• automatic shifts.
• apply and release of the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC).
• maximum fuel economy during normal operation.
Third Position — 3rd Gear

This position provides:
• third gear start and hold.

• improved traction and engine braking on slippery roads.
Second Position — 2nd Gear

If this position is selected at higher speeds, the transmission will downshift into a lower gear, and will downshift into 2nd gear after the vehicle decelerates to
the correct speed. The transmission will not downshift if it will cause an engine over-speed condition.
• second gear start and hold.

• improved traction and engine braking on slippery roads.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
First Position — Manual Low Gear

If this position is selected at higher speeds, the transmission will downshift into a lower gear, and will downshift into 1st gear after the vehicle decelerates to
the correct speed. The transmission will not downshift if it will cause an engine over-speed condition.
• first gear operation only.

• engine braking for descending steep grades.
Tow/Haul
The tow/haul feature was designed to assist the vehicle when towing a trailer or a heavy load. All transmission gear ranges, including all 5 forward gears, are
available when using the tow/haul feature.
The tow/haul function is activated and deactivated through a switch located on the end of the selector lever. The indicator light that is located in the
Instrument Cluster (IC) will illuminate when the tow/haul is activated and will go off when deactivated.
With the tow/haul activated, the transmission will have the following features:
• Shifts will occur at higher vehicle speeds for a given Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) to improve vehicle acceleration, reduce excessive shifting and
increase the coast braking capability.
• The torque converter will lock up at lower vehicle speeds than normal with a given APP to improve transmission cooling and efficiency.
• Upshifts are temporarily delayed while decreasing APP during hill cresting to reduce excessive transmission shifting and to prepare for a possible

grade braking downshift event.
• Engine braking is provided in all forward gears without the requirement of moving the selector lever.
• Manual 1, 2 or 3 will still be available.
• Grade braking downshift feature provides increased coast braking automatically to assist driver in maintaining desired speed while descending a grade.
This reduces duty cycle on the brake system and increases brake pad longevity.
• Grade braking downshifts are automatically commanded when:
— positive vehicle acceleration is sensed (natural acceleration from grade descent).
— a near zero APP is obtained.
— a minimum amount of time has expired since the last grade braking downshift.
• Grade braking downshift mode is immediately exited should the tow/haul mode be deactivated or if the accelerator pedal is pressed beyond a minimum
threshold.

Shift Patterns
The vehicle is equipped with adaptive shift strategy. Whenever the battery has been disconnected for any type of service or repair, the strategy parameters
stored in keep alive memory will be lost. The strategy will start or relearn once the battery is reconnected and the vehicle is driven. This is a temporary
condition and normal operating mode will be resumed once the PCM relearns all the parameters from the driving conditions. There is no set time frame for
this process.
The customer must be notified that they may experience slightly firm upshifts, delayed or early shifts. This operation is considered normal and will not affect
the function or durability of the transmission. As the PCM relearns, this temporary condition will be replaced by normal operating condition.
The transmission upshifts and downshifts are firmer with tow/haul ON than when tow/haul is OFF.
Upshifts
Transmission upshifting is controlled by the PCM. The PCM receives inputs from various engine or vehicle sensors and driver demands to control shift
scheduling, shift feel and Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) operation.
Downshifts
Under certain conditions the transmission will downshift automatically to a lower gear range (without moving the transmission selector lever). There are 4
categories of automatic downshifts; Coastdown, Torque Demand, Forced or Kickdown shifts and grade braking.
Coastdown
cardiagn.com
The coastdown downshift occurs when the vehicle is coasting down to a stop.
Torque Demand
The torque demand downshift occurs (automatically) during part throttle acceleration when the demand for torque is greater than the engine can provide at
that gear ratio.
Kickdown
For maximum acceleration, the driver can force a downshift by pressing the accelerator pedal to the floor. A forced downshift into a lower gear is possible
below calibrated speeds. Specifications for downshift speeds are subject to variations due to tire size, engine and transmission calibration requirements.
Grade Braking
During tow/haul operation, depending on conditions, automatically scheduled downshifts may occur to increase the level of engine braking, particularly on
down grades.

Torque Converter
The torque converter transmits and multiplies torque. The torque converter is a device which includes 4 elements:
• The impeller assembly

• The turbine assembly
• The reactor stator assembly
• The clutch and damper assembly
The standard torque converter components operate as follows:
• Rotation of the converter housing and impeller set the fluid in motion.
• The turbine reacts to the transmission fluid motion from the impeller, transferring rotation to the geartrain through the input shaft.
• The reactor stator redirects transmission fluid going back into the impeller, providing for torque multiplication.
• The clutch and damper assembly dampens powertrain torsional vibration and provides a direct mechanical connection for improved efficiency.
• Power is transmitted from the torque converter to the planetary gearsets and other components through the input shaft.

a Special operating strategy is enabled when transmission temperature is less than -15°C (5°F)
Input Shaft
The input shaft is supported by 2 bushings in the stator support. End positioning of the input shaft is controlled by the splines in the converter turbine and the
overdrive planet assembly.
Output Shaft
The output shaft is supported by a press fit radial bearing in the extension housing. It is positioned by a bushing in the forward clutch cylinder, which in turn
is positioned by the case center support and the center shaft.
Overdrive and Coast Clutch System

The overdrive (OD) and coast clutch system consists of the following:
• OD friction clutch assembly

