The Hydra-matic 6-Speed RWD is a fully automatic, 6-speed, rear-wheel drive, electronic-controlled
transmission. It consists primarily of a 4-element torque converter, an integral fluid pump and converter
housing, a single and double planetary gear set, friction and mechanical clutch assemblies, and a hydraulic
pressurization and control system. There are four variants of the transmission, all based on torque capacity.
Architecture is common between the variants, and component differences are primarily related to size.
The 4-element torque converter contains a pump, a turbine, a pressure plate splined to the turbine, and a stator
7 of 50 2/22/2019, 9:00 PM
assembly. The torque converter acts as a fluid coupling to smoothly transmit power from the engine to the
transmission. It also hydraulically provides additional torque multiplication when required. The pressure plate,
when applied, provides a mechanical direct drive coupling of the engine to the transmission.
The planetary gear sets provide the 6 forward gear ratios and reverse. Changing gear ratios is fully automatic
and is accomplished through the use of a transmission control module (TCM) located inside the transmission.
The TCM receives and monitors various electronic sensor inputs and uses this information to shift the
transmission at the optimum time.
The TCM commands shift solenoids and variable bleed pressure control solenoids to control shift timing and
feel. The TCM also controls the apply and release of the torque converter clutch which allows the engine to
deliver the maximum fuel efficiency without sacrificing vehicle performance. All the solenoids, including the
TCM, are packaged into a self-contained control solenoid valve assembly.
The hydraulic system primarily consists of a vane-type pump, 2 control valve body assemblies, converter
housing and case. The pump maintains the working pressures needed to stroke the clutch pistons that apply or
release the friction components. These friction components, when applied or released, support the automatic
shifting qualities of the transmission.
The friction components used in this transmission consist of 5 multiple disc clutches. The multiple disc clutches
cardiagn.com
combine with one mechanical sprag clutch to deliver 7 different gear ratios, 6 forward and one reverse, through
the gear sets. The gear sets then transfer torque through the output shaft.
PARK (P)
This position locks the rear wheels and prevents the vehicle from rolling either forward or backward.
PARK is the best position to use when starting the vehicle. Because the transmission utilizes a shift lock
control system, it is necessary to fully depress the brake pedal before shifting out of PARK. For safety
reasons, use the parking brake in addition to the PARK position.
REVERSE (R)
NEUTRAL (N)
This position allows the engine to be started and operated while driving the vehicle. If necessary, you may
select this position in order to restart the engine with the vehicle moving. This position should also be
used when towing the vehicle.
DRIVE (D)
Drive range should be used for all normal driving conditions for maximum efficiency and fuel economy.
Drive range allows the transmission to operate in each of the 6 forward gear ratios. Downshifts to a lower
gear, or higher gear ratio, are available for safe passing by depressing the accelerator or by manually
selecting a lower gear in the manual mode range.
This position allows the driver to select a range of gears appropriate for current driving conditions. Refer
to the vehicle owner's manual for specific manual mode information.

TRANSMISSION COMPONENT AND SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
A torque converter with an electronically controlled capacity clutch (ECCC). ECCC was developed to
reduce the possibility of noise, vibration, or chuggle caused by TCC apply. In a torque converter with
ECCC, the pressure plate does not always fully lock to the torque converter cover. Instead, the pressure
plate maintains a small amount of slippage. In RWD 6-Speed transmissions, this slippage can range from
0-50 RPM. Full lockup (0 RPM slip) is still available on some applications. TCC may apply in 2nd, 3rd,
4th, 5th, or 6th gears. The specific TCC apply points and the amount of clutch slippage are determined by
a number of operating conditions, including throttle position, vehicle speed, gear, as well as specific
vehicle application. Transmission fluid temperature will also affect TCC apply points.

Shift stabilization is a function within the vehicle's software/calibration that determines if and when to prevent
upshifts under load. The purpose of shift stabilization is to reduce shift busyness during conditions that would
otherwise produce frequent upshifts and downshifts, such as trailering, operating on grades or at higher
altitudes.
Shift stabilization calculates the required torque at the wheels in the current gear as well as the maximum torque
available at the wheels in the next higher gear. If the torque in the higher gear is not sufficient, the transmission
9 of 50 2/22/2019, 9:00 PM
will remain in the current gear. If the torque in the higher gear is greater than or equal to the required torque,
then an upshift is allowed.
Shift stabilization is active in normal driving mode, cruise mode, and in tow/haul mode. However, shift
stabilization will be disabled during high throttle maneuvers, and may be disengaged momentarily if the cruise
control "decrease" button is tapped or held, or if a significant "bump" in the road is encountered.
Manual Mode operation can be entered into when the shift lever is place in Manual (M) position. When manual
mode is selected, the letter M of the PRNDM display will illuminate to indicate the transmission is in manual
mode.
The transmission manual shift switch is mounted on the transmission gear shift lever handle. The manual shift
switch is a momentary type that has three positions. The three positions are neutral or open, plus (+) for upshifts
and minus (-) for downshifts. When selecting a gear, a number 1 through 6 for 6L transmission and 1 through 8
cardiagn.com
for 8L transmissions, will be displayed next to the letter M on the instrument panel, to indicate the current gear
the operator has selected.
The transmission manual shift switch is an input signal to the body control module. The upshift or downshift
signal commands are processed and sent out on the serial data line from the body control module to the engine
control module and transmission control module.
In manual mode, the Transmission Control Module will always have final authority of when to allow an upshift
or downshift. The Transmission Control Module only allows an upshift or downshift into the appropriate gear
based on engine RPM, vehicle speed and other control parameters. The transmission will not automatically
downshift to the next lower gear if it would cause an engine over speed condition or an upshift if it would result
in too low of engine RPM.
If the Transmission Control Module prevents an upshift or downshift for any reason, a SHIFT DENIED
message will be displayed on the instrument cluster.
1. With the engine running, place the shift lever in Manual (M) position. The letter M of PRNDM display
will illuminate to indicate Manual Mode. A number will be illuminated next to the letter M to indicate the
current gear selected.
2. Momentary pressing the Transmission Manual Shift Switch - plus (+) will command the transmission to
the next higher gear. The current number indicated on the PRNDM display will change to a number to
indicate the gear that the vehicle operator has selected, and if conditions are appropriate, commands the
Transmission Control Module to upshift to that gear.
3. Momentary pressing the Transmission Manual Shift Switch - minus (-) will command the transmission to
the next lower gear. The current number indicated on the PRNDM display will change to a number to
indicate the gear that the vehicle operator has selected, and if conditions are appropriate, commands the
Transmission Control Module to downshift to that gear.
4. To exit Manual Mode, place the shift lever in Drive (D) position.

