changes that technical training has become an integral part of todays transmission
repair industry.
To that end, ATRA is pleased to present its 2006 Technical Seminar. Packed with countless hours of research and development, writing, editing, photography and layout, this
years seminar will stand out as one of the most demanding and useful technical training programs ever developed for this industry.
Once again, this years technical manual has been produced in full color. With over 325
pages of up-to-the-minute technical information, the 2006 Technical Seminar Manual
will remain a valuable resource long after the seminar is just a memory.
Were confident that youll find this years seminar presentation and technical manual
both informative and profitable. In fact, were so sure youll be satisfied with what you
learn in this program, we guarantee it!
This past year ATRA lost one of our own, Jim Lambos pasted away in December of 2005
from a vehicle accident. As a reminder of his countless hours speant helping our members, we have deticated this 2006 Technical Seminar Manual to him and his family.
On behalf of the entire ATRA staff, the international board of directors, and all of the
ATRA members worldwide, wed like to thank you for helping to make every day memorable.

In Memory Of Jim Lambos

Jim Lambos had been
promoted to the rank
of Master Sergeant,
and he had received
several awards and
decorations for
meritorious service.
IN MEMORY OF
JIM LAMBOS
by Paul Morton
James J. Jim Lambos joined the
technical staff of ATRA in April of this
year, following a distinguished 25-year
career with the U.S. Air Force. While
in the Air Force, Jim held a number
of increasingly responsible positions
related to the repair and maintenance
of vehicles. Not surprisingly, one
of his specialties was the repair and
rebuilding of transmissions. In fact,
this skill was put to good use while he
was stationed at the remote outpost of
Shemya, Alaska, where Jims ability
to rebuild transmissions saved the Air
Force thousands of dollars in unneeded
shipping costs. At the time of his
retirement, Jim had been promoted to
the rank of Master Sergeant, and he had
received several awards and decorations
for meritorious service.
In 1985, Jim married the former
Ronda McIntire, and together they had
two sons; Jimmy, 14, and Zane, 10.
Following his retirement, Jim
walked into the ATRA IBO and spoke
with ATRAs Technical Director, Lance
Wiggins. Though Lance will recall his
relationship with Jim in his own words,
he realized that Jim was someone he
wanted on the ATRA Technical team.
From the beginning, Jim began to make
a contribution. In fact, his rst technical
article appears in this issue, with a
forward written by Technical Editor
Larry Frash.
On the evening of
December 7, 2005, Jim
was driving his GTO in
nearby Ventura, when
he was involved in an
accident and killed. His
contribution and his loss
may best be described by
Lance Wiggins, in his own
words:
I try to learn from
my mistakes, and
the knowledge and
opinions of others. It
helps me grow into
the person I want to
become. Jim Lambos
is one person who
helped me in many
different ways, in a
short period of time.
Jim came to the ofce
about eight months
ago, looking for a job
after many years in the
Air Force. His traits
and qualities were
clear and obvious; you dont nd many
people like that, just walking in off the
street for an interview.
Jims military background denitely inuenced my decision to hire
him, and what a good decision that was.
He was a complete team player; always
asking for more work and never complaining about a thing. For those of you
who talked to Jim on the Technical Help
line, you know how he always went out
of his way to x your problems.
I can tell you two things about Jims

character that sums it up for me. One,
he was a Chicago Bears fan, and two,
he was a Cubs fan. And if you support
those two teams, you have to be special
as well as brave! If I could, I would
thank Jim for the time he spent with us,
for his loyalty and sense of team play,
and for being the person he was. I know
I speak for the entire ATRA family,
of which he will always be a part, the
Tech Department, and for me as well
we will miss you. Rest in peace, my
friend.

No 4th, No TCC
A No command for 4th gear or TCC, no detent downshifts above 30 mph. The cause
of this may be a Knock Sensor
A Knock Sensor DTC may be present (P0330). Whenever a knock sensor DTC is
set 4th gear and TCC are inhibited and engine management goes into reduced
power strategy and detent downshift timing is affected. It is common for the
knock sensors themselves to fail.
To repair the concern replace the knock sensor.
Notes: If knock sensor DTC is cleared normal shifting and

operation will be restored until PCM performs knock sensor test
routine and DTC is set again. There are two PIDs in scan data:
OD CUT1 and OD CUT2. OD CUT1 responds to OD cancel switch
(switches from YES to NO). OD CUT2 indicates PCM OD inhibit
strategy.

Dexron VI
New Fluid Introduced
Beginning in April 2005 a new fluid was introduced into the GM line. Designed for
the new 6 speed automatic transmissions, Dexron VI has become the factory fill for
GM applications. Dexron VI is designed to replace Dexron III as the service fill for
GM applications. Dexron VI was developed by GM in conjunction with Petro
Canada and Afton chemical company. Dexron VI is a significant advancement
when compared to its counterpart Dexron III.
The following chart represents the improvement over Dexron III.