• Coast clutch cylinder
• Overdrive sun gear
• Coast clutch input hub
• Coast clutch friction clutch assembly
• OD planetary
• OD ring gear
• Center shaft
The OD clutch piston has bonded lip seals. It is installed into the piston bore, cast into the pump and held in place by the return spring. The return spring is
attached to the pump with 3 bolts. The OD clutch separator plates and pressure plate are splined to the case. The 3 OD friction plates are splined to the coast
clutch cylinder. The OD clutch assembly is positioned between the pump face and a snap ring, and installed into the case adjacent to the OD pressure plate.
The OD sun gear is pressed into the coast clutch cylinder.
The coast clutch piston is also a bonded lip seal type. The coast clutch piston is installed into the coast clutch cylinder and held to the cylinder along with the
clutch return spring by a snap ring. The separator plates are splined to the case.
The coast clutch pressure plate is a mechanical diode one-way clutch (OWC) assembly. The OWC is splined to the coast clutch cylinder and held in with a
snap ring. The coast clutch friction plates are internally splined to the coast clutch hub, which is held to the OD carrier by 4 bolts. Absorbing the load
between the OD carrier and the OD sun gear is the "captured" thrust bearing, part of the OD planet assembly.
On the opposite side of the OD planet is a thrust bearing positioned between the carrier and the shaft. The OD ring gear is splined to the center shaft and
retained by a snap ring. On the opposite side of the center shaft is a thrust bearing that separates it from the center support. The overdrive/coast clutch system
is driven clockwise by the input shaft, one end of which is splined to the torque converter cover, and the other end is splined to the OD carrier.
Center Support and Intermediate Clutch

The center support is rigidly held to the case by a tapered snap ring. The flat side faces toward the center support and the gap at 6 o'clock. The center support
is also retained to the case by 2 hollow feed bolts. Both the forward clutch feed bolt and the intermediate clutch feed bolt are installed through the solenoid
body worm trail of the case. The forward feed bolt has an orifice plug installed on top of the bolt head.
2008 F-250, 350, 450, 550 Super Duty, 7/2007

The center support acts as the intermediate clutch cylinder piston bore, and also provides the snap ring groove to retain the bonded seal type intermediate
clutch piston and the return spring. A black phenolic thrust washer is positioned by its 2 tabs into 2 holes in the center support. A seal pack containing 2
Teflon® seals is pressed onto the center support hub below a pressed-on steel sleeve. The sleeve acts as the journal for the direct clutch cylinder bushings.
The intermediate clutch separator plates and pressure plate are externally splined to the case and the friction is internally splined to the direct clutch cylinder.
The case and the center support define and limit the stroke of the intermediate clutch.
Forward Drive System

The forward drive system consists of the following:
• Direct clutch assembly

• Forward clutch assembly
• Forward ring gear
• Forward planetary assembly
• Forward/reverse input shell assembly
The direct clutch grobbed cylinder contains the following:
• A bonded lip seal piston

• A direct clutch return spring
• A direct clutch bonded lip seal balance piston
cardiagn.com
These components are held in place by a snap ring to the direct clutch cylinder.
The direct clutch separator plates and pressure plate are splined to the direct clutch cylinder and held by a snap ring. The direct clutch friction internally
splined plates mate with the grobbed splines on the forward clutch cylinder. The forward clutch has a bonded lip seal piston, a beveled design return spring
and a bonded lip seal balance piston which are held to the cylinder with a snap ring.
The forward clutch cushion wave spring is splined to the cylinder, as are the separator plates and pressure plate and are held together with a selective snap
ring. The forward clutch friction plate is splined to the forward ring gear.
Positioned on the center support hub is a thrust bearing to locate the forward clutch cylinder. There is a thrust bearing positioned between the direct clutch
cylinder and the forward clutch cylinder. There is also a thrust bearing positioned between the forward clutch cylinder and the forward ring gear; and
between the forward planet and the forward clutch cylinder. There is a thrust washer separating the forward carrier from the forward ring gear hub. The 6
gear forward planet has a black, phenolic lube dam which snaps onto the rear of the carrier body. Into the center of the input shell is the forward/reverse sun
gear positioned by a spacer and held in place by a retaining ring.
Low and Reverse Drive System

The low and reverse drive system consists of the following:
• Reverse side of the forward/reverse sun gear

• Reverse planet assembly
• Reverse ring gear and hub assembly
The reverse ring gear and output shaft hub assemblies are splined to the output shaft. The reverse bonded lip seal piston installs into the case. The return
spring is held to the case by a snap ring.
The reverse separator plates are splined to the case, and the friction plates are splined to the reverse carrier. The pressure plate is combined with a
mechanical diode one-way clutch (OWC), which is splined to the case and held in with a snap ring. There is a thrust bearing located between the case and
the output shaft hub; and between the output shaft hub and the reverse sun gear. Located on both sides of the reverse carrier are white, phenolic thrust
washers (4-tabbed).

Apply Components
The following information describes the operation of the 2 one-way clutches (OWC).
Overdrive One-Way Clutch (OWC) Mechanical Diode

The overdrive OWC mechanical diode is a OWC which also acts as the coast clutch pressure plate. It provides direct drive through the overdrive gearset
when in power ON mode. It overruns in power OFF mode or when the overdrive clutch is applied.
Engine torque is transmitted in 1st, 3rd and 5th gears while the selector lever is in the (D) position. The input shaft drives the overdrive carrier clockwise.
The overdrive carrier has the coast clutch hub bolted to it which also turns clockwise. The overdrive sun gear would turn counterclockwise, but is held from
turning by the coast clutch mechanical diode. The input shaft turns the same speed as the center shaft and transmits torque through it.
In 2nd, 4th and 6th gears, the overdrive clutch is applied, the mechanical diode overruns and holds the overdrive sun gear fixed to the case. This causes the
overdrive planet to walk around the sun gear and over-drive the overdrive ring gear.
Mechanical diodes are model dependent. The higher rpm of the gasoline engines require a mechanical diode unique from that used on higher torque diesel
engines.