TOW/HAUL MODE DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Tow/haul mode is a function within the vehicle's software/calibration that optimizes transmission gear selection
for operation during towing or with heavy loads. This optimization includes improving acceleration
performance during launches, reducing shift busyness, assisting brake performance and speed control during
engine braking situations, and improving vehicle speed control while requiring less throttle pedal activity.
In general, tow/haul mode maintains lower gears longer and increases shift pressures. It is designed to be most
effective when the vehicle and trailer combined weight is at least 75% of the vehicle's Gross Combined Weight
Rating (GCWR). Operation of tow/haul in a lightly loaded or non-loaded vehicle will not cause damage.
However, there is no benefit to the selection of tow/haul when the vehicle is unloaded, and use of tow/haul
mode during unloaded driving conditions will decrease fuel economy and may generate shift feel concerns.
The Hydra-Matic® 6-Speed RWD transmission utilizes a line pressure control system during upshifts to
compensate for the normal wear of transmission components. As the apply components within the transmission
wear or change over time, shift time (the time required to apply a clutch) increase or decreases. In order to
compensate for these changes, the transmission control module (TCM) adjusts the pressure commands to the
various PC solenoids, to maintain the originally calibrated shift timing. The automatic adjusting process is
cardiagn.com
referred to as "adaptive learning" and it is used to ensure consistent shift feel plus increase transmission
durability. The TCM monitors the A/T input speed sensor (ISS) and the A/T output speed sensor (OSS) during
commanded shifts to determine if a shift is occurring too fast (harsh) or too slow (soft) and adjusts the
corresponding pressure control (PC) solenoid signal to maintain the set shift feel.
The purpose of the adapt function is to automatically compensate the shift quality for the various vehicle shift
control systems. The adapt function is a continuous process that will help to maintain optimal shift quality
throughout the life of the vehicle.
The following transmission-related indicators and messages may be displayed on the Instrument Panel Cluster
(IPC). For a complete listing and description of all vehicle indicators and messages, refer to Indicator/Warning
Message Description and Operation .
This message is displayed when the TCM detects a transmission fluid temperature (TFT) equal to or
greater than 132°C (270°F) for 5 seconds.
"SERVICE TRANSMISSION"

The input speed sensor (ISS) is a hall-effect type sensor. The ISS mounts to the control valve upper body
assembly and connects to the control solenoid valve assembly through a wire harness and connector. The sensor
faces the 1-2-3-4 and 3-5-R clutch housing machined teeth surface. The sensor receives 8.3-9.3 volts on the
ISS/OSS Supply Voltage circuit from the TCM. As the 1-2-3-4 and 3-5-R clutch housing rotates, the sensor
produces a signal frequency based on the machined surface of the 1-2-3-4 and 3-5-R clutch housing. This signal
is transmitted through the ISS signal circuit to the control solenoid valve assembly. The control solenoid valve
assembly uses the ISS signal to determine line pressure, transmission shift patterns, torque converter clutch
(TCC) slip speed and gear ratio.

the OSS signal to determine line pressure, transmission shift patterns, torque converter clutch (TCC) slip speed
and gear ratio.

4. Lock the slide lock on the connector.
When the gear selector lever is in the Park (P) position, fluid is drawn into the pump through the transmission
fluid filter assembly, from the transmission fluid pan assembly. Line pressure is then directed to the following
valves:
Manual Valve
Mechanically controlled by the gear selector lever, the manual valve is in the Park (P) position and prevents line
pressure from the pressure regulator valve from entering the reverse and drive circuits.
The CBR1/C456 pressure control solenoid (PCS) is energized (HIGH) allowing actuator feed limit fluid to enter
the PCS CBR1/C456 CL fluid circuit. PCS CBR1/C456 CL fluid is then routed through orifice #31 to the 4-5-6
clutch boost valve and through orifice #39 to the CBR1/ C456 clutch regulator valve.
PCS CBR1/C456 CL fluid at the CBR1/C4-5-6 clutch regulator valve moves the valve against CBR1/C4-5-6
clutch regulator spring force and CBR1/FDBK fluid. This allows line pressure to pass through the valve and
enter the CBR1/456CL FD circuit. CBR1/456CL FD is then routed to clutch select valve 2.
Shift Solenoid 1
Shift solenoid 1 is energized (ON) allowing actuator feed limit fluid to enter the solenoid 1 circuit. Solenoid 1
fluid is routed to the #2 ball check valve and through orifice #10 to the torque converter clutch (TCC) regulator
valve and shuttle valve (SHTL).
17 of 50 2/22/2019, 9:00 PM
Solenoid 1 fluid is routed to the TCC regulator valve and shuttle valve and moves the valve against TCC
regulator valve spring force.
Solenoid 1 fluid seats the #2 ball check valve against the reverse fluid passage and fluid is forced through
orifice #22 into the CSV2 enable fluid circuit.
CSV2 enable fluid is routed to the clutch select valve 2 and moves the valve against clutch select valve 2 spring
force. This allows CBR1/456 CL FD fluid to pass through the valve and enter the CBR1/CBR FD circuit.
CBR1/CBR FD fluid is then routed: to clutch select valve 3, into the CBR1 fluid circuit and, through orifice #49
where it enters the CBR fluid circuit and an exhaust passage at the clutch select valve 3 (this fluid is intended to
keep the low and reverse clutch full of fluid but not pressurized). CBR1 fluid is then routed to the low & reverse
clutch assembly in preparation for a shift into low or reverse gear.
Shift Solenoid 2
Shift solenoid 2 is energized (ON) allowing actuator feed limit fluid to enter the solenoid 2 fluid circuit and is
cardiagn.com
then routed to the #3 ball check valve.
Actuator feed limit fluid is routed through the valve and into the PS1 fluid passage. PS1 fluid is then sent to the
normally closed #1 pressure switch and opens the switch.
Solenoid 2 fluid seats the #3 ball check valve against 456 CL fluid passage and fluid is forced through orifice
#20 into the CSV3 enable fluid circuit. CSV3 enable fluid is then routed to the clutch select valve 3.
CSV3 enable fluid moves the clutch select valve 3 against clutch select valve 3 spring force. CBR fluid at the
clutch select valve 3 passes through the valve and exhausts.

REVERSE
When the gear selector lever is moved to the Reverse (R) position (from the Park position) the normally high
C35R pressure control solenoid 2 is commanded ON and the following changes occur in the transmission's
hydraulic and electrical systems:
Manual Valve
With the manual valve in the reverse position, line pressure is directed into the reverse fluid circuit to the #2 ball
check valve and clutch select valve 3.
Reverse fluid seats the #2 ball check valve against the solenoid 1 fluid passage and fluid is forced through
orifice #22 into the CSV2 enable circuit.
CSV2 enable fluid, present at the valve from Park position, continues to hold the clutch select valve 2 against
clutch select valve 2 spring force.
19 of 50 2/22/2019, 9:00 PM
Reverse fluid from the manual valve is routed to clutch select valve 3 to combine with clutch select valve 3
spring force to keep the valve in the off position. This allows reverse fluid to pass through the valve and enter
the 3-5 clutch reverse feed circuit. The 3-5 clutch reverse feed fluid from the clutch select valve 3 is also routed
to #5 ball check valve. CBR1/CBR FD fluid is also directed through the clutch select valve 3 to the low and
reverse clutch assembly.
CBR and CBR1 fluid pressures are routed to both the inner and outer areas of the low and reverse clutch piston
to hold the piston against spring force and hold the low and reverse clutch plates. The clutch was already
applied in Park, but is applied with more holding capacity in Reverse (both piston areas are pressurized).
The 3-5 clutch reverse feed fluid seats #5 ball check valve against the drive 1-6 circuit allowing 3-5 clutch
reverse feed fluid to enter the 3-5 reverse supply circuit. The 3-5 reverse supply fluid is then routed to #7 ball
check valve and through orifice #25 where it enters the 3-5 reverse feed circuit. The 3-5 reverse feed passes
through orifice #46 and then is routed to the 3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve.
cardiagn.com
C35R Pressure Control Solenoid 2
The C35R pressure control solenoid 2 is energized (HIGH) allowing actuator feed limit fluid to enter the PCS
3-5 reverse clutch circuit. PCS 3-5 reverse clutch fluid is then routed through orifice #48 to the 3-5 reverse
clutch regulator valve and through orifice #40 to the 3-5 reverse boost valve.
PCS 3-5 reverse clutch fluid moves the 3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve against 3-5 reverse clutch regulator
valve spring force and 3-5 reverse clutch feedback fluid. This allows 3-5 reverse feed to pass through the valve
and enter the 3-5 reverse clutch circuit. The 3-5 reverse clutch fluid is then routed to the 3-5 reverse clutch and
the 3-5 reverse boost valve. PS1 fluid from pressure switch 1 exhausts through the valve allowing the switch to
close.
PCS 3-5 reverse clutch fluid pressure acts on a differential area moving the 3-5 reverse clutch boost valve
against the 3-5 reverse clutch boost valve spring. The 3-5 reverse clutch fluid passes through the valve and
enters the 3-5 reverse clutch feedback circuit. As PCS 3-5 reverse clutch fluid pressure is increased to a given
value, the 3-5 reverse clutch boost valve opens the 3-5 reverse clutch feedback circuit to exhaust. This results in
the 3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve moving to the full feed position sending full 3-5 clutch reverse feed
pressure (full line pressure) to the clutch.
The 3-5 reverse clutch fluid enters the 1-2-3-4 and reverse clutch housing to move the piston against spring
force and compensator feed fluid to apply the 3-5 reverse clutch plates.

