DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS
Throttle Positions

Engine Braking

A condition where the engine is used to slow the vehicle by manually downshifting during a zero throttle
coastdown.

Full Throttle Detent Downshift

A quick apply of the accelerator pedal to its full travel, forcing a downshift.

cardiagn.com
Heavy Throttle

Approximately 3/4 of accelerator pedal travel, 75 percent throttle position.

Light Throttle

Approximately 1/4 of accelerator pedal travel, 25 percent throttle position.

Medium Throttle

Approximately 1/2 of accelerator pedal travel, 50 percent throttle position.

Minimum Throttle

The least amount of throttle opening required for an upshift.

Wide Open Throttle (WOT)

Full travel of the accelerator pedal, 100 percent throttle position.

Zero Throttle Coastdown

A full release of the accelerator pedal while the vehicle is in motion and in drive range.

Shift Condition Definitions

Bump

A sudden and forceful apply of a clutch or a band.

Chuggle

A bucking or jerking. This condition may be most noticeable when the converter clutch is engaged. It is
similar to the feel of towing a trailer.

1 of 50 2/22/2019, 9:00 PM
Delayed

A condition where a shift is expected but does not occur for a period of time. This could be described as a
clutch or band engagement that does not occur as quickly as expected during a part throttle or wide open
throttle apply of the accelerator, or during manual downshifting to a lower range. This term is also
defined as LATE or EXTENDED.

Double Bump - Double Feel

Two sudden and forceful applies of a clutch or a band.

Early

A condition where the shift occurs before the car has reached proper speed. This condition tends to labor
the engine after the upshift.

End Bump

A firmer feel at the end of a shift than at the start of the shift. This is also defined as END FEEL or SLIP
BUMP.

cardiagn.com
Firm

A noticeably quick apply of a clutch or band that is considered normal with a medium to heavy throttle.
This apply should not be confused with HARSH or ROUGH.

Flare

A quick increase in engine RPM along with a momentary loss of torque. This most generally occurs
during a shift. This condition is also defined as SLIPPING.

Harsh - Rough

A more noticeable apply of a clutch or band than FIRM. This condition is considered undesirable at any
throttle position.

Hunting

A repeating quick series of upshifts and downshifts that causes a noticeable change in engine RPM, such
as a 4-3-4 shift pattern. This condition is also defined as BUSYNESS.

Initial Feel

A distinctly firmer feel at the start of a shift than at the finish of the shift.

Late

A shift that occurs when the engine RPM is higher than normal for a given amount of throttle.

Shudder

A repeating jerking condition similar to CHUGGLE but more severe and rapid. This condition may be
most noticeable during certain ranges of vehicle speed.

2 of 50 2/22/2019, 9:00 PM
Slipping

A noticeable increase in engine RPM without a vehicle speed increase. A slip usually occurs during or
after initial clutch or band apply.

Soft

A slow, almost unnoticeable clutch or band apply with very little shift feel.

Surge

A repeating engine related condition of acceleration and deceleration that is less intense than CHUGGLE.

Tie-Up

A condition where two opposing clutch and/or bands are attempting to apply at the same time causing the
engine to labor with a noticeable loss of engine RPM.

Noise Conditions

Drive Link Noise

cardiagn.com
A whine or growl that increases or fades with vehicle speed, and is most noticeable under a light throttle
acceleration. It may also be noticeable in PARK or NEUTRAL operating ranges with the vehicle
stationary.

Final Drive Noise

A hum related to vehicle speed which is most noticeable under a light throttle acceleration.

Planetary Gear Noise

A whine related to vehicle speed, which is most noticeable in FIRST gear, SECOND gear, FOURTH gear
or REVERSE. The condition may become less noticeable, or go away, after an upshift.

Pump Noise

A high pitched whine that increases in intensity with engine RPM. This condition may also be noticeable
in all operating ranges with the vehicle stationary or moving.

Torque Converter Noise

A whine usually noticed when a vehicle is stopped, and the transmission is in DRIVE or REVERSE. The
noise will increase with engine RPM.

Driver Shift Control

Driver shift control (DSC) allows the driver to change gears similar to a manual transmission.

TRANSMISSION GENERAL DESCRIPTION

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

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.

The transmission may be operated in any of the following gear ranges:

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)

This position allows the vehicle to be operated in a rearward direction.

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.

MANUAL MODE (M)

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

The mechanical components of the 6-Speed RWD are as follows:

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 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

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 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


Transmission Gear Shift Lever

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.