2 — Overdrive one-way outer race (stationary)
3 — Counterclockwise rotation
4 — Julian date
Low/Reverse Mechanical Diode

The low/reverse clutch mechanical diode is a OWC which also functions as the low/reverse clutch pressure plate. The low/reverse mechanical diode has
fewer external splines than the coast clutch mechanical diode. The low/reverse mechanical diode external splines mate with the case and the internal splines
mate with the reverse ring gear/reverse planet assembly.
In 1st and 2nd gears, the center shaft drives the forward cylinder clockwise. The forward clutch is applied and holds the forward ring gear, driving it
clockwise. The forward planet provides a counterclockwise resisting torque and the forward/reverse sun gear is driven counterclockwise. The low reverse
clutch is released. The low/reverse mechanical diode holds the reverse planet carrier body and allows the forward/reverse sun gear to drive the reverse planet
gears which in turn drive the output shaft ring gear and hub assembly. The forward planet and output shaft hub are both splined to the output shaft.
Mechanical diodes are model dependent. The higher rpm of the gasoline engines require a mechanical diode unique from that used on higher torque diesel
engines.

Hydraulic System
Fluid Pump
This transmission has a gear-type pump that supplies fluid under pressure to the hydraulic system.
The torque converter impeller hub rotates the drive gear of the pump.
Filter
Fluid is drawn from the transmission pan by the pump through the filter. The filter and its accompanying seal are part of the fluid path from the sump (pan)
to the pump
Remote Fluid Filter — Early Build Vehicles
cardiagn.com
Early build transmissions are equipped with a remote mount transmission fluid filter. Most of the transmission fluid which leaves the front fluid cooler tube
connector passes through the remote filter and is directed into the cooling circuit. The remote filter manifold by-passes the filter element and takes 10% of
the incoming hot fluid and directs it through a small orifice and into a serviceable filter. The filtered transmission fluid is then directed back into the rear
lubrication circuit through the larger opening in the remote filter manifold. A clogged remote filter element will by-pass, allowing 95% transmission fluid
flow.
Late Build Vehicles
Late build transmissions do not have a remote mount transmission fluid filter. The remote filter and previous design sump filter are both replaced by a high
efficiency sump filter (HESF). The HESF is designed to trap smaller contaminants to help prevent solenoid sticking issues. Because the HESF requires
2008 F-250, 350, 450, 550 Super Duty, 7/2007

replacement less often (96,000 km [60,000 mi] intervals) than the remote mount filter, only the automatic transmission fluid lost when installing a new
design sump filter must be replaced. Refer to Transmission Fluid Drain and Refill — Without Torque Converter Drain Plug and With Fluid Pan Drain Plug
in this section.
Power Take-Off (PTO)
NOTE:
Failure to install the wire from the PCM pin 322 to pin 294 will result in low line pressure leading to power take-off (PTO) and transmission failure.
Some of these vehicle may be equipped with a PTO. During stationary operation in PARK or NEUTRAL, the torque converter is locked up when the PTO is
ON and the engine operates at 1200 rpm. The following schedule shows expected rpm and line pressure while driving with the PTO in use.
RPM Line Pressure

625 552 kPa (80 psi)
800 690 kPa (100 psi)
1,000 1,034 kPa (150 psi)

Transmission Electronic Control System
Electronic System Description
Transmission shift scheduling relies on the following:
• Accelerator Pedal Position (APP)

• Engine rpm and acceleration
• Vehicle speed and acceleration
• Engine torque
• Torque converter state as defined by engine rpm
• Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS)
• Transmission Range (TR) sensor position
• Brake Pedal Position (BPP) status
• Speed control status
• Tow/haul switch status
• Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT)
• Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
• Power Take-Off (PTO) engaged signal
cardiagn.com
• Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) Low status
The PCM and its input/output network control the following transmission operations:
• Variable Force Solenoid (VFS) (shift feel)

• Shift timing
• Line pressure (engagement feel)
• Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) operation
The transmission control is separate from the engine control strategy in the PCM, although some of the input signals are shared. When determining the best
operating strategy for transmission operation, the PCM uses input information from certain engine-related and driver demand-related sensors and switches.
The following components are used to determine engine torque information for the transmission control strategies:
• Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor

• Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor
• Barometric Pressure (BARO) sensor
• Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor
• Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor
• Engine Oil Temperature (EOT) sensor
• A/C pressure switch
• EGR valve
• Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR)
• Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor
Any concerns with the engine sensors must be diagnosed and repaired before proceeding with diagnosis of the transmission components. Refer to the
Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual for engine component diagnosis.
Using all of these input signals, the PCM can determine when the time and conditions are right for a shift, or when to apply or release the TCC. It will also
determine the best line pressure needed to optimize shift feel. To accomplish this, the PCM uses output solenoids to control transmission operation.
The following provides a brief description of each of the sensors and actuators used by the PCM for transmission operation.
Output Shaft Speed (OSS) Sensor

The transmission Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensor is located on the extension housing. The OSS is a Hall-effect type sensor. The OSS reads the gear teeth
on the park gear, which are different than the teeth used for park function. The OSS input to the PCM is used for shift scheduling, TCC operation and vehicle
speed. The OSS has bi-directional capability and has a digital output.
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor

