Lance Wiggins Technical Director

Creating a Great Seminar For most of you, a technical seminar is maybe half-a-dozen or so hours of intense technical information and then, as quickly as it begins, its over. But a lot of effort goes in ahead of time, researching, developing and designing a seminar, long before its ready to play your town. Long days late hours frayed nerves all part of the process to put a clean, carefully-choreographed presentation in front of a discriminating audience. The folks involved in developing this years seminar are the leaders in the transmission repair industry. With over 200 years of combined technical experience, theyve poured their heart and soul into every page and slide in this program. Whether their contribution involved technical expertise or organizational skills, the culmination of their efforts was an extraordinary educational experience that were proud to call the ATRA 2002 Technical Seminar. We hope your experience is as rewarding as it was for us to develop it.

General Motors T-Truck


4WD Fails to Properly Release
The operation of the front axle for the Chevrolet, GMC and Oldsmobile T-Truck has changed on some 1999 and later vehicles. The primary difference deals with how the front axle receives vacuum. Vehicles with RPO (Regular Production Operation) code NP1 use the previous design while vehicles with RPO code NP8 use the new design system. The NP8 systems use an electric vacuum solenoid which is mounted to the bulkhead/fender area. The TCCM energizes and deenergizes the vacuum solenoid, to control the flow of vacuum to the front axle actuator. Concern: The vehicle will not come out of 4wd or it delays coming out of 4wd. This concern may likely be linked to previous engine compartment work (engine repairs, tune-ups etc.). Common Cause: The vacuum lines on the vacuum solenoid are mixed up. This restricts atmospheric pressure from entering the system to release the front axle vacuum actuator. Repair: Reinstall the hoses in their correct position on the vacuum solenoid valve.

TCC Surge/Chuggle/Slip at 45-60 MPH
Some 2001 Chevrolet Cavalieras and Pontaic Sunfires have customer complaints of Surge/Chuggle/Slip while cruising between 45-60 mph. The driver may notice a fluctuation between 20-300 RPM on the tachometer. This condition maybe caused by variation in the torque converter clutch slip speed. In order to test for this condition, this vehicle must have no codes, be at normal operating temperature, with TCC applied, cruising between 45-60 mph. Monitor TCC slip on the scanner. If the TCC slip fluctuates between 20-300 RPM with a duty cycle between 25-50% then command TCC full apply (99% PMW). If this eliminates the concern, re-calibrate the PCM with the appropriate calibration.

4T65E, 1999 and Later


Harsh Reverse Engagement Cold
Concern: This condition is most common when shifting into reverse, then to drive and then back to reverse. Generally the second shift to reverse will be the one that is harsh. Common Cause: The main cause of this concern is a calibration error in the vehicle software. To separate the cause of this concern from a faulty Pressure Control Solenoid (PCS), note the commanded PCS amperage when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. If the commanded amperage is around .1 amps, calibration may be causing the concern. Repair: Calibrations known as POGS (power on garage shift) adapts have been released for all applications with the exception of the W and X body vehicles. Refer to the GM calibration web site http://calid.gm.com/vci/ for your correct calibration numbers. On X and W body applications a quick learn of the Reverse garage shift adapt will have to be preformed. To perform the quick learn place the transmission in reverse for at least 15 seconds.

Erratic Shifts and Multiple DTCs Wiring Harness Problems
Concern: Several different concerns may develop such as: P0716, P0717, Shift Solenoid, Pressure Control Solenoid, transmission Fluid Pressure, and or Transmission Fluid Temperature codes. The Transmission may exhibit shift related concerns, such as dropping out of the commanded gear, not shifting to the commanded gear and or hard shifts. Any of the above concerns may occur in conjunction with each other and may be intermittent.

Erratic Shifts and Multiple DTCs (continued)
Wiring Harness at Transmission side cover
Common Cause: Several vehicles, especially the 1997-01 W-bodys have a problem with the transmission harness. The harness is too short, causing the harness to be under tremendous stress as engine torque moves the transmission in its cradle mounts. Many times this leads to harness damage as it rubs on the ribs of the side cover. In addition, the connector may be difficult to latch so be sure it is fully latched at the top and the bottom of the connector. The connectors are under severe stress and the receiving pins in the connectors may be damaged leading to pin tension concerns. In addition it may prevent the weather tight seal on the connector from being properly positioned, which may allow water to penetrate the connector. This may lead to corrosion of the pins. The harness was lengthened on 2002 vehicles to address these concerns.

27

4T65E
Erratic Shifts and Multiple DTCs (continued)
Wiring Harness at A/C A ccumulator
Common Cause: The harness is not fully shielded with conduit in this area allowing the harness to rub on the A/C accumulator on some applications. This is the main PCM harness, so various symptoms can occur including transmission related symptoms. The symptoms or DTCs present will depend on which wires have rubbed through. Pontiac Aztec models had the harness improperly routed behind the A/C accumulator, which increases the probability of a harness problem. Testing: A quick check for this concern includes a visual inspection for damage in the suspect area. Monitor input speed on your scanner as you wiggle the harness and the transmission connector with the engine running in park range. If input speed dramatically changes as you move the connector and/or harness inspect the harness, the connector female terminal tension and the terminal crimps for possible problems. Repair: Address any pin tension, crimp or harness rub through concerns that may be present. Install additional conduit on the harness in the A/C accumulator area and reroute the harness to relieve the stress on the harness.

P0741 TCC Stuck Off
Concern: 4T65E applications may exhibit a concern that causes a P0741 DTC to set. In addition a P0730 DTC may also be set. The parameters for setting a P0741 are: No TP, ISS, VSS, TFP DTCs are set. The manual valve is in OD, D or M2 range. TFT is between 68-266F (20-130C). TP is between 4-35%. TCC is commanded to maximum apply. P0742, P1860, P1887 DTCs are not set. TCC slip speed is calculated to above 180 RPM for more than 7 seconds two times within the same ignition key cycle.

If P0741 is set the PCM will respond by: Inhibiting TCC. Inhibiting 4th gear if in hot mode. Freeze shift adapts. Turn on the MIL (SES) light on the second consecutive trip in which a failure occurred.

GENERAL MOTORS

4T65E
P0741 TCC Stuck Off (continued)
Failure of the drive sprocket support bearing When the bearing first starts to fail, metal particles from the bearing can restrict the TCC solenoid and screen. As the bearing continues to fail, the TCC seal rings on the turbine shaft will be unable to seal properly on the channel plate sleeve. Ultimately the shaft looses the support in the bearing. This allows the TCC apply pressure to escape, leading to the DTC. The sleeve in the channel plate may be damaged by the turbine shaft, as it moves around in the bearing. Depending on the extent of the bearing failure the unit may have a noise associated with the DTC.

Note any wear or debris in bearing or sprocket.

Will Not Move Forward, Reverse Okay
Concern: 1997 and later 4T65E transmissions may exhibit a condition where the vehicle will not move forward in any range, but it will move backward. Common Cause: The weld attaching the sun gear to the reaction sun gear drum is breaking. Porosity in the weld causes the weld to fracture. This allows the sun gear to spin in the reaction drum as torque is applied to the gear set. Testing: To identify if a broken sun gear is responsible for the concern, unplug the transmission electrical connector (failsafe is 3rd gear), place the transmission in OD range. If the vehicle now moves forward, the sun gear weld is broken. Repair: Replace the reaction sun gear drum assembly.

4T80E/4T65E
No Start After Transmission Repair Replacement
Concern: This condition may occur while using transmission test boxes/tools to diagnose the unit or if the incorrect transmission was installed in the vehicle. Common Cause: Several late model 4T65E/4T80E models utilize an internal mode switch (IMS) mounted within the transaxle. One of the functions of the IMS is to act as a neutral safety switch. When the transaxle is unplugged or when the IMS or its wiring is damaged/faulty a NO START condition will occur. All IMS model units utilize a feature known as PCM controlled start which means if the voltage sequence created by the IMS is not correct, the PCM will inhibit operation of the starter relay. Repair: Check the Transaxle connector, make sure it is plugged in securely. If the transaxle was replaced by another unit, check the model code to be sure it is the correct model for your application. To diagnose the IMS, monitor the IMS voltage values with a meter or with a scan tool. Use the chart to isolate the cause.

4L60E
P1870
Concern: P1870 and or, intermittent no TCC Common Cause: There are several things that were covered in the seminar in previous years that may lead to a P1870 DTC. One additional condition that may cause TCC to be inoperative is the converter clutch valve apply spring. Several springs have been found to be improperly wound. An improperly wound spring can catch in the bore, which may prevent the TCC apply valve from moving into the applied position. Repair: The valve should move upward freely for about . When pressure is removed the valve should return to the released position. If the valve does not operate as described, the spring may not be properly wound or the valve and or bore may be damaged. Another method is to simply remove the valve and inspect the spring. Look closely at the ends where the spring is wound correctly. If it is not properly wound, replace the spring.

4L60E
Severe Low/Reverse Clutch Failure
1993-95 4L60Es can develop cracks in the case between main line and the park/ reverse (PR) circuits. With the manual valve in the OD position the PR circuit has no exhaust. The manual valve traps this leaking fluid, causing the low/reverse clutch to partially apply while driving forward. Later units may still develop cracks in the case, however in 1996 the valve body and manual valve were redesigned, adding an exhaust passage for the PR circuit while in the OD range. Because of this added exhaust passage the failure may not seem as severe on 1996-on units that develop cracks in the case. The case should always be inspected for cracks regardless of production date. The 1996 valve bodies do not retrofit due to changes such as the 3-2 control valve changing to a switch valve rather than a modulating valve. The 1996-on manual valve can be used effectively with an earlier valve body when an exhaust hole is drilled in the valve body casting. Concern: Low/Reverse clutch failure (can fail on short test drive). Common Cause: Crack in case passage between main line and the PR circuit. Repair: Inspect case for cracks, replace as required. Modify early valve bodies and change the manual valve to avoid repeat failures.

Hard 1-2 Shift
Concern: Some 4L60E applications may exhibit a hard 1-2 shift condition. Cause: This concern may be caused by any of the following conditions. #8 check ball may not be sealing properly on the spacer plate or it may be missing. This check ball has a tendency to severely peen the spacer plate. Several DTCs may result in increased line pressure. These include slippage, ratio error and several of the solenoid DTCs. Broken, damaged or incorrectly installed 1-2 accumulator spring/piston. Sticking, damaged or incorrectly installed accumulator valve or spring. Drill and tap a 2-4 servo cover and note the pressure at the cover while making a 1-2 shift. If pressure is present, inspect the 4-3 sequence, 3-4 relay valves.

1-2 Shift Complaint
Concern: Some Bravada, Trailblazer and Envoy 4L60E applications may exhibit a 1-2 shift complaint, (Harsh, Erratic shift patterns). In many instances this concern is intermittent. In addition to transmission related concerns, the vehicle may exhibit any of the following concerns; lost Radio presets and time , dash gauges erratic, other electrical components operate erratically. Cause: Several items can cause a hard 1-2 shift. On the above applications one additional item has been shown as a possible cause of the concern. A loose battery connection or a loose connection at the UBEC (Under Bus Electrical Connector) can lead to the concern. This concern has proven to cause drive ability and/ or transmission concerns, but generally does not effect vehicle starting system operation. Repair: Prior to attempting to repair the transmission for the concern, check for Loss of communication DTCs. If a loss of communication DTC is set, inspect the battery connections for being loose or cross threaded. In addition, inspect the UBEC battery connections for possibly being loose or damaged.

P0118, P1115 Set Intermittently, TCC Fails to Operate Properly 4.8,5.3, 6.0L Engines
Concern: Some GM full size trucks and vans may set a P0118 and or P1115 DTC (coolant temp). This concern is generally intermittent although in some cases it may be present all the time. If P0118 is displayed on the scan tool as failed this ignition cycle a hard failure is present. Common Cause: A bad crimp at the coolant temp sensor connector is the most common cause for this concern. In most instances this is due to harness routing. The harness may be routed in such a way that it is under stress as the engine moves in its mounts with engine load changes.

Repair: Remove the terminal from the connector. If the wire has separated from the terminal, replace the terminal and reroute the harness as needed.

P1781 DTC Set


Possible P0700 Set SES/MIL Light On
Concern: Some GM pickup/truck applications equipped with the Allison Transmission (RPO code M74) may experience a condition where the SES (Service Engine Soon) light or the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) comes on. This condition is most common on the 8.1L gas engine applications (RPO code L18). P1781/P0700 indicates a problem with the TCM MIL request circuit. If the voltage is incorrect, the PCM will set a P1781 DTC and the MIL will be illuminated on the second consecutive failure (Type B DTC). The P1781 DTC will be stored with the Engine DTCs even though it is a transmission related concern. The technician may be instructed when following the procedures in the shop manual to replace the TCM (Transmission Control Module) to correct the condition. Before replacing the TCM, check the following: Common Cause/Repair: Several items may cause code P1781/P0700. Low charging system output Faulty battery or low battery state of charge Short to ground in the TCM/PCM MIL request circuit Open in TCM/PCM MIL request circuit If checking the circuit does not lead to the root cause of the concern you may want to consider reprogramming the PCM before replacing the TCM or the PCM. The concern can be caused by a programming problem with the PCM, which leads the PCM to incorrectly interpret the voltage value on circuit 2687. Faulty TCM/PCM

4L60E
Growl/Ring Noise with TCC Applied
Concern: Some 2000-up trucks with the 4L60E (M30 RPO) and the 4.8L V-8 (LR4 RPO) may exhibit a drive shaft ringing or growling noise when the TCC is applied at low road speeds. The noise is most prevalent when the engine rpm is between 1000-1500 rpm and the TCC is applied. This condition is most common on the standard cab, manual transfer case models but it can also occur with other vehicles. Common Cause: The concern is caused by engine firing impulses which are transferred and magnified by the drive train. Repair: A revised PCM calibration is available to repair this condition. The new calibration raises the TCC apply point by about 10 mph. Installing the updated calibration will lower the vehicles fuel economy so the customer should be informed of this prior to installing the new calibration. Use the chart below to identify the correct calibration for your application.

4L80E 1999-On
No Engine Braking In Manual Second After Rebuild
Concern: No engine braking in M2 range with the vehicle loaded. Common Cause: The front band was updated as part of a durability package for the 1999 model year. If the wrong band and/or servo pin is used, slippage in manual second may result. If the band is updated, the servo piston and pin must also be updated. Repair: Install the correct band, servo piston and pin for the application. 1991-1998 model years use: Band part number 24202631 Servo piston and pin part number 24200418 1999-2002 model years use: Band part number 24210080 (2mm wider) Servo piston/pin part number 24223081 (.200 longer)

Allison LCT 1000


Lack of Stall Speed in 4WD Range
Concern: Many technicians have commented regarding the operation of the Allison transmission on both the 6.6L Dura Max diesel and the 8.1L gas engine applications. It has been noted that the torque converter stall speed is much lower when the transmission is in reverse range and the transfer case is in 4wd range. It is common to see stall speed between 1000-1300 rpm while in reverse and 4wd range. Common Cause: The 6.6L and 8.1L applications can supply too much torque to the front drive axle due to the transmission planetary torque multiplication available in reverse range. This excessive torque could cause the front axle to fail. Repair: No repair should be attempted, as the vehicle is operating as designed. The 8.1L and 6.6L applications torque manage the engine torque output when the transmission is in reverse while in 4wd. This is accomplished by controlling the spark timing and or fuel delivery systems.

4T80E
Ratio and Application Chart
The 4T80E utilizes several different final drives. Installing the wrong transmission or final drive can result in several different ratio error or slip DTCs. Refer to the chart to determine what final drive and converter should be used for your application. As with other GM vehicles the engine, transmission and final drive ratio information for your specific vehicle model is located on the regular production option label (RPO). The RPO label should be used exclusively to determine which transmission and/or final drive fits in which vehicle body style and application.

NOTE All 4T80E applications use the same drive/driven sprocket tooth counts.

A utomatic Transfer Case


Chatter/Slippage
Concern: Some GM compact trucks, vans, full size trucks and sport utility vehicles equipped with the NV 136, NV 236 or the NV 246 auto transfer case, may have a complaint of a chatter concern when turning if the transfer case is in the Auto range. (Note: The NV 136 is in the auto range all the time) The chatter concern tends to get worse as the transfer case fluid temperature increases. This is especially noticeable after the vehicle has been left sitting for a few minutes at full temperature. In addition, some customers may have an additional or different symptom, such as front wheel slippage when the transfer case is in auto or 4wd range. Causes: Several items can cause the above concerns such as: The wrong fluid was used in the transfer case. All auto transfer case applications require AUTO TRAC II FLUID ONLY. Do not use regular ATF! Clutch pack clearance is incorrect or damaged clutches Front axle drag, causing damage to the transfer case clutches when the unit is operated at very cold temperatures in 2wd range. Misassembled or internal damage Drive motor binding/damaged Shift fork binding/damaged Repair: Depending on the extent of the concern, the unit may be repaired by draining the fluid and then refilling it with Auto Trac II fluid( Part # 12378508 Canada Part # 10953626). Drive the vehicle in a figure 8 pattern several times with the unit in auto mode. Operate the vehicle until the transfer case reaches full operating temperature. Drain and refill the unit with Auto Trac II fluid. In addition you may want to consider upgrading the fluid being used in the front axle to Castrol Synthetic fluid (Part # 12378261 or in Canada Part# 10953455) (75w-90) or equivalent.

TCC Concerns How to Test the system
The easiest way to test the TCC circuit is to know whats happening when the computer is ready to apply the TCC. Once all parameters are met, and the computer is ready to apply the TCC, the TCC solenoid is energized by the computer. Hydraulically, the line pressure is supplied to the coast clutch regulator valve. The coast clutch regulator valve charges the TCC solenoid and now the TCC solenoid pulses the TCC regulator valve to apply the torque converter clutch. To determine whether or not the converter, solenoid or both are causing the problem simply energize the TCC in the stall on the lift, or stationary. This test is simply checking the integrity of the converter and the circuit. If the engine Stalls: The converter is capable of locking-up and the valves definitely moved and the problem may be in the regulation of the valves and the performance of the PWM circuit. If the engine doesnt Stall: The first thing to check is the solenoid if the solenoid is working then the TCC charge has a leak in the system. This leak can be in a number of different areas. Using your scan tool, locate the parameter that says TCC% and TCCAMACT or TCC RPM on your data screen. These parameters will give you a quick look at the system. TCC% is the amount of duty cycle the computer is commanding the TCC solenoid to pulse, usually this parameter runs between 90% and 100% on your scanner. TCCAMACT is the amount of slip RPM the computer is detecting. GOOD Reading: TCC % TCCAMACT BAD Reading: TCC % TCCAMCAT Varying between 90% and 100% Varying higher then 10 RPM and as high as 200 RPM Varying between 90% and 100% Varying between 0-10 RPM

Modify the Separator plate to increase cooler flow. Cooler flow should be a minimum of 1 quart in 20 seconds. Make sure line pressure is within specification, high line pressures can cause low cooler flow. Concern: TCC slip, or insufficient cooler flow. Common Cause: The separator plate may have the wrong size feed holes. The converter feed holes are normally between 0.032 and 0.048. Repair: Drill the converter feed hole in the separator plate to 0.060 for increased cooler flow.

Shift Concerns With Adaptive Shift Strategy
Adaptive shift strategy, although fairly new to Ford, has been around for quite sometime now. The new 2001 5R44E/55E and 5R55N/55W are equipped with the adaptive strategy and it is important to understand the conditions needed for proper shift timing. The Adaptive Strategy is also used for adjusting the pressure control system. When power is lost to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) the transmission shifts are affected, and may cause damage if precautions are not taken. The reasons for shift adaptive electronic pressure control strategy: Better control over shift events. Maintain high mileage durability. Reduce unit variation from vehicle to vehicle. Provide consistent shift feel over the life of the vehicle.

Reasons for loss of power to the PCM: Vehicle battery disconnected or battery drain. An updated calibration installed to the Powertrain Control Module. Keep Alive Power lost to the Powertrain Control Module while the battery is still connected. (Bad Relay, Fuse, Wiring, PCM)

5R44E/55E, 5R55N/55W
Shift Concerns With Adaptive Shift Strategy (continued)
The inputs that directly affect the transmissions capability to shift correctly and maintain smooth shifting sequences are: Inputs: Mass air flow sensor (MAF) Engine speed (RPM) Turbine speed (TSS) Intermediate speed (ISS) Vehicle speed/output speed (VSS/OSS)

Conditions needed to adapt: Calibrated minimum throttle level and minimum change in throttle. Calibrated operating temperature. Upshifts. Closed throttle, manual downshifts. Engagements.

Normal conditions for Adaptive Shift Control: New vehicle/transmission with abrupt shift feel or slip. Shifts only adapt at operating temperature. May take several shifts under same operating conditions to adapt. Information gets stored in Keep Alive Memory (KAM) power. Power loss to KAM, transmission shifts in its pre-adapted level. Adaptive process will, over time, fully update KAM. Depending on driving style, it may take longer to complete the adaptive strategy.

Neutrals While Taking Off From a Stop
Concern: Typically described as during heavy acceleration from a stop the transmission neutralizes, but additional symptoms may be present. In 1st, 2nd or 3rd gear in the O/D position during heavy acceleration the transmission neutralizing may also accompany this concern. Common Cause: The 3/4 shift valve strokes cutting off the forward clutch. Restricted solenoids being the most common concern are the focus of our attention, but keep in mind that it is the flooding of the solenoids that causes the neutralization so anything that can cause a solenoid to flood is also of concern. Testing & Repair: Install a gauge on the forward clutch pressure tap. When the neutralization occurs, if the gauge reads at or near 0psi, replace the shift solenoids and inspect the solenoid pressure regulator valve and bore for wear.

