Using all ofthese input signals the PCM can determine when the time and conclions ar right fora shit, or when to apply or release the TCC til also Getermine the best Ine prossure needed to optimize shi foe. To accomplish this, the PCM uses output solenoid fo control transmission aperaton, The folowing provides a bref description of each of he sensors and actuators used by the PCM for transmission operation. ‘Output Shaft Speed (OSS) Sensor ‘The Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensor is located on the extension housing. The OSS is a Hall-aflect type sensor. The OSS reads the teeth on the park {gear aliferent than the teeth used for PARK function, The. OSS input to tho PCM is used for shit scheduling, tming and TGC operation ane vehicle specd, ‘The OSS has b-sirectional capabiity and has a digial output Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor ‘The ECT sensor is a2.wire trermistor which changes resistance as temperature changes. The resistance of the sensor decreases as engine temperature increases and the vollage sent fo tne PCM increases. The PCM uses ths information to help determine TCC operation, Intake ‘Temperature (IAT) Sensor ‘The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor Is @ thermistor which resistance changes with temperature. The sensor resistance decreases as the temperature increases. The |AT provides air temperature information tothe PCM which 's used fo help determine transmission line pressure and shit scheduling ‘Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor ‘The Accelerator Pedal Postion (APP) sensor is mounted on the accelerator pedal. The APP dotecs the postion ofthe accelerator pedal and inputs this information as a voltage signal fo the PCM. The PCM uses APP sansor information to determine line pressure, shit scheduling and TCC operation. Failure Df this sensor wil cause the transmission to operate at higher Ine pressure to avold damage tothe transmission. This higher Ine pressure causes harsh Upshits ang harsh engagements ‘Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) Sensoriinterme te Shaft Speed Sensor ‘The ISS /ntermeciate shaft speed sensors are a Hall-flect sensor requiring a 12-volt power and a ground.

The TSS fintermeciate shaft speed sensors input tothe PCM is a dita signal and is used to determine Ine pressure, shit scheduling and TCC operation. Brake Pedal Position (BPP) Switch Brake status comes from the Brake Pedal Position (3PP) switch. The BBP switch provides battery voltage to the PCM when the brake pedal is appli. The PCM uses tis input to disengage the TCG , speed contol ana auxiliary ide (f equipped). Pom ‘The operation ofthe transmission is controlled by the PCM. Many input sensors provide information tothe PCM. The PCM then controls actuators which etermine transmission operation. Tow/Maul Switeh ‘The towihaul switch is located on the end ofthe selector lever and is a momentary contact switch. The towhaul switch provides a signal tothe PCM when pressed by the driver, resuling in a change in shift scheduling and TCC operation. When the towihaul switch has besn pressed, the indicator ight Hal's Focatee in the Instrument Cluster (C) wil luminate "Tow/Haul- ON", When the switch is pressed agai, tow/naul will be deactivated and the Transmission Cont!

The PCM may also Nash the TCL ON/OFF to alr the driver that a transmiseson operational eror has occurtes when certain fal In mentored sensors, Solenoids of other transmission components are detected ‘Transmission Solenoid Body Assembly ‘The PCM controls the transmission operation through: hips otechsore deabconnecton com as+ seven VES + a TET sensor + amanual valve. + an overpressurizaion roel valve, All ofthe above components are located on the solencie body. ‘There isa solenoid dedicated to the function of each clutch. Line pressure and TGC each have their own solenoid. Four solenoids are drecly proportional: the pressure output is elect proportional tothe applies DC amps, Three solenoids are Inversely proportional the pressure output Is inversely proportional to the applied DC amps. Solenoids are keyed to prevent misassembly. The tan wire connectors connect tothe solenoids. There are separate connectors forthe TET sensor and for the TR sensor. The 24-pin ransmission hamess connector completes the serviceable harness assembly and has serviceable Oving seals. All ofthe solenoids except the lin pressure solancid can be serviced without remaving the salanoid assembly from the transmission case. The solenoid ‘assembly. which holds the solenoids, is aligned to the transmission case with permanent dowel pins. There i afite-type gasket between the solenoid assembly and the vansmssion case. Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor ‘The TET sensor twist-4ocks into the solenoid body. The TET i a temperature-senstve device called a thermistor. As the TET increases, the TET resistance decreases. The PCM monitors tne vollage across the TET seneor to determine TET The PCM uses the TPT signal as an input to determine old and hot temperature, sit scheduling and TCC operation Line Pressure Control Solenoid A (PCA) ‘The line Pressure Contol Solenoid A (PCA) isan inversely proportional 3-por device, The pressure outputs inversely proportional tothe applied DC amps supplied trough an electronically controlled driver, which varies the curent between O and’t amp rom the PCM. The PCA controls the line pressure cuits Torque Converter Clutch (TEC) Solenoid ‘The TCC solenci is a directly proportional VES .