The ECT sensor is a 2-wire thermistor which changes resistance as temperature changes. The resistance of the sensor increases as engine temperature
decreases and the voltage measured by the PCM increases. The PCM uses this information to determine TCC operation.
2008 F-250, 350, 450, 550 Super Duty, 7/2007

Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor

The IAT sensor is a thermistor which changes resistance as temperature changes. The resistance of the sensor decreases as the air temperature increases. The
IAT provides air temperature information to the PCM which is used to determine transmission line pressure and shift scheduling.
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor

The APP sensor is mounted on the accelerator pedal on diesel applications. The APP detects the position of the accelerator pedal and inputs this information
as a voltage signal to the PCM. The PCM uses APP sensor information in determining line pressure, shift scheduling and TCC operation. Failure of this
sensor will cause the transmission to operate at high line pressure to avoid damage to the transmission. This high line pressure causes harsh upshifts and
harsh engagements.
TSS Sensor and Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor

The TSS and intermediate shaft speed sensors are both Hall-effect sensors requiring ignition voltage and a ground. The other 2 terminals at the sensor are for
TSS/intermediate shaft speed sensor signal output. The TSS sensor detects teeth on the coast clutch input hub and the intermediate shaft speed sensor detects
teeth on the adjacent Overdrive (O/D) ring gear. Both read 30 teeth per revolution. The TSS and intermediate shaft speed sensors are mounted externally on
the transmission case toward the top on the driver's side. The TSS and intermediate shaft speed sensors input to the PCM is digital and is used to determine
line pressure, shift scheduling, timing and TCC operation.
Brake Pedal Position (BPP) Switch

Brake status comes from the BPP switch. The BPP sensor applies battery voltage to the PCM when the brake pedal is applied. The PCM uses this input to
disengage the TCC, speed control and auxiliary idle (if equipped).
Powertrain Control Module
cardiagn.com
The operation of the transmission is controlled by the PCM. Various sensors provide information to the PCM. The PCM controls actuators which determine
transmission operation.
Transmission Control Switch (TCS)

Tow/Haul (Diesel Engine Vehicles)
The tow/haul switch is a momentary contact switch located on the end of the selector lever. When pressed, the Tow/Haul switch sends a signal to the PCM.
The PCM makes changes in shift scheduling and TCC operation.
When tow/haul mode is activated, the following occurs:
• All forward gears are available.

• Shifts occur at higher vehicle speeds to improve vehicle acceleration, reduce shift frequency and increase coast braking capability.
• TCC is applied at lower vehicle speeds to improve transmission cooling and efficiency.
• Upshifts are temporarily delayed during hill cresting to reduce transmission ratio hunting and to prepare for possible downshifts while descending a
grade.
• Engine braking is provided in all forward gear positions, D, 3, 2 and 1.
• A PCM strategy, known as grade braking downshift automatically provides increased coast braking to assist the driver in maintaining a desired
vehicle speed while descending a grade.
Default is tow/haul OFF.
Transmission Control Indicator Lamp (TCIL)

Tow/Haul (Diesel Engine Vehicles)
When the tow/haul switch is pressed, the Transmission Control Indicator Lamp (TCIL), located in the Instrument Cluster (IC), will illuminate the graphics
"Tow/Haul ON." Operation of the TCIL is controlled by the PCM to alert the driver that tow/haul mode has been activated. Pressing the TCS again will turn
off the TCIL. Turning off the engine will return the TCIL to the default position (Tow/Haul OFF).
The PCM may command steady illumination of the TCIL if certain faults are detected in monitored sensors, solenoids or apply components.
Transmission Control Switch (TCS)

Overdrive (O/D) OFF (Gasoline Engine Vehicles)
The O/D OFF Transmission Control Switch (TCS) is a momentary contact switch located on the end of the selector lever which is used along with the O/D
OFF indicator lamp. When pressed, the O/D OFF switch sends a signal to the PCM to only allow automatic upshifts that include 5th gear. O/D or 6th gear, is
disabled during O/D OFF mode. Pressing the O/D OFF button again restores automatic upshifts from 1st through 6th gears.
Transmission Control Indicator Lamp (TCIL)

Overdrive (O/D) OFF (Gasoline Engine Vehicles)
When the O/D OFF switch is pressed, the TCIL, located in the IC, will illuminate the graphics O/D OFF. Operation of the TCIL is controlled by the PCM to
alert the driver that O/D OFF mode has been activated. Pressing the TCS again will turn off the TCIL and restore automatic upshifts, gears 1 through 6.
Turning off the engine will return the TCIL to the default position and automatic upshifts, all forward gears 1 through 6 will be available.
2008 F-250, 350, 450, 550 Super Duty, 7/2007

The PCM may command steady illumination of the TCIL if certain faults are detected in monitored sensors, solenoids or apply components.
Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) Low Switch

The 4WD Low switch sends a ground signal to the IC when the vehicle is in 4WD Low. The PCM then receives 4WD Low status from the IC and adjusts
the transmission shift schedule accordingly.
Transmission Solenoid Body Assembly

The PCM controls the transmission operation through:
• seven VFS.
• a TFT sensor.
• a manual valve.
• an over-pressurization relief valve.
All of the above components are located on the solenoid body.
There is a solenoid dedicated to the function of each clutch. Line pressure and the TCC each have their own solenoid. Four solenoids are directly
proportional; the pressure output is directly proportional to the applied direct current. Three solenoids are inversely proportional; the pressure output is
inversely proportional to the applied direct current.
Solenoids are keyed to prevent misassembly. The tan wire connectors connect to the solenoids. There are separate connectors for the TFT sensor and for the
cardiagn.com
TR switch. The 24-pin connector completes the serviceable harness assembly and has serviceable O-ring seals.
All of the solenoids except the line pressure solenoid can be serviced without removing the solenoid assembly from the transmission case. The solenoid
assembly, which holds the solenoids, is aligned to the transmission case with permanent dowel pins. There is a filter-type gasket between the solenoid
assembly and the transmission case.
Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor

The TFT sensor twist-locks into the solenoid body. The TFT is a temperature-sensitive device called a thermistor. As the TFT rises, the TFT sensor
resistance decreases. The PCM monitors the voltage across the TFT sensor to determine TFT. The PCM uses the TFT signal as an input to determine cold
and hot temperature shift scheduling and TCC operation.
Pressure Control Solenoid A (PCA)

The Pressure Control Solenoid A (PCA) is an inversely proportional 3-port device. The pressure output is inversely proportional to the applied direct current
supplied through an electronically controlled driver, which varies the current between 0 and 1 amp from the PCM. The PCA solenoid controls the line
pressure circuits.
Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Solenoid

The TCC solenoid is a directly proportional VFS. The pressure output of this 3-port device is proportional to the applied direct current supplied through an
electronically controlled driver which varies the current between 0 and 1 amp from the PCM.
Shift Solenoid Pressure Control Solenoids

The intermediate Shift Solenoid Pressure Control C (SSPCC), low/reverse Shift Solenoid Pressure Control E (SSPCE) and O/D Shift Solenoid Pressure
Control B (SSPCB) clutches are each controlled by a directly proportional VFS. The coast Shift Solenoid Pressure Control A (SSPCA) and the direct clutch
Shift Solenoid Pressure Control D (SSPCD) are each controlled by an inversely proportional VFS. All shift pressure solenoids are electronically controlled
by the PCM which varies the current from 0 to 1 amp (direct proportional) or 1 to 0 amp (indirectly proportional).
Line Pressure Relief Valve

The solenoid body assembly contains an over-pressurization relief valve that will limit the line pressure through the PCA and feedback to the pump main
regulator valve. The line pressure relief valve controls line pressure spikes when cold. If this valve fails, concerns with the filter found in the solenoid body
assembly may be seen.
Transmission Range (TR) Sensor Assembly

The TR sensor assembly is an internally mounted sensor that includes the detent spring, rooster comb and bracket, located next to the solenoid body. The
components of the TR sensor are factory adjusted to each other and the TR sensor must be installed as a calibrated assembly. The TR sensor contains
electronic circuitry that provides the PCM a fixed frequency duty cycle for each of the various positions of the manual lever (PARK, REVERSE,
NEUTRAL, (D), M3, M2 and M1) to the PCM. The PCM uses the TR sensor signal for engine start, reverse lamps and for line pressure control, shift
scheduling and TCC operation.
Power Take-Off (PTO)

Some of these vehicle may be equipped with a PTO. During stationary operation in PARK or NEUTRAL, the torque converter is locked up when the PTO is
ON and the engine operates at 1200 rpm. The following schedule shows expected engine rpm and line pressure while driving with the PTO in use.

Check Transmission Fluid Level and Condition

Transmission Fluid Level Check
NOTICE:
Do not drive the vehicle if the transmission fluid level indicator shows the transmission fluid below the DO NOT DRIVE mark or internal
transmission failure could result.
NOTE:
If the vehicle has been operated for an extended period of time at highway speeds, in city traffic, in hot weather or while pulling a trailer, allow the
transmission fluid to cool down to obtain an accurate reading.
NOTE:
The transmission fluid may be checked in the cold temperature range if the ambient temperature is between 10°-32°C (50°-90°F). Checking the transmission
fluid level using the cold range will indicate that the vehicle has sufficient transmission fluid to be driven. Adding transmission fluid using the cold range
may result in an over full condition when the vehicle reaches normal operating temperature. Transmission fluid level must be checked while in the normal
operating range of 66°-77°C (151°-171°F).
2008 F-250, 350, 450, 550 Super Duty, 7/2007

Check the transmission fluid level during normal maintenance. If the transmission starts to slip, shifts slowly or shows signs of leaking, check the
transmission fluid level.
1. Drive the vehicle 32 km (20 mi) or until the vehicle reaches normal operating temperatures.
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface and apply the park brake.
3. With the park brake applied and one foot on the brake pedal, start the engine and move the selector lever through all the gear ranges. Allow sufficient
time for each gear to engage.
4. Place the selector lever in PARK and leave the engine running.
5. Remove the transmission fluid level indicator and wipe it clean with a lint free cloth.
6. Install the transmission fluid level indicator until it is fully seated into the transmission fluid filler tube.
7. Remove the transmission fluid level indicator and inspect the transmission fluid level. The transmission fluid level should be in the designated area for
normal and room temperature.
cardiagn.com
Item Description
1 Cold temperature range
2 Normal operating temperature range
3 DO NOT DRIVE IF BELOW THIS LEVEL AND OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE 10°C (50°F)
(Underfill). Recheck transmission fluid level at normal operating temperature and adjust as required.
4 DO NOT DRIVE LEVEL (Overfill). Remove excess transmission fluid. Recheck transmission fluid level at normal
operating temperature and adjust as required.
High Transmission Fluid Level