When the gear selector is moved to the Neutral (N) position, the hydraulic and electrical system operation is
identical to Park (P) range. However, if Neutral is selected after the vehicle was operating in Reverse (R), the
normally high C35R pressure control solenoid 2 is commanded OFF and the following changes would occur in
the hydraulic system:
Manual Valve
The manual valve is moved to the Neutral position and blocks line pressure from entering the reverse and drive
fluid circuits. The reverse fluid from the #2 ball check valve and clutch select valve 3 is opened to an exhaust
passage at the manual valve.
The C35R pressure control solenoid 2 is commanded OFF allowing PCS 3-5 reverse clutch fluid from the 3-5
reverse clutch boost valve and 3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve to exhaust.
The 3-5 reverse boost valve spring force moves the valve to allow 3-5 reverse clutch feedback fluid from the
3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve to enter the 3-5 reverse clutch circuit and exhaust.
21 of 50 2/22/2019, 9:00 PM
The 3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve spring force moves the valve to allow 3-5 reverse clutch fluid from the
3-5 reverse clutch and clutch select valve 2 to pass through the valve and enter the exhaust backfill fluid circuit.
The 3-5 reverse clutch fluid then enters the exhaust backfill fluid circuit and is routed through orifice #30 to the
exhaust backfill pressure relief valve where excess pressure is exhausted.
The 3-5 reverse clutch spring force combined with a force from the compensator moves the 3-5 reverse clutch
piston to release the 3-5 reverse clutch plates and force 3-5 reverse clutch fluid to exhaust from the 1-2-3-4 and
3-5 reverse clutch housing. The 3-5 reverse clutch fluid is then routed to the 3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve
allowing the 3-5 reverse clutch to release.
When reverse fluid exhausts through the manual valve, CSV3 enable fluid moves the valve against clutch select
valve 3 spring force. The 3-5 reverse feed fluid is routed around #7 ball check valve and into the 3-5 reverse
supply circuit. The 3-5 reverse supply fluid is routed around #5 ball check valve and into the 3-5 clutch reverse
feed circuit and exhausts at the clutch select valve 3.

clutch regulator valve. CB26/C1234 feed fluid passes through the 2-6 clutch regulator valve and enters the
pressure switch 3 (PS3) fluid circuit. PS3 fluid is then routed to the normally closed pressure switch 3 and
opens the switch.
CB26/C1234 feed fluid seats the #6 ball check valve against the 1234 clutch feed passage forcing CB26/C1234
feed fluid through orifice #32 before entering the 1234 clutch feed circuit. The 1234 clutch feed fluid is routed
through orifice #33 and then to the 1-2-3-4 clutch regulator valve.
The C1234 pressure control solenoid 5 is commanded ON allowing actuator feed limit fluid to enter the
PCS1234 clutch fluid circuit. PCS1234 clutch fluid is then routed through orifice #35 to the 1-2-3-4 clutch
regulator valve. PCS1234 clutch fluid is also routed through orifice #29 and then to the 1-2-3-4 clutch boost
valve.
PCS1234 clutch fluid moves the 1-2-3-4 clutch regulator valve against 1-2-3-4 clutch regulator valve spring
force to allow 1234 clutch feed fluid to pass through the valve and enter the 1234 clutch fluid circuit. The 1234
clutch fluid is then routed to the 1234 clutch boost valve and the 1-2-3-4 clutch.
PCS1234 clutch fluid pressure acts on a differential area moving the 1234 clutch boost valve against the 1234
clutch boost valve spring. The 1234 clutch fluid passes through the valve and enters the 1234 clutch feedback
circuit. As PCS 1234 clutch fluid pressure is increased to a given value, the 1234 clutch boost valve opens the
1234 clutch feedback circuit to exhaust. This results in the 1234 clutch regulator valve moving to the full feed
position sending full 26 CL/1234 CL feed pressure (full line pressure) to the clutch.

As the vehicle speed increases, the transmission control module (TCM) receives input signals from the
automatic transmission input and output speed sensors, throttle position sensor and other vehicle sensors to
determine the precise moment to deenergize or "turn off" shift solenoid 1 and command OFF the normally-high
CBR1/C456 pressure control solenoid 3.
Shift Solenoid 1
When shift solenoid 1 is "turned OFF", CSV2 enable fluid from the clutch select valve 2 passes by the #2 ball
check valve and enters the solenoid 1 fluid circuit. Solenoid 1 fluid from the #2 ball check valve and TCC
regulator valve is then routed to the solenoid where it exhausts.
Clutch select valve 2 (CSV2) enable fluid is exhausted from the clutch select valve 2 and clutch select valve 2
spring force moves the valve to the released position. With clutch select valve 2 in the released position, drive
24 of 50 2/22/2019, 9:00 PM
fluid from the manual valve passes through the valve and enters the drive 1-6 fluid circuit. Drive 1-6 fluid then
feeds all clutch regulator valves and the TCC regulator valve.
The CBR1/C456 pressure control solenoid 3 is commanded OFF allowing PCS CBR1/C456 fluid from the
CBR1/C456 clutch regulator valve and 456 clutch boost valve to exhaust.
CBR1/C456 clutch regulator valve spring force moves the valve to exhaust the CBR1/456 clutch feed circuit
and allow drive 1-6 fluid to enter the PS5 fluid circuit. PS5 fluid is then routed to the normally-closed pressure
switch 5 and opens the switch. PS5 fluid is also routed to the #4 ball check valve and flows into the CSV2 latch
fluid circuit.
PS5 fluid pressure seats the #4 ball check valve against the 456 clutch fluid circuit. PS5 fluid is then directed
into the CSV2 latch fluid circuit and routed to the clutch select valve 2. CSV2 latch fluid combines with clutch
select valve 2 spring force and holds the valve in this position during all 6 forward gear ranges.

#5 Ball Check Valve
Drive 1-6 fluid pressure seats the #5 ball check valve against the 35 clutch reverse feed fluid passage. Drive 1-6
fluid is then directed into the 35R supply fluid circuit which is routed to the #7 ball check valve and orifice #25.
The 35R supply fluid seats the #7 ball check valve against the 35R feed fluid passage to force 35R supply fluid
through orifice #25 before entering the 35R feed circuit. The 35R feed fluid is then routed to the 3-5 reverse
clutch regulator valve.
Low and reverse clutch spring force moves the low and reverse clutch piston which forces clutch braking
(CBR) and CBR1 fluid out of the center support. CBR fluid is routed to the clutch select valve 3 where it
exhausts. CBR1 fluid is routed to the clutch select valve 2 where it exhausts. The low and reverse clutch is in
the released position.