Concern: During a 3/4 shift or just accelerating in 4th the transmission neutralizes. No codes present and the correct commands are being sent to the transmission. Common Cause: 2/3 shift valve end plug leaking. This leak causes the direct clutch to be cut off due to the amount of solenoid oil pressure required to keep both the 3/4 shift valve and the 2/3 shift valve in the stroked position. Because the 2/3 shift valve has only one area for solenoid pressure to pin the valve verses two for the 3/4 shift valve it is more likely to be susceptible to the leak.

Neutrals on the 3-4 Shift (continued)
Testing & Repair: Install a pressure gauge on the direct clutch tap. When the transmission neutralizes if the gauge shows little or no pressure, then remove the 2/3 shift valve end plug and run a tubing cutter around the outside diameter to seal the leak. NOTE: While performing this repair also check the 2/3 shift and solenoid pressure regulator valves and bores for wear.

Solenoid Pack Update
In January 1998 diesel applications were changed to Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) Torque Converter Clutches from On/Off operation. The remaining Gas applications with 4R100 became modulated in the 1999 new model introduction. A filter was added to the Solenoid bodies with PWM. These filters were installed to help keep the TCC solenoid from being contaminated. Identifying Solenoid Bodies: First Design The first design PWM solenoid body has a NATURAL top cover. Note: This solenoid body does not have a TCC screen! Second Design The second design PWM solenoid body has a GREEN top cover and a screen for the PWM circuit. However, this solenoid body caused a 2-3 and 3-4 shift flare with marginal fluid capacity at the PWM solenoid. The PWM solenoid and PCM calibration had to be updated. Note: This change resulted in the third design replacement solenoid body! (Do not use the second design solenoid body) Third Design The third design replacement solenoid body has an Orange top cover. Note: This solenoid body has a screen! This screen is not serviceable. When replacements are necessary it will be necessary to replace the solenoid body assembly.

Shift Solenoid Failures
Solenoid Operation and Failure Charts Shift solenoid operation is the first step in diagnosing shift timing concerns. The following shift solenoid operation and failure charts will help to quickly diagnose common problems such as wrong gear starts, skipping gears and irregular shift patterns. Operation of the Power Take Off PTO will be affected by shift solenoid B (SSB) failure. If the vehicle is equipped with a PTO it must be turned off during diagnosis. On-Board Diagnostic is not accessible when the PTO unit is in operation. SSB must be on and working correctly for the PTO to operate properly.

46/47RE 1998-Up Diesel


Lock-up and or 4th Gear Hunt, No Codes
In 1998, Dodge began using an Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor APPS instead of a Throttle Position Sensor TPS in the 5.9L Diesel Pick-ups. There are three major differences between the APPS and TPS. 1. Cost 2. The addition of two idle switches and 3. The APPS signal enters the Engine Control Module ECM then exits as the TPS signal to the Powertrain Control Module PCM. Concern: Lock-up and or 4th gear hunting with no codes present. Scan data shows hunt is commanded with no other parameters varying. Cause: The most frequent failures occur either inside the ECM or in the wiring between the ECM and the PCM. The APPS input circuit H102 enters the ECM as a good signal, but the TPS output circuit K22 to the PCM is erratic. Transmission operation is affected because it is the primary job of the PCM to control its operation. Repair: Jumper an additional wire into circuit H102. Cut the wire at circuit K22 at the PCM connector C1 terminal 23. Connect the jumper wire from circuit H102 to terminal 23 on PCM connector C1 and retest.

Proper Oil Level Check Sequence
Accurate fluid level is difficult to determine. Initially add only five quarts of fluid during the refill procedure. This amount will allow the engine to be started and the transmission to be operated in neutral until the transmission temperature has reached at least 70F. Once the fluid temperature is known, the final amount of fluid can be added without overfilling the transmission. During this procedure, pressure switch and/or loss of prime DTCs may be set. There are a few things you need to do before checking the fluid level on a 45RFE. 1. 2. 3. 4. Warm to fluid to at least between 70-180F by operating the vehicle. Measure the transmission fluid temperature using scanner. Move the gear selector through drive and reverse. Place the gear selector in the Park position. Check the fluid level against the chart below.

If the fluid temperature is below 50F, it will not register on the dipstick.

The TRS is a series of open switches. Each switch must function in the order listed in the chart for the computer to know what range and is present when the switches are selected. Battery voltage is supplied by the computer to the switches, when the switches close, the circuit goes to ground. The switches must close in the correct sequence or the PCM will see a fault and set codes pertaining to the TRS.

Transmission Oil Temperature (TOT) Sensor
TOT resistance varies with transmission oil temperature. The computer supplies a 5.0V reference. As temperature increases, TOT resistance decreases and visa versa. When transmission temperature reaches about 130F there is an internal switch in the TCM that changes the voltage scale as shown in the chart below.

Line Pressure Sensor (LPS)
Line pressure is controlled by the TCM it receives its signal from the line pressure sensor (LPS). The LPS is a variable pressure sensor that gives a direct input to the TCM. A plunger inside of the solenoid sets the varying voltage. This sensor works under the same principle as the TPS but instead of having a mechanical sweep, the TCM calculates the desired line pressure based on the inputs from the transmission and engine. The TCM calculates torque input to the transmission and uses it as the primary input to the desired line pressure calculation. This is called Torque Based Line Pressure.

Torque Reduction (TRD)
During high torque shifts the TCM sends a message to the PCM requesting that the PCM reduce engine power until the shift is complete. The PCM reduces engine torque by shutting off a certain number of fuel injectors and retarding ignition timing slightly. This message is sent from the TCM to the PCM across the TRD sense circuit. The PCM acknowledges the TCMs request by sending a confirmation message across the Data Bus. The TRD link communication is also tested periodically for operation whenever the engine is running and the vehicle is not moving and at zero degrees throttle. If torque reduction is requested from the TCM and there is no confirmation back from the PCM it will set a code that does NOT illuminate the MIL or result in limp-in. What you will see is the transmission upshift at lower RPMs when the throttle is at or near Wide Open Throttle and a complaint of short shifting or lack of power. This will also inhibit high speed 2-1, 3-2, 4-3 and 4-2 kickdowns at heavy throttle.

A harsh 1-2 upshift during light or wide open throttle accelerations. A harsh 4-3 kickdown shift during low speed, light throttle conditions.

TCM and Reprogramming The revision to the TCM software addresses the above shift quality conditions for all vehicles, and adds a final gear ratio to the Grand Cherokee transmission only. Only the 1999 and 2000 Grand Cherokee vehicles, with a Federal Emissions System (NAA) and PCM software that is earlier than calibration level 99- Cal-19A (for 1999 M.Y.) or 00-Cal-l6A (for 2000 M.Y.), require PCM reprogramming.

Quick Learn Procedure
Clutch volume index (CVI) represents the volume of fluid needed to stroke the clutch return spring. The programing of the TCM allows it to constantly monitor the time it takes to fill the clutch. If the TCM detects a longer or shorter then normal shift it will try to make the necessary adjustments to the solenoids through modulating the duty cycle.

Quick Learn Procedure (continued)
Concern: The transmission doesnt shift smoothly. This condition may occur even after a Quick Learn procedure has been completed. The 45RFE transmission adapts to its mechanical tolerances by learning the clutch volume indexes (CVIs) as well as the duty cycle and other parameters that control shift quality. Performing a Quick Learn will simply reset all transmission adaptive values to factory preset values and it will exercise the transmission clutches to learn an approximate value for the clutch CVIs. Quick Learn should not be used as a remedy for shift quality complaints. Quick Learn resets more than 70 learn parameters to their preset values and will require them to be relearned. Quick Learn should only be used when a transmission has been replaced or overhauled, or when the Transmission Control Module has been replaced or flashed. Once Quick Learn is performed, an initial drive evaluation should be performed to determine if the transmission is shifting smoothly. The first step is to verify that the shifter linkage is adjusted properly and that the CHECK PRNDL fault (code 28) is not present. A misadjusted shifter will not set code 28. A misadjusted shifter cable will however cause poor 2-3 shift quality. It is critical that the PRNDL code be OD when the shifter is in the OD position gate. Use a scan tool to confirm that the correct code is present. If the shifter has a temporary code (T3 or T4) in the OD shifter position, then this is the most likely cause for consistent poor 2-3 shift quality. If the linkage is out of adjustment, then adjust the shifter cable. Perform the portion of the following 45RFE Quick Learn Procedure that will learn the specific shift characteristic for the shift problem in question.

Quick Learn Procedure (continued)
Procedure to Learn a Smooth 1st Neutral to Drive Shift Perform this procedure only if the complaint is for a delayed or harsh shift the first time the transmission is put into gear after the vehicle is allowed to set with the engine not running for at least 10 minutes. Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the lst N-1 UD CVI. NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be between 80-110 F (27-43C). Start the engine only when the engine and ignition have been off for at least ten (10) minutes. With the vehicle at a stop and the service brake applied, record the UD CVI while performing a Neutral to Drive shift. During the shift, the UD CVI will temporarily show a different value which is the lst N-1 UD CVI. The lst N-1 UD CVI account for air entrapment in the UD clutch that may occur after the engine has been off for a period of time. Repeat until the recorded lst N-1 UD CVI value stabilizes.

It is important that this procedure be performed when the transmission temperature is between 80-110 F (27-43C). If this procedure takes too long to complete fully for the allowed transmission oil temperature, the vehicle may be returned to the customer with an explanation that the shift will improve daily during normal vehicle usage. The TCM also learns at higher oil temperatures, but these values (line pressure correction values) are not available for viewing on a scan tool.

Quick Learn Procedure (continued)
Procedure to Learn a Smooth Neutral to Drive Garage Shift Perform this procedure if the complaint is for a delayed or harsh shift when the transmission is put into gear after the vehicle has had its first shift. Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the N-1 UD CVI. NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be between 80-110 F (27-43C). Start the vehicle engine and shift to drive. Move the vehicle forward to a speed of at least 10 MPH and come to a stop. Perform repeated N-1 shifts at a stop while pausing in Neutral for at least 2-3 seconds and monitor UD CVI volume until the value stabilizes. The value will change during the N-D shift. This is normal since the UD value is different for the N-1 shift then the normal value shown which is used for 4-3 coastdown and kickdowns. Perform re peated shifts in this temperature range until the UD CVI value stabilizes and the N-1 shifts become smooth.

Procedure to Learn 1st 2-3 Shift After a Restart or Shift to Reverse Use the following procedure to have the TCM learn the 1st 2-3 shift OD CVI. NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 80F (27C). With the vehicle engine running, select reverse gear for over 2 seconds. Shift the transmission to Drive and accelerate the vehicle from a stop at a steady 15 degree throttle opening and perform a 2-3 shift while noting the OD CVI. During the shift, a different value will appear on the screen, which is the lst 2-3 OD CVI. Repeat until the lst 2-3 upshift becomes smooth and the lst 2-3 OD CVI stabilizes.

Procedure to Learn a Smooth 2-3 Shift and 3-4 Upshift Use the following procedure to have the TCM learn the OD and 4C CVIs. NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 110F (43C). Accelerate the vehicle from a stop at a steady 15 degree throttle open ing and perform multiple 1-2, 2-3, and 3-4 upshifts. The 2nd 2-3 shift following a restart or shift to reverse will be shown during the shift as a value between the 1st 2-3 OD CVI and the normal OD CVI. Updates to the normal OD CVI will occur after the 2nd shift into 3rd gear, following a restart or shift to reverse. Repeat until the 2-3 and 3-4 shifts become smooth and the OD and 4C CVI become stable.

Procedure to Learn a Smooth 4-3 Coastdown & Part Throttle 4-3 Kickdown Use the following procedure to have the TCM learn the UD shift volume. NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 110F (43C).

At a vehicle speed between 40 - 60 MPH, perform repeated 4-3 kick down shifts. Repeat until the UD volume becomes somewhat stable and the shift becomes smooth.

Procedure to learn 1st 2-3 shift after a restart or shift to reverse Use the following procedure to have the TCM learn the 2C shift volume. NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 110F (43C). With a vehicle speed below 30 MPH and the transmission in 3rd gear, perform multiple 3-2 kickdowns. Repeat until the 3-2 kickdowns become smooth and the 2C CVI becomes stable.

Procedure to Learn a Smooth Manual 2-1 Pulldown Shift as well as a Neutral to Reverse Shift Use the following procedure to have the TCM learn the LR volume. NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 110F (43C).

With the vehicle speed around 25-30 MPH in Manual 2nd, perform manual pulldowns to Low or lst gear at closed throttle. Repeat until the LR CVI become stable and the manual 2-1 becomes smooth

Procedure to Learn a Smooth Neutral to Reverse Shift Perform the following shifts. NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 110F (43C). With the vehicle at a stop, perform Neutral to Reverse shifts until the shift is smooth. An unlearned Neutral to Reverse shift may be harsh or exhibit a double bump.

If any of the shifts are still not smooth after the clutch volume stabilizes, an internal transmission problem may be present.

Shift Quality Concerns after TCM Replacement
Whenever a Transmission Control Module (TCM) is replaced due to failure, the software of the replacement controller must be verified for the latest revision level. Use the flash procedure to update replaced controllers as necessary. Several improvements in shift quality have recently been made to address the following concerns: Harsh (light throttle) 1 - 2 shift between 10 and 15 miles per hour. Low speed (10 - 12 mph) light throttle tip in bump. Drone at approximately 40 - 45 mph in 4th gear with EMCC engaged. Slow (1 1/2 to 2 seconds) park/neutral to drive engagement. This condition may occur after the first key ON or once after subsequent key ONs with a soak time of several minutes or more. This will not address long engagements due to pump loss of prime. Neutral coastdown bump at approximately 8 miles per hour. This may occur if a customer coasts to a stop with the transmission in neu tral.

Neutral to drive engagement harshness with the vehicle rolling between 5 and 10 miles per hour. This may occur if a customer is coasting in neutral within the specified speed range and shifts the transmission into drive.

Vehicle Bucking During Wide-Open Throttle Acceleration
Concern: Some vehicles may experience bucking during wide-open throttle (WOT) acceleration. The bucking occurs at approximately 5300 RPM. Common Cause: This condition may be caused by reaching the high RPM fuel shut off rev limit before the transmission can shift into the next higher gear and is most likely to occur with high electrical loads (high beams on, heated seats, radio, blower motor on MAX, etc.). During high current demands, the generator may emit electrical noise that can affect the transmission governor pressure sensor output. If this occurs, the transmission may not shift properly to the next higher gear under (WOT) acceleration conditions and therefore reach the fuel shut off rev limiter. This may be seen most often between the 2-3 shift but can also be experienced between the 1-2 shift. Testing: Attempt to duplicate the condition by switching on all accessory loads and driving the vehicle with WOT accelerations through a shift sequence to see if the engine will reach the fuel shut off rev limiter before the 2-3 or 1-2 shift is made. If the bucking condition is experienced at approximately 5300 RPM before making the appropriate upshifts, switch off all electrical loads and repeat the procedure. Repeat the procedure with the electrical loads on and off a second time. If the bucking occurs with the electrical loads on and does not occur with the loads off. Repair: Replace the governor pressure sensor. Part Number P/N 56041403AA Description Sensor, Governor Pressure

Differential Fill
To avoid repeat differential failures technicians are raising the fluid level from the Max level, to the bottom of the speedometer gear as indicated below. Both transaxles original refill capacity is 0.75L with the difference between the Min and Max being 0.1L. Use VW synthetic ATF in the 01M differential and VW synthetic gear oil in the 096 differential. VW synthetic ATF: 0.5L part # G 052 162 A1 1.0L part # G 052 162 A2 VW synthetic Gear Oil (SAE 75 W90): 0.5L part # G 052 145 A1 1.0L part # G 052 145 A2

Transaxle Identification
The 096 transaxle has three different phases 0, 1, and 3 all of which use different apply charts. Phase 0 vehicles have an ECO/SPORT switch. Phase 1 vehicles eliminated the ECO/SPORT function. Phase 2 and 01M vehicles use a conventional converter clutch and a transmission speed sensor was added. The identification code can be used to obtain production dates and to match the transaxle to the vehicle.

NOTE: The code letters of the transmission also appears on the vehicle data plate.

Shift Hunting
The Transmission Vehicle Speed Sensor (Transmission VSS) and Vehicle speed sensor (VSS) connectors can be swapped. This error may not set a code, but it will cause driveability complaints. Concern: Vehicle shifts 1-2-1-2 or 3-4-3-4 depending on speed. Common Cause: Transmission VSS and VSS connectors reversed. Repair: Connector with red and green wires is for the Transmission VSS. Connector with yellow and white wires is for the VSS.

No Reverse
In the transaxle case there is a sealing plug and two o-rings that seal the reverse passage between the valve body and the B1 piston housing. Concern: No reverse after overhaul or valve body removal. Common Cause: Only one o-ring installed under sealing plug. Repair: Install two o-rings under sealing plug.

K3 Clutch Drum
The 096 phase 0 and 1 transaxle built prior to 1994 use a K3 clutch drum and shaft assembly with three sealing rings on the shaft, one of the sealing rings is difficult to remove and install. When damage to the sealing ring, drum or sealing ring surface in the turbine shaft is present it is recommended that this assembly be changed. The 096 phase 2 and 01M transaxles relocated the third sealing ring to an accessible position.

Ammeter Electrical test device that measures current flow in a circuit. Displays measurement in amperes, or amps. Amperage Measurement of current flow in a circuit. Amperes; Amps Unit of measurement for reading current flow. Amperage is actually a reading of how many electrons are moving through a circuit at any given moment. One amp is the amount of current that one volt will push through one ohm of resistance. Analog Meter Measurement device that provides readings using a needle, instead of a digital output. Analog meters measure constantly, so the reading you see is the value taking place right now. But analog meters tend to be less accurate than digital meters, and the reading only updates as quickly as the needle can move. B+ Battery power. Closed Circuit A complete electrical path that provides the means for electricity to perform work. A closed circuit allows current to flow from its source, through the resistances, and back to its source. Computer Also controller; microprocessor. Device that provides the commands necessary to operate the engine or transmission, based on inputs from a series of sensors and switches. Controller See Computer. Conventional Electrical Theory Electrical circuit model which indicates

that electrical flow is from positive to negative. More recent studies show that electrons actually flow from negative to positive, but most texts still prefer to use the conventional model. Current Electron flow through a circuit, current is measured in amps. De-energize To turn off, or shut down a circuit or component. Digital On/off signal. A series of pulses that are either on or off, which provide information by varying frequency, or which control a circuit by varying frequency, duty cycle or ontime. Digital Multimeter Also DMM; DVOM; Digital Volt-Ohmmeter. Electrical device that provides measurements of electrical circuits, using a digital display. Digital meters and oscilloscopes read a circuit through sampling; how accurate your measurement is depends on how many samples the meter takes per second. Digital Volt-Ohmmeter See Digital Multimeter. Distributorless Ignition System Also Electronic Ignition. A type of ignition that doesnt use a distributor to provide spark to the cylinders. These systems usually provide spark through a process known as wastespark; a process which provides spark to two cylinders at once. One cylinder fires; the other receives spark on its exhaust stroke that cylinders spark is wasted. Ford uses this term to identify one of its electronic ignition system.

Diode An electrical one-way shutoff valve. A diode is a semiconductor, designed to allow current flow in one direction, but not in the other direction. These devices are commonly used to control the spark that develops when an electromagnetic coil de-energizes, and the magnetic field collapses. Duty Cycle A signal that varies its relationship between on-time and off-time. Duty cycle signals usually control a computer output device, such as an electronic pressure control solenoid: The longer the signal on-time, the longer the solenoid remains open, so the lower mainline pressure becomes. Electrostatic Discharge Electrical potential that releases suddenly; the shock you feel when you touch a doorknob on a dry day is electrostatic discharge. That shock can damage or destroy electronic components. Thats why its important to take precautions wear a static strap, never touch the terminals, etc. when working with electronic devices. Energize To turn on a circuit or component; provide with power and ground, to enable an electrical device to operate. Engine Control Module Also ECM. SAE J-1930 term for a device that controls only engine operation. See also PCM, TCM, Computer. Frequency The number of complete oscillations, or cycles, that occur each second. Measured in Hertz. Ground The return side of an electrical circuit, as defined by the conventional electrical theory. More recent studies show that electrons actually flow in the opposite direction of that shown by conventional theory, but its still the most common model for electrical circuits. Grounded Circuit An electrical circuit failure that keeps the circuit energized all the time, regardless of switch or relay position. Also known as a short-to-ground. Hertz Also Hz. Unit of measurement for frequency; the number of complete cycles that take place in one second. A signal that repeats itself 20 times every second has a frequency of 20 Hertz. High Impedance Having high resistance to electrical flow. Usually used to describe electrical meters. When used to test an electronic circuit, a low impedance meter would affect the characteristics of the circuit. The higher the meters impedance, the less effect it will have on the circuit, so the less change it will make to the circuit operation when connected. Intermittent Taking place in an irregular or unpredictable cycle. An intermittent problem or failure may happen one moment, then not be there the next. Thats why intermittent failures are often difficult to isolate. Light-Emitting Diode Also LED. A semiconductor that lights when energized, much like a light bulb. But, unlike a light bulb, an LED requires very little current, and that current flow must be in a specific direction, or the LED wont light.