Transmission Manual Shift Switch - Up/Down

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.

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.

Manual Mode Shifting Operation

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.

10 of 50 2/22/2019, 9:00 PM
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.

TRANSMISSION ADAPTIVE FUNCTIONS

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.

TRANSMISSION INDICATORS AND MESSAGES

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 .

"TRANSMISSION HOT IDLE ENGINE"

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"

This message displays when there is a problem with the transmission.

ELECTRONIC COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

The control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly contains the following components:

Transmission control module (TCM)


Clutch pressure control solenoids (Clutch PC Sol)

The transmission manual shift shaft switch assembly is a sliding contact switch attached to the manual shift
shaft inside the transmission case. The five inputs to the TCM from the transmission manual shift shaft switch
assembly indicate the transmission gear selector lever position. This information is used for engine controls as
well as determining the transmission shift patterns. The state of each input is available for display on the scan
tool. The five input parameters represented are Signal A, Signal B, Signal C, Signal P (Parity) and Signal N
(P/N Start).

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.

Output Speed Sensor (OSS)

The output speed sensor (OSS) is a hall-effect type sensor. The OSS 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 output shaft machined teeth surface. The sensor receives 8.3-9.3 volts on the ISS/OSS supply voltage
circuit from the TCM. As the output shaft rotates, the sensor produces a signal frequency based on the machined
surface of the output shaft. This signal is transmitted through the OSS signal circuit to the TCM. The TCM uses
the OSS signal to determine line pressure, transmission shift patterns, torque converter clutch (TCC) slip speed
and gear ratio.

PARK - ENGINE RUNNING

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:

Fluid Pressure Directed in Preparation for a Shift

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.

CBR1/C456 Pressure Control (PC) Solenoid 3

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.

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).

TCC Regulator Valve and Shuttle Valve

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.

#2 Ball Check Valve

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.

Clutch Select Valve 2

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.

3-5 Reverse Clutch Regulator 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.

#3 Ball Check Valve

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.

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:

Fluid Pressure Directed in Preparation for a Shift

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.

#2 Ball Check Valve

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.

Clutch Select Valve 2

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.

Low and Reverse Clutch Applies

Clutch Select Valve 3

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.

Low and Reverse Clutch

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).

#5 Ball Check Valve

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.

3-5 Reverse Clutch Applies

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.

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 and
the 3-5 reverse boost valve. PS1 fluid from pressure switch 1 exhausts through the valve allowing the switch to
close.

3-5 Reverse Boost Valve

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.

3-5 Reverse 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.

Reverse

NEUTRAL - ENGINE RUNNING

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:

3-5 Reverse Clutch Releases

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.

C35R Pressure Control Solenoid 2

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.

3-5 Reverse Clutch Boost Valve

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.

3-5 Reverse Clutch Regulator Valve

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.

3-5 Reverse Clutch

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.

Clutch Select Valve 3

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.

DRIVE RANGE, FIRST GEAR ENGINE BRAKING

When the gear selector lever is moved to the Drive (D) range from the Neutral (N) position, the transmission
will provide engine braking. In this operating range, the normally-low C1234 pressure control solenoid 5 is
commanded ON and in the engine braking mode the following changes occur within the hydraulic circuits:

22 of 50 2/22/2019, 9:00 PM
Fluid Pressure is Directed to the 1-2-3-4 Clutch and the Low and Reverse Clutch to Provide Engine Braking

Manual Valve

The manual valve is moved to the Drive (D) position and allows line fluid pressure to enter the drive fluid
circuit. Drive fluid is then routed to the clutch select valve 2.

Clutch Select Valve 2

Drive fluid at the clutch select valve 2 passes through the valve and enters the drive brake circuit. Drive brake
fluid is then routed to the clutch select valve 3.

Clutch Select Valve 3

Drive brake fluid at the clutch select valve 3 passes through the valve and enters the Drive B fluid circuit. Drive
B fluid is then routed to #1 ball check valve.

#1 Ball Check Valve

Drive B fluid seats the #1 ball check valve against drive 1-6 fluid to force drive B fluid into the CB26/C1234

feed passage. CB26/C1234 feed fluid is routed to the #6 ball check valve, through orifice #43 and, to the 2-6
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.

#6 Ball Check Valve

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.

1-2-3-4 Clutch Applies

C1234 Pressure Control Solenoid 5

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.