Transmission fluid level that is too high may cause the transmission fluid to become aerated due to the churning action of the rotating internal parts. This
will cause erratic control pressure, foaming, loss of transmission fluid from the vent tube and possible transmission malfunction or damage. If an overfill
reading is indicated, refer to Transmission Fluid Drain and Refill — Without Torque Converter Drain Plug and With Fluid Pan Drain Plug in this section.
Low Transmission Fluid Level
NOTICE:
Do not drive the vehicle if the transmission fluid level indicator shows the transmission fluid below the DO NOT DRIVE mark or internal
transmission failure could result.
Low transmission fluid level could result in poor transmission engagement, slipping, malfunction and/or damage. This could also indicate a leak in one of
the transmission seals or gaskets.
Adding Transmission Fluid
NOTICE:
The use of any type of transmission fluid other than specified could result in transmission failure.
If transmission fluid needs to be added, add transmission fluid in 0.25L (1/2 pt) increments through the transmission fluid filler tube. Do not overfill the
transmission fluid. For transmission fluid type refer to Material chart in this section.
Transmission Fluid Condition Check

1. Check the transmission fluid level.
2008 F-250, 350, 450, 550 Super Duty, 7/2007

2. Hold the transmission fluid level indicator over a white facial tissue and allow the transmission fluid to drop onto the facial tissue and examine the
stain.
3. Observe the color and the odor.
4. If evidence of solid material is found, remove the transmission fluid pan for further inspection.
5. If the stain is a foamy pink color, this may indicate coolant in the transmission. Inspect the engine cooling system at this time.
6. If transmission fluid contamination or transmission failure is confirmed by the sediment in the bottom of the transmission fluid pan, disassemble and
thoroughly clean the transmission, including the torque converter, transmission fluid coolers and transmission fluid cooler tubes.
7. Carry out diagnostic checks and adjustments. Refer to Diagnosis By Symptom in this section.
Water in Transmission Fluid

To correctly repair an automatic transmission that has had water or coolant introduced into the system, completely disassemble, clean and/or replace the
following parts:
• All internal and external seals

• All clutches
• Torque converter
• All parts with bonded seals
• All solenoids
• All transmission fluid filters
cardiagn.com
Prior to installing the transmission, the transmission fluid cooler(s), transmission fluid cooler tubes and transmission fluid cooler hoses need to be flushed
and cleaned.

Visual Inspection
A visual inspection identifies modifications or additions to the vehicle operating system that may affect diagnosis.
Inspect vehicle for non-Ford approved add-on devices such as:
• Electronic add-on items

• Vehicle modifications
These items, if not installed correctly, affect PCM or transmission function. Pay particular attention to add-on wiring splices in the PCM harness or
transmission wiring harness, abnormal tire size or axle ratio changes.
Selector Lever Linkage Check

Check for a misadjustment in selector lever linkage by matching the detents in the selector lever with those in the transmission.
If the selector lever cable is not adjusted correctly, hydraulic leakage at the manual control valve can cause delay in engagements and/or slipping while
operating. Refer to Section 307-05 for Selector Lever Cable Adjustment.
Check TSBs
Refer to all TSBs pertaining to the transmission concerns, and follow the procedure as outlined.

• verify the ignition is in the ON position.
• verify scan tool operation with a known good vehicle.
• refer to Section 418-00 to diagnosis no response from the PCM.
4. Carry out the network test. If the scan tool responds with no communication from one or more modules, refer to Section 418-00. If the network test
passes, read and record the continuous memory DTCs.
5. Clear the continuous DTCs and carry out the PCM self-test.
6. If DTCs are related to the concern, go to the DTC Chart in this section.
7. If DTCs are not related to the concern, refer to Diagnosis By Symptom in this section.

Transmission Drive Cycle Test
Special Tool(s)
NOTE:
NOTE:
Always drive the vehicle in a safe manner according to driving conditions and obey all traffic laws.
cardiagn.com
NOTE:
Follow the Transmission Drive Cycle Test exactly. Malfunctions must occur 4 times consecutively for the shift error DTC to set. Torque converter failures
must occur 5 times consecutively for a continuous DTC to set.
NOTE:
When carrying out the Transmission Drive Cycle Test, refer to the Solenoid Operation Chart for correct solenoid operation.
After carrying out the self-test, use the Transmission Drive Cycle Test for checking continuous codes.
1. Record and then clear the self-test DTCs.

2. Warm the engine to normal operating temperature.
3. Make sure the transmission fluid level is correct.
4. With the selector lever in (D), moderately accelerate from stop to 80 km/h (50 mph). This allows the transmission to shift into 6th gear. Hold the
vehicle speed and throttle position steady for a minimum of 15 seconds.
5. With the transmission in 6th gear and a steady vehicle speed and throttle position, lightly apply and release the brake pedal enough to operate the stop
lamps. Hold the vehicle speed and throttle position steady for a minimum of 15 seconds.
6. Brake to a stop and remain stopped for a minimum of 20 seconds.
7. Repeat Steps 4 through 6 at least 5 times.
8. Carry out the self-test and record the continuous codes.
After On-Board Diagnostic (OBD)
NOTE:
The vehicle wiring harness, PCM and non-transmission sensors can affect transmission operations. Repair these concerns first.
After the OBD procedures are completed, repair all DTCs.
Always repair all non-transmission related DTCs first, then repair any transmission related DTCs. Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Charts for
information on condition and symptoms. This chart is helpful in referring to the correct manual(s) and to aid in diagnosing internal transmission concerns
and external non-transmission inputs. Use the pinpoint tests to diagnosis transmission electrical concerns. Make sure the vehicle wiring harness and the PCM
are diagnosed as well. The Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual aids in diagnosing non-transmission related electronic components.
Before Pinpoint Tests
NOTE:
Prior to starting pinpoint tests, check the PCM wiring harness for correct connections, bent or broken terminals, corrosion, loose wires, correct routing,
correct seals and their condition. Check the PCM, sensors and actuators for damage. Refer to the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual.
NOTE:
If a concern still exists after electrical diagnosis has been carried out, refer to Diagnosis By Symptom in this section.
2008 F-250, 350, 450, 550 Super Duty, 7/2007

If DTCs appear while carrying out the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) test, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Charts for the appropriate procedure. Prior
to starting pinpoint tests, refer to any TSBs for transmission concerns.