Microprocessor See Computer. Ohm Unit of resistance measurement. It takes one volt to push one amp of current through one ohm resistance. Ohmmeter Electrical device for measuring resistance in a circuit or component. Ohms Law Principle that defines the relationship between pressure (voltage), flow (amperage) and resistance (ohms). Ohms x Amps = Volts; Volts Ohms = Amps; Volts Amps = Ohms. Open Circuit An incomplete electrical path that wont provide the means for electricity to perform work. An open circuit prevents current flow, so the circuit wont operate. Oscilloscope An electrical test device that maps voltage changes in a circuit over a specific amount of time. An oscilloscope displays the voltage signal as a picture, to show how voltage changes through the components operating cycle. Parallel Circuit An electrical circuit designed with multiple paths through the circuit, so that not all of the current must pass through all of the loads in the circuit. If one leg of a parallel circuit opens, it wont prevent the other legs from operating. Potentiometer A three-wire sensor that modifies a voltage signal based on movement or position. Potentiometers receive a regulated voltage signal to one end of a resistor, and ground to the other; a wiper slides along the resistor, and picks up the voltage signal, based on its position

along the resistor. Powertrain Control Module Also PCM. SAE J-1930 term for a computer that controls engine and transmission operation. A PCM may also control other systems, including cruise control, A/C system, antilock brakes, etc., but it must control engine and transmission to be called a PCM. See also ECM, TCM. Pulse Generator An AC generator that develops a frequency signal that varies with the rotational speed of an internal transmission component, such as a sun shell, turbine shaft or output ring gear. The computer uses this signal to measure the components RPM. From this, the computer can determine when to shift, when a shift is complete, or if a clutch is slipping. Pulse Width Modulated Also PWM. A signal that varies its relationship between on-time and off-time. Pulse width modulated signals usually control a computer output device, such as an electronic pressure control solenoid: The longer the signal on-time, the longer the solenoid remains open, so the lower mainline pressure becomes. See Duty Cycle. Relay An electrical device that allows a low current circuit to control a high current circuit. Energizing a relay energizes an electromagnet, which opens or closes a set of contacts, to provide power or ground to a circuit that would normally require too much current for the device controlling the circuit.

Resistance The ability of a circuit or device to reduce or limit current flow. Resistor A device that limits or reduces current flow in a circuit. Sensor A device that provides signals to the computer, based on engine or transmission operating conditions. The computer uses these signals to control engine operation more precisely. Serial Data A digital signal from the computer, to communication information with other computers or scan tools. Scan tools can provide the actual sensor readings the computer sees, and outputs from the computer, by interpreting serial data signals. Series Circuit An electrical circuit in which all of the loads are wired end to end, in such a way that forces all of the current passing through the circuit to travel through all of the loads. If one load in a series circuit opens, it will prevent the other loads from operating. Short Circuit An electrical circuit without the resistance necessary to operate properly. Because of this lost resistance, these circuits will often burn up, unless protected by a fuse or circuit breaker. Not to be confused with a grounded circuit. Shrink Tubing An insulating material that shrinks to seal a connection when you apply heat. Solenoid An electrical device that turns electrical signals into movement or work. Solenoids can control lever movement, such as throttle kickers, or can control vacuum or hydraulic flow. The solenoids youll most likely be dealing with open and close to control hydraulic flow, to allow the transmission to shift gears, control lockup, and control line pressure. Thermistor A semiconductor that varies resistance based on temperature. There are two types of thermistor: negative temperature coefficient (NTC) and positive temperature coefficient (PTC). The NTC thermistor is more common as the temperature goes up, its resistance goes down. Transistor A semiconductor that operates as an electronic relay. Transistors allow a low current circuit to control power or ground to a high current circuit. Variable Resistor A one- or two-wire sensor that modifies a voltage signal based on stress or temperature. Thermistors are the most common type of variable resistor in todays cars and trucks. Voltage The pressure in an electrical system, that pushes current through the circuit. One volt of pressure is necessary to push one amp of current through one ohm of resistance. Sometimes called the circuits potential. Voltmeter Electrical test device that measures the voltage potential in a circuit. Displays its reading in volts.

DTC P0122: TP Sensor Circuit Low Input


Some 1999-2001 W-body vehicles (Regal, Grand Prix, Monte Carlo/Impala and Intrigue) with a 3.8L engine have been showing up with code P0122 in memory. They may also exhibit these additional symptoms: Engine and transmission driveability problems DTC P0452 Fuel tank pressure sensor or circuit DTC P0462 Fuel level sensor or circuit DTC P1635 5-volt reference circuit

With the key on, engine off, check the 5-volt reference at the TPS. If theres no 5-volt reference, the problem may be the 5-volt reference wire is shorted to ground. The TP sensor shares its 5-volt reference circuit with several other components, including the fuel level sensor and the fuel tank pressure sensor. Look for this wiring to be pinched near the rear seat belt retaining stud. This chafes the wire, shorting it to ground.

All Applications
Ratio Error DTCs
All computers that are programmed to set ratio errors work off the same basic strategy and need to know at least three basic things. Input Speed: One way could be as simple as reading the engine RPM signal; another can be to read true input shaft speed, such as the 4T40E. Output Speed: Once again, this data can be received from a few different locations. One would be at the final drive, while another could be directly from the output shaft, such as the 4L60E. Calibration Knowledge: The computer must know how to calculate data from the input and output speed sensors, and it must also know the ratios that are being used by the year, make and model of the vehicle.

Inaccuracy in any of these three areas will cause false ratio errors to be set.

Two Basic Causes


Cause 1: Miscalculated Ratios
One way to determine if a ratio error is set due to a miscalculation is to operate the transmission with the drive wheels off the ground. Typically, if a ratio error is due to a miscalculation, it will set the code even when there is no load on the transmission. Possible causes: Incorrect PROM or calibration programming Wrong sprocket or final drive ratio (FWD only) Incorrect speed sensor reluctor tooth count Incorrect engine RPM reading EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) Incorrect PCM/TCM/VCM Faulty PCM/TCM/VCM

Cause 2: Component Slipping

Ratio Error DTCs (continued)


Leaking, damaged or worn stator support bushings (4L60E) This is generally caused by a hardening problem with turbine shaft. The turbine shaft or input housing may require replacement. (Very common) An updated stator support bushing is now being used with the 4L60E HD.

N O T IC E

TCC pressure regulator valve is side loading or sticking (all applications): This condition causes low TCC apply pressure. Valve body updates have been issued to try to repair this condition. In addition, several aftermarket manufacturers have valve body repair kits to address this problem. (Very common) Front bearing failure (input or turbine shaft support bearing; 4T60E, 4T65E): The manufacture of this bearing was changed to eliminate this problem. When the bearing fails the customer may also complain of a whining noise in park or neutral. The channel plate sleeve is often damaged, which will also require replacement. (Very common)

All Applications

Ratio Error DTCs (continued)


Cause 2: Component Slipping (continued)
A worn, sticking or damaged actuator feed limit valve or bore (all applications with a PCS): This valve provides the feed oil for the PCS, so it controls line pressure boost. Many times problems with this valve or its bore will also cause the vehicle to start in a gear other than 1st gear. Generally the customer complaint will be that the transmission bumps as the vehicle first starts to move. What the customer is actually feeling is the transmission downshifting during acceleration. (Very common)

Ratio Error DTCs (continued)


Cause 2: Component Slipping (continued)
Slipping or damaged clutches or bands: Refer to the clutch/band apply chart for the unit youre working on to determine which clutch or band could cause the problem. Some of the GM computers cant determine whats actually slipping; for example, is it the TCC or a clutch or band? (Very common) Faulty torque converter clutch Faulty or damaged TCC PWM solenoid wiring Faulty TCC PWM or TCC apply solenoid. Check whether an updated solenoid is available for the unit youre working on. Leaking turbine shaft O-ring or sealing rings Plugged or restricted TCC or AFL screens Sticking, worn or damaged TCC apply valve Sticking or damaged PCS Sticking or damaged pressure regulator valve Valve body, channel plate or case damage (warped, cracked, dented, etc.) Low solenoid current flow due to high resistance. Correct current flow for the shift solenoids and the TCC apply solenoid is generally around 0.51.0 amp, depending on solenoid resistance. Correct current flow for a TCC PWM solenoid is generally around 1.23.0 amps, depending on duty cycle. Low current flow indicates high resistance in the solenoid, its wiring, or its feed or control circuits.

4T40E

Harsh or Soft 32 Downshift


Depending on the configuration, these symptoms may be caused by a missing or mispositioned #6 checkball. As shown in the picture, the #6 checkball was moved from its original pocket (6a) to a different location in 1997, labeled 6b.

Harsh or Soft 3-2 Downshift (continued)


The casting wasnt changed so unless youre certain of the year, the best way to tell which location to use is to look at the separator plate. For the checkball to function properly, there must be two holes in the separator plate.

6b

6a
If your plate is set up for both locations (which many were) you can install a checkball in either position. But in 6a the ball controls the drain rate of the direct clutch; in 6b the ball controls the drain rate of the 23 accumulator. Because of this, the 32 shift feel will be different, depending on the location. A checkball in location 6a will result in a softer 32 downshift. A checkball in location 6b will result in a firmer 32 downshift.

4T40E

Hard Upshifts with Possible Trouble Codes


The vehicle comes in suffering from harsh upshifts, and may have the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on. In addition, a number of codes may be stored in memory. This is primarily on Cavaliers, Aleros, Sunfires, Malibus and Grand Ams. The most common codes are P0716 and P0717, which are turbine shaft speed sensorrelated. In most cases the problem is the transmission connector. What happens is the connector only gets latched on one side, creating bad connections on the opposite side. Depending on which pins have a bad connection, many intermittent diagnostic trouble codes will set. To correct this problem, make sure the connector isnt damaged, and reconnect it properly. Clear any codes in memory, road test the vehicle, and check for any new codes. Remember to perform a complete drive cycle to give codes a chance to set.

4T40E / 4T60E

Intermittent Surge or Loss of Power


After operating the vehicle at fairly high throttle, suddenly it begins losing power or surging. The TCC may begin cycling off and on, and the transmission may even begin hunting between 3rd and 4th gears. The problem remains evident until the throttle drops back to idle, or maybe even until the engines been shut off. The problem is restricted to 1998 N-body (Grand Am, Achieva, Skylark) and U-body (Transport, Lumina, Venture and Silhouette) vehicles equipped with a V6 engine. The problem usually traces back to part of the isolation tape (a heavy rubber tape used in the radiator core support area) losing its adhesion. The tape becomes loose, and the high air flow through the engine air intake pulls the end of the tape into the air intake. This restricts the flow of air going into the engine, and past the mass airflow sensor (MAF). The engine loses power due to the restriction, and the computer receives a low reading from the mass airflow sensor. The low reading indicates the engine is under less of a load, so the computer adjusts engine performance and gear ratio accordingly. Once you release the throttle or shut the engine off, the tape falls back out of the air intake, and the engine can run properly again until the next time the tape gets sucked into the air intake. Remove the loose piece of isolation tape.

4T60E

Hard Upshifts
Vehicles equipped with a 4T60E transaxle may experience harsh upshifts for one or more of these reasons: A sticking accumulator valve Clean and inspect the valve body. A sticking accumulator piston Scotchbrite the bore and use a factory quality seal.

In addition, a missing, loose or mispositioned accumulator sleeve retainer will cause the sleeve to become misaligned with the valve body ports. The bushing retainer was changed at the start of production for 1993. The 93-and-later retainer wont interchange with earlier models. The picture shows the two applications.
IM P O R T A N T

All 4.9L and some 3.1L applications have a specific, unique 12 accumulator valve-and-spring line up, different from other 4T60E applications. Never assume that these applications have a harsh shift due to misassembly. The service manual may show the incorrect assembly for these applications. The picture shows the correct assembly for these applications.

4T65E

Moan after TCC Apply


Some 4T65Es may exhibit a moan or growl after TCC applies. The noise is generally worse at lower road speeds, just as TCC applies. Overriding TCC by stepping on the brake will usually eliminate the noise. The problem is that a specific harmonic frequency is set up in the cooler line when TCC applies. The harmonic is transferred through the cooler lines and into the vehicle body. Many manufacturers correct this type of problem by providing tuned cooler lines. Check with your local dealer to see if updated cooler lines are available for your particular application. If an updated line isnt available, install the updated cooler line retaining bracket, #25714015. This bracket mounts to a support bar just behind the passenger-side cooling fan.

Speedometer Reads MPH/KPH at a Stop


A number of 1997-98 G, C, H and W bodies (Riviera, Aurora, Park Ave, Lumina, Monte Carlo, Regal, Grand Prix) have been showing up with the speedometer showing the vehicle is moving while its fully stopped. This is usually due to EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) being induced into the VSS wiring. The problem is that the VSS wires are routed too close to high voltage or high current wires. Probable sources: Fuel injector wiring PCS (Pressure Control Solenoid) 4T65E only. Secondary ignition wires (spark plug and coil wires). Charging system. Try disabling the alternator and retest.

To correct this problem, reroute the VSS wires to the computer. Move them away from any source of interference.

4T65E

Slip or .lare During 12 or 34 Upshift


19992001 vehicles with a 4T65E transaxle may exhibit a slip or flare on the 12 shift. This usually occurs during cold temperatures and disappears after the transmission reaches operating temperature. It may also slip or flare on the 23 upshift. The 12 shift solenoid ball and seat may distort with changing fluid temperature, causing a leak when the solenoid is supposed to be closed. To correct this problem, replace the solenoid with an updated one, part number 24219819.

Engine Surges or Chuggles When TCC Applies


Many 19961997 C, K and G trucks and vans have been experiencing a surge or chuggle, especially when the converter clutch is applied. Heres a list of the possible causes for this problem: Driving conditions: Wind, rough roads; speak with the customer about other possible adverse driving conditions; verify the complaint. Drive train: Inspect the tires for abnormal wear patterns, check driveshaft, wheel bearings, ball joints, bushings and other drive train components for wear. TCC apply: Use a scan tool to check for excessive converter slippage. Does the converter clutch have a smooth apply? Engine accessories: Check all belt-driven components. Turn off A/C heater system to eliminate the A/C clutch cycling from being a possible cause. Engine: Check for vibrations caused by out-of-balance components, such as the flywheel, harmonic balancer, bent pulleys, etc. Monitor engine misfire counters with a scan tool. Ignition or fuel problems can cause engine surges or misfires that are amplified when the TCC applies. Engine Calibration: Use a scan tool to make sure the latest engine calibration software has been installed.

Revised Calibrations: If none of the conditions listed are present, and the engine calibration is the latest version, you may need to install the latest transmission calibrations. Check with your local dealership for the latest calibration.

Updates for 2000


34 Clutch Backing Plate

New TCC PWM Solenoid
The TCC PWM solenoid was updated in 2000. This solenoid will retrofit to all units using a PWM TCC. You can identify this solenoid by its gray connector, and its snout is now molded plastic instead of steel. The reason for the update was to reduce the possibility of valve body bore wear.

Updated Valve Body
Currently the most common 4L60E diagnostic trouble code is P1870 Converter Clutch Slip. To correct this problem, GM has redesigned the TCC pressure regulator valve, isolator valve and spring. The valve lands are now longer to improve the support of the valve in the bore and to help reduce side-loading.

Pump Interchange
The non-PWM (pulse width modulated) pumps that were used only in the 93 to 94 model 4L60E are almost identical to the earlier 4L60 pumps. The main differences are the 4L60E pump stators dont have the D2 boost circuit drilled, and the bore for the filter is larger. In fact, because the non-PWM pumps are becoming increasingly harder to find, some parts remanufacturers have been machining the filter bores of 4L60 stators to meet the demands. This works, if done properly, but there are a few more things you will need to do:

Does this sound like a can of worms just to replace a pump? Actually, the only reason were covering this is in case you receive a rebuilt pump that was converted from a 4L60. We want you to know it can work, and show you what to check to make sure it will work. There is a much easier way to replace a bad pump in a non-PWM 4L60E: When GM introduced the PWM lockup system in 1995, the pump body and stator castings were redesigned. But you can use a complete PWM pump assembly in the 93 and 94 non-PWM transmissions without any modification. The difference between the PWM and non-PWM pumps is that converter charge now feeds directly from mainline, which is the same thing that happens when a technician grinds the center land of the pressure regulator valve for the commonly-used line-to-lube modification.

Never try to mix the halves from a PWM and a non-PWM assembly. A complete PWM pump assembly will work in a non-PWM transmission. But a nonPWM pump wont work in a PWM transmission.

You can interchange these valve bodies with the earlier, non-PWM valve bodies as long as you swap the valves assembly and separator plate, and add the PWM solenoid.

Valve Body Changes (continued)


In 1996, GM modified the 32 control valve; its now a switch valve, and uses a 1924 ohm, on/off solenoid, rather than a 9 14 ohm PWM solenoid. These valve bodies also use a vented manual valve bore. This provides a vent for the low/reverse clutch circuit while in the D4 range. Earlier, nonvented valve bodies trapped this circuit any foreign oil in the circuit could apply the low/reverse clutch. You cant benefit from this new vent by installing the manual valve on earlier valve bodies. The valve will work, but no differently than earlier valves. If you use an earlier manual valve on vented valve bodies,

youll lose all line pressure through the vent when the shifter is in park. The separator plate for 1996-and-later valve bodies is different than both earlier plates.

The UBEC consists of several PC boards which connect a number of circuits, including the ignition switch to the transmission. When the UBEC fails youll lose power to the transmission, resulting in failsafe or transmission solenoid codes. Unfortunately, you cant repair the UBEC like you could the earlier bulkhead connector.

On VCM applications, if a code sets for only one or two solenoids or circuits, inspect the weatherpack seal at the VCM. You may find the seal is mispositioned, allowing water into the VCM connector. This may cause severe corrosion, which can degrade solenoid performance and cause codes to set. If corrosion is present, the VCM and the female terminals may require replacement. The ignition switch is also a common source of any or all of these problems. This holds true for the redesigned, 3-contact ignition switches used on the S-10s. To isolate this as a possible source of the problem, monitor pin voltage on circuit 1020 when the condition occurs. If the voltage drops below battery voltage, inspect the pins listed or the ignition switch for possible problems. If you find an open in the UBEC, youll have to replace it, as it is cant be disassembled and reassembled effectively.

Delayed Engagements; Low .luid Level


Some 4x4s with the 4L60E or 4L80E may experience delayed engagements, caused by low fluid level in the transmission. This could be due to external leaks, but in some cases may be caused by a leak in the seal that separates the transmission from the transfer case. If you dont see any signs of major external leaks, check the transfer case fluid level: If its high, the input shaft seal is probably the culprit. Possible Causes: External leaks Damaged or improperly manufactured transfer housing input shaft seal: Check transfer case fluid level: If level is high, inspect the transfer case input shaft seal.

To correct the problem, examine the transfer housing input gear and bearing carefully. Replace any part thats worn or damaged. Then replace the input shaft seal with part number 14095609. Remember to drain the transfer case, and refill with the proper fluid.

Vehicles equipped with a 4L80E transmissions and diesel engines (mostly 6.5L models) may experience a harsh shift complaint. This may be accompanied by code 63 in memory. The problem could be the vehicle has the wrong (or a faulty) BARO/boost sensor. Diesel applications use a BARO/boost sensor to determine altitude. Gasoline applications use a MAP sensor to determine manifold pressure. Although these sensors look identical, theyre calibrated differently.

Surge While Towing; 19961999 7.4L


A number of 199699 trucks with the 7.4L engine have been showing up with a surge while towing. Here are the symptoms you can expect: Vehicle surges only when pulling a trailer. How bad a surge varies based on vehicle speed, trailer weight, condition and type of suspension, and the trailer hitch location and configuration. Surge tends to reduce significantly or go away when the TCC releases.

To diagnose this problem: Monitor the MAP, MAF and TPS values with a scan tool while the problem is occurring. Look for fluctuations at steady throttle. If the MAP, MAF and TPS signals fluctuate under steady throttle, check for fuel- or emission-related problems such as EGR, fuel pressure, faulty or dirty injectors, and ignition problems. Monitor TCC slip and gear ratios. Inspect the trailer suspension and hitch for possible problems. Consider relocating the load in the trailer or relocating the position of the hitch (5th wheel applications).

If all other possibilities check out okay, a new calibration is available to change the TCC lockup speed. This will greatly reduce the surge. Use a scan tool to identify the current calibration and the chart below to select the proper calibration update.

Allison LCT 1000

Normal Operating Conditions


The Allison LCT 1000 appears in GM heavy duty applications equipped with 8.1L gas and 6.6L Duramax diesel engines. Several conditions may be misdiagnosed as problems when in fact they are actually normal conditions, according to GM and Allison. Never attempt to repair any of these customer complaints: A clunk when shifting the transmission from reverse to park. This noise is simply the parking pawl engaging the park gear. A clunk or clicking noise in park during startup. This noise has been identified as hydraulic valve train movement or staging in anticipation of operation. A clunk when shifting from park while parked on a hill; a condition common to several transmissions. A light whine or humming noise when the vehicle is stopped with the engine idling. This is considered normal by Allison for the type of pump design they are using. A whining noise when the vehicle is moving. This is a typical planetary noise and is considered normal for the three-planetary design that Allison is using. The whine is most noticeable in 1st and 2nd gears. Shifts which arent driver initiated are a common complaint. The TCM that Allison uses has the ability to command upshifts, downshifts and TCC apply or release without any input from the customer. The customer may notice that during deceleration, engine braking may occur while going down a grade. In addition, the customer may notice the transmission shifting even though they are decelerating down a hill or traveling in hilly terrain. Some customers may comment on the firm shifts the LCT 1000 provides. The LCT 1000 uses a clutch-to-clutch shift, so youll feel a distinct firmness regarding both upshifts and downshifts.