As the vehicle speed increases, the transmission control module (TCM) receives input signals from the
automatic transmission input and output speed sensors, the throttle position sensor and other vehicle sensors to
determine the precise moment to command ON the normally-low pressure control solenoid 4.
The CB26 pressure control solenoid 4 is commanded ON, allowing actuator feed limit fluid to enter the pressure
control solenoid (PCS) 26 clutch fluid circuit. PCS 26 clutch fluid is then routed through orifice #44 to the 2-6
clutch regulator gain valve.
The 2-6 clutch regulator gain valve allows the gain (valve input to output pressure magnification factor) of the
2-6 clutch regulator valve to be different for a 1-2 shift verses a 5-6 shift. For a 1-2 shift, PCS 26 clutch fluid
pressure acts on a differential area resulting in the "high gain" pressure output.
PCS 26 clutch fluid moves the 2-6 clutch regulator / gain valve assembly against the 2-6 clutch regulator valve
spring force to allow 26 clutch/1234 clutch feed fluid to pass through the valve. The 26 clutch/1234 clutch feed
fluid is routed into the 26 clutch fluid circuit where it passes through orifice #41 and then to the spring end of
the 2-6 clutch regulator valve, and to the 2-6 clutch within the center support.

PCS 35 reverse clutch fluid pressure acts on a differential area moving the 3-5 reverse clutch boost valve
against the 3-5 reverse clutch boost valve spring. The 35 reverse clutch fluid passes through the valve and enters
the 35 reverse clutch feedback circuit. As PCS 35 reverse clutch fluid pressure is increased to a given value, the
3-5 reverse clutch boost valve opens the 35 reverse clutch feedback circuit to exhaust. This results in the 3-5
reverse clutch regulator valve moving to the full feed position sending full 35 reverse clutch feed pressure (full
line pressure) to the clutch.
PCS 35 reverse clutch fluid moves the 3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve against 3-5 reverse clutch regulator
valve spring force and 35 reverse clutch feedback fluid. This allows 35 reverse feed to pass through the valve
and enter the 35 reverse clutch circuit. The 35 reverse clutch fluid is then routed to the 3-5 reverse clutch, the
3-5 reverse boost valve and the clutch select valve 2. When the 3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve is in this
position, PS1 fluid from the pressure switch 1 exhausts through the valve allowing the switch to close.
The 35 reverse clutch fluid enters the 1-2-3-4 and 3-5 reverse clutch housing to move the piston against spring
force combined with force from the compensator to apply the 3-5 reverse clutch plates.

2-6 Clutch Releases
The CB26 pressure control solenoid 4 is commanded OFF allowing PCS 26 clutch fluid from the 2-6 clutch
regulator valve to exhaust. The 26 clutch/1234 clutch feed fluid at the 2-6 clutch regulator valve passes through
the valve and enters the PS3 fluid circuit. PS3 fluid is then routed to pressure switch 3 and opens the normally-
closed switch.
The 2-6 clutch regulator valve spring force moves the valve to allow 26 clutch fluid from the 2-6 clutch to pass
through the valve and enter the exhaust backfill fluid circuit.
2-6 Clutch
The 2-6 clutch spring force moves the 2-6 clutch piston to release the 2-6 clutch plates and forces 26 clutch

If the transmission is in 1st, 2nd or 3rd gear during a transmission electrical component failure, the transmission
will default to 3rd gear. All solenoids will default to their normal state. If the torque converter clutch was
applied, it will release. This default action will enable the vehicle to be safely driven to a service center.
Shift Solenoid 2
Shift solenoid 2 defaults to it's normally-closed state (OFF), and SOL 2 fluid exhausts through the solenoid.
Solenoid 2 fluid pressure no longer holds the clutch select valve 3 open. When the valve moves back to the
closed position, it opens the 1234 clutch default fluid circuit, and 1234 default fluid is routed to the 1-2-3-4
clutch regulator valve.
With the absence of PCS 1234 clutch fluid, due to the default state of the C1234 pressure control solenoid 5, the
1-2-3-4 regulator valve would close from spring force. However, the 1234 clutch default fluid enters behind the
1-2-3-4 regulator shuttle valve and keeps the valve in the open position.
1-2-3-4 Clutch

With the 1-2-3-4 clutch regulator valve still held in the open position, the 1-2-3-4 clutch will stay applied.
The normal state for the C35R pressure control solenoid 2 is ON, therefore PSC 35 reverse clutch fluid will still
be routed to the 3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve and the 3-5 reverse clutch boost valve.
PCS 3-5 reverse clutch fluid moves the 3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve against 3-5 reverse clutch regulator
valve spring force and 3-5 reverse clutch feedback fluid. This allows 3-5 reverse feed to pass through the valve
and enter the 3-5 reverse clutch circuit. 3-5 reverse clutch fluid is then routed to the 3-5 reverse clutch, the 3-5
reverse boost valve and the clutch select valve 2. When the 3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve is in this position,
PS1 fluid from the pressure switch 1 exhausts through the valve, allowing the switch to close.

valve spring force and 35 reverse clutch feedback fluid. This allows 35 reverse feed to pass through the valve
and enter the 35 reverse clutch circuit. The 35 reverse clutch fluid is then routed to the 3-5 reverse clutch, the
3-5 reverse boost valve and the clutch select valve 2. When the 3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve is in this
position, PS1 fluid from the pressure switch 1 exhausts through the valve allowing the switch to close.
The 35 reverse clutch fluid passes through the clutch select valve 2 and enters the 1234 clutch default feed fluid
circuit. The 1234 clutch default feed fluid is then routed to the clutch select valve 3.
The 35 reverse clutch fluid enters the 1-2-3-4 and 3-5 reverse clutch housing to move the piston against spring
force combined with force from the compensator to apply the 3-5 reverse clutch plates.

The C1234 pressure control solenoid 5 is commanded OFF, allowing PCS 1234 clutch fluid from the 1-2-3-4
clutch regulator valve and 1-2-3-4 clutch boost valve to exhaust.
The 1-2-3-4 clutch regulator valve spring force moves the valve to allow 1234 clutch feed fluid from the
1-2-3-4 clutch to pass through the valve and enter the exhaust backfill fluid circuit. The 1234 clutch fluid the
enters the exhaust backfill fluid circuit and is routed through orifice #30 to the exhaust backfill pressure relief
valve where excess pressure is exhausted. Also, 1234 clutch regulator valve spring force moves the valve to
allow 1234 clutch feed fluid to pass through the valve and enter the PS4 fluid circuit. PS4 fluid is then routed to
pressure switch 4 and opens the normally-closed switch.
The 1-2-3-4 clutch boost valve spring force moves the valve to allow 1234 clutch feedback fluid from the
1-2-3-4 clutch regulator valve to enter the 1234 clutch circuit and exhaust.
1-2-3-4 Clutch
The 1-2-3-4 clutch spring force combined with force from the compensator moves the 1-2-3-4 clutch piston to
release the clutch plates and force 1234 clutch fluid from the 1-2-3-4 and 3-5 reverse clutch housing. The 1234
clutch fluid is routed through the 1-2-3-4 clutch regulator valve where it enters the exhaust backfill fluid circuit.