1-2-3-4 Clutch Regulator 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.

1-2-3-4 Clutch Boost Valve

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.

23 of 50 2/22/2019, 9:00 PM
1-2-3-4 Clutch

The 1234 clutch fluid enters the 1234 clutch housing to move the piston against spring force and compensator

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

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.

CBR1/C456 Pressure Control Solenoid 3

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

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.

#4 Ball Check Valve

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.

and then to the 3-5 reverse clutch boost valve.

3-5 Reverse Clutch Boost Valve

27 of 50 2/22/2019, 9:00 PM
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.

3-5 Reverse Clutch Regulator Valve

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.

3-5 Reverse Clutch

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.

1-2-3-4 Clutch Stays Applied

Shift Solenoid 2

Shift solenoid 2 defaults to it's normally-closed state (OFF), and SOL 2 fluid exhausts through the solenoid.

Clutch Select Valve 3

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.

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.

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.

DTC Descriptor

DTC P071A

Transmission Tow Mode Switch Circuit

cardiagn.com
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.

DTC P0741

Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) System - Stuck Off - Transmission Hydraulic/Mechanical Performance

DTC P0742

Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) System - Stuck On - Transmission Hydraulic/Mechanical Performance

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 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 Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch 1 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 1. The Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch 1 has an internal case ground. Transmission Fluid Pressure

59 of 197 2/22/2019, 9:03 PM


Switch 1 is normally closed or LOW. When oil pressure is present at the Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch 1,
the switch is open or HIGH. The normally high clutch pressure control (PC) solenoid 2 controls pressure to the
3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve. The Transmission Control Module monitors the Transmission Fluid Pressure
Switch 1 to determine the position of the 3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve. When the 3-5 reverse clutch is
commanded OFF, pressure is present on the Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch 1. When the 3-5 reverse clutch
is commanded ON, the 3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve moves and pressure to the Transmission Fluid
Pressure Switch 1 is exhausted through the 3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve.

Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch DTC to intermittently set. This type of condition should not be immediately
noticeable to a customer, as the switch outputs are used for shift adaptive pressure and do not cause
transmission symptoms unless the switch malfunctions continuously for an extended period of time.

Line Pressure Control Solenoid Valve Control Circuit Low Voltage

DTC P0963

Circuit/System Description

The line pressure control solenoid is part of the control solenoid valve assembly which has no serviceable parts.
The normally high line pressure control solenoid regulates and directs the pressure control solenoid oil pressure
to the isolator/pressure regulator valve. Increasing pressure control solenoid line pressure increases transmission
line pressure. The Transmission Control Module varies the current to the line pressure control solenoid through
a low side driver. Decreasing the current to the line pressure control solenoid increases line pressure control
solenoid oil pressure by closing OFF the solenoid exhaust port. Increasing the current to the line pressure
control solenoid decreases line pressure control oil pressure by opening the solenoid exhaust port. Line 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.

2 pressure increases pressure to the 3-5 reverse clutch. The Transmission Control Module varies the current to
the pressure control solenoid 2 through a low side driver. Decreasing the current to the pressure control solenoid
2 increases pressure control solenoid 2 oil pressure by closing OFF the solenoid exhaust port. Increasing the
current to the pressure control solenoid 2 decreases pressure control solenoid 2 oil pressure by opening the
solenoid exhaust port. Pressure control solenoid 2 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.

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

Diagnostic Aids

cardiagn.com
A Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch may malfunction due to normal debris in the transmission fluid causing a
Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch DTC to intermittently set. This type of condition should not be immediately
noticeable to a customer, as the switch outputs are used for shift adaptive pressure and do not cause
transmission symptoms unless the switch malfunctions continuously for an extended period of time.

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.

Circuit/System Description

The pressure control solenoid 4 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly which has no serviceable parts.
The normally low pressure control solenoid 4 regulates and directs oil pressure to the 2-6 clutch regulator valve.
Increasing pressure control solenoid 4 pressure increases pressure to the 2-6 clutch regulator valve. The
Transmission Control Module varies the current to the pressure control solenoid 4 through a low side driver.
Increasing the current to pressure control solenoid 4 increases oil pressure by closing OFF the solenoid exhaust
port. Decreasing the current to pressure control solenoid 4 decreases oil pressure by opening the exhaust port.
Pressure control solenoid 4 power is supplied by the Transmission Control Module through a high side driver.