GM uses the LCT 1000 in heavy duty applications only. This transmission is designed to withstand heavy use, so harsh shifts and certain noises are considered normal.

Some of the vehicles may exhibit poor driveability; others will seem to operate just fine. In either case, the MIL may be lit. To repair the code, youll need to remove the device and retest the vehicle for codes. If the problem doesnt return, the customer can then decide to leave it off, or return the vehicle to the person who originally installed device.

Extension Housing Leaks
A number of 19982000 Rangers equipped with the 3.0L engine have been showing up with extension housing leaks. A further inspection reveals that the bushing has seized onto the driveshaft yoke, and spun in the housing. One likely cause of this problem is the computer programming: These computers originally allowed the vehicle to reach speeds in excess of 95 MPH. The driveshaft yoke seizes in the bushing due to lack of lube at these speeds, which causes it to spin in the tail housing. To correct the leak, replace the tail housing with part # F77Z-7A039-CA, and install an updated driveshaft. To correct the actual source of the failure, have the processor reprogrammed to prevent the vehicle from reaching such high speeds.

No Movement after Rebuild; Valve Body, Converter or Internal Problem


Whenever youre facing a unit that wont move after a rebuild, the first question is whether the problem is caused by the valve body, converter or an internal transmission problem. The first step in this type of diagnosis is to monitor the signal from the input speed sensor with the transmission in gear and the drive wheels stopped. If you have a signal, the input shaft is turning, so the converter must be transmitting power: The problem has to be either in the valve body, or caused by an internal problem. If theres no signal from the input speed sensor, the input shaft probably isnt turning. That means the problem is either in the valve body or converter; thats the problem well discuss here.

AX4N / AX4S

No Movement after Rebuild (continued)


Converter or Control Problem?
Remove the cooler lines and start the engine. If cooler flow is good, the converter is full of oil. That means the valve body is doing its job, providing the oil necessary for the converter. So that solves the problem: The converter is the culprit. If you get little or no cooler flow it means theres no converter charge. This can be caused by a pump volume problem or a sticking converter regulator valve.

Pump Volume Problem?


If the pump volume is unable to meet the demands of the pressure regulator valve, the mainline regulator valve will cut off converter charge to maintain as much pump volume as possible. Check mainline and EPC pressures.

Passenger Side Axle Seal Wear, Noise or Vibration


A number of 1995-96 Contours and Mystiques have been showing up with a noise or vibration when moving. An inspection usually reveals excessive wear on the passenger side axle seal. A likely source of the problem is if the wrong bolt holes were used to mount the intermediate axle shaft bracket.

Differential Disassembly and Setup


In 1993, Chrysler introduced the 42LE in their Concord, Intrepid, and Vision models. In 1994 they added the New Yorker and LHS to the list. Today the 42LE is becoming popular as a rebuild prospect, and with it come certain procedures that are critical for a successful rebuild. One of the most critical procedures is setting up the differential, pinion shaft, and output shaft. The output shaft is simple; its very similar to the 41TE. The pinion is similar to the 41TE, but because its a helical-type arrangement you sometimes have to consider pinion depth. Finally, the differential; this is very similar to setting up the differential in a rear-wheel drive vehicle. Output shaft preload, pinion preload, and differential preload and backlash are procedures youll need to follow for every rebuild; well cover them later. Setting pinion depth isnt necessary during most rebuilds. But sometimes youll be faced with serious damage that requires replacement of the pinion bearings, or worse yet, replacement of the entire ring and pinion assembly. In either case, you must reset pinion depth. You must reset pinion depth anytime you replace the pinion shaft or pinion bearings. And youll need some special tools to set the pinion depth. Some of the tools are common, such as a dial indicator, bearing splitter, and miscellaneous hardware; you should already have these tools on hand. But there are a few tools that are especially made just for this process; youll need them as well. The picture shows all of the specialty tools well use for setting up the geartrain on this unit. Included are tools well use for setting the pinion depth, as well as all the procedures for adjusting preload and backlash.

The output shaft pops right out through the case, usually requiring little more than a few good taps with a soft mallet to slide the shaft through the bearing. Locate and save the small selective metal shim from under the rear output shaft bearing.

The pinion shaft isnt quite as cooperative. Tap (or pound, if required) the pinion shaft toward the case to pop the rear bearing off the shaft.

But the rear bearing outer race still in the case prevents you from tilting the pinion shaft enough to remove it from the case. For this youll need the bearing-race-removal tool (6577). This is a must-have tool; the race is almost impossible to remove without it. Heres how it works:

The bearing race bores in the case may have a layer of oxidation. This will cause an excessively tight fit when installing new bearing races. Its a good idea to lightly sand the case bores of any bearing races that you removed.

Interpreting Your Reading


Since different types of indicators use different types of scales, which can involve different ways of interpreting readings, its easy to get confused when trying to figure out your actual measurement. Were going to try to make this a bit easier for you. Most dial indicators rotate clockwise when you push the indicator peg toward the dial. If yours does, youre looking for how many thousandths of an inch counterclockwise your needle is from zero.

Setting Pinion Depth (continued)
If your indicator rotates counterclockwise when you push it, count the thousandths clockwise from zero to the measurement. The indicator used in our example rotates clockwise.

Although the indicator needle is pointing to 0.060" on the dial, were going to ignore that and count counterclockwise from zero, arriving at a measurement of 0.040". One clue: Your measurement must be somewhere within the 0.023"0.047" range. If your reading is substantially different, then either youre measuring improperly; interpreting your measurements wrong; or the pinion shaft front bearing, race or gauge disk is out of position. Check the bearing race; it may not be pressed all the way into its bore. To select the proper pinion depth shim, youll need two things: 1. The measurement value from your dial indicator reading, and 2. The pinion adjustment factor, which youll add to or subtract from your measurement, to give you the required shim size.

Setting Pinion Depth (continued)
The pinion adjustment factor is the number painted on the pinion shaft, with either a plus or a minus sign in front of it. If your shaft doesnt have a number on it, the factor is zero. Ready for some twisted logic?

If the adjustment factor number on the shaft has a minus in front of it, add that number to your measurement to determine the shim size. If the shaft number has a plus, subtract that number from your measurement to determine the shim size.

The shaft used has a minus 3 printed on it, so we add 0.003" to the reading of 0.040", for a required shim size of 0.043". There are 17 shims to choose from, in increments of about 0.001", from 0.027" to 0.045". Once youve installed the correct shim on the pinion shaft and pressed the bearing into place, youre done with pinion depth.

Install the O-ring and seal onto the inner differential adjuster ring. Support the outside diameter of the inner adjuster while pressing the seal in, and only drive the seal in flush. Its easy to break the center out of the adjuster if you drive the seal too far into its bore.
C A U T IO N

Lube the O-ring and adjuster threads with gear lube, and then install the adjuster into the case using special tool (6502C) until its just flush with the differential side of the case.

Lube the differential bearings with gear lube, then place the differential carrier into the case.

Check the cover and case mating surfaces for damage on the contact area. Repair any damage that would keep the cover from lying flat on the case. Install the differential cover without any sealer, and tighten the bolts to 20 ft-lbs.

Install the O-ring on the outer adjuster, but dont install the seal yet. Lube the O-ring and adjuster threads with gear lube. Install the outer adjuster into the case, being careful not to damage the O-ring as it enters the bore. You may want to use the side of a pick tip to help feed the ring into the bore. Use an inch-pound torque wrench with special tool 6503 to tighten the outer adjuster until you start to feel a bit of preload on the differential bearings. Using the torque wrench will make sense in just a moment.

Now youll set the turning torque for the differential. This is a bit tricky so follow closely: Use tool 6548, with a long extension and an inch-pound torque wrench, to measure the differential turning torque.

The proper turning torque for the differential carrier is: 19 to 23 inch-pounds for new bearings. 6 to 10 inch-pounds for used bearings.

Remember, youre checking for turning torque; in other words, the torque required to keep the differential turning, not starting torque, which is the torque required to start the differential turning. While youre measuring the turning torque, tighten (or loosen) the outer adjuster to change the amount of turning torque.

Differential Preload (continued)
Keep in mind that youre using an inch-pound torque wrench on the outer adjustment tool (6503). What youre doing is measuring how much torque it takes to tighten the outer adjuster to achieve the proper differential turning torque usually requiring about 125150 in-lbs of torque on the outer adjuster ring. Heres why youre checking this torque: After you install the pinion shaft, you wont be able to measure the differential turning torque by itself, because the differential and pinion shaft will be engaged. But now we know how much adjuster torque is needed to achieve the correct differential turning torque! Youll use the torque applied to the outer adjuster to get back to the right differential turning torque, even though the pinion shaft is installed and engaged with the differential. Once youve recorded the adjuster torque needed to achieve the correct differential turning torque, remove the outer adjuster from the differential cover. Then remove the differential cover and differential. Theres no reason to remove the inner adjuster, so just leave it in the case.

Set the pinion shaft into the case, and hold it in place with the support fixture tool (6595). Or you can use a substitute that will load the shaft against the front pinion bearing race firmly enough during seal installation.

Slide the seal protector tool (6592) onto the pinion shaft so you dont damage the seals. Install the two pinion shaft seals one at a time using the special driver tool (6567A), which also controls the crucial seal installation depth.

Drive the rear pinion shaft bearing race into the case bore, making sure it goes all the way down against the shoulder in the bore. Place the rear pinion bearing onto the shaft, then start a new pinion shaft nut on the shaft threads. Never beat on the bearing; the shaft is still being held by the support fixture at the other end of the shaft. You can use the nut to press the bearing into position on the shaft.

To tighten the pinion shaft nut, youll need the same two special tools used to remove it: the socket for turning the shaft (with a torque wrench this time), and the holding wrench for the nut.

The torque for the nut is 200 ft-lbs, and the turning torque for the pinion shaft is 1 to 8 inch-pounds. Measure the turning torque repeatedly as you tighten the nut. If you exceed the turning torque specification without reaching the tightening torque of the nut, stop and install a thicker selective washer. If you reach the 200 ft-lbs and have endplay on the shaft, youll need a thinner selective washer.

One you achieve both the proper turning torque and tightening torque, stake the nut so it wont back off. Chrysler has a special tool (6589) that makes staking the nut easy.

Differential Backlash
To set differential backlash: Place the differential into the case. Clean and dry the differential side cover and case mating surface. Apply a thin bead of silicone to the side cover and install it onto the case. Tighten all the cover bolts to 20 ft-lbs. Tighten the outer adjuster until you get to the specification you recorded earlier. Remember, you cant check the turning torque of the differential, so you must tighten the adjuster to the specification you found earlier; this should provide the correct differential turning torque.

Differential Backlash (continued)
Okay, once again the next part gets a bit tricky, so follow closely. You must now set the differential backlash: Place a dial indicator through the access hole, with the tip of the indicator resting on the side of one of the differential ring gear teeth.

Reach into the access hole and move the differential ring gear back and forth while you check the indicator. Make sure the pinion shaft doesnt move while youre checking the backlash.

The proper backlash is 0.0045" to 0.0105". If the backlash is incorrect, move the differential carrier closer to, or away from, the pinion shaft. To move the carrier toward the pinion, turn the inner adjuster away from the carrier a small amount, then turn the outer adjuster toward the carrier the exact same amount, until you reach the proper adjuster torque. Check the backlash again. Moving the carrier closer to the pinion shaft reduces backlash. Moving the carrier away from the shaft increases the backlash.

Differential Backlash (continued)
Its a pretty weird tool setup, so it may take some practice to get reliable readings. Once you have the backlash correct, recheck the tightening torque of the outer adjuster.

Remember, as youre adjusting the differential backlash, youre changing the turning torque on the differential, because youre moving the adjusters. Once you have both the backlash and adjuster torque set properly, youre finished with this part of the setup procedure: Secure the adjusters with the adjuster clamps. Install the stub shaft seal protector over the differential stub shaft and install the seal into the outer adjuster.

The next part of the process is setting up the output shaft. You must set the turning torque of the output shaft, just as you did the pinion shaft. The procedure for setting the output shaft turning torque is exactly the same as it was for the pinion shaft. You use the same tools, the turning torque is the same, and you measure it the same way. And since the procedure is virtually identical, refer to the pinion shaft preload section for this procedure.

Sprockets and Chain
The output sprocket uses a selective shim under it to raise or lower the output sprocket to align the two sprockets.

To set up and install the sprockets and chain: Place the shim that came with the unit on the output shaft. Place the sprockets on their shafts, without the chain in place. Place a straightedge across the sprockets. Carefully press on the straightedge, first over one sprocket, then the other.

The sprockets may be perfectly aligned, but its doubtful. Youll most likely find that when you press the straightedge over one sprocket, theres clearance between the other sprocket and the straightedge. If so, measure this clearance with a feeler gauge. You want less than 0.015" clearance between the sprocket and straightedge.

If the clearance is more than 0.015", replace the selective washer under the output sprocket with a different thickness washer, until you get the right clearance. Once you have the sprockets aligned, its time to install the chain: Place the chain on the sprockets. Use the special chain sprocket-spreading tool (6550) to spread the sprockets apart; tightening the chain and place this assembly on the shafts.

Loosen the tool while you turn the two shafts. Once the splines of the sprockets and shafts line up, the sprockets and chain will slide right down onto the shafts.

.ront Clutch .ailure
Make sure you inspect the seal surface of the front clutch carefully during every rebuild. Some front clutch drums werent finished properly, so they wear out the piston seal. If the seal surface isnt smooth all the way around, replace the front clutch drum. And make sure the inner seal isnt recessed too deeply into the seal groove. Some drums have seal grooves that are cut too deep, which prevents the seal from making adequate contact with the piston.

Check the seal surface indicated: If they arent smooth all the way around, replace the drum.


And make sure the seal protrudes slightly.

The Transmission Control Module (TCM) is the brain of the electronic control system and relies on information from various direct and indirect inputs (sensors, switches, etc.) to determine driver demand and vehicle operating conditions. With this information, the TCM can calculate performance in a timely manner, to optimize the shifts. Various output or control devices are used to achieve this, such as the solenoid pack, transmission control relay, etc.

Torque Converter Lockup
The lockup torque converter has four different working modes: No EMCC (Electronic Modulated Converter Clutch): When the L/R solenoid is off, theres no EMCC. Several conditions can cause this, such as a failure in the transmission or the TCM simply determines that, because of the load, it isnt needed. This may be normal. Partial EMCC: The L/R solenoid is modulated (duty cycled) to obtain partial lockup. The TCM maintains partial EMCC until conditions are right for it to switch to full lockup. During partial EMCC, some slip occurs. Partial EMCC usually takes place at lower road speeds, low load and light throttle. Full EMCC: The TCM increases the L/R solenoid duty cycle to 100% (full on) only after partial EMCC. The TCM brings the transmission input speed within the desired slip range of the engine speed, relative to engine RPM. Gradual-to-no EMCC: This is to soften the change from full or partial EMCC to no EMCC. This occurs at mid-throttle. The TCM decreases the duty cycle on the L/R solenoid to achieve this.

To determine how to control lockup, the TCM uses coolant temperature, engine RPM, vehicle speed, throttle position, and manifold vacuum. The TCC can be engaged in third gear while in D range, and in fourth gear in OD range, depending on the position of the overdrive control switch.

Pressure Testing
There are only three pressure tests you can perform from the outside of the 45RFE: T/C off (converter released), T/C on (converter applied), and line pressure, which requires a special adapter. This adapter allows you to check the integrity of the pressure transducer, as well as the working line pressure at idle. Compare the pressure reading on your scan tool to the gauge reading to determine whether the transducer is sending the correct signal to the TCM. Its possible to check all of the clutch circuits by using a special oil pan that lets you hook into virtually every circuit in the transmission. This pan must be used when checking oil pressures. The 45RFE uses closed loop control of the line pressure, so the pressure readings may very greatly, but should always follow line pressure. The pressure specs are: Upshift/downshift pressure for all shifts except the 34, 43 and 42 prime is 120 PSI. Upshift/downshift pressure for the 34, 43, and 42 prime is 100 PSI. Garage shift pressure for NR is 220 PSI. Garage shift pressure for RN and N1 is 120 PSI.

Soft Shifts, Burnt Clutches and Bands, Poor Line Pressure


It isnt uncommon for electronically-controlled Nissan transmissions to have problems with line pressure. Whether its low mainline at idle, not enough line rise, or no line rise at all, the result will be soft shifts or burnt clutches and bands. Its a good idea to check pressures before any work is performed on the vehicle. But its absolutely necessary to check pressures when you reinstall the unit, even if it seems to work great. Most of these transmissions dont have a true line pressure tap. Instead, you can check line pressure by checking the forward clutch pressure when the units in D, S and L, and reverse clutch pressure when its in reverse. But remember, if forward clutch pressure is 20 PSI at idle, it could be a mainline pressure problem or it could be a leak in the forward clutch circuit. The point is, dont assume theres a problem with mainline pressure just because forward clutch pressure is low.

The most common reason for no line rise in Nissan transmissions with electronic pressure control is a bad line pressure control solenoid. The only way to purchase one of these solenoids separately is to order one for the RE4R01A, part # 31940-41X01. All Nissan line pressure control solenoids are the same, except for the bracket and wiring. The bracket is held on to the solenoid by a snap ring. To use this solenoid on other units, simply use the original connector and bracket from the unit youre working on, and splice the wires to the original connector.

Low Pressure at Idle
The RE4F02A has a unique way of controlling the pump slide. The job of the mainline regulator valve is to control pressure by dumping pump volume when mainline pressure is too high. When the mainline pressure is too high, the valve moves toward the spring and opens a passage that sends the excess oil through the converter relief valve to the converter. If this isnt enough to regulate mainline pressure, the valve moves farther toward the spring, sending pressure to the control cylinder. The control cylinder pushes the pump slide to lower the output volume.

Low Pressure at Idle (continued)


The problem occurs when the area where the pump slide contacts the pump is either worn or machined wrong. When this happens, the first time the control cylinder moves the slide, the slide sticks hydraulically in a low volume position. This will cause low line pressure at idle.

Preliminary Check
To enable Nissans to display any diagnostic trouble codes stored in memory, you have to run through a specific procedure. This puts the system into the mode to display diagnostic trouble codes. Before you can begin the code procedure, you must first run through a preliminary check, to prepare the vehicle for self-diagnosis, and to make sure the lights are working properly. Heres how to prepare the system to deliver codes. Step 1: Bring the engine to normal operating temperature. Step 2: Turn the key off. Step 3: Set the parking brake. Step 4: Turn the key on, engine off. Now youre ready to check the display light, to make sure its capable of working. This applies to all vehicles except the Q45. This procedure depends on what type of light and switches the vehicle uses: Step 1: Put the switch in the proper position: If the vehicle has an O/D Off button, work the button to make sure the O/D Off light comes on. Then work the button again to turn the light off. If the vehicle has a Mode button, work the button to make sure the Power or Power Shift light comes on. Then work the button again to turn the light off. Step 2: Turn the key off, and wait a few seconds. Step 3: Turn the key on, engine off. The indicator light on the dash should come on for a few second, then turn off. This is to check the light circuit, to make sure its capable of indicating codes. If the light doesnt come on now, check the light circuits operation before continuing the test procedure. Step 4: Turn the key off. Step 5: Move the shifter to D. Step 6: Turn the O/D Off switch off. Now youre ready to begin the specific procedure to retrieve codes. The procedure depends on which vehicle youre working on.

Code 1: Revolution Sensor
About the Sensor
The revolution sensor produces an AC signal that increases in voltage and frequency as output shaft speed increases. Typical voltage is about 0.5 VAC at a slow vehicle speed and can go as high as 1520 VAC in some cases. The sensor uses two wires, but the connector has three terminal cavities: terminal 3 is the ground wire for a shielded housing.

While the computer uses the frequency to calculate vehicle speed, it wont recognize the signal if the voltage is below about 0.5 VAC. This is called the threshold voltage.

If the resistance is out of range, the sensor is bad. But even if the resistance is within specs, the sensor could still create insufficient voltage or a variation in frequency. Thats why you should always check sensor output too.

Code 2: VSS (continued)
VSS Signal to the Computer
While the VSS creates its own AC signal, the computer never actually receives that signal. Instead, the combination meter (speedometer) takes the AC signal, and creates a digital, 5-volt DC signal that varies in frequency; as the vehicle speed increases, the signal frequency increases with it. This is the signal that the TCM receives.

Testing the Vehicle Speed Sensor (continued)

Testing the DC Signal


To check the DC signal at the TCM, youll need a digital meter that reads DC frequency or an oscilloscope. Use the pin charts to find the VSS signal wire at the computer. Backprobe the VSS signal wire with your meter or scopes positive lead. Connect the negative lead to the computer signal ground. Rotate the drive wheels.