NOTE:
If equipped, turn the power take-off (PTO) unit off for correct test results. For a description of PTO operation, refer to Transmission Electronic Control
System in this section. On-Board Diagnostic is not accessible when the PTO unit is in operation. Shift solenoid B (SSB) is on when the PTO is in operation.
NOTE:
The PTO may operate in any gear including PARK and NEUTRAL and does not require the overdrive (OD) one-way clutch (OWC). The torque converter
clutch (TCC) may engage in PARK and NEUTRAL with PTO engaged.
Any time an electrical connector or solenoid body is disconnected, inspect the connector for terminal condition, corrosion and contamination. Also inspect
the connector seal for damage. Clean, repair or install a new connector as required.

Carry out the Line Pressure Test prior to carrying out the Stall Speed Test. If line pressure is low at stall, do not carry out the Stall Speed Test or
additional transmission damage will occur. Do not maintain Wide Open Throttle (WOT) in any transmission range for more than 5 seconds or
transmission damage may occur.
NOTE:
Certain sensor failures may cause high control pressure and Failure Mode Effect Management actions. Make sure that On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) and
electrical repairs have been carried out or test results may be incorrect.
This test verifies the line pressure is within specifications.
1. Connect the Transmission Fluid Pressure Gauge to the line pressure tap.
2. Start the engine and check the line pressures at idle speeds with the transmission in each gear range. Refer to the following Pressure Charts to
determine if the line pressure is within specification.
3. NOTICE:
Do not immediately press the throttle to the floor or allow the throttle to immediately close or internal damage to the engine or transmission
will occur.
Check line pressure at Wide Open Throttle (WOT) stall speed with the selector lever in all gear ranges. Slowly press the throttle to WOT and record
the pressure reading. After recording the pressure reading, slowly release the throttle until closed throttle is obtained (idle). Refer to the following
Pressure Chart charts to determine if the line pressure is within specification.
4. If pressure is not within specification, refer to the Line Pressure Diagnostic Chart for further diagnosis.

Stall Speed Test
NOTICE:
Carry out the Line Pressure Test prior to carrying out the Stall Speed Test. If line pressure is low at stall, do not carry out the stall test or
additional transmission damage will occur. Do not maintain Wide Open Throttle (WOT) in any gear range for more than 5 seconds.
NOTE:
After testing each of the ranges, move the selector lever into the NEUTRAL position and run the engine at 1,000 rpm for about 15 seconds to allow the
torque converter to cool off before continuing onto the next range.
NOTE:
If the engine speed recorded by the tachometer exceeds maximum specified rpm, release the throttle immediately. Clutch or band slippage is indicated.
NOTE:
The Stall Speed Test should only be carried out with the engine and transmission at normal operating temperatures.
NOTE:
Prolonged use of this procedure may set DTCs P0712 or P1783. After carrying out the Stall Speed Test, run On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) test and clear the
DTCs.
The Stall Speed Test checks the operation of the following items:
• Torque Converter Clutch (TCC)

• Forward clutch
• Low One-Way Clutch (OWC)
• Overdrive (O/D) OWC
• Engine driveability concerns
1. Connect a scan tool.

2. Press the accelerator pedal to WOT in each range. Record the rpm reached in each range. Stall speeds should be in the appropriate range.

Air Pressure Tests

Air Pressure Test Port Locations

1 — Coast clutch feed
2 — Intermediate clutch feed
3 — Reverse clutch feed
4 — Forward clutch feed
5 — Direct clutch feed
6 — Overdrive (O/D) clutch feed
A no-drive condition can exist, even with correct transmission fluid pressure, because of inoperative clutches or bands. See the Band, Clutch, Solenoid,
Application Charts, refer to Pinpoint Tests — OSC Equipped Vehicle or Specifications in this section to determine the appropriate elements. A clutch
concern can be located through a series of checks by substituting air pressure for transmission fluid pressure to determine the location of the concern.
Example: When the selector lever is in a forward gear range ((D), 2, 1), a no-drive condition may be caused by an inoperative forward clutch.
2008 F-250, 350, 450, 550 Super Duty, 7/2007

1. Drain the transmission fluid. Remove the transmission fluid pan.

2. Remove the transmission filter and seal assembly, the solenoid body and solenoid-to-case gasket.
3. Install the Air Test Plate along with the Transmission Test Plate Screw Set.
4. The inoperative clutches can be located by applying air pressure into the appropriate clutch port. See the Air Pressure Test Port Locations illustration
for clutch port locations.
5. Apply 276 kPa (40 psi) of air pressure to the appropriate clutch port (see the Air Pressure Test Port Locations illustration). A dull thud may be heard
or movement felt when a clutch piston is applied. If the clutch seals or check ball are leaking, a hissing may be heard.
6. If the clutches fail to operate during the air check:
• inspect the transmission fluid passages in the case.
• the piston seals are not seated, not installed or are damaged.
• plugged feed holes for clutch apply in the case and/or clutch cylinder.
• damaged piston and/or clutch cylinder.
7. Repair as required and recheck.
8. Reinstall all components.