If the transmission is in 4th, 5th or 6th gear during a transmission electrical component failure, the transmission
will default to 5th gear. All solenoids will default to their normal state. If the torque converter clutch was
applied, it will release. The transmission will stay in 5th gear default range until the ignition has been turned off
or transmission shifted to reverse. When the vehicle is restarted, and shifted back into drive, the transmission
will then operate in the 3rd gear default range. This default action will enable the vehicle to be safely driven to a
service center.
The C35R pressure control solenoid 2 defaults to ON, allowing actuator feed fluid to enter the pressure control
solenoid (PCS) 35 reverse clutch fluid circuit. PCS 35 reverse clutch fluid is routed through orifice #48 and then
to the 3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve. PCS 35 reverse clutch fluid is also routed through orifice #40 and then
to the 3-5 reverse clutch boost valve.
PCS 3-5 reverse clutch fluid pressure acts on a differential area moving the PCS 3-5 reverse clutch boost valve
against the 3-5 reverse clutch boost valve spring. The 3-5 reverse clutch fluid passes through the valve and
enters the 3-5 reverse clutch feedback circuit. As PCS 3-5 reverse clutch fluid pressure is increased to a given
value, the 3-5 reverse clutch boost valve opens the 3-5 reverse clutch feedback circuit to exhaust. This results in
the 3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve moving to the full feed position sending full 3-5 reverse clutch feed
pressure (full line pressure) to the clutch.

3-5 Reverse Clutch Regulator Valve
PCS 3-5 reverse clutch fluid moves the 3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve against 3-5 reverse clutch regulator
valve spring force and 3-5 reverse clutch feedback fluid. This allows 3-5 reverse feed to pass through the valve
and enter the 3-5 reverse clutch circuit. The 3-5 reverse clutch fluid is then routed to the 3-5 reverse clutch, the
3-5 reverse boost valve and the clutch select valve 2. When the 3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve is in this
position, PS1 fluid from the pressure switch 1 exhausts through the valve, allowing the switch to close.
The 3-5 reverse clutch fluid enters the 1-2-3-4 and 3-5 reverse clutch housing to move the piston against spring
force combined with force from the compensator to apply the 3-5 reverse clutch plates.
Once the clutch select valve 3 is moved to the ON position in 4th gear, it will remain in this position throughout
the 5th gear default range, until the ignition has been turned OFF. When the ignition is OFF, fluid will exhaust
from the valve, thus when the vehicle is restarted, the transmission will then be in the 3rd gear default range.

C1234 Pressure Control Solenoid 5
If the transmission was in 4th gear when an electrical condition commands a protection mode, the C1234
pressure control solenoid 5 defaults to the OFF position, allowing PCS 1234 clutch fluid from the 1-2-3-4
clutch, the 1-2-3-4 clutch regulator valve and 1- 2-3-4 clutch boost valve to exhaust.
If the transmission was in 6th gear when an electrical condition commands a protection mode, the CB26
pressure control solenoid 4 defaults to the OFF position, allowing PCS 26 clutch fluid from the 2-6 clutch
regulator valve, and the 2-6 clutch to exhaust.
The torque converter clutch (TCC) pressure control solenoid will default to it's normal state, OFF. PCS TCC
fluid will exhaust from the TCC control valve, and spring force will shuttle the valve to the off position. TCC
apply fluid will then be routed to the cooler, and TCC release fluid will be routed to the torque converter for
complete TCC release.

As the vehicle speed increases, the transmission control module (TCM) receives input signals from the
automatic transmission input and output speed sensors, the throttle position sensor and other vehicle sensors to
determine the precise moment to command ON the normally-low CB26 pressure control solenoid 4 (PCS). At
the same time the normally-high C35R pressure control solenoid 2 is commanded OFF.
The CB26 pressure control solenoid 4 is commanded ON, allowing actuator feed fluid to enter the PCS 26
clutch fluid circuit. PCS 26 fluid is routed through orifice #44 and then to the 2-6 clutch regulator gain valve.
The 2-6 clutch regulator gain valve allows the gain (valve input to output pressure magnification factor) of the
2-6 clutch regulator valve to be different for a 1-2 shift verses a 5-6 shift. For a 5-6 shift PCS 26 clutch fluid
pressure passes through the hollow valve and only acts on the 26 regulator valve area, resulting in the "low
gain" pressure output.
PCS 26 clutch fluid moves the 2-6 clutch regulator/gain valve assembly against the 2-6 clutch regulator valve
spring force to allow 26 clutch/1234 clutch feed fluid to pass through the valve. The 26 clutch/1234 clutch feed
fluid is routed into the 26 clutch fluid circuit where it passes through orifice #41 and then to the spring end of
37 of 50 2/22/2019, 9:00 PM
the 2-6 clutch regulator valve, and to the 2-6 clutch within the center support.
2-6 Clutch
The 26 clutch fluid from the 2-6 clutch regulator valve is routed through the center support and to the 2-6 clutch
piston assembly. The 26 clutch fluid pressure moves the piston against 2-6 clutch spring force to apply the 2-6
clutch plates.
The C35R pressure control solenoid 2 is commanded OFF, allowing PCS 35 reverse clutch fluid from the 3-5
reverse clutch boost valve and the 3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve to exhaust through the solenoid.
The 3-5 reverse boost valve spring force moves the valve to allow 35 reverse clutch feedback fluid from the 3-5
reverse clutch regulator valve to enter the 35 reverse clutch circuit and exhaust.
cardiagn.com
3-5 Reverse Clutch Regulator Valve
The 3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve spring force moves the valve to allow 35 reverse clutch fluid from the
3-5 reverse clutch to pass through the valve and enter the exhaust backfill fluid circuit. The 35 reverse clutch
fluid then enters the exhaust backfill fluid circuit and is routed through orifice #30 to the exhaust backfill
pressure relief valve where excess pressure is exhausted.
The 3-5 reverse clutch spring force combined with force from the compensator move the 3-5 reverse clutch
piston to release the 3-5 clutch plates and forces 35 reverse clutch fluid to exhaust from 1-2-3-4 and 3-5 reverse
clutch housing. The 35 reverse clutch fluid is then routed to the 3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve where it
enters the exhaust backfill circuit.

Circuit/System Description
cardiagn.com
The automatic transmission input and output speed sensor (ISS and OSS) assembly each are part of a single
harness. The ISS is a hall-effect type sensor. The ISS/OSS mounts to the control valve upper body assembly.
The ISS sensor end faces the splines on the 1-2-3-4 and 3-5-R clutch housing outside diameter surface. The
sensor receives 9 volts on the ISS/OSS supply voltage circuit from the control solenoid valve assembly. As the
1-2-3-4 and 3-5-R clutch housing rotates, the sensor produces a signal frequency based on the splines on the
clutch housing outside diameter surface. This signal is transmitted through the ISS signal circuit to the control
solenoid valve assembly. The control solenoid valve assembly uses the ISS signal to determine line pressure,
transmission shift patterns, torque converter clutch (TCC) slip speed and gear ratio.

Circuit/System Description
Tow/haul mode enables the operator to achieve enhanced shift performance when towing or hauling a load.
When tow/haul mode is selected, the tow/haul switch input signal to the body control module (BCM) is
momentarily toggled from 12 volts to zero volts. The BCM then sends a signal out on the serial data line to the
transmission control module (TCM) to increase transmission line pressure and extend the time between
upshifts. Selecting the tow/haul switch again disables tow/haul mode and returns the transmission to a normal
shift pattern.
The Tow/Haul Mode switch remains closed, in a low voltage condition, for 10 seconds.
Diagnostic Aids
If the electrical circuit tests are OK and the shift pattern is not occurring, there may be a mechanical/hydraulic
condition that prevents operation. Refer to Symptoms - Automatic Transmission.

Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) System - Stuck Off - Transmission Hydraulic/Mechanical Performance
DTC P0742
Circuit/System Description
The torque converter clutch (TCC) pressure control solenoid is part of the control solenoid valve assembly
which has no serviceable parts. The TCC pressure control solenoid is a normally low pressure control solenoid.
The TCC pressure control solenoid regulates transmission fluid to the TCC regulator valve in the lower valve
body and the TCC control valve in the pump cover. When vehicle operating conditions are appropriate to apply
the converter clutch, the Transmission Control Module will increase TCC pressure control current flow (duty
cycle) to the TCC solenoid. The TCC pressure control solenoid directs fluid pressure to move the TCC control
valve to the apply position, and moves the TCC regulator apply valve to the regulating position. The TCC
regulator valve regulates TCC apply fluid pressure proportional to TCC solenoid pressure. When the TCC is
fully applied, the engine is coupled directly to the transmission. TCC release is accomplished by the
Transmission Control Module decreasing current flow to the TCC pressure control solenoid. This results in
decreasing the apply pressure which allows the TCC control valve to move to the release position. The

Circuit/System Description
The clutch pressure control solenoid 3 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly, which has no serviceable
parts. The Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid 3 regulates transmission fluid pressure to the CBR1/C 4-5-6 clutch
regulator valve which controls pressure to the low/reverse clutch and the 4-5-6 clutch. The Transmission
Control Module calculates gear ratio based on the RPM signals from the input speed sensor (ISS) and the output
speed sensor (OSS). The Transmission Control Module compares the expected transmission gear ratio to the
calculated gear ratio for each commanded gear.

Circuit/System Description
The driver shift request (DSR) allows the driver to select the desired range of gears for current driving
conditions. The DSR shift system is activated when the gear selector is in the manual position. The DSR system
is deactivated in all other range positions. Pressing the plus (+) switch once will command the body control
module (BCM) to signal the transmission control module (TCM) to upshift to the next high gear. Pressing the
minus (-) switch once will command the BCM to signal the TCM to downshift to the next lowest or previous
gear. The TCM will not allow a downshift if the transmission is compromised by over-speeding. The automatic
transmission manual shift switch is comprised of three different resistors values in series and two switches. The
BCM supplies a 12 volt circuit to the automatic transmission manual shift switch. The signal circuit varies the
voltage back to the body control module depending on which switch is depressed.

Circuit/System Description
The pressure control solenoid 3 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly which has no serviceable parts.
The normally high pressure control solenoid 3 regulates and directs the pressure control solenoid 3 oil pressure
to the 4-5-6 clutch regulator valve and 4-5-6 clutch boost valve. Increasing pressure control solenoid 3 oil
pressure increases oil pressure to the 4-5-6 clutch assembly. The Transmission Control Module varies the
current to the pressure control solenoid 3 through a low side driver. Decreasing the current to the pressure
control solenoid 3 increases pressure control solenoid 3 oil pressure by closing OFF the solenoid exhaust port.

The shift solenoid 1 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly which has no serviceable parts. The shift
solenoid 1 is a normally closed ON/OFF solenoid and is controlled by the Transmission Control Module
through a low side driver. When the shift solenoid 1 is energized, shift solenoid 1 fluid pressure is directed to
the clutch select valve 2. Power to the shift solenoid 1 is supplied by the Transmission Control Module through
a high side driver. The high side driver protects the circuit and components from excessive current flow. If
excessive current flow is detected, the high side driver will turn OFF. When the fault is corrected, the high side
driver will reset.

The Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch 5 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly which has no
serviceable parts. The Transmission Control Module supplies a signal circuit to the Transmission Fluid Pressure
Switch 5. The Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch 5 has an internal case ground. Transmission Fluid Pressure
Switch 5 is normally closed or LOW. When oil pressure is present at the Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch 5,
the switch is open or HIGH. The normally high pressure control solenoid 3 controls pressure to the CBR1/4-5-6
clutch regular valve. The Transmission Control Module monitors the Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch 5
signal circuit to determine the position of the CBR1/4-5-6 clutch regulator valve. When the 4-5-6 clutch is
commanded OFF, pressure is present on the Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch 5. When the 4-5-6 clutch is
commanded ON, the CBR1/4-5-6 clutch regulator valve moves and pressure to the Transmission Fluid Pressure
Switch 5 is exhausted through the CBR1/4-5-6 clutch regulator valve.

Circuit/System Description
The driver shift request, also known as the TAP Up/Downshift manual shift function, allows the driver to select
the desired range of gears for current driving conditions. The driver shift request shift system is activated when
the gear selector is in the manual position. The driver shift request system is deactivated in all other range
positions. When driver shift request is selected, a signal is sent to the Body Control Module and the also to the
Transmission Control Module. Each time a signal is sent, an internal counter in the Body Control Module and
Transmission Control Module increments. Both counters must have the same value. This code sets when the
rolling count value of the Transmission Control Module does not match the same rolling count value sent from
the Body Control Module.

Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Pressure Control Solenoid Valve Control Circuit High Voltage
DTC P2764
Circuit/System Description
The torque converter clutch (TCC) pressure control solenoid is part of the control solenoid valve assembly
which has no serviceable parts. The normally low TCC pressure control solenoid regulates oil pressure to the
TCC regulator valve and TCC control valve. Increasing TCC pressure control solenoid oil pressure increases oil
pressure to the torque converter to apply the clutch. The Transmission Control Module varies the current to the
TCC pressure control solenoid through a low side driver. Increasing current to the TCC pressure control
solenoid increase oil pressure by closing OFF the solenoid exhaust port. Decreasing current to the TCC pressure
control solenoid decreases oil pressure by opening up the solenoid exhaust port. The TCC pressure control
solenoid power is supplied by the Transmission Control Module through a high side driver. The high side driver
protects the circuit and components from excessive current flow. If excessive current flow is detected, the high
side driver will turn OFF. When the fault is corrected, the high side driver will reset.

DTC P2771
Circuit/System Description
On vehicles equipped with 4 wheel drive, the output speed sensor is on the transfer case. The instrument panel
mounted transfer case shift control switch consist of a 2HI position, 4HI and 4 Low. The transfer case shift
control module continuously monitors the signal to determine the position selected by the vehicle operator. The
transfer case shift control module sends the status of the transfer case range out on the serial data line to other
control modules. The transmission control module (TCM) monitors the status of the transfer range. When the
transfer case is in the 4 Low range, the TCM multiples the transfer case output shaft speed by the transfer case
ratio in 4 Low to determine the transmission output shaft speed. The TCM uses this information to provide
earlier upshifts and also to prevent an over-speed condition in 4 Low.

During transmission manufacturing and assembly, small pieces of material may become dislodged. This may
also happen after the transmission has been in operation for a period of time. Because the transmission control
solenoid valve assembly is continually immersed in transmission oil, material particles or slivers of metallic
debris may become deposited on the control solenoid valve assembly. Often this material is very small and can
be hard to see. For this reason, it is important that the control solenoid valve assembly be thoroughly inspected.
A thorough inspection of the control solenoid valve assembly should include the following:
Clean inspection area - Like all transmission service work, cleanliness is very important. Be sure the area
where you are inspecting is free of dust and dirt. Have non-glossy white or lightly colored paper down on
the inspection surface. This will enhance the lighting and help to see particles that have come from the
control solenoid valve assembly.

