Read and record freeze-frame data and all related codes
Visually inspect pump, harness, connectors and grounds for damage or corrosion
Check transmission/axle fluid level and condition (contamination, burn smell)
Inspect and replace/clean in-line filters and check cooler/hoses for restriction
Measure motor winding resistance and compare with spec
Measure motor current draw with a clamp meter while operating

Motor winding resistance: expect low ohms (measure and compare to OEM spec)
Operating current draw: measure with clamp meter; should be steady and within OEM range (abnormal high current indicates mechanical/electrical fault)
Pump motor temperature sensor: voltage or resistance at ambient and during run (compare to expected temp-to-voltage/ohm curve)
Pump duty cycle or command duty (%) from control module while operating
Fluid temperature at pump inlet/outlet vs. ambient (should rise with load but remain below over-temp threshold set in module)

Retrieve and document freeze frame and any additional transmission/drive module codes. Clear codes and attempt to reproduce under similar operating conditions.
Perform visual inspection of pump assembly, electrical connectors, wiring harness, and grounds. Repair any obvious damage or corrosion.
Check fluid level and condition; correct level and, if fluid is contaminated or burnt, plan a fluid/filter service before retest.
Inspect and clean/replace filters and check cooler and lines for restrictions or collapsed hoses.
With vehicle safely supported and transmission in correct state per OEM, measure motor winding resistance and compare to spec.
With engine running and pump commanded, measure motor current with clamp meter. High or spiking current suggests mechanical binding or winding short.
Monitor pump temperature sensor signal with a multimeter or scan tool while operating. Confirm sensor response correlates to actual temperature or replace sensor if out of range.
If electrical parameters are within spec but motor still overheats, disconnect pump and bench-test or replace pump assembly. If bench test shows overheating, replace pump.
If wiring, sensor, and pump check good, inspect pump control module power/ground and software; update or replace module as required by OEM procedure.
After repairs, clear codes and road-test under the conditions that produced the fault to verify resolution.