Leak Check Test with A Black Light

Use Dye-Lite® ATF/Power Steering Fluid Leak Detection Dye 164-R3701 to detect a transmission fluid leak.
1. Add dye to the transmission fluid. Use 30mL (1 oz) of dye solution for every 3.8L (4 qt) of transmission fluid.
2. Start and run the engine until the transmission reaches its normal operating temperature. Observe the back of the cylinder block and top of the torque
converter housing for evidence of fluid leaks. Raise the vehicle on a hoist and run the engine at fast idle, then at engine idle, occasionally shifting to
the DRIVE and REVERSE ranges to increase pressure within the transmission. Observe the front of the flexplate, back of the cylinder block (in as far
as possible), inside the torque converter housing and the entire case until fluid leaks are evident and the probable source of the leak can be determined.

Transmission Fluid Cooler
Special Tool(s)
NOTE:
Cleaning and backflushing the transmission fluid cooling system along with following all the normal cleaning and inspection procedures during disassembly
and assembly prevents contamination from entering the transmission, causing a repeat repair.
When internal wear or damage has occurred in the transmission, metal particles or clutch plate material may have been carried into the torque converter and
transmission fluid cooler. These contaminants are a major cause of recurring transmission issues and must be removed from the system before the
cardiagn.com
transmission is put back into use.
Transmission Fluid Cooler Flow Test
NOTE:
The transmission linkage/cable adjustment, transmission fluid level and transmission line pressure must be within specification before carrying out this test.
Refer to Check Transmission Fluid Level and Condition under Preliminary Inspection in this section. Refer to Line Pressure Test under Special Testing
Procedures in this section. For shift linkage/cable adjustment procedures, refer to Section 307-05.
1. Remove the transmission fluid level indicator from the transmission fluid filler tube.
2. Place a funnel in the transmission fluid filler tube.
3. Raise and support the vehicle.
4. Disconnect the transmission fluid cooler return tube (rear-fitting) from the transmission case.
5. Install a suitable plug into the rear case fitting.
6. Connect one end of a hose to the transmission fluid cooler return tube and route the other end of the hose up to a point where it can be inserted into the
funnel at the transmission fluid filler tube.
7. Remove the supports and lower the vehicle.
8. Insert the end of the hose into the funnel.
9. Start the engine and run at idle with the transmission in NEUTRAL.
10. Once a steady flow of transmission fluid (without air bubbles) is observed, remove the hose from the funnel and place the hose in a measuring
container for 15 seconds. After 15 seconds, place the hose back into the funnel and turn the engine off. Measure the amount of transmission fluid in
the container.
Temperature Flow
44°C (111°F) 236.6 ml (8 oz) 15 sec
78°C (172°F) 473.2 ml (16 oz) 15 sec
82°C (180°F) and up 1893 ml (64 oz) 15 sec
There is a temperature valve in the pump. Transmission fluid cooler flow rates vary according to automatic transmission fluid temperature. The use of
a scan tool determines the actual transmission fluid temperature. If adequate flow is observed into the container, the test is now complete.
11. If adequate flow is not observed, turn off the engine. Disconnect the hose from the transmission fluid cooler return tube (transmission inlet).
12. Disconnect the transmission fluid cooler tube from the front case fitting and connect the hose to the case fitting (converter out) and repeat Steps 8, 9
and 10.
13. If adequate flow is not observed from the transmission, look for a plugged or crushed transmission fluid cooler tube, plugged remote filter orifice and/
or transmission fluid cooler. Refer to Section 307-02 for diagnosis of the transmission fluid cooler.
2008 F-250, 350, 450, 550 Super Duty, 7/2007

14. If adequate flow is still not observed, repair or installation of a new pump and/or torque converter may be required.
For the installation of new transmission fluid cooler tubes, refer to Section 307-02.

Diagnosis By Symptom
Special Tool(s)
The Diagnosis By Symptom Index gives the technician diagnostic information and direction. It suggests possible components, using a symptom as a starting
point. All routines start out with any potential electrical components that can cause or contribute to the symptom described. The routines then list all possible
hydraulic or mechanical components that can cause or contribute to the symptom described.
Diagnosis By Symptom Index Directions

1. Use the Symptom Index to select the Concern/Symptom that best describes the condition.
cardiagn.com
2. Refer to the routine indicated in the Diagnosis By Symptom Index.
3. Always begin diagnosis of a symptom with:
• preliminary inspections.
• verification of conditions.
• checking transmission fluid levels.
• carrying out other test procedures as directed.
4. NOTE:
Not all concerns and conditions with electrical components will set a DTC. Be aware that the components listed may still be the cause. Verify correct
function of these components prior to proceeding to the hydraulic/mechanical components listed.
NOTE:
When the battery is disconnected or a new battery is installed, certain transmission operating parameters can be lost. The PCM must relearn these
parameters. During this learning process, slightly firm shifts, delayed or early shifts may be experienced. This operation is considered normal and will
not affect the function of the transmission. Normal operation will return once these parameters are stored by the PCM.
Follow the reference or action statements. Always carry out the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) tests as necessary. Never skip steps. Repair as necessary.
If the concern is still present after the electrical components have been diagnosed, proceed to the hydraulic/mechanical components listed.
5. The list contains only possible hydraulic or mechanical components that may cause or contribute to the concern. These components are listed in the
removal sequence and by most probable cause. All components listed must be inspected to make sure repair is correct.