125 of 197 2/22/2019, 9:03 PM


Four Wheel Drive (4WD) Switch Circuit

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.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The engine speed is greater than 200 RPM.


The transmission output speed is greater than 60 RPM.
The transmission fluid temperature is between 20°C (68°F) and 130°C (266°F).

Diagnostic Fault Information

Short to Open/High Short to Signal


Circuit Ground Resistance Voltage Performance
4WD Low Signal P2771 P2771 - -

Circuit/System Description

Circuit Description
The control module input circuit has an internal resistance
4WD Low Signal connected to 12 V.
When the switch is closed it will pull the signal voltage low.
Components:
K20 Engine Control Module
M26 Front Axle Engagement Actuator
S77 Transfer Case Shift Control Switch

The S77 Transfer Case Shift Control Switch contains the 4WD Low Signal circuit with its internal ground and
the front Axle Actuator - Control circuit with its wired ground.

The NQG Transfer Case uses a dedicated 4WD Low circuit to notify the K20 Engine Control Module (ECM)
that the vehicle is in 4WD low range. The ECM supplies 12 volts to the 4WD Low Signal circuit. When the
operator selects 4WD Low, the S77 Transfer Case Shift Control Switch grounds the signal circuit. The voltage

128 of 197 2/22/2019, 9:03 PM


on the 4WD low signal circuit changes from ignition voltage to zero volts. The ECM detects this voltage change
and sends a message to the K71 Transmission Control Module (TCM) that the transfer case is in 4WD Low.
The TCM then compensates for transfer case gear reduction in the B14 Transmission Output Shaft Speed (OSS)
Sensor signal. The TCM uses the transmission OSS sensor signal to adjust shift points, line pressure and torque
converter clutch (TCC) scheduling.

The S77 Transfer Case Shift Control Switch also controls the grounding of the front Axle Actuator - Control
circuit which controls the engagement/disengagement of the front axle. When the front Axle Actuator - Control
circuit is Open, the plunger on the M26 Front Axle Engagement Actuator is retracted which disengages the
front axle. When closed, the plunger on the front axle engagement actuator is extended engaging the front axle.

Conditions for Running the DTC

No throttle position (TP) sensor DTCs P0122, or P0123.


No OSS assembly DTCs P0722 or P0723.
No cam or crank sensor DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids

129 of 197 2/22/2019, 9:03 PM


A malfunctioning speed sensor could cause DTC P2771 to set.
Verify that the input speed sensor (ISS) and the OSS are functioning properly.
Road test the vehicle while monitoring the transmission OSS parameter on the scan tool. The
transmission OSS parameter should vary with transmission ISS and engine speed. As engine speed
increases, transmission ISS and OSS RPM should increase. As engine speed decreases, transmission ISS
and OSS RPM should decrease. If not refer to DTC P0716 for the ISS and DTC P0723 for the OSS.
If the speed sensors pass testing, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections .
A fault on the Front Axle - Control circuit may cause DTC P2771 to set.
Selecting 4WD Low and then driving the vehicle before the transfer case has time to change range to
4WD Low may set DTC P2771.
Selecting 2WD High or 4WD High and then driving the vehicle before the transfer case has time to
change range to the new range may set DTC P2771.
EL-49742 harness is a good source for B+ and ground.
The transfer case drain plug is a good source for ground.

CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE AND TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE ASSEMBLY


INSPECTION

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.

139 of 197 2/22/2019, 9:03 PM


Lighting - Good lighting is necessary for a thorough inspection. If shop lighting is limited, use natural
light. A second source of lighting, such as a penlight, is helpful for close examination. A magnifying
glass can also be helpful to see into difficult places.
Cleaning - Clean shop air may be used for spot cleaning as long as the debris can be removed with out it
becoming lodged somewhere else. It is best to rinse or flush particles away with GM Brake Parts Cleaner.
Do not use a cloth rag to wipe the control solenoid valve assembly, as it could leave lint behind.