The signal from the speedometer should switch from zero to 5 volts. As you increase the wheel speed, the signal speed or frequency of the pulses should increase. On a meter, the signal voltage will average out to about 2.5 volts. The frequency of the signal should continue to increase with wheel speed. If the signal isnt correct, check these three items before condemning the speedometer: Make sure the VSS signal to the speedometer is correct. Make sure you have a good 5-volt reference signal to the speedometer. Make sure you have a good ground to the speedometer.

If these three items check out okay, the speedometer is probably the source of the problem.

Code 3: TPS (Throttle Position Sensor)
About the Sensor
The TPS provides a varying voltage signal to the computer. Inside the TPS are two additional switches: the idle switch and the full throttle switch. These switches supply the computer with a 12-volt signal, one at idle and the other at full throttle. But failure of the idle /full throttle switches will not set a code #3. The function and connector view is provided to avoid confusion while testing the TPS. The TPS signal travels through the short harness attached to the side of the TPS; the idle/full throttle signals use the connector molded to the TPS housing.

Code 3: TPS (continued)
Testing the TPS at the Computer
Testing the TPS signal return voltage at the TCM is a valid test. Knowing that the return circuit is typically wired to the ECM first, and then is an output to the TCM can shorten diagnostic time. The circuit pin numbers and locations vary between vehicles at the computers. Check the signal output from the ECM. If the signal is incorrect, splice in a new wire from the input at the PCM to the input at the TCM.

Nissan Trouble Code Diagnosis Solenoid Codes


About the Solenoids
All but one Nissan transmission use five solenoids: two shift solenoids, an overrun solenoid to control engine braking, a lockup solenoid, and a line pressure control solenoid.The R4AEL in a Mazda 929 uses a 6th solenoid together with a lockup PWM; this is an on-off solenoid. The chart indicates the code that each solenoid will set, and the specs for testing that solenoid.
Transmission Solenoid Specifications Solenoid A B Overrun Clutch Lockup Line Pressure Control R4AEL Lockup Control Normally Open Open Open Closed (PWM) Closed (PWM) Open Resistance 2030 2030 2030 2.55.0 2.55.0 2030 Current @ 13.0 VDC 0.430.65 amps 0.430.65 amps 0.430.65 amps Varies with Duty Cycle Varies with Duty Cycle 0.430.65 amps C ode 4 5 6 7 10

Conditions to Set Code


As soon as the ignition turns on, the computer begins monitoring current flow through each of the solenoid circuits. The computer will identify a solenoid problem if the current is either too high or too low.

Solenoid Diagnostic Tips


Solenoid codes are easy to fix as long as you keep in mind that only one or more of the following items can cause a solenoid code to set: Battery Voltage: Battery voltage directly affects current flow throughout all electrical circuits, including the solenoids. The system must maintain between 12.6 to 15.0 volts at all times. Insufficient Ground: Make sure the transmission case is well grounded. Poor Connections and Bad Wiring: Inspect the connectors first. If theyre good, consider replacing the wire in question, from the computer to the solenoid.

Solenoid Codes (continued)
Solenoid Diagnostic Tips (continued)
Bad Shift Solenoids: Shift solenoids dont go bad electrically that often. But if you suspect a bad solenoid, try connecting some known good solenoids to the harness, outside of the case, before pulling the pan. Bad Computer: Before replacing the computer, try connecting a solenoid directly to the computer. Try to get as close to the computer connector as possible, cut the wire near the computer connector, and connect it directly to the known good solenoid (refer to pin chart).

Code 8: .luid Temperature Sensor Out of Range About the Sensor
The fluid temperature sensor is a thermistor; a variable resistor that changes resistance based on temperature. The fluid temperature sensor is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor; that is, its resistance decreases as temperature increases. The computer supplies a 5-volt reference to the sensor. When the sensor is cold, its resistance is high, so the signal voltage will be high. As the temperature increases, the resistance through the sensor to ground decreases, so the voltage also decreases.
Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor Specifications Fluid Temperature F 68 176 C 20 80 Resistance 2.5 k 0.3 k Voltage 1.56 V 0.45 V

Conditions to Set Code


The computer must read a signal that is out of range (open or shorted signal).

Code 8: .luid Temperature Sensor (continued) Testing the .luid Temperature Sensor
The best way to test the fluid temperature sensor operation is to start when the system is cold, and then continue to monitor it as the system warms up. Heres how to check the sensor signal: Backprobe the fluid temperature sensor wire with the positive lead from your scope or digital meter. Connect the negative lead to a good ground. Start the engine, and check the signal. It should be high, depending upon the temperature outside.

Let the vehicle run with your meter connected. If possible, drive the vehicle while monitoring the sensor signal. As the transmission fluid warms up, the sensor signal voltage should continue to drop off smoothly. When the transmission temperature reaches normal operating temperature, the sensor signal should have dropped below about half a volt. If the sensor voltage is out of range, make sure you have a good connection to the sensor. If the connections are okay, but the sensor voltage drops off to zero or jumps to 5 volts, the sensors probably bad.

Code 9: Engine Revolution Signal
About the Signal
The engine revolution signal isnt like other signals to the computer. Instead of coming from a dedicated sensor, the engine revolution signal is created by the engine control module (ECM) for the transmission computer. Its based on the signal the ECM receives from the crankshaft sensor. This is a digital signal that switches from zero to five volts. It varies in frequency based on engine RPM.

Testing the Engine Revolution Signal


Since the engine starts and runs, we have to assume the crankshaft sensor is working properly. Without the reference signal from the crankshaft sensor, the engine wont start. So with that in mind, you can narrow down the engine revolution signal failure to a few areas: The ECM isnt developing the proper signal. Theres an open or short in the wiring between the ECM and the transmission computer. The transmission computer isnt acknowledging the signal properly.

Check the signal from the ECM at the transmission computer with the engine running, using a scope or digital meter. If youre getting a signal at the transmission computer, the TCM itself is most likely the problem. If you dont have a signal at the transmission computer, run a new wire from the ECM to the transmission computer. If you still dont get a signal, the problem is most likely in the ECM.

Ammeter Electrical test device that measures current flow in a circuit. Displays measurement in amperes, or amps. Amperage Measurement of current flow in a circuit. Amperes; Amps Unit of measurement for reading current flow. Amperage is actually a reading of how many electrons are moving through a circuit at any given moment. One amp is the amount of current that one volt will push through one ohm of resistance. Analog Meter Measurement device that provides readings using a needle, instead of a digital output. Analog meters measure constantly, so the reading you see is the value taking place right now. But analog meters tend to be less accurate than digital meters, and the reading only updates as quickly as the needle can move. B+ Battery power. Closed Circuit A complete electrical path that provides the means for electricity to perform work. A closed circuit allows current to flow from its source, through the resistances, and back to its source. Computer Also controller; microprocessor. Device that provides the commands necessary to operate the engine or transmission, based on inputs from a series of sensors and switches. Controller See Computer. Conventional Electrical Theory Electrical circuit model which indicates

that electrical flow is from positive to negative. More recent studies show that electrons actually flow from negative to positive, but most texts still prefer to use the conventional model. Current Electron flow through a circuit, current is measured in amps. De-energize To turn off, or shut down a circuit or component. Digital On/off signal. A series of pulses that are either on or off, which provide information by varying frequency, or which control a circuit by varying frequency, duty cycle or ontime. Digital Multimeter Also DMM; DVOM; Digital Volt-Ohmmeter. Electrical device that provides measurements of electrical circuits, using a digital display. Digital meters and oscilloscopes read a circuit through sampling; how accurate your measurement is depends on how many samples the meter takes per second. Digital Volt-Ohmmeter See Digital Multimeter. Distributorless Ignition System Also Electronic Ignition. A type of ignition that doesnt use a distributor to provide spark to the cylinders. These systems usually provide spark through a process known as wastespark; a process which provides spark to two cylinders at once. One cylinder fires; the other receives spark on its exhaust stroke that cylinders spark is wasted. Ford uses this term to identify one of its electronic ignition system.

Diode An electrical one-way shutoff valve. A diode is a semiconductor, designed to allow current flow in one direction, but not in the other direction. These devices are commonly used to control the spark that develops when an electromagnetic coil de-energizes, and the magnetic field collapses. Duty Cycle A signal that varies its relationship between on-time and off-time. Duty cycle signals usually control a computer output device, such as an electronic pressure control solenoid: The longer the signal on-time, the longer the solenoid remains open, so the lower mainline pressure becomes. Electrostatic Discharge Electrical potential that releases suddenly; the shock you feel when you touch a doorknob on a dry day is electrostatic discharge. That shock can damage or destroy electronic components. Thats why its important to take precautions wear a static strap, never touch the terminals, etc. when working with electronic devices. Energize To turn on a circuit or component; provide with power and ground, to enable an electrical device to operate. Engine Control Module Also ECM. SAE J-1930 term for a device that controls only engine operation. See also PCM, TCM, Computer. Frequency The number of complete oscillations, or cycles, that occur each second. Measured in Hertz. Ground The return side of an electrical circuit, as defined by the conventional electrical theory. More recent studies show that electrons actually flow in the opposite direction of that shown by conventional theory, but its still the most common model for electrical circuits. Grounded Circuit An electrical circuit failure that keeps the circuit energized all the time, regardless of switch or relay position. Also known as a short-to-ground. Hertz Also Hz. Unit of measurement for frequency; the number of complete cycles that take place in one second. A signal that repeats itself 20 times every second has a frequency of 20 Hertz. High Impedance Having high resistance to electrical flow. Usually used to describe electrical meters. When used to test an electronic circuit, a low impedance meter would affect the characteristics of the circuit. The higher the meters impedance, the less effect it will have on the circuit, so the less change it will make to the circuit operation when connected. Intermittent Taking place in an irregular or unpredictable cycle. An intermittent problem or failure may happen one moment, then not be there the next. Thats why intermittent failures are often difficult to isolate. Light-Emitting Diode Also LED. A semiconductor that lights when energized, much like a light bulb. But, unlike a light bulb, an LED requires very little current, and that current flow must be in a specific direction, or the LED wont light.

Microprocessor See Computer. Ohm Unit of resistance measurement. It takes one volt to push one amp of current through one ohm resistance. Ohmmeter Electrical device for measuring resistance in a circuit or component. Ohms Law Principle that defines the relationship between pressure (voltage), flow (amperage) and resistance (ohms). Ohms x Amps = Volts; Volts Ohms = Amps; Volts Amps = Ohms. Open Circuit An incomplete electrical path that wont provide the means for electricity to perform work. An open circuit prevents current flow, so the circuit wont operate. Oscilloscope An electrical test device that maps voltage changes in a circuit over a specific amount of time. An oscilloscope displays the voltage signal as a picture, to show how voltage changes through the components operating cycle. Parallel Circuit An electrical circuit designed with multiple paths through the circuit, so that not all of the current must pass through all of the loads in the circuit. If one leg of a parallel circuit opens, it wont prevent the other legs from operating. Potentiometer A three-wire sensor that modifies a voltage signal based on movement or position. Potentiometers receive a regulated voltage signal to one end of a resistor, and ground to the other; a wiper slides along the resistor, and picks up the voltage signal, based on its position

along the resistor. Powertrain Control Module Also PCM. SAE J-1930 term for a computer that controls engine and transmission operation. A PCM may also control other systems, including cruise control, A/C system, antilock brakes, etc., but it must control engine and transmission to be called a PCM. See also ECM, TCM. Pulse Generator An AC generator that develops a frequency signal that varies with the rotational speed of an internal transmission component, such as a sun shell, turbine shaft or output ring gear. The computer uses this signal to measure the components RPM. From this, the computer can determine when to shift, when a shift is complete, or if a clutch is slipping. Pulse Width Modulated Also PWM. A signal that varies its relationship between on-time and off-time. Pulse width modulated signals usually control a computer output device, such as an electronic pressure control solenoid: The longer the signal on-time, the longer the solenoid remains open, so the lower mainline pressure becomes. See Duty Cycle. Relay An electrical device that allows a low current circuit to control a high current circuit. Energizing a relay energizes an electromagnet, which opens or closes a set of contacts, to provide power or ground to a circuit that would normally require too much current for the device controlling the circuit.

Resistance The ability of a circuit or device to reduce or limit current flow. Resistor A device that limits or reduces current flow in a circuit. Sensor A device that provides signals to the computer, based on engine or transmission operating conditions. The computer uses these signals to control engine operation more precisely. Serial Data A digital signal from the computer, to communication information with other computers or scan tools. Scan tools can provide the actual sensor readings the computer sees, and outputs from the computer, by interpreting serial data signals. Series Circuit An electrical circuit in which all of the loads are wired end to end, in such a way that forces all of the current passing through the circuit to travel through all of the loads. If one load in a series circuit opens, it will prevent the other loads from operating. Short Circuit An electrical circuit without the resistance necessary to operate properly. Because of this lost resistance, these circuits will often burn up, unless protected by a fuse or circuit breaker. Not to be confused with a grounded circuit. Shrink Tubing An insulating material that shrinks to seal a connection when you apply heat. Solenoid An electrical device that turns electrical signals into movement or work. Solenoids can control lever movement, such as throttle kickers, or can control vacuum or hydraulic flow. The solenoids youll most likely be dealing with open and close to control hydraulic flow, to allow the transmission to shift gears, control lockup, and control line pressure. Thermistor A semiconductor that varies resistance based on temperature. There are two types of thermistor: negative temperature coefficient (NTC) and positive temperature coefficient (PTC). The NTC thermistor is more common as the temperature goes up, its resistance goes down. Transistor A semiconductor that operates as an electronic relay. Transistors allow a low current circuit to control power or ground to a high current circuit. Variable Resistor A one- or two-wire sensor that modifies a voltage signal based on stress or temperature. Thermistors are the most common type of variable resistor in todays cars and trucks. Voltage The pressure in an electrical system, that pushes current through the circuit. One volt of pressure is necessary to push one amp of current through one ohm of resistance. Sometimes called the circuits potential. Voltmeter Electrical test device that measures the voltage potential in a circuit. Displays its reading in volts.

New-Design Pressure Switch Assembly; Code P1810


A diagnostic trouble code P1810 refers to a problem with the pressure switch assembly. This can be caused by debris shorting out the switch contacts. GM has introduced a new-design switch assembly that has a plastic shield, to protect the switch contacts from exposure to debris. The GM part number for the new switch assembly is 24215111.

P1870 Sets Regularly or Intermittently


Diagnostic trouble code P1870 (Transmission Component Slipping) is a very common problem on the 4L60E. It sets on all vehicles, and can be difficult to diagnose as its often intermittent. P1870 will set if: TCC is commanded on TCC duty cycle is at maximum TCC slip RPM is greater than 130 for longer than 7 seconds DTCs P0122, P0123, P0502, PO503, P0711, P0712, P0713, P0740, P0753, P0758, P1810, P1860 arent set. VSS is between 30 and 70 MPH (48112 KPH) Speed ratio (engine speed divided by output speed, also known as N/V ratio on some scan tools) is between 0.69 and 0.88 D4 range is selected TP is between 9% and 35% TFT is between 68 F and 266 F (20 130 C)

The computer reacts to code P1870 by: Raising line pressure to maximum Freezing shift adapts Inhibiting TCC

Any type of slip in 4th gear may lead to code P1870. This means a problem with the 34 clutch, 24 band or the forward clutch could cause this code. So P1870 isnt just related to the TCC or TCC operation. Other causes for code P1870 include: Clutch or servo sealing problems (seals, bushings, shafts, pistons) Friction material damage or improper stacking TCC or its feed circuit is leaking Solenoid problems (hydraulic leakage and low current flow) TCC pressure regulator valve side-loading in the bore, causing it to stick intermittently. This results in low TCC apply pressure.

P1870 Sets Regularly or Intermittently (cont)


To isolate the cause of the P1870 DTC: Use a scan tool to check whether the TCC slip values are consistent while driving at a steady throttle with the TCC applied. Apply and release the converter several times and check the slip RPM. Slip RPM at steady throttle should range between 10 to +30 for non-Electronically Controlled Capacity Clutch (EC3) torque converter applications and 10 to +60 on EC3 applications. Watch the slip RPM each time the TCC applies. After the first time the TCC slips too much, pay attention to how often it occurs on each subsequent apply. If theres too much slip on every apply, inspect the TCC hydraulic system for leaks (all TCC seal rings, gaskets, bushings, solenoids, converter. Replace the damaged or faulty components). If the slip isnt consistent with every TCC apply, check the TCC pressure regulator valve in the valve body for side-loading.

TCC Pressure Regulator

This is a very common problem and very often the valve body bore is worn, allowing the valve to cock in the bore. This reduces the amount of TCC apply pressure, resulting in excessive TCC slip. If a possible side loading occurs, replace the valve body or install a TCC pressure regulator valve kit readily available from many aftermarket companies. GM no longer produces new valve bodies as service parts: All valve bodies are now serviced as remanufactured valve bodies only. If no damage is present and you are confident a TCC pressure regulator valve side loading isnt present, replace the TCC PWM solenoid.

Under severe overheating conditions, the plastic insert can melt, clogging the orifice. Currently, the orifice isnt serviced separately, which gives you two choices: 1. You can replace the stator support with an earlier PWM support. 2. You can replace the orifice with an orificed cup plug. The cup plug used in earlier supports is too small for the bore, but you can use a larger plug. To do this you first need to enlarge the existing hole.

No 2nd, 4th and Reverse


Many 1997-99 4L60Es may lose reverse, 2nd and 4th gears. This is caused by a change in the manufacturing process for the sun gear reaction shell. During production, the radius of the area attaching the splines on the shell to the shell housing was reduced. This leads to a fatigue failure of the shell.

GM increased the radius of this area for added strength. To repair this condition, replace the shell. The part number for the updated shell is the same as the old shell. Whats more, GM didnt purge the faulty parts from inventory, so you may not get the updated part when you order it. The best way to tell if your part is the updated one is by checking the ID stamped inside the shell. The ID consists of a letter and three numbers. If your shell begins with the letters A or B, you have the old-style shell. The updated shells begin with the letter W. The GM part number for the sun gear shell is 8683439.

On VCM applications, if a code sets for only one or two solenoids or circuits, inspect the weatherpack seal at the VCM. You may find the seal is mispositioned, allowing water into the VCM connector. This may cause severe corrosion, which can degrade solenoid performance and cause codes to set. If corrosion is present, the VCM and the female terminals may require replacement. The ignition switch is also a common source of any or all of these problems. This holds true for the redesigned, 3-contact ignition switches used on the S-10s. To isolate this as a possible source of the problem, monitor pin voltage on circuit 1020 when the condition occurs. If the voltage drops below battery voltage, inspect the pins listed or the ignition switch for possible problems. If you find an open in the UBEC, youll have to replace it, as it is cant be disassembled and reassembled effectively.

No Reverse / Slips in Reverse


No reverse or a slip in reverse after a rebuild can be caused by installing a replacement boost valve bushing that doesnt match the original valve. Some late-model pumps use a smaller boost valve than earlier models. Installing a smaller, late-model boost valve in a larger, early replacement bushing creates a large leak in the reverse apply circuit. For now, the late-model valves and bushings arent available separately, so if you have a smaller valve that needs replacement, youll have to replace the valve-and-bushing assembly with the early set. These early design components are available separately. Early Valve 8680549 Early Bushing 8682856

Possible P0756, 23 Shift Solenoid Performance


Some 4L80E transmissions may intermittently set a P0756 code, which indicates performance problem in the 23 shift solenoid. The parameters for setting a P0756 are: No TPS, VSS, TCC, PSM, or shift solenoid codes are set in memory VSS greater than 5 MPH TPS angle 1520% and steady MAP value is steady between 0105 kPa Calculated engine torque is between 5450 ft-lbs Engine speed is above 450 RPM Transmission fluid temperature is between 68F and 266F The PCM/VCM commands a specific gear and then calculates a range other than the desired ratio has been achieved. The computer monitors N/V ratio (speed ratio; engine speed divided by transmission output speed) and determines the shift didnt occur. If the speed ratio doesnt drop more than 0.3 when the computer commands the shift to 3rd, and the condition exists longer than 1.5 seconds, the computer will set the code.

P0756 may set if an electrical problem exists, even if an electrical code for the solenoid or circuit (P0758) doesnt set. This may occur if the wiring for the solenoid (CKT 1223) is severely damaged but not fully severed.

Possible P0756, 23 Shift Solenoid Perf. (cont)


If theres resistance in the wiring, such as corrosion or a bad connection, current flow through the solenoid will be very low. Low current flow through the solenoid will cause the solenoid to fail hydraulically when the computer energizes it. If the 2-3 solenoid fails to hold pressure, the ratio will be incorrect. The typical cause for this code is the wiring is incorrectly routed. The harness is designed to be routed over the top of the transmission bell housing. In many cases the harness is incorrectly positioned, allowing it to wedge between the fuel lines and the body. This results in severe damage to the wiring harness, as the pinch weld on the body wears through the conduit and wiring insulation.

Second Gear Starts


A second gear start complaint (that often goes away when you step on the gas) is often caused by poor shift solenoid A pressure. This can be caused by a leaking shift solenoid or poor feed to the shift solenoid. One of the often overlooked areas for this leak is the O-ring on the #11 checkball capsule bushing. This bushing is located at the end of the 34 shift valve bore, and serves as a seal for solenoid A pressure. Always replace this O-ring during a rebuild or valve body service.