NOTE: At the end of the inspection process where debris is found, it is required
the transmission fluid and filter be replaced. Any time the control solenoid
valve assembly has been removed, it is mandatory the filter plate
assembly (3) be replaced.
1. Inspect the control solenoid valve assembly housing (1) for damage, cracks, or parting seam (4)
separation. Inspect all housing lock tabs (2). Any defect will need to be evaluated for critical operation.
Ensure all screws along the control solenoid valve assembly housing are present. Remove and closely
examine the filter plate assembly (3) for sediment or debris attached to the screen. If sediment or debris is
found on the filter screen, be sure to inspect the solenoid supply or control ports that correspond to
location of the debris on the filter plate screen. Inspect the filter plate gasket for proper sealing. If poor
sealing is found, be sure to inspect the affected solenoid fluid port entrance and exit for sediment or
debris deposits. Thoroughly flush the solenoid cavity with GM Brake Parts Cleaner and replace the filter
plate assembly (3). It is not necessary to remove all clutch plate soot from the entire surface of the control
solenoid valve assembly housing. Inspect the control solenoid valve assembly filter plate retaining tabs
(7). Broken or missing tabs do not require the control solenoid valve assembly be replaced. The filter
plate can still be adequately aligned using the bolt hole sleeves. Early design control solenoid valve

1. With the filter plate removed, the control solenoid valve assemblies (1-8) can be inspected. Closely
examine the solenoid electrical contact lead solder connections (11-18). Look for material that could
make contact between the electrical leads. This is where material particles, metallic slivers, debris or
cardiagn.com
sediment (20) can collect. Carefully inspect all sixteen solenoid electrical contact leads (11-18) for build
up of material that could form an electrical short. Inspect the solenoid contact leads (11-18) for terminal
separation or weak solder joints. Thoroughly flush away all debris with GM Brake Parts Cleaner.
2. Inspect the transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor (9), the input speed sensor/output speed sensor
(ISS/OSS) connector (10), and the internal mode switch (IMS) connector (19). Look inside the connector
cavities for material that could make contact between the electrical pins. Also look for bent or loose
electrical pins. If the TFT sensor (9) is heavily coated with clutch soot, rinse with GM Brake Parts
Cleaner.
3. Check the resistance of the solenoids at room temperature and verify with the following table. If the
resistance is not within the expected range, carefully inspect the solenoid contact leads.

Circuit/System Description
cardiagn.com
The Tow/Haul Mode indicator bulb on the instrument cluster is supplied 12 volts and ground by the instrument
cluster module. When the Tow/Haul mode is selected, the body control module will send a request on the serial
data communication line to the instrument cluster module to turn ON the Tow/Haul indicator. Pressing and
releasing the Tow/Haul Switch again will turn OFF the indicator and return the transmission to normal shifting.
Diagnostic Aids
If the electrical circuit checks are OK and the tow/haul shift pattern is not occurring, there may be a
mechanical/hydraulic condition that prevents tow/haul operation. Refer to Symptoms - Automatic
Transmission.

This procedure checks the transmission fluid level, as well as the condition of the fluid itself.
CAUTION: Always use the proper automatic transmission fluid listed. Using incorrect
automatic transmission fluid may damage the vehicle.
1. Start the engine and park the vehicle on a level surface. Keep the engine running.
2. Apply the parking brake and place the shift lever in PARK (P).
3. Depress the brake pedal and move the shift lever through each gear range, pausing for about 3 seconds in
each range. Then, move the shift lever back to PARK (P).
4. Allow the engine to idle 500-800 rpm for at least 1 minute. Slowly release the brake pedal.
5. Keep the engine running and observe the transmission fluid temperature (TFT) using the Driver
Information Center (DIC) or a scan tool.
6. Using the TFT reading, determine and perform the appropriate check procedure. If the TFT reading is not
within the required temperature ranges, allow the vehicle to cool, or operate the vehicle until the
appropriate TFT is reached.
NOTE: Always check the fluid level at least twice. Consistent readings are
important to maintaining proper fluid level. If inconsistent readings are
noted, inspect the transmission vent assembly to ensure it is clean and
unclogged.
4. Check both sides of the dipstick, and read the lower level. Repeat the check procedure to verify the
reading.
5. Inspect the color of the fluid on the dipstick. Refer to Fluid Condition Inspection in this procedure.
6. If the fluid level is below the COLD check band, add only enough fluid as necessary to bring the level
into the COLD band. It does not take much fluid, generally less than one pint (0.5L). Do not overfill.
7. If the fluid level is in the acceptable range, push the dipstick back in all the way, then flip the handle
down to lock the dipstick in place.
cardiagn.com
8. Perform a hot check at the first opportunity after the transmission reaches a normal operating temperature
between 160°F to 200°F (71°C to 93°C).
NOTE: Use this procedure to check the transmission fluid level when the TFT is
between 160°F and 200°F (71°C and 93°C). The hot check procedure
is the most accurate method to check the fluid level. The hot check should
be performed at the first opportunity in order to verify the cold check. The
fluid level rises as fluid temperature increases, so it is important to ensure
the transmission temperature is within range.
1. Locate the transmission dipstick at the rear of the engine compartment, on the passenger's side of the
vehicle.
2. Flip the handle up, and then pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag or paper towel.
3. Install the dipstick by pushing it back in all the way, wait three seconds and then pull it back out again.
NOTE: Always check the fluid level at least twice. Consistent readings are
important to maintaining proper fluid level. If inconsistent readings are
noted, inspect the transmission vent assembly to ensure it is clean and
unclogged.
4. Check both sides of the dipstick, and read the lower level. Repeat the check procedure to verify the
reading.
5. Inspect the color of the fluid on the dipstick. Refer to Fluid Condition Inspection.
6. A safe operating fluid level is within the HOT crosshatch band on the dipstick. If the fluid level is not
within the HOT band, and the TFT is between 160°F and 200°F (71°C and 93°C), add or drain
fluid as necessary to bring the level into the HOT band. If the fluid level is low, add only enough fluid to
bring the level into the HOT band. It does not take much fluid, generally less than one pint (0.5L). Do not
overfill. Also, if the fluid level is low, inspect the transmission for leaks. Refer to Fluid Leak Diagnosis.
7. If the fluid level is in the acceptable range, push the dipstick back in all the way, then flip the handle
Inspect the fluid color. The fluid should be red or dark brown.
If the fluid color is very dark or black and has a burnt odor, inspect the fluid and inside of the bottom pan
for excessive metal particles or other debris. A small amount of "friction" material in the bottom pan is a
"normal" condition. If large pieces and/or metal particles are noted in the fluid or bottom pan, flush the oil
cooler and cooler lines and overhaul the transmission. If there are no signs of transmission internal
damage noted, replace the fluid filter assembly, repair the oil cooler, and flush the cooler lines.
Fluid that is cloudy or milky or appears to be contaminated with water indicates engine coolant or water
contamination. Refer to Engine Coolant/Water in Transmission.