Control Solenoid Valve Assembly Housing and Filter Plate

Courtesy of GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY

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

140 of 197 2/22/2019, 9:03 PM


assembly use four filter plate retaining tabs (7).
2. Examine the 16-way connector (5) cavity for material that could make contact between the electrical pins.
Also, look for bent or loose connector pins and ensure the connector lock (6) is functioning and is in good
condition.

plate screen. The filter plate gasket may be leaking caused by a torn gasket, poor sealing, or a deformed
plate. As necessary, thoroughly flush away all debris in the supply and control fluid ports with GM Brake
Parts Cleaner.
2. Inspect the four transmission fluid pressure (TFP) switches (17-20) for trapped debris or sediment. Any
sediment or debris found under a switch membrane requires the control solenoid valve assembly to be
replaced. Check all TFP switch membranes (21) for cracks, cuts or pin holes. Ensure all TFP switch
gaskets (22) are secure and are not deformed, torn, or improperly seated. As necessary, thoroughly rinse
debris and sediment from the top of the switches. It is not necessary to remove the clutch plate soot from
the entire surface of the control solenoid valve assembly housing.

SOLENOID PERFORMANCE TEST

Special Tools

DT-47825 Control Solenoid Test Plate

The purpose of this procedure is to test the operation of the control solenoid valve assembly for a stuck open or
stuck closed solenoid. The DT-47825 control solenoid test plate bolts to the mounting surface of the control
solenoid valve assembly. Pressurized air is routed into the aluminum test block, through the control solenoid
valve assembly, and back to the gauge on the test block.

145 of 197 2/22/2019, 9:03 PM


A pressure gauge is used to measure the pressurized air through the solenoid control ports. When a solenoid is
commanded ON with the scan tool, pressurized air flows through the solenoid control port and displays on the
pressure gauge. When the solenoid is commanded OFF with the scan tool, there is no pressurized air flow
through the solenoid control port to the pressure gauge. The recommended shop air pressure for this test is
620.5-690.4 Kpa (90-100 psi).

TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL AND CONDITION CHECK

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.

Before checking the fluid level, perform the following:

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.

Cold Check Procedure

NOTE: Use this procedure only as a reference to determine if the transmission


has enough fluid to be operated safely until a hot check procedure can be
made. The hot check procedure is the most accurate method to check the
fluid level. Perform the hot check procedure at the first opportunity. Use
this cold check procedure to check fluid level when the TFT is between
80°F and 90°F (27°C and 32°C).

152 of 197 2/22/2019, 9:03 PM


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 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).

Hot Check Procedure

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

153 of 197 2/22/2019, 9:03 PM


down to lock the dipstick in place.
8. If applicable and if the vehicle is equipped, reset the transmission oil life monitor only if the fluid was
changed.

Fluid Condition Inspection

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.

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.

NOTE: This transmission is equipped with an electronically controlled capacity


clutch (ECCC), which allows operation of the clutch without fully locking
to the torque converter cover. The clutch maintains a small amount of
slippage, approximately 20 RPM, in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th gears,
depending on the vehicle application. ECCC was developed to reduce the
possibility of noise, vibration or chuggle caused by TCC apply. Full lockup
is available at highway speeds on some applications.

7. Monitor TCC PC solenoid pressure command while driving and check TCC slip speed when the pressure
command indicates that the TCC is commanded to apply:

When the TCC applies, slip speed should be controlled to below 100 RPM when the transmission is not
shifting and the throttle is held steady. If the TCC slip exceeds this value for more than 6 seconds after the
TCC PC Sol. Pressure Command indicates that the TCC is commanded on:

Check for DTCs.


Refer to Torque Converter Diagnosis.

Part Throttle Step-In Downshifts

1. Place the gear selector in the DRIVE position.


2. Accelerate the vehicle at light throttle (5-15 percent) until 3rd gear is just achieved.
3. Quickly increase throttle angle until commanded gear indicates that a downshift to 2nd gear is
commanded.
4. Verify that the transmission downshifts within 2 seconds of the throttle movement.
5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 at higher speed to achieve 4th gear and then step in to command a 4th gear to 3rd gear

cardiagn.com
downshift.
6. Repeat steps 2 to 4 at higher speed to achieve 5th gear and then step in to command a 5th to 4th gear
downshift.
7. Repeat steps 2 to 4 at higher speed to achieve 6th gear and then step in to command a 6th gear to 5th gear
downshift.
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

1. Place the gear selector in the DRIVE position.


2. Accelerate the vehicle to 6th gear with the TCC applied.
3. Release the throttle and apply the brakes.
4. Verify that the downshifts occur as commanded by monitoring gear ratio, which should change after
commanded gear changes.

Manual Gear Range Selection

This application does not utilize manual forward gear ranges.

Reverse

Perform the following test using a 10-15 percent throttle position.