Lube Problems; Parts Interchange


In 1997, General Motors altered the lube circuit of the 4L80E. The 1991-through-96 models had two lube circuits, both originating from the return cooler line. The front lube circuit started at the return cooler line, went up to the pump, then flowed toward the rear, providing lubrication for the overdrive section. The rear lube, also originating from the return cooler line, flowed from the output shaft, forward. This circuit lubed everything from the output shaft-to-case bushing to the forward clutch hub. In 1997, GM broke the lube circuit into three separate sections, each with its own lube source. Front lube now has its own circuit. Rather than using cooler return oil, front lube is provided by a new circuit that uses converter charge oil. Another new circuit is for the rear lube. This new circuit uses oil from the actuator feed limit circuit, and only lubes the case bushing. Cooler return oil is now solely responsible for lubricating the main gear train; but rather than the oil flowing from the rear all the way to the forward clutch hub, it now flows from the center support, then flows both forward and rearward. In this section well look at all three lube circuits, and compare the earlier components with the revised parts used in the 1997-and-later units. But before we compare these components, you must be aware of the differences in the cases. The later case has a cooler return line that enters the center of the case, rather than at the front. Obviously, the early and late cases are not interchangeable.

.ront Lube Circuit


Front lube is provided through a new circuit that comes from converter charge. This is provided by a slot created in the stator support. Both the pump and stator support were changed to provide for this circuit. Early and late pump assemblies arent interchangeable. However, the late pump will work in an early unit. Also, GM has replacement pumps and stator supports that look very similar to the later parts. Make sure you know what youre using before you install the parts.

.ront Lube Circuit (continued)
The pump for the 4L80E was changed in 1997 as part of a lube modification. In addition, GM came out with a new pump assembly to replace the early (1991 96) pump assembly. This replacement uses the same stator support castings as the late stator support, so never use the casting numbers to identify which stator support youre using. The difference is in the bathtub: The late stator support is drilled; the early replacement isnt. Any pump body will work in an early transmission, but it must be bolted to the earlydesign stator support. Never swap the stator supports between early and late transmissions. Never use an early pump body or stator support in a late transmission.

Some 4T40E/4T45E transaxles may experience one of the following problems: Slips in 4th or no 4th Slips in 3rd and 4th or no 3rd or 4th Possible code P0730 set in memory

4T40E/4T45E

To diagnose this problem, monitor gear ratio on your scan tool. Typically youll notice an incorrect gear ratio in 4th gear. You should notice this problem in 4th gear before the transaxle develops a ratio error problem in 3rd gear. This is because the torque to the clutches is nearly 100% in 4th but drops to around 60% in 3rd gear. If the problem has been going on for a while, youll see incorrect ratios for 3rd and 4th gears. The correct ratio in 3rd gear is between 0.91:1 and 1.07:1, while 4th gear ratio should remain between 0.61:1 and 0.72:1. The most common causes for this problem are: Direct clutch piston seal delamination Pressure Control Solenoid (PCS)

To identify the possible causes, check the line pressure and compare your pressure readings to the amperage commands in the tables. If line pressure is incorrect, either the pressure control solenoid failed, theres a valve body problem, or the computer isnt providing the proper signal.

If line pressure readings are within specifications, inspect the direct clutch piston for possible seal delamination. If chunks of the seal are missing or if cracks are developing in the seal rubber, the seal is delaminating. The seal used in the direct clutch is a molded design; that is, the piston and seal are a one-piece assembly. An upgraded molded piston has been released. You can identify the new piston by the part number molded into the rubber of the seal. Updated pistons have number 24205044 molded into the seal.

Intermittent Loss of TCC


Some 4T40Es may lose TCC until you cycle the ignition off and on. This condition may also set DTC P1887. Diagnosis using the service manual may lead you to replacing the TCC release switch. The TCC release switch has created this problem, especially on early model units. The TCC release switch is part of the Pressure Switch Assembly (PSA) and is serviced by replacing the PSA.

Pressure Switch Assembly

Another possibility is an open or short in the TCC release switch circuit on the PSA. To isolate this problem, use a scan tool and monitor the position of the TCC release switch. With the key on, engine off, monitor the TCC release pressure data. TCC release pressure should indicate NO when monitoring with key on, engine off. If it indicates YES, check the harness for a possible open circuit, wiring damage, or weak terminal pin tension before replacing the switch.

Intermittent Loss of TCC (continued)


Start the engine and monitor the switch status. If the TCC release switch data displays NO, check the switch wiring for a short to ground. If the wiring is okay, replace the switch. If the switch has already been replaced for this condition, check for a hydraulic problem (gasket, debris) that could prevent pressure from dropping at the switch when the TCC turns off.

Slips in Reverse at Heavy Throttle; Possible Burnt Reverse Clutches


Some 4T40E transaxles may slip in reverse, at mid to high throttle openings. The slip may seem worse when the transaxle is cold. This condition is most common on J-body vehicles (Sunfire, Caviler), though it does occur in other applications. Check line pressure and the Pressure Control Solenoid (PCS) commanded status before disassembling the unit. If line pressure the PCS commanded and actual amperage readings are correct, check the orifice in the reverse input clutch center retainer and seal assembly. Make sure it isnt plugged, incorrectly sized, or missing. The orifice should be about 0.055" in diameter. A problem at this orifice will prevent the reverse clutch from applying all the way, which can lead to slipping and cause the clutches to fail. The slip is caused by a reduced clutch clamping load as the outer diameter of the piston isnt being supplied with enough pressure. The GM part number for the retainer and seal assembly is 24205041.

Second Gear Starts


A second gear start complaint (that often goes away when you step on the gas) is often caused by poor shift solenoid A pressure. This can be caused by a leaking shift solenoid or poor feed to the shift solenoid. One of the often overlooked areas for this leak is the O-ring on the 34 shift valve plug. Always replace this O-ring during a rebuild or valve body service.

A leak at this O-ring can cause 2nd gear starts.

1st Gear Only
A common problem on 97-and-later 4T40E/4T45E applications is a lack of 2nd, 3rd, 4th and reverse gears. This is caused by a broken weld on the reaction sun gear and shell assembly. Typically the friction weld attaching the sun gear to the shell breaks, allowing the sun gear to turn free of the shell. To repair, replace the shell with an updated version. The GM part number for the revised shell is 24204471.

Look for the shell to break here.

IA G N O S T IC

IP

Heres an easy way to confirm whether the shell is broken: Remove the pan, and then remove intermediate/4th servo assembly. Take the unit out of park. Use a long screwdriver or rod to push up on the band, locking the shell in place. If the shell is broken, youll be able to turn both drive wheels backward at the same time. If the shell is okay, the drive wheels will lock when you try to turn them both backward at the same time. However, both wheels will turn forward, regardless of the condition of the shell.

No Movement .orward or Reverse; Possible Noise that .ollows RPM


This resembles the problem faced several years ago on the 3T40: Generally the customer comes out one morning, puts the car into gear, and it wont move forward or backward. In many instances, the transaxle may exhibit a grinding/rattling type noise. This problem is usually caused by a shattered or broken pump rotor, caused by one of these conditions: an improper heat-treating process during manufacturing. the spacer on the pump drive shaft came apart and got into the pump rotor.

To repair this problem, clean the unit thoroughly and install a new pump assembly. Both of these failures have been addressed in the service pumps available.

IM P O R T A N T

Another cause for a broken shaft or rotor is high line pressure always check line pressure before delivering the vehicle.

Intermittent No 4th and Possibly No TCC; Possible DTC 31, 91, E91 or P0705
Some applications may experience an intermittent loss of TCC and possibly 4th gear; code 31, 91, E91, P0705 may be stored in memory, depending on the year and model of the vehicle. These codes indicate a misadjusted Transmission Range (TR) switch. On many applications, no code will set; codes arent available for TR switch failures on some vehicles. In that case the computer will inhibit 4th gear as long as it believes the shifter is in D range instead of OD. The PCM programming is designed to inhibit TCC when the code sets. Most shops wont be able to duplicate this condition.

This intermittent problem can be due to a misadjusted TR switch; but it may occur if the driver rests his hand on the shift lever. To identify the source of the problem, monitor the TR switch scan data while applying slight pressure to the shift lever. The correct scan data display for OD range is: A = HI, B = LO, C = LO, P = HI On Cadillacs, the values may be listed as binary code values where a HI is represented by 1, and low is 0. If the scan data indicates LO/LO/LO/LO, adjust the sensor and recheck the scan values. If the scan values remain LO/LO/LO/LO, inspect the wiring. If you dont find any problems in the wiring, replace the TR switch.

Binds on the 12 Shift


A bindup during the 12 shift, which then goes away in 3rd and 4th is caused by a 3rd clutch that is applied all the time, or applies anytime the input clutch is applied. This can be caused by cross leaks, such as the input clutch drum sealing rings in the driven sprocket support, or any number of areas in the valve body or channel casting. One of the more common causes is a mismatch between the type of input clutch piston and 3rd clutch piston used. If you use 10-plate 3rd clutch components with an input clutch piston designed for 8-clutch 3rd clutch components, the input clutch piston will interfere with the 3rd clutches, causing the 3rd clutch to apply anytime the input clutch is applied. Use the illustrations below to identify the parts. Always make sure that the 3rd clutch rotates freely when you air check the input clutch.

Intermittent Delayed Engagement or Neutral while Driving


Some 4T60Es and 4T65Es may experience a delayed engagement when you first place the shift lever into gear. This complaint is similar to having a rolled input clutch seal (a common cause of delayed engagement on these applications). In addition, the transaxle may seem to go into neutral while driving. This problem may be caused by a broken pump priming spring or springs. This allows oil pressure to intermittently drop to minimum pressure, allowing the clutch or band to release. Testing this problem can be difficult. Before you tear into the trans to check the spring, always check any external components that could be responsible. Make sure the modulator valve moves freely in the bore, and the modulator is in good shape. If youre working on a 4T65E, verify the computer signal for line rise. The easiest way to check it is with a scan tool. If the primary springs are broken, replace them. The GM part numbers for the springs are: Inner Spring 8646251 Outer Spring 8646189

Second Gear Starts


A second gear start (that usually goes away when you step on the gas) is often caused by poor pressure at shift solenoid A. This can be caused a leaking shift solenoid, or poor feed to the solenoid. Early solenoids were designed to hold the pressure control solenoid feed screen in place. The force of the screen pushing against the solenoid had a tendency to break the solenoids. If you have the early setup, replace them with the upgrade kit.

The later solenoid setup used a separate bracket to hold the screen in place. The GM part number for the solenoid update kit is 24211355. If you already have the later solenoid setup, the GM part number for the solenoids is 24207662. The GM part number for the screen is 8680389.

1993-and-later Cadillacs have an ATF Life telltale that shows when the transmission should be serviced. This usually sets at about 100,000 miles. The actual display will vary from model to model; however, the key (and problem) is the display has a message that you seemingly cant get rid of. For 1993 through 1995 models you can reset the ATF life through the self-diagnostic functions in the instrument panel. To do so, follow these steps. 1. Key on, engine off. 2. Press the OFF and WARMER buttons simultaneously on the climate control panel. Allow the display to show if there are any codes before continuing. 3. When the display shows PCM? press the HIGH fan button. The display will ask which function you want, beginning with PCM DATA. Press the LOW fan button to select different functions. Continue pressing the LOW fan button until you see PCM OVERRIDE on the display. 4. Press the HIGH fan button. You should see PS00 in the display. 5. Use the HIGH fan button again, to scroll through the parameters (e.g. PS01, PS02 etc.) until you get to PS15. 6. Look at the Climate Control Panels Temperature display. The number in the display indicates ATF Life. 7. Use the WARMER button to raise ATF life. The display only has two digits. When it reaches 100, itll display . 8. Turn the ignition off; the ATF Life is reset. For 1996-and-later vehicles, youll need a scan tool to reset the ATF Life indicator.

4R44E, 4R55E, 5R55E


Application
The 4R44E and the 4R55E are almost identical; the difference between them is in the load capacity: The 4R55E is stronger than the 4R44E. Even though the 5R55E is a 5-speed automatic, it is mechanically the same as its 4speed cousins, the 4R44E and the 4R55E. The difference is in the way the computer commands the upshifts. By commanding the overdrive band on while the transmission is in 1st gear, the 5R55E develops a 1.86:1 ratio. This falls between 1st gear (2.47:1) and 2nd gear (1.47:1). Heres how it works: 1st gear is still 1st gear. However, rather than applying the intermediate band for 2nd gear, the OD band applies for 2nd. Its actually an overdriven 1st gear. For 3rd gear the unit releases the OD band and applies the intermediate band. Applying the direct clutch puts the unit into 4th gear. Finally the OD band reapplies to put the transmission into 5th gear. Confused? Thats okay: As long as you remember the extra gear falls between 1st and 2nd gear, the 5R55E will be a lot easier to diagnose. Because these units look very similar and the computer is what decides whether its a 4 speed or 5 speed, use the vehicle application chart to verify which unit youre working on.

Delayed Reverse
1) Low line pressure. 2) Excessive low/reverse band clearance. 3) Excessive direct clutch clearance. Direct clutch clearance should be between 0.008" 0.010" per friction. 4) Leaks in the reverse apply circuit, such as direct drum piston seals, direct drum to center support seal rings, intermediate servo, low/reverse servo seals. If all of these items are okay and youre still experiencing a delayed reverse engagement, try blocking the reverse modulator valve. Like the A4LD, delayed reverse engagements are common in the 4R44E, 4R55E and 5R55E. And just like the A4LD, there are ways to correct the problem. Here are the most common causes for a delayed reverse:

A 23 flare on a 4R44E or 4R55E (or a 34 flare on the 5R55E) is often caused by low line pressure. The problem isnt that the computer doesnt vary line pressure, or that theres an underlying valve body problem. Its simply the computer doesnt command line pressure high enough to make a proper shift. If the intermediate servo is in good shape, and you do get line pressure variation during throttle changes, try adjusting the pressure control solenoid adjustment screw clockwise, of a turn.

The removable lube orifice shown here is used to limit the amount of lube oil supplied to the extension housing. Since this circuit receives mainline pressure directly, modifying the orifice or leaving it out will affect line pressure. Never modify or omit this orifice.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC)


There are many ways to approach trouble codes. Some technicians prefer to diagnose the system completely, while others simply want a list of possibilities to throw parts at the problem. Both of these extremes have their benefits and drawbacks. The true technician knows which approach to choose for a successful diagnosis. In this section weve tried to offer enough information to aid everyones approach, including a brief definition of most codes associated with the 4R44E family, common causes, quick fix suggestions, and some computer strategies that happen due to certain codes. By strategies, we mean functions that the computer is programmed to change in the event of a trouble code. Understanding these strategy changes can be useful for diagnosis, or at least offer an explanation when the transmission does something really strange. Very little is published about specific code strategies and even less is given to us by the manufacturer. The code strategies listed in this section are only some we know exist. Among the first things you should check on a vehicle with electrical codes are the power and grounds supplied to the computer. Poor values in these two circuits can be the root cause of many electrical trouble codes. To keep from repeating this throughout the section, well assumed youve already checked these circuits and are known to be good. You must include these in your testing, whether we mention it or not.

When the EPC solenoid sets a solenoid circuit code, the computer turns the EPC solenoid off, causing high line pressure and hard shifts. When the TCC solenoid sets a solenoid circuit code, the computer turns the TCC solenoid off, disabling lockup. When a shift solenoid circuit code sets, the computer shuts the failed solenoid off.

Solenoid Circuit .ailure Codes (continued)


Heres some useful data you can use to test each solenoid circuit for problems. Perform these tests at the computer connector with the computer disconnected. 1) Use the specifications chart for computer pin ID and resistance values. Check resistance between the positive and negative terminals for each solenoid. They should fall between the specs listed. 2) Check resistance between the negative terminal and chassis ground. The readings for all solenoids should read infinity (no continuity). This is testing the circuit for shorts to ground.

How the Codes Set


The computer constantly monitors the actual gear ratio by calculating the output speed and the engine RPM or the turbine speed sensor. When it sees a ratio that differs from the ratio it commanded, the computer sets the trouble code that represents the failure.

.alse Codes
False codes can be set by false signals from the transmission range sensor. For example: If the transmission range sensor signals OD range, but youre actually in manual low, the computer will expect to see an upshift.

Possible Causes
1) 2) 3) 4) Internal components (see component failure chart for more detail) Hydraulically bad shift solenoids Sticky valves Bad transmission range sensor

Common Causes
1) Low line pressure or poor line rise 2) Bad servos 3) Internal components

Ratio Errors (continued)
The Quick .ix
For ratio errors there really is no quick fix. If you decide to throw parts at it, new OD and intermediate servos are a must. The rest is up to you. If you want to do it properly, follow the diagnostic suggestions.

Diagnostic Suggestions
Determine whether youre reading a false code or a real ratio error. 1) Drive the vehicle on the road until the code resets. Does the transmission have the gear in question? 2) Drive the vehicle on the rack with no load to see if the code sets.
Results w hen Code Sets Road Test Missing Gear Missing Gear Slips in Gear Gear Feels Fine Gear Feels Fine Rack Test Missing Gear Has Gear Has Gear No Code Sets Has Gear Probable Cause Bad Solenoids; Sticky Valves; Internal Components Internal Components Internal Components Internal Components False Code

This chart is based on logic. For example, if you had a 4R44E setting a code P0734 (4th gear ratio error), it could be a control problem (sticky 34 shift valve or a bad SS3), an internal component (bad OD servo or a bad OD band) or it could be a false code (range sensor or even a computer). If it is missing or slipping in gear, it cant be a false code. If it has the gear at fault but slips it cant be a control problem or a false code. If it sets the code on the rack, its very likely its a false code, because on the rack theres no load.

AX4S

1991 Valve Body Interchange


The 1991 AX4S valve body is unique; its the only year Ford used a simple on-off solenoid for lockup. The problem is that these valve bodies are becoming very difficult to find, so if you have one thats no good, youre out of luck until now. Ford released upgrade kits to convert the 1991 valve body hydraulics to the 92 model, but still keep the simple on-off solenoid. You can use one of these kits with a 92-andlater PWM valve body, while keeping the on-off solenoid. Although this wasnt Fords original intent, it works great. These kits contain a clip, some checkballs, gaskets, two separator plates, a new backout valve, and instructions. The backout valve in the kit is the same as the one in the PWMtype valve body, so you wont need to replace it. Assemble the valve body as you normally would, using the two new plates. You can now install the on-off lockup solenoid and youre back in business. There are three kits available, based on application: F1DZ-7A142B .............. 3.0L F1DZ-7A142C .............. 3.8L F1DZ-7A142D .............. 3.8L Police

CD4E

Uncontrollable High Line Pressure


Uncontrollable high line pressure is responsible for many of the cracked forward/coast/ direct clutch drum complaints. In many cases, this high line pressure problem is the result of a worn out pressure regulator valve, or regulator valve bore in the valve body. During rebuild, make sure you inspect the valve and bore carefully.

Uncontrollable High Line Pressure (continued)


An effective countermeasure for this problem is to enlarge the PR balance holes in the separator plate. Enlarge these balance holes to 0.055". If the valve or bore are worn excessively, enlarging the balance holes wont help the condition.

CD4E

No .orward
A CD4E that wont move forward can be caused by a misaligned rear ring gear shaft. This causes a side load on the gear train, popping the forward clutch snap ring loose. If you run into this problem, replace the clutch drum and snap ring, naturally, but also replace the ring gear. There are two ring gears, based on which engine you have. The part numbers for these ring gears are: F3RZ-7A153-B (2.0L) F3RZ-7A153-A (2.5L)

This shaft may be misaligned

After a rebuild or repair, some CD4Es may not have reverse. This can be caused by installing the solenoid housing gasket backward. To repair this condition, remove the housing, and make sure the gasket seals the oil passages properly.

Its not uncommon to replace the VSS on many vehicles during the rebuild, especially on those where the VSS is close to the exhaust and suffers heat damage.

Transaxle Identification
The 41TE transaxle is used in many of Chryslers front wheel drive vehicles. There are many different units, based on the application. One of the biggest differences in these variations is transfer gear and final drive ratios. Chrysler uses a sticker, located on top of the bell housing, to identify the unit. The following chart shows transaxle application based on the ID code. The chart also shows the tooth counts of the output gear, transfer gear, pinion gear, and final drive ring gear. This is useful information, particularly if your working on a vehicle you suspect has the wrong transaxle.

Burnt Low/Reverse Clutch; Slips in Low and Reverse


Some 41TE valve bodies have a bathtub for the #1 checkball thats too shallow. This can allow the checkball to stick, causing the low/reverse clutch circuit to leak. You can check for this by measuring the clearance between the top of the checkball and the top of the valve body casting. You must have at least 0.007" of space for the checkball. If you have less than 0.007" clearance, replace the valve body.

New Design Input and Output Sensors


The input and output speed sensors were redesigned for 1997-and-later units. The new sensors use O-rings with a smaller cross-section than the previous design. You can use the new sensors on earlier models; but always use the proper O-rings. Using the early O-ring on the late sensor wont allow the sensor to mount flush against the case; using the late O-ring on an early sensor may cause leaks. The Chrysler part numbers for the two sensors are: 04800878 Input 04800879 Output You can still use the harness repair kit for the new sensors, Chrysler part number 4419478. These sensors include the proper O-rings.

Input Clutch Drum Retainer and Related Parts Changes


Chrysler has updated the input clutch drum, OD/UD reaction plate, and tapered snap ring several times since 1989. They have also changed the part numbers several times, without changing the part. Because of this, theres a lot of confusion as to which parts to use during a rebuild. In 1997, Chrysler changed the thickness of the OD/UD tapered snap ring from 0.076" to 0.091". At the same time, they widened the groove for the snap ring. The thick snap ring wont fit the earlier retainer. The reason for the thicker snap ring was to help prevent it from breaking.