2. Place the gear selector in the DRIVE position.
3. Accelerate the vehicle using a steady throttle position between 15 and 20 percent. Hold the throttle steady.
4. As the transmission upshifts, there should be a noticeable shift feel or engine speed change within 1 to 2
seconds of the commanded gear change. The PC solenoid pressure command should change to "YES" for
the oncoming clutch and the PC solenoid pressure command should change to "NO" for the offgoing
clutch.
5. Note any harsh, soft or delayed shifts or slipping. Note any noise or vibration.
6. The TCC feel may not be noticeable. In many applications the TCC will apply after the 1-2 shift and TCC
events will not be easily detected using engine speed.
When the TCC applies, slip speed should be controlled to below 100 RPM when the transmission is not

8. Note any harsh, soft or delayed shifts or slipping. Note any noise or vibration.
Manual Downshifts
Manual downshift testing is not required since all vehicles equipped with the 6L45/50/80/90 are also equipped
with some form of Driver Shift Control (DSC). The TCM will automatically override DSC downshifts to
protect the transmission from damage.
Coasting Downshifts
Reverse
Refer to the owner's manual for specific instructions on the type of DSC available in this application. Utilize the
DSC to ensure that the transmission responds appropriately to driver's commands. The TCM will upshift
automatically when maximum engine speed is achieved and will protect from any downshift which may cause
excessive engine RPMs.
The torque converter stator roller clutch can have 2 different malfunctions.
Poor Acceleration at Low Speed - Stator Roller Clutch Freewheels at All Times
If the stator is freewheeling at all times, the vehicle tends to have poor acceleration from a standstill and at
speeds below 48-55 km/h (30-34 mph). At speeds above 48-55 km/h (30-34 mph), the vehicle may act
cardiagn.com
normally.
For poor acceleration at low speeds, you should first determine that the exhaust system is not blocked, and the
transmission is in First gear when starting out. If the engine freely accelerates to high RPM in NEUTRAL, you
can assume that the engine and the exhaust system are normal. Check for poor performance in DRIVE and
REVERSE to help determine if the stator is freewheeling at all times.
Poor Acceleration at High Speed - Stator Roller Clutch is Locked Up at All Times
If the stator is locked up at all times, performance is normal when accelerating from a standstill. Engine RPM
and vehicle speed are limited or restricted at speeds above 48-55 km/h (30-34 mph). Visual examination of the
converter may reveal a blue color from overheating.
NOTE: Do not confuse this noise with pump whine noise, which is usually noticeable in
all gear ranges. Pump whine will vary with line pressure.
Torque converter whine is noticed when the vehicle is stopped and the transmission is in DRIVE or REVERSE.
This noise will increase as you increase the engine RPM. The noise will stop when the vehicle is moving or
when you apply the torque converter clutch, because there is no slip speed across the bearings.
Perform a stall test to verify that the noise is actually coming from the torque converter:
CAUTION: You may damage the transmission if you depress the accelerator for more
than 6 seconds.
3. Depress the accelerator to approximately 1,200 RPM for no more than six seconds.
The torque converter clutch (TCC) is applied by fluid pressure, which is controlled by a TCC pressure control
(PC) solenoid. This solenoid is part of the control solenoid valve assembly, which is located inside the
automatic transmission assembly. The solenoid is controlled through a combination of computer controlled
switches and sensors. Electronically controlled capacity clutch (ECCC) is controlled slip across the TCC.
The key to diagnosing torque converter clutch (TCC) shudder is to note when it happens and under what
conditions. TCC shudder should only occur during the apply, release, or ECCC conditions of the converter
clutch. Shudder should never occur after the TCC is fully locked (approximately 0 RPM slip).
If the shudder occurs while the TCC is applying, the problem can be within the transmission or the torque
converter. Something is causing one of the following conditions to occur:
cardiagn.com
The clutch is releasing and applying rapidly and continuously.
One of the following conditions may be causing the TCC Shudder to occur:
Engine problems may go unnoticed under light throttle and load, but they become noticeable after the TCC has
locked when going up a hill or accelerating.
Refer to Symptoms - Engine Controls , 4.3L or Symptoms - Engine Controls 5.3L in order to avoid
misdiagnosis of TCC shudder and the unnecessary disassembly of a transmission or the unnecessary
replacement of a torque converter.
NOTE: The Noise and Vibration Analysis procedure should be performed prior to
performing this test.
Isolating Vibration
1. With the engine at idle speed and the transmission in PARK or NEUTRAL, observe the vibration.
To determine and correct a torque converter vibration, the following procedure may have to be performed
several times to achieve the best possible torque converter to flexplate balance.
cardiagn.com
CAUTION: When installing the torque converter to the flexplate, make sure to use
specified bolts. DO NOT use longer bolts. Using longer bolts will result in
deformation of the torque converter cover and cause internal damage.
3. Align the torque converter pilot (2) in the engine crankshaft (3). Install the torque converter to flexplate
bolts, and tighten according to Fastener Specifications (On Vehicle) Fastener Specifications (Off
Vehicle) .
4. Lower the vehicle.
5. With the engine at idle speed and the transmission in PARK or NEUTRAL, observe the vibration.
6. Install the torque converter access cover and bolts (if equipped) and tighten according to Fastener
Specifications (On Vehicle) Fastener Specifications (Off Vehicle) .

EL-35616 Terminal Test Probe Kit
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be intermittent. An
intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the symptom cannot be duplicated.
Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of causing the condition before trying to locate an
intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following
items:
1 of 94 2/22/2019, 9:07 PM
operation.
Some intermittent conditions can be caused by wire terminal fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion is a build-up
of insulating, oxidized wear debris that can form when there is a small motion between electrical contacts. The
oxidized wear debris can pile up enough at the electrical contact spots that the electrical resistance across the
connection increases. Movement between the contacting surfaces as small as 10 to 100 microns can cause
fretting. To put this in perspective, a sheet of paper is about 100 microns thick, so fretting motion is small and
hard to see. Vibration and thermal expansion/contraction are the main sources that create fretting motion. Since
vehicles vibrate and can experience large temperature swings, they are a good source for fretting motion. Tin,
copper, nickel, and iron surfaces are all susceptible to fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion can be difficult to
see but it looks like small, dark smudges on the terminals contact surface.
To correct a fretting condition disconnect the suspect connector and add dielectric grease / lubricant (Nyogel
760G or equivalent, meeting GM specification 9986087) to both sides of the connector terminals. Then
reconnect the connector and wipe away any excess lubricant. This will correct the additional terminal contact
resistance due to the terminal fretting corrosion.
cardiagn.com
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect
component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between
the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged
connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause
contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion,
causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always
use the EL-35616 kit when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining
the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the
female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses and relays in
a bussed electrical center. Use the EL-35616 kit to test for proper terminal contact. Failure to use the EL-35616
kit can result in improper diagnosis of the bussed electrical center.

There are no serviceable parts for flat wire connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying voltage to
a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply circuits that may
also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors, fuses, and any
cardiagn.com
intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component. A test lamp or a DMM
may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current.
Operate the component to test the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current. Refer to Circuit Testing
, and Power Distribution Schematics (1500) Power Distribution Schematics (2500/3500) .
Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple ground
circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need to be tested.
Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point (screw or stud). Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Operate the component to test the
ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current. Refer to Circuit Testing , and Ground Distribution
Schematics (1500) Ground Distribution Schematics (2500/3500) .

related.
If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the condition.
Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference or other types of electrical
noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
A mis-routed harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary ignition
components, motors, generator etc. - These components may induce electrical noise on a circuit that could
interfere with normal circuit operation.
Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven solenoid or
switch - These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will occur when the
malfunctioning component is operating.
Installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way radios, amplifiers,
electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc. - These accessories may create
interference in other circuits while operating and the interference would disappear when the accessory is
not operating. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories .

Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays may
contain a clamping diode.
The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
A new service control module is installed.
A control module from another vehicle is installed.
Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming is
found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References for replacement, setup, and programming.