1. With the vehicle stopped, move the gear selector to REVERSE.


2. Slowly accelerate the vehicle.
3. Verify that there is no noticeable slip, noise or vibration.

160 of 197 2/22/2019, 9:03 PM


Driver Shift Control (DSC)

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.

TORQUE CONVERTER DIAGNOSIS


Torque Converter Stator

The torque converter stator roller clutch can have 2 different malfunctions.

The stator assembly freewheels in both directions.


The stator assembly remains locked up in both directions.

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.

Torque Converter Bearing Noise

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:

1. Place your foot on the brake.


2. Put the gear selector in DRIVE.

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.

A torque converter noise will increase under this load.

161 of 197 2/22/2019, 9:03 PM


Torque Converter Clutch

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.

Torque Converter Clutch Shudder

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 Shudder Occurs During TCC Apply, Release, and ECCC

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:

The clutch is not engaging completely.


The clutch is not releasing completely.

cardiagn.com
The clutch is releasing and applying rapidly and continuously.

One of the following conditions may be causing the TCC Shudder to occur:

Leaking turbine shaft/TCC seals


A restricted release orifice
A distorted clutch or converter cover due to long flexplate to converter bolts
Defective friction material on the TCC plate

If Shudder Occurs After TCC has Locked

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.

Torque Converter Vibration Test

NOTE: The Noise and Vibration Analysis procedure should be performed prior to
performing this test.

Isolating Vibration

NOTE: Some engine/transmission combinations cannot be balanced in this manner


due to restricted access or limited clearances between the torque converter
bolts and the engine.

To isolate and correct a flexplate or torque converter vibration:

1. With the engine at idle speed and the transmission in PARK or NEUTRAL, observe the vibration.

162 of 197 2/22/2019, 9:03 PM


2. Turn the engine OFF.
3. Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle .

CLUTCH PLATE DIAGNOSIS


Composition Plates

Dry the plates and inspect the plates for the following conditions:

Pitting
Flaking
Delamination-splitting or separation of bonded clutch material
Wear
Glazing
Cracking
Charring
Chips or metal particles embedded in the lining

Replace a composition plate which shows any of these conditions.

172 of 197 2/22/2019, 9:03 PM


Steel Plates

Wipe the plates dry and check the plates for heat discoloration. If the surfaces are smooth, even if color smear is
indicated, you can reuse the plate. If the plate is discolored with heat spots or if the surface is scuffed, replace
the plate.

Causes of Burned Clutch Plates

The following conditions can result in a burned clutch plate:

Incorrect usage of clutch or apply plates


Engine coolant or water in the transmission fluid
A cracked clutch piston
Damaged or missing seals
Low line pressure
Valve body conditions
The valve body face is not flat.
Porosity is between channels.

cardiagn.com
The valve bushing clips are improperly installed.
The checkballs are misplaced.
The Teflon® seal rings are worn or damaged.

ENGINE COOLANT/WATER IN TRANSMISSION

CAUTION: The antifreeze or water will deteriorate the seals, gaskets and the glue that
bonds the clutch material to the pressure plate. Both conditions may cause
damage to the transmission.

If antifreeze or water has entered the transmission, perform the following:

1. Disassemble the transmission.


2. Replace all of the rubber type seals. The coolant will attack the seal material which will cause leakage.
3. Replace the composition-faced clutch plate assemblies. The facing material may separate from the steel
center portion.
4. Replace all of the nylon parts - washers.
5. Replace the torque converter.
6. Thoroughly clean and rebuild the transmission, using new gaskets and oil filter.
7. Flush the cooler lines after the transmission cooler has been properly repaired or replaced.

FLUID LEAK DIAGNOSIS


General Method

1. Verify that the leak is transmission fluid.

CAUTION: Do not clean using brake cleaner or other reactive solvents as these
solvents can damage rubber gaskets, seals and bushings.

173 of 197 2/22/2019, 9:03 PM


2. Thoroughly clean the suspected leak area using a rag.

NOTE: Do not idle vehicle, this will not actuate transmission systems, and do not
drive the vehicle on the freeway as this will splatter oil inhibiting leak
diagnosis.

3. Operate the vehicle for 15-20 minutes under city driving conditions until normal operating temperatures
are reached.
4. Park the vehicle over clean paper or cardboard.
5. Shut OFF the engine.
6. Look for fluid spots on the paper.
7. Make the necessary repairs.