Code 74: Calculated Oil Temperature in Use


After vehicle startup, the transmission may operate in 2nd and reverse for the first few minutes of operation and then resume normal shifting. The Transmission Control Module (TCM) may be sensing an open circuit in the transmission temperature sensor circuit, indicating the transmission is extremely cold (below 16 F). This false temperature signal will keep the transmission in 2nd gear until the transmission temperature signal indicates the temperature has risen above 12 F. This condition usually sets transmission Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) 74 Calculated Oil Temperature in Use. Once code 74 sets, the computer wont attempt to use the signal from the transmission temperature sensor, but will use the calculated oil temperature routine for all 41TE/AE and 42LE applications built before 1996. The computer will continue to use the calculated oil temperature routine for 35 OBD-II drive cycles. If calculated oil temperature is used, the vehicle will operate normally; but the condition may return after 35 OBD-II drive cycles, when the computer tries to use the transmission temperature sensor for input again. To diagnose code 74, there are a few things you must understand:

Conditions to Set Code 74:


The computer must detect intermittent or out-of-range data from the transmission temperature sensor circuit for three consecutive drive cycles before the code will set. Setting code 74 will enable the calculated oil temperature routine to initialize the transmission oil temperature at startup for 35 OBD-II drive cycles. After 35 OBD-II drive cycles, the computer will attempt to use the temperature sensor for every start until code 74 resets.

Invalid Temperature Data


If the computer detects intermittent or out-of-range data from the transmission temperature sensor before code 74 sets, it switches to the calculated temperature routine, starting from the last good temperature signal. This can cause 2nd and reverse only, if the transmission temperature sensor indicates a startup temperature below 16F (which occurs if the temperature sensor circuit resistance is high, but not quite an open circuit). No code sets unless its the third consecutive start with invalid data. So you may not be sure whether the computer is using the temperature sensor signal or the calculated oil temperature routine for shift scheduling.

Code 74 (continued)
Clearing Code 74
Clearing the codes wont automatically enable the computer to use the transmission temperature sensor signal. The computer remembers the last time code 74 was set and wont attempt to use the temperature sensor signal until 35 OBD-II drive cycles have passed, regardless of whether the code is still in memory. Disconnecting the battery, however, will enable the computer to use the transmission temperature sensor signal.
C A U T IO N

Disconnecting the battery will clear all computer memories, including the clock, learned engine parameters, and radio antitheft codes and presets. Make sure you take the necessary precautions before disconnecting the battery.

Three items can cause the computer to lose or receive an intermittent temperature sensor signal: Defective wiring between the temperature sensor and the transmission computer The temperature sensor The transmission computer

Checking Circuit Voltage


Measure the voltage at the temperature sensor wire, key on engine off (pin 53 or 54, depending on model); voltage should vary based on temperature. The voltage should never fall below 0.07 volts, or rise above 4.94 volts. If the voltage drops below 0.07 volts, look for a voltage supply problem or a bad temperature sensor. If the voltage goes above 4.94 volts, look for a grounding problem or a bad temperature sensor.

Checking the Ground Circuit
Measure the voltage on the ground side of the circuit, at the temperature sensor (key on, engine off). The voltage should be below 0.5 volts. If voltage is high, look for one of these problems: a broken wire to the computer an open ground circuit in the computer an open ground circuit to the computer.

To check the ground on the computer measure the voltage at the temperature sensor wire (pin 13 or 14, depending on model); it should be less than 0.5 volts. If the ground is okay, replace the wire to the temperature sensor. If the voltage is high, check for a bad ground to the computer (use the computer wiring charts to identify the grounds for the vehicle youre working on. The ground wires to the computer should be below 0.1 volts.

Measure the voltage to the temperature sensor (key on, engine off; harness connector unplugged); it should have at least 5.5 volts. If the voltage is low, check resistance. Look for an open or short-to-ground in the temperature sensor wire to the computer. Measure the voltage at the computer (pin 53 or 54, depending on model). If the voltage at the computer is okay, replace the wire to the temperature sensor. If the voltage is still low, cut the wire about 3" from the computer and measure it again. o If the voltage is now okay, replace the wire. o If the voltage is still low, check the voltage supply, starting at the battery: With the key off, a fully-charged battery should have 12.6 volts. If the battery is low, charge or replace it before continuing. Voltage at the computer terminal should be within 0.1 volts of battery voltage.

Buzz or Rattling Noise


This buzzing or rattling noise is most often present while accelerating lightly from a stop, and then driving through the 1015 MPH range. This noise doesnt vary with turns. Chrysler has a redesigned chain snubber to address this problem. The Chrysler part number for the snubber is 4778989. 1993 and 94 models use a wide single chain. In 1995, Chrysler began using two narrow chains; the sprocket teeth are offset, and operate more quietly than the single chain. If youre working on a trans with the single chain, consider upgrading to the two-chain setup. The part numbers for the sprockets are: Output Shaft Sprocket .......... 4659232 Transfer Shaft Sprocket......... 4659233

Chrysler chains are very expensive; you can buy the same chains through the aftermarket for much less.

42RE/44RE and 46RE/47RE


Introduction
The 42RE and the 44RE are based on the A500 (42RH). The 46RE and the 47RE are based on the A518/A618 (46RH/47RH) transmissions. For the most part, all of these units are controlled in the same manner. Well refer to them as the 42RE and the 46RE. Although the computer controls shift timing, it does so in an unusual way. These transmissions still use a lockup solenoid and an OD solenoid. The main difference is the addition of the governor pressure control solenoid and the governor pressure transducer. Governor pressure is no longer controlled by centrifugal force that increases with output shaft speed. On these units, the computer reads output shaft speed from the VSS, and then creates governor pressure electronically, using the governor pressure control solenoid. The governor pressure transducer provides a feedback signal, to indicate to the computer how much governor pressure is actually being produced. Because of this, adjusting the TV pressure can still alter shift timing.

Pressure Testing
The 42RE and 46RE transmissions have several pressure ports to choose from. In many cases, its a good idea to have two pressure gauges. Keep in mind that in reverse the pressure can exceed 250 PSI, so always use a 0300 PSI gauge when testing reverse pressure. Despite the number of pressure taps, there is no mainline pressure tap. Use the chart to compare your results to the factory specifications.

Wrong Gear Starts
Occasionally wrong gear starts are caused by stuck shift valves; more often theyre caused by high governor pressure. Connect a 0100 PSI pressure gauge to the governor port. Pressure should be 0 PSI at a stop, and increase about 1 PSI for every 1 MPH of vehicle speed (12 PSI at 12 MPH, 45 PSI at 45 MPH, and so on). If governor pressure is good, the wrong gear start is cause by a stuck shift valve. If governor pressure is high, the shift valves are okay.

Causes of High Governor Pressure


1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Any transmission trouble code (very common) Bad governor pressure control solenoid (very common) Bad governor pressure transducer (very common) Poor connections to the governor pressure solenoid and transducer (rare) Bad computer (rare)

Quick .ix
If its Friday night and you only have time for a guess, try replacing the governor pressure solenoid and transducer. Replace both with brand new, OEM-quality replacement parts.

Wrong Gear Starts (continued)
Diagnostic Suggestions
When a trouble code sets, the computer shuts off the 12-volt supply to the transmission, keeping the transmission in 3rd gear. Repair the trouble codes first. If the high governor pressure is high without trouble codes, youll need to perform further diagnosis: While watching governor pressure with a gauge, use a scan tool to monitor Desired Governor Pressure and Actual Governor Pressure. All three should read about the same. Unless the computer is bad or theres a bad input to the computer, the desired pressure should follow vehicle speed fairly closely. 1) If the pressure transducer is good, but a bad governor pressure control solenoid is causing the high governor pressure, the Actual Governor Pressure and the pressure gauge reading should read the same, both of which will be higher than expected. However, the Desired Governor Pressure wont match the Actual Governor Pressure or the pressure gauge reading. 2) If the pressure transducer is lying to the computer, the Desired Governor Pressure and the Actual Governor Pressure may or may not be the same. However, the pressure gauge reading will definitely not be the same as the Desired Governor Pressure. 3) If the governor pressure control solenoid and the pressure transducer are bad, the only reading you can trust is from your pressure gauge. If the scan tool readings make no sense, try changing both the transducer and the solenoid.

Checkball and Tube Locations
The 42RE was introduced in 1993 and was used only with Jeeps. Chrysler began using the RE versions in 1996. Several changes have occurred to the valve body over the years, including changes in the checkballs and the addition of a boost tube. These illustrations will detail those changes. Not all models will use the #7 and #9 checkballs. Models that use these checkballs will have two holes in the separator plate above the checkballs. Using a #7 checkball on a valve body that wasnt designed for it will prevent the unit from going into forward ranges. Using a #9 checkball in a valve body that isnt designed for it will prevent the unit from going into reverse.

One of the more common reasons for planet failure is a restricted cooler. One of the cooler-related problems is using an in-series auxiliary cooler. A better way to install an auxiliary cooler is to install it in parallel. The illustrations show the difference between the OE cooler configuration, a series-fed cooler and a parallel-fed cooler.

OD Selective Washer Setup
One important (yet commonly overlooked) rebuild procedure is selecting the washer between the overdrive piston and direct clutch hub. This washer isnt for setting endplay; rather, its used to coordinate the release of the direct clutch with the apply of the overdrive brake. If the washer is too thin, it can cause a bindup during the 3-4 shift. If the washer is too thick, it can prevent the direct clutch from applying all the way. This will cause a slip in reverse, or no reverse at all. There are two ways you can use to select the proper washer: The factory way, and Cliffs way. Lets first look at the factory method:

.actory Method
1. Place the overdrive section in a fixture so its vertical. 2. Place a straight edge across the housing and measure from the top of the straight edge.
C A U T IO N

Make sure you dont have the bearing or selective washer on the direct clutch hub. Your dial indicator needs to contact the hub directly.

3. Take a measurement in four places, about 90 apart. 4. Average the four measurements. For example: Lets say your four measurements were 1.812", 1.818", 1.815", and 1.817". Heres the formula: 1.812 + 1.818 + 1.815 + 1.817 = 7.262 7.262 4 = 1.8155" Well round this to 1.816" 5. Subtract the thickness of the straightedge. If you had a straightedge thats 0.500 thick, then 1.816 0.500 = 1.316 6. Find a washer from the chart that comes closest to your measurement.

1. Get the OD piston, bearing, and any selective washer you choose and stack them as they would fit in the overdrive section.

Make sure you install the bearing and washer before you place the piston on top of the OD section.

2. While pressing down on the piston check for about 0.010" of jiggle in the extra steel you placed in the OD section. Increase or decrease the thickness of the selective until you get about 0.010" of play in the OD pack. 3. Once you have the correct selective washer, remove the extra OD steel place and reinstall the wire snap ring.

Solenoid Grounding Kit


Bad grounds are a real problem, especially with the 4L30E. The standard grounding method for the solenoids is a simple spade connector. Isuzu has a harness kit that includes an eyelet you bolt on the valve body. This new ground is far superior to the spade connector, and its a good idea to use one on every rebuild. The Isuzu part number for the kit is 8-96041-331-0.

Early units used a spade connector to provide solenoid ground. These units often suffered from bad grounds.

Isuzu offers a harness that provides a more positive ground for the solenoids.

Code 41: Ratio Error


A code 41 is typically caused by clutch slip. If youre working on a 1990 or 91 Trooper II, 1992 or 93 Trooper, or 1991 through 93 Rodeo, be aware that some units were made with poorly machined overdrive housing castings. The machining problem was where the 4th brake piston outer seal rides, and where the 4th accumulator piston seal rides. If you have a wiped out 4th clutch, make sure you check these areas very closely for a rough surface where the seals ride. If you need to replace the housing you have two choices: Use a 1994-or-later housing, or replace it with an update kit. The kit contains a new housing, a replacement plate with gaskets, and two accumulator setups (for various models). The Isuzu part number for the kit is 8-96041-192-0. If you use the update kit, check the ID tag to make sure you use the right accumulator setup. The ID tag is located just above the manual linkage shaft on the drivers side of the trans.

Problem Indication

Diagnostic Trouble Codes


The JR403E control system indicates problems in the computer system through the Economy light on the dash. When you first turn the key on, the light will flash 16 times, to indicate a diagnostic trouble code stored in memory.

To indicate a computer system problem or display diagnostic trouble codes, Isuzu trucks flash the Economy light on the dash.

Once you know theres a code in memory, there are two different procedures for retrieving and reading the codes, depending on vehicle year. The easiest way to determine which procedure to follow is to try the procedure for early systems: If the system displays codes, you chose correctly; if not, look for the diagnostic link connector, required for the second procedure. On each system, the computer displays the codes by flashing the Economy light on the dash.

Retrieving the Codes; Early Systems


To retrieve the codes on early vehicles, set the parking brake. Youll have to put the vehicle in gear during the procedure, and this will prevent it from rolling. To prepare to retrieve the codes: Turn the ignition key off. Put the shift selector in D. Set the Economy/Drive switch to normal.

Now youre ready to begin the procedure to display diagnostic trouble codes:

Retrieving the Codes; Late Systems
The procedure for retrieving codes on late model Isuzu trucks involves jumping between the two terminals on the diagnostic link connector. Look for the connector just below the brake fluid reservoir, in the engine compartment.

To display the codes, run a jumper wire between the two terminals, and turn the key on, engine off.

Connect a jumper between the two terminals on the connector, and turn the key on, engine off. The computer will begin flashing the Economy light on and off to display the codes.

23 .lare
A 2-3 flare in a G4AEL can be very difficult to diagnose. To add to the frustration, you have the customer, the center manager, and maybe even the dog pressuring you to fix it now! Because of the additional pressure, youre often forced to do things that wont really fix the problem; rather, they simply overcome it or cover up the problem. One of two things is almost certain: Itll probably come back fried within 6 months, and Since you never really found the problem, its very likely that the next five G4AEL transmissions you rebuild will do the same thing.

There are a number of things that cause problems in the 34 clutch drum. Many of them can be prevented during the original rebuild.

Step 1: The Drum


Leak check the air bleeds with solvent. If they leak, try reseating them by tapping them carefully with a small punch. If that fails to correct the leak, throw the drum away or machine it for a new checkball capsule.

Try to get 3rd clutch clearance between 0.030"0.045". The shorter the distance the piston has to travel, the less volume necessary to apply the clutch.

Step 2: The Differential
Take the extra 15 minutes to disassemble the differential completely. The output gear has two Teflon rings that seal the 3rd clutch drum. The best working ring available for this application is machined Teflon. You can identify these rings by their absence of molding marks; all you should see are machining marks. Because these rings are machined, theyre held to a much tighter tolerance.

Step 3: The A ccumulators


When you reassemble the differential, pay close attention to the 23 accumulator. A good quality Teflon or rubber ring will work well. The main point is good quality. Always Scotchbright the bores when using rubber rings.
IM P O R T A N T

One of the most critical parts of the 3rd clutch circuit is the Teflon ring on the input shaft. It can be difficult to find a ring to fit properly. Sometimes the only alternative is to custom fit your own. Butt cut a larger ring to fit.

Mazda G4AEL
Step 4: Air Testing

23 .lare (continued)
Air checking the 3rd clutch is critical to avoid a 2-3 flare. If you dont air check the 3rd clutch properly, you can easily create a problem. The transmission must be completely assembled with the pump bolted to the case before you apply any air to the 3rd clutch. If you try to air check the 3rd clutch before bolting the pump in place, air pressure will force the input shaft upward. This allows the Teflon ring to come out of its bore and separate. When the drum comes back down the ring is cut. In some cases you wont notice the cut ring.

Step 5: The Valve Body
While youre rebuilding the valve body, there are some things that should become part of your normal rebuild procedure. Flat sand all surfaces of the valve body with 180220 grit sandpaper. Use a machined surface or a thick piece of glass; never use a file. Many of the circuits inside the small channel cover and directly below it are for 3rd gear pressure, making this a very critical area for flatness. Enlarge the 3rd clutch apply orifice to 0.041".

Mazda G4AEL

23 .lare (continued)
The 12 accumulator is commonly overlooked when dealing with a 23 flare. 3rd clutch pressure routes between the two O-rings of the 12 accumulator. During the 23 upshift, the computer turns the 12 shift solenoid off, which exhausts 2nd apply pressure. This computer strategy causes some hard-to-find problems.

A leak at this seal can cause a 23 flare

One of those hard-to-find problems is a 23 flare. This occurs when the 12 shift solenoid hydraulic circuit reacts faster than 23 shift solenoid hydraulic circuit. This releases the band before the 3rd clutch has even begun to apply. This is a difficult problem to identify when its in the vehicle, and impossible to find if someone yanked out the transmission before it was diagnosed properly.

Step 6: The Last Resort

23 .lare (continued)
There is no accurate test for a 23 flare, because the only test that works depends greatly on your judgement. With a 0100 PSI gauge on the 3rd gear pressure tap, monitor how the pressure rises during the very beginning of the flare. If you see about 30 PSI, the problem is usually internal. But if theres 0 PSI at the beginning of the flare, its because the 12 shift valve downshifted quicker than the 23 shift valve. Theres another way you can identify whether a 23 flare is due to a shift valve timing problem or an internal leak: If the 23 flare is caused by an internal leak, it will usually get worse as the transmission gets hot. A 23 flare caused by shift valve timing problems tend to get less noticeable when hot, because the shift solenoids receive more volume as the oil thins out.

While the 23 shift solenoid can cause a 23 flare, its highly unlikely. Dont waste your time and money on a set of new shift solenoids; its very rare to find a bad solenoid. To correct a shift valve timing problem, you can enlarge the 23 solenoid feed hole to 0.041". This will lessen the time the 23 shift valve takes to move after the solenoid closes.

Double Engagement into Reverse


A double engagement into reverse on a G4AEL occurs when the reverse clutches apply before the low/reverse clutches. Because the reverse clutch assembly uses a belliville spring to release the apply piston, clutch clearance should be 0.015"0.020" for a two-friction clutch assembly, and 0.020"0.025" for three-friction clutch assembly. The tight clearances are to make sure the belliville spring doesnt overtravel.

Because reverse clutch clearances are so tight, the low/reverse clutch pack must also maintain a tight clearance. Total clearance on the low/reverse clutch should be 0.030"0.040".

Misdiagnosed Problems
The G4AEL computer never reads actual vehicle speed during normal operation (no codes in memory). Thats because the computer only uses the signal from the output speed sensor if the input speed sensor fails. Instead, the computer calculates vehicle speed from the input RPM, based on the gear command. This works just fine as long as the transmission is working properly. But when internal problems occur, such as forward clutch slip or sticking shift valves, to name a few, the computer can no longer calculate vehicle speed accurately. Whats more, the computer doesnt look for ratio errors. Because of this, many symptoms that may seem to be caused by a computer-commanded electrical problem are actually misdiagnosed or overlooked internal problems. Problems such as 2nd gear starts, 34 shift hunting, shifts 4231, or shifts 134 can be very difficult to diagnose without looking at the signals the computer receives. This chart shows the vehicle speed, based on input RPM and gear range. This will allow you to see what the computer sees. The difference is that you, unlike the computer, are smart enough to recognize a problem when you see it. Well refer to this chart when discussing these types of symptoms.

Computer-Commanded 2nd Gear Starts; .orward Clutch Slip
A computer-commanded 2nd gear start is usually caused by forward clutch slip. If the forward clutch slips while the vehicle is stopped, the computer will assume the vehicle is moving. Remember, the computer calculates vehicle speed from input RPM and gear range: If the forward clutch slips enough, the computer will command second gear.

Quick Verification
Disconnect the input speed sensor (pulse generator) located on top of the case. This will create a code 55, forcing the computer to use the output speed sensor. If the computer now commands 1st gear starts, the problem is a slipping forward clutch.

Shifts 134
Common Cause

Misdiagnosed Problems (continued)

If the computer is commanding 1234 but the transmission is shifting 134, it can only be caused by a leak at the large diameter seal on the 12 accumulator. Since 3rd clutch apply pressure feeds between the two sealing rings on the 12 accumulator, servo apply pressure can only leak past the large diameter ring if 3rd gear apply pressure isnt there to stop the leak. Once in 3rd gear, servo apply pressure doesnt leak.

Quick Verification
Verify the computer is commanding 2nd gear and that 4th gear is good. If so, the problem is a cut 12 accumulator seal.

42 and 43 .lare
Common Cause

Misdiagnosed Problems (continued)

Although a 42 flare is much more common, 42, 43 and 32 flares can all be caused by a worn forward sprag.

Quick Verification
To verify whether the sprag is at fault, disconnect the 34 shift solenoid electrical connector. When the 34 solenoid is off, the coast clutch stays applied in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears, which helps support the forward sprag. Although this wont allow 4th gear, drive the vehicle making several 32 kickdowns. If the flare has improved, the sprag is bad.

Codes, Common Causes and Computer Strategies


Almost every trouble code in every vehicle causes the system to switch to an alternate operating strategy of one form or another. Many of these can be used to your advantage, as long as you can recognize them. Heres a list of common strategies and fixes for the most common transmission-related codes.