Powder Method

CAUTION: Do not clean using brake cleaner or other reactive solvents as these
solvents can damage rubber gaskets, seals and bushings.

cardiagn.com
1. Thoroughly clean the suspected leak area using a rag.
2. Apply an aerosol type powder, such as foot powder, to the suspected leak area.

NOTE: Do not idle vehicle, this will not actuate transmission systems, and do not
drive the vehicle on the freeway as this will splatter oil inhibiting leak
diagnosis.

3. Operate the vehicle for 15-20 minutes under city driving conditions until normal operating temperatures
are reached.
4. Shut OFF the engine.
5. Inspect the suspected leak area.
6. Trace the leak path through the powder in order to find the source of the leak.
7. Make the necessary repairs.

Dye and Black Light Method

A fluid dye and black light kit is available from various tool manufacturers.

1. Follow the manufacturer's instructions in order to determine the amount of dye to use.
2. Detect the leak with the black light.
3. Make the necessary repairs.

Find the Cause of the Leak

Pinpoint the leak and trace the leak back to the source. You must determine the cause of the leak in order to
repair the leak properly. For example, if you replace a gasket, but the sealing flange is bent, the new gasket will
not repair the leak. You must also repair the bent flange. Before you attempt to repair a leak, check for the
following conditions, and make repairs as necessary:

CASE POROSITY REPAIR

cardiagn.com
Some external leaks are caused by case porosity in non-pressurized areas. You can usually repair these leaks
with the transmission in the vehicle.

1. Thoroughly clean the area to be repaired with a cleaning solvent. Air dry the area.

WARNING: Epoxy adhesive may cause skin irritations and eye damage. Read and
follow all information on the container label as provided by the
manufacturer.

2. Using instructions from the manufacturer, mix a sufficient amount of an epoxy to make the repair.
3. While the transmission case is still hot, apply the epoxy. You can use a clean, dry soldering acid brush to
clean the area and also to apply the epoxy cement. Make certain that the area to be repaired is fully
covered.
4. Allow the epoxy cement to cure for three hours before starting the engine.
5. Repeat the fluid leak diagnosis procedures.

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:

Loose, corroded, or painted terminal stud/fastener


Wiring broken inside the insulation
Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
A terminal not seated all the way into the connector body
Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps,
poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion in the wire
to terminal contact area, etc.
Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The conductor
can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff sections of wire
in the suspect circuits.
Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent open or
short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order
to verify the customer concern.
Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder

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.

Testing for Proper Terminal Contact

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.

Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers

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.

Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:

1. Separate the connector halves.


2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green
build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance,
intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of
contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal/terminated lead, verify that the retention force is significantly different
between a known good terminal and the suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.

Flat Wire Connectors

2 of 94 2/22/2019, 9:07 PM
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire connectors on the harness side or the component side.

Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:

1. Remove the component in question.


2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the
connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to
ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter into the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question.

Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds

Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.

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) .

Temperature Sensitivity

An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating


temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when the
component/connection is hot.
Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type of
intermittent condition, where applicable.
If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
High ambient temperatures
Underhood/engine generated heat
Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
Low ambient temperatures - In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
The condition only occurs on a cold start.
The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is temperature

3 of 94 2/22/2019, 9:07 PM
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.

Electromagnetic Interference and Electrical Noise

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 .

cardiagn.com
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.

Incorrect Control Module

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.

NOTE: DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME


software/calibration files that are already present in the control module.
This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.

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.

TRANSMISSION MOUNT INSPECTION

CAUTION: To prevent transmission oil pan damage and possible transmission failure,
insert a block of wood that completely covers the bottom of the transmission oil
pan surface, between the transmission oil pan and the jack support. If the
inserted block of wood does not completely cover the bottom of the
transmission oil pan, this may result in damage to the transmission oil pan and
possible transmission failure.

1. Raise the transmission in order to remove the weight from the transmission mount and create slight

cardiagn.com
tension in the rubber.
2. Observe the transmission mount while raising the transmission. Replace the transmission/transaxle mount
if the transmission mount exhibits any of the following conditions:

NOTE: Black paint on the rubber will crack with time, this does no constitute
a failure.

The hard rubber surface is covered with heat check cracks.


The rubber is separated from the metal plate of the transmission mount.
The rubber is split through the center of the transmission mount.
3. If there is movement between the metal plate of the transmission mount and its attaching points, lower the
transmission on the transmission mount. Tighten the bolts or nuts attaching the transmission mount to the
frame or transmission mount bracket.