Code 06
Definition: VSS (output speed sensor) Sensor Location: Either on the differential, driven directly from the speedometer gears, or inside the speedometer in the dash. How the Code Sets: The computer must see all of these conditions to set a code 06. 1) Receive a Manual D, S, or L signal from the inhibitor switch. 2) Receive a signal from the input speed sensor (pulse generator). 3) Receive no signal from the output speed sensor. Common Causes: Melted speedometer gears, bad wiring, blown dash fuse (in some applications). Causes of False Codes: 1) An inhibitor switch that signals Manual D, S or L while the transmission is actually in neutral or park. Forward clutch slip can easily set this code. 2) When retrieving codes, 6 short flashes represent a code 06 while 6 slightly longer flashes represent a code 60. Most code 06 problems are actually a misread code 60. (This is when knowing computer code strategies can really help you). Computer Strategy: When a code 06 sets, the only action the computer takes is to flash the Hold or Manual light.

Code 12

Codes (continued)
Definition: TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) Sensor Location: Mounted on the side of the throttle body. How the Code Sets: The computer must see one of these conditions to set a code 12. 1) Less than about 0.02 volts 2) More than about 4.8 volts Common Causes: Bad TPS, no 5.0V reference signal from the computer to the TPS, bad ground wire, and bad connections. Causes of False Codes: None Computer Strategy: Very late upshifts.

Code 55

Codes (continued)
Definition: Pulse generator (input speed sensor) Sensor Location: On top of the case, directly in line with the forward drum. How the Code Sets: The computer must see both of these conditions to set a code 55. 1) Signal from the output sensor. 2) No signal from the pulse generator; the minimum AC threshold voltage for the input speed sensor is about 0.5 volts AC. Common Causes: Bad pulse generator, poor connections. Causes of False Codes: Other than coasting downhill with key on, engine off, there are no false codes possible.

Codes (continued)
12 shift solenoid open or shorted circuit. 23 shift solenoid open or shorted circuit. 34 shift solenoid open or shorted circuit. Lockup solenoid open or shorted circuit.

Solenoid Location: On the valve body. How the Code Sets: The computer must see one of these conditions to set a code 60, 61, 62 or 63: 1) Less than 0.20 amps through the solenoid circuit. 2) More than 1.5 amps through the solenoid circuit. Common Causes: Pinched wires inside the transmission, bad section in harness wiring (especially in the area around the battery box), bad connection at the solenoids or at the computer. Causes of False Codes: None Computer Strategy: The computer simply stops using the solenoid that set the code. Solenoids without codes are used normally. This presents some very odd shift complaints as shown below. Code 60: 1st and 3rd gear only. Code 61: Shifts 3434. Code 62: No 4th gear, 23 flare in some cases. Code 63: No lockup. The Fix: Only a few things cause shift solenoid codes. 1) Bad solenoid very uncommon. 2) Bad computer very uncommon. 3) Bad wiring or connections almost every time. The easy fix: run four brand new wires from the computer connector all the way to the shift solenoid connector.

Rebuild Procedures, Technical Tips and Review


1) Stay as far away from internal parts interchange as you can. 2) Always use good quality machined Teflon rings. 3) If you custom cut rings to reduce leaks, use a butt cut instead of a scarf cut.

The Valve Body


1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) Remove all valves. Flat sand each casting. Thoroughly clean all components before reassembly. Enlarge the TV balance to 0.055". Enlarge the TV feed orifice to 0.075". Enlarge the 34 clutch apply orifice to 0.041". Scotchbrite the accumulator bores and install rubber rings. Be careful assembling the accumulators; make sure the square feed passages dont cut the rubber rings. Leave out the checkballs under the thin cover on all applications.

10) Check the TV cam for wear. If its worn, dont worry; a new one is available from Mazda P/N FU01-21-369A. 11) With the exception of the accumulator retaining plates, leave all of the valve body gaskets out. Tests have shown that leaving these gaskets out allows the valve body to maintain its torque, and the valve body wont warp as easily at high temperatures. 12) Torque the valve body bolts to 7080 inch-pounds.

Kill the Hold Mode
When selected, the Hold Mode tells the computer to provide 2nd gear starts and shift into 3rd at a very low speed. In this mode you will also have no kickdown and, if driven long enough, the transmission will likely die. The only usable function is to cancel overdrive. Unfortunately many customers like to use this feature, not realizing what theyre doing to the transmission. During some extensive research, we wanted to see what strategies the fluid temperature switch would cause. It took 2 hours of driving to realize what this switch would do when shorted. It turned the wicked Hold Mode into a sweet OD cancel switch. Whether or not its a secret input created by Mazda engineers (because they hate the Hold Mode too) who cares? Weve tested it on enough models to feel confident that its not a fluke. If you want to turn the Hold Mode into an OD cancel switch, disconnect the fluid temperature switch and short the two wires from the harness connector together.

No Turbine Sensor Signal
Some Mazda R4AELs and Nissan RE4R01As and 3As use a turbine shaft sensor. This sensor accesses the turbine shaft through a hole in the stator support. The turbine shaft used on these models have splines machined into the shaft, which allows the sensor to measure its RPM. If you need to replace the turbine shaft make sure the replacement shaft has the machined splines. The splines are not very large, and are easy to miss. Using a non-machined turbine shaft in an application that uses the sensor will set a no turbine shaft signal code.

Some Mazda R4AELs and Nissan RE4R01As and 3As use a turbine shaft sensor. This sensor accesses the turbine shaft through a hole in the stator support. Using a stator support with an access hole on models that dont use the sensor will prevent the converter from developing the necessary converter charge.

23 .lare
During the 23 shift, the B1 band releases while the K1 clutch engages. If working (mainline) and modulator pressures are normal, and the band adjustment is correct (0.3 mm) you can fix a 23 flare by removing one of the B1 release springs. Both springs are similar in tension, so it doesnt matter which one you remove.

An effective measure against 23 flare problems is to use the self-adjusting servo. The part number for the selfadjusting B1 servo is 124 270 12 32. If you upgrade to the self-adjusting servo you must also use the latermodel servo guide. The part number for the later-style guide is 140 277 08 40.

Self-Adjusting B1 Servo
Starting in 1991, Mercedes used a self-adjusting B1 servo. You may use this servo in any 722.3 5 transmission. But if the unit youre working on already has a self-adjusting servo, you may run into problems reusing the servo. Resetting the self-adjusting servo isnt so easy.

Servo Disassembly
Fully extend the servo: The best way is to put the servo in the case without the servo guide and spring and blast the servo with air. This will move the servo to the fully-applied position, and allow you to release the cover. You dont need to secure the servo with the snap ring to extend the servo; the servo extends just fine without the snap ring.

No 3rd or 4th Gear; Late Shifts
Starting in 1991, Mitsubishi incorporated several temperature-related modified shift strategies. Depending on the model and ATF temperature, the modified strategies range from late shifts, to no 3rd and 4th gear, or simply no 4th gear. If you experience any of these conditions, check the temperature sensor reading with a scan tool and see if its accurate, and if it falls within the specifications detailed in this text.

POWER/ECONO Modes
The POWER or ECONO light on the instrument panel will come on when using these shift modes. ECONO (meaning ECONOmy) is used for most driving situations and provides the best fuel mileage. Pressing the A/T MODE button on the shift indicator puts the transaxle in POWER mode. When in the POWER mode, the transaxle generally stays in lower gears longer before upshifting, and also downshifts more quickly during deceleration.

.uzzy Logic Mode


On F4A transaxles that use fuzzy logic, the transmission control module (TCM) modifies shift timing for smooth shifting when traveling up and down hills. Artificial intelligence is built into the TCM to automatically simulate the natural shift patterns that a driver would use with a manual transmission. The TCM analyzes inputs from the brake switch sensor, throttle position sensor, and vehicle speed sensor. In addition to the normal A/T shift pattern, fuzzy shift controls have multiple shift patterns to suit five different driving conditions: 1. level roads (same as standard A/T mode) 2. uphill at low speeds 3. uphill at high speeds 4. downhill in 3rd gear 5. downhill in 2nd gear When driving uphill in fuzzy logic shift mode, the transaxle will stay in a lower gear range to maintain power instead of hunting between gears. The TCM takes frequent samples of vehicle speed and throttle opening. It compares each sample with a previous sample to know when to prevent upshifts that would detract from climbing performance. When driving downhill, the TCM downshifts to provide engine braking without the driver repeatedly pressing the brake pedal. This automatic downshifting is sometimes experienced even when driving on short, gradual slopes or flat roads. The transaxle wont enter fuzzy logic shift mode if the selector lever is not in D or if the ATF reaches temperatures specified for High Temperature Mode or Low Temperature Mode. Also, the fuzzy logic mode isnt used if the TCM judges the throttle position sensor to be operating improperly, or if the transaxle enters the failsafe mode.

INVECS-II (Intelligent Vehicle Control System II) Mode
Used only on 1997 and later Mirage and Diamante models, INVECS-II shift control operates similar to fuzzy logic. It has an added feature of learning the drivers shift pattern preferences. Shift control patterns are modified to favor the drivers style of driving. For drivers who prefer a vigorous style of driving, the transaxle stays in a lower gear until the engine speed becomes relatively high, to provide a sporty feel. For drivers who prefer a more leisurely driving style, upshifting occurs at lower engine speeds. For drivers who frequently press the brake pedal when driving downhill, the transaxle downshifts earlier than normal. If the battery is disconnected, INVECS-II must relearn the drivers shift pattern preference. For diagnosis, INVECS-II can be disabled with a scan tool, provided the scan tool has the proper software.

High Temperature Mode I
To avoid ATF overheating, the transaxle enters this shift mode when the ATF temperature reaches above 125 C (257 F) at vehicle speeds below 70 KPH (44 MPH). Under these conditions, the transaxle will shift between 1st and 2nd gears only, not into 3rd gear. When the ATF temperature decreases to 110 C (230 F) or below, the transaxle returns to normal shift mode.
N O T IC E

On Eclipse models, the ATF temperature for entering High Temperature Mode I is 115 C (239 F). The transaxle returns to normal shift mode when the ATF temperature is 105 C (221 F) or below.

High Temperature Mode II


To avoid ATF overheating, the transaxle enters this shift mode when the ATF temperature reaches above 125 C (257 F) at vehicle speeds below 65 KPH (40 MPH). Under these conditions, the transaxle will only shift between 2nd and 3rd; not into 4th gear. When the ATF temperature decreases to 110 C (230 F) or below, the transmission returns to normal shift mode.

Low Temperature Mode I


When the ATF temperature reaches 20 C (68 F) and below, upshifts are delayed to compensate for the reduced power that normally accompanies lower operating temperatures. The transmission returns to normal shift mode when the ATF temperature reaches above 20 C (68 F).

Low Temperature Mode II


When the ATF or engine coolant is cold, upshifts between 2nd and 3rd and between 3rd and 4th are delayed to help the catalytic converter warm up more quickly. This condition lasts only one or two minutes after engine startup.

Harsh 12 Shift
A harsh 12 shift is often caused by a shorted servo switch. One of the more common reasons for this is having the wrong E-clip on the servo pin. The proper clip is very narrow. Using a standard clip for a shaft the size of the servo pin will short the switch. The computer uses the servo switch to initiate the shift-feel strategy of the pressure control solenoid. The E-clip isnt available separately; if yours is missing, youll have to purchase a new servo.

Mitsubishi KM Series

No .orward, or .alls out of .orward


A KM-series unit with no forward ranges, or falls out of forward, can be caused by a stuck N-D control valve, or an N-D control valve sleeve that is installed backward. There are other problems that can cause this condition, such as a bad sprag or rear clutch leaks. Heres a simple test to help find the problem: 1. See if the trans goes in gear in manual low. If it still doesnt move forward, suspect a rear clutch leak, such as sealing rings or a missing checkball in the pump body. 2. If the vehicle moves, shift to manual second. If the trans shifts to second, suspect a bad sprag. If the trans binds up, the sprag is in backward. If the trans shifts to second and then quickly falls out of gear, the N-D control valve is either stuck or the sleeve is installed backward.

Repeat Pump Bushing .ailure
There are several possible causes for repeat pump bushing failure. Some of the things you should check are: 1. Proper case ground. The best way to check for a proper ground is to measure the case for voltage. Start the engine and turn a bunch of accessories on. Connect the negative lead of your voltmeter to the negative battery post. Connect the positive lead of your voltmeter to the transmission case.

If you have more than 0.01 volts at the case, add a ground strap. You may also have a poor connection at the negative post of the battery. Make sure the connection is clean and tight. 2. A missing torque converter pilot bushing: The crankshaft has a bushing that works as a pilot for the torque converter. Its not uncommon for this bushing to seize to the converter pilot; when you remove the trans, the pilot comes out with the torque converter. Then, when you install the replacement converter, the crankshaft has no pilot bushing, so the converter mounts off-center. Always make sure the converter you send out for rebuild doesnt have a pilot bushing stuck to it. And more importantly, make sure the bushing is in the crankshaft when you install the transmission.

A problem in the transfer clutch on these units can cause the vehicle to chatter or buck while turning a corner slowly while braking. The computer inputs that can affect transfer clutch operation are: Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) Inhibitor Switch Manual Switch

The transfer clutch is controlled by duty solenoid C. When the solenoid receives a 95% duty cycle signal, the transfer clutch is fully released; at 25% the transfer clutch is fully applied. During failsafe or power loss to the system, the solenoid will put the unit into full time all-wheel drive. Heres how to check the transfer clutch system on these vehicles:

Solenoid C

Step 1: Check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). The procedure for checking trouble codes varies from year to year, and model to model. Always check your shop manual for the proper procedure for the vehicle youre working on. Step 2: Disable the transfer clutch.

Ammeter Electrical test device that measures current flow in a circuit. Displays measurement in amperes, or amps. Amperage Measurement of current flow in a circuit. Amperes; Amps Unit of measurement for reading current flow. Amperage is actually a reading of how many electrons are moving through a circuit at any given moment. One amp is the amount of current that one volt will push through one ohm of resistance. Analog Meter Measurement device that provides readings using a needle, instead of a digital output. Analog meters measure constantly, so the reading you see is the value taking place right now. But analog meters tend to be less accurate than digital meters, and the reading only updates as quickly as the needle can move. B+ Battery power. Closed Circuit A complete electrical path that provides the means for electricity to perform work. A closed circuit allows current to flow from its source, through the resistances, and back to its source. Computer Also controller; microprocessor. Device that provides the commands necessary to operate the engine or transmission, based on inputs from a series of sensors and switches. Controller See Computer. Conventional Electrical Theory Electrical circuit model which indicates

that electrical flow is from positive to negative. More recent studies show that electrons actually flow from negative to positive, but most texts still prefer to use the conventional model. Current Electron flow through a circuit, current is measured in amps. De-energize To turn off, or shut down a circuit or component. Digital On/off signal. A series of pulses that are either on or off, which provide information by varying frequency, or which control a circuit by varying frequency, duty cycle or ontime. Digital Multimeter Also DMM; DVOM; Digital Volt-Ohmmeter. Electrical device that provides measurements of electrical circuits, using a digital display. Digital meters and oscilloscopes read a circuit through sampling; how accurate your measurement is depends on how many samples the meter takes per second. Digital Volt-Ohmmeter See Digital Multimeter. Distributorless Ignition System Also Electronic Ignition. A type of ignition that doesnt use a distributor to provide spark to the cylinders. These systems usually provide spark through a process known as wastespark; a process which provides spark to two cylinders at once. One cylinder fires; the other receives spark on its exhaust stroke that cylinders spark is wasted. Ford uses this term to identify one of its electronic ignition system.

Diode An electrical one-way shutoff valve. A diode is a semiconductor, designed to allow current flow in one direction, but not in the other direction. These devices are commonly used to control the spark that develops when an electromagnetic coil de-energizes, and the magnetic field collapses. Duty Cycle A signal that varies its relationship between on-time and off-time. Duty cycle signals usually control a computer output device, such as an electronic pressure control solenoid: The longer the signal on-time, the longer the solenoid remains open, so the lower mainline pressure becomes. Electrostatic Discharge Electrical potential that releases suddenly; the shock you feel when you touch a doorknob on a dry day is electrostatic discharge. That shock can damage or destroy electronic components. Thats why its important to take precautions wear a static strap, never touch the terminals, etc. when working with electronic devices. Energize To turn on a circuit or component; provide with power and ground, to enable an electrical device to operate. Engine Control Module Also ECM. SAE J-1930 term for a device that controls only engine operation. See also PCM, TCM, Computer. Frequency The number of complete oscillations, or cycles, that occur each second. Measured in Hertz. Ground The return side of an electrical circuit, as defined by the conventional electrical theory. More recent studies show that electrons actually flow in the opposite direction of that shown by conventional theory, but its still the most common model for electrical circuits. Grounded Circuit An electrical circuit failure that keeps the circuit energized all the time, regardless of switch or relay position. Also known as a short-to-ground. Hertz Also Hz. Unit of measurement for frequency; the number of complete cycles that take place in one second. A signal that repeats itself 20 times every second has a frequency of 20 Hertz. High Impedance Having high resistance to electrical flow. Usually used to describe electrical meters. When used to test an electronic circuit, a low impedance meter would affect the characteristics of the circuit. The higher the meters impedance, the less effect it will have on the circuit, so the less change it will make to the circuit operation when connected. Intermittent Taking place in an irregular or unpredictable cycle. An intermittent problem or failure may happen one moment, then not be there the next. Thats why intermittent failures are often difficult to isolate. Light-Emitting Diode Also LED. A semiconductor that lights when energized, much like a light bulb. But, unlike a light bulb, an LED requires very little current, and that current flow must be in a specific direction, or the LED wont light.

Microprocessor See Computer. Ohm Unit of resistance measurement. It takes one volt to push one amp of current through one ohm resistance. Ohmmeter Electrical device for measuring resistance in a circuit or component. Ohms Law Principle that defines the relationship between pressure (voltage), flow (amperage) and resistance (ohms). Ohms x Amps = Volts; Volts Ohms = Amps; Volts Amps = Ohms. Open Circuit An incomplete electrical path that wont provide the means for electricity to perform work. An open circuit prevents current flow, so the circuit wont operate. Oscilloscope An electrical test device that maps voltage changes in a circuit over a specific amount of time. An oscilloscope displays the voltage signal as a picture, to show how voltage changes through the components operating cycle. Parallel Circuit An electrical circuit designed with multiple paths through the circuit, so that not all of the current must pass through all of the loads in the circuit. If one leg of a parallel circuit opens, it wont prevent the other legs from operating. Potentiometer A three-wire sensor that modifies a voltage signal based on movement or position. Potentiometers receive a regulated voltage signal to one end of a resistor, and ground to the other; a wiper slides along the resistor, and picks up the voltage signal, based on its position

along the resistor. Powertrain Control Module Also PCM. SAE J-1930 term for a computer that controls engine and transmission operation. A PCM may also control other systems, including cruise control, A/C system, antilock brakes, etc., but it must control engine and transmission to be called a PCM. See also ECM, TCM. Pulse Generator An AC generator that develops a frequency signal that varies with the rotational speed of an internal transmission component, such as a sun shell, turbine shaft or output ring gear. The computer uses this signal to measure the components RPM. From this, the computer can determine when to shift, when a shift is complete, or if a clutch is slipping. Pulse Width Modulated Also PWM. A signal that varies its relationship between on-time and off-time. Pulse width modulated signals usually control a computer output device, such as an electronic pressure control solenoid: The longer the signal on-time, the longer the solenoid remains open, so the lower mainline pressure becomes. See Duty Cycle. Relay An electrical device that allows a low current circuit to control a high current circuit. Energizing a relay energizes an electromagnet, which opens or closes a set of contacts, to provide power or ground to a circuit that would normally require too much current for the device controlling the circuit.

Resistance The ability of a circuit or device to reduce or limit current flow. Resistor A device that limits or reduces current flow in a circuit. Sensor A device that provides signals to the computer, based on engine or transmission operating conditions. The computer uses these signals to control engine operation more precisely. Serial Data A digital signal from the computer, to communication information with other computers or scan tools. Scan tools can provide the actual sensor readings the computer sees, and outputs from the computer, by interpreting serial data signals. Series Circuit An electrical circuit in which all of the loads are wired end to end, in such a way that forces all of the current passing through the circuit to travel through all of the loads. If one load in a series circuit opens, it will prevent the other loads from operating. Short Circuit An electrical circuit without the resistance necessary to operate properly. Because of this lost resistance, these circuits will often burn up, unless protected by a fuse or circuit breaker. Not to be confused with a grounded circuit. Shrink Tubing An insulating material that shrinks to seal a connection when you apply heat. Solenoid An electrical device that turns electrical signals into movement or work. Solenoids can control lever movement, such as throttle kickers, or can control vacuum or hydraulic flow. The solenoids youll most likely be dealing with open and close to control hydraulic flow, to allow the transmission to shift gears, control lockup, and control line pressure. Thermistor A semiconductor that varies resistance based on temperature. There are two types of thermistor: negative temperature coefficient (NTC) and positive temperature coefficient (PTC). The NTC thermistor is more common as the temperature goes up, its resistance goes down. Transistor A semiconductor that operates as an electronic relay. Transistors allow a low current circuit to control power or ground to a high current circuit. Variable Resistor A one- or two-wire sensor that modifies a voltage signal based on stress or temperature. Thermistors are the most common type of variable resistor in todays cars and trucks. Voltage The pressure in an electrical system, that pushes current through the circuit. One volt of pressure is necessary to push one amp of current through one ohm of resistance. Sometimes called the circuits potential. Voltmeter Electrical test device that measures the voltage potential in a circuit. Displays its reading in volts.