33
Dexron VI
New Fluid Introduced
In addition Dexron VI also offers the following advantages over Dexron III:
Reduces TCC shudder in PWM applications
Improved low temperature operation
Lower viscosity
More consistent viscosity profile
99.9 % pure base stock profile
The following are the standards Dexron VI is designed to meet and maintain in
production:
Dexron VI is required for clutch to clutch shift transmissions like the 6 speed
applications released for the 2006 model year. Dexron VI is designed to back
service all Dexron applications but it is not currently certified to meet the Mercon
standard.

Whine Noise in 4th
A gear noise which is amplified by the drive axle may sound like a whine type
noise while in 4th gear under light throttle, light load. This condition is most
pronounced when the transaxle is warm.
To repair the concern install a new transfer driven gear, output gear and
differential assembly.

APP Signals and DTC A pplications
Technicians that use a snap shot feature on their meter or use an oscilloscope to
aid in diagnosis may misdiagnose the cause of APP DTCs. Your scan tool may
register DTCs P0122, P0123, P0220, P0222, P1120, P1220, P1221, P1271, P1275,
P1280, P1512, P1514, P1515, P1523, P2101, P2120, P2122 or P2123 on GM T,
Z, L trucks and GM A and Z car applications. This may lead the technician
to replace components that are not faulty.
NOTE: The body styles are as follows:
T= Trailblazer, Envoy, Colorado, Canyon, H3, Bravada

Z= Vue
L= Equinox
A= Cobalt, Pursuit
Z= Malibu, G6, Ion
These applications utilize a special software algorithm that is used to locate faults
in the APP and TP systems. When monitoring some APP or TP sensors the technician may notice that the voltage drops on the circuit. This condition only lasts for
about 6.5ms. This test is performed to determine if there is a short in the sensors
or the wiring is present. By monitoring the signal for the other sensors at the
time the sensor signal is shorted to ground, the PCM can determine if a short to
any of the other circuit are present. If APP, TP DTCs are not set, no repairs
should be attempted. If a TP or APP DTC is set, refer to the service information to
assist with diagnosis for the DTCs that are set.

No 4th gear
Chevrolet A veo, Pontiac Wave
Chevrolet Aveo or a Pontiac Wave equipped with an Aisin Warner 81-40LE (RPO
MV6) automatic transmissions may exhibit a no shift into 4th gear at times. The
customer may indicate that this is an intermittent condition and generally happens after a cold start.
The 81-40 LE is programmed to inhibit 4th gear anytime transmission temperature is below 59F (15C). This feature is designed to lower emissions and enhance heater operation during engine warm up. This should be considered a
normal condition.

5L40/50E
Downshift Related Concerns
Intermittent or Unwanted downshifts while operating the vehicle in a coast condition set, may be caused by a weak internal brake booster vacuum spring that
prevents the brake booster pedal position sensor from returning to the released
position. The pedal position sensor can be monitored using ABS data. The EBCM
signals the PCM which then signals the TCM regarding the brake pedal sensor
position via the scan data, causing the condition to occur. To repair replace the
brake booster. This condition will not set a DTC.

3.6L (LY7) or 2.8L (LP1)
Shared 5-Volt Reference Circuit
Several GM vehicles equipped with a 3.6L (LY7) or 2.8L (LP1) engine share the PCM
5 volt reference circuit among several different sensors. Some vehicle families
include the Cadillac CTS/SRX/STS as well as the Buick Lacrosse and Rendezvous
to name a few.
The PCM/ECM is not equipped with a DTC for a 5 volt reference problem on the
engine families listed above. Therefore, the computer will not set an individual DTC
related to the 5 volt reference circuit if a short to ground or an open occur in the
circuit. It is likely a low voltage DTC for one of the shared circuits will set a DTC
but the problem may not necessarly be located in that circuit or component. As an
example, it is likely a P0102 MAF DTC could set even though there is no problem
with the sensor or its circuit. The P0102 may set simply because it was the 1st
diagnostic to run.
As an example lets look at a Cadiallic STS, 3.6L
The shared 5 volt reference A circuit includes the following circuits:
MAF sensor
IAT sensor
BARO sensor
Engine oil pressure sensor, EOP

No Upshift
1996-2003
The transmission will not upshift when the shift lever is placed in OD range. If the
selector is placed in another gear range the transmission may shift but it may not
have all of the shifts desired. As an example, if the shifter is placed in M3 the
transmission may only shift as high as 2nd gear.
Like other GM transmission applications, the pressure switch assembly is a major
input to the PCM regarding shift patterns. If circuit 1226 pin C becomes shorted to
ground the voltage on the circuit will remain low all the time. This will be interpreted by the PCM as M1 range even though the range selector is in OD range.
When placed in M3 range the PCM will interpret the range as M2. This type of
failure will not set a DTC as the sequence is considered a valid PSA sequence.
When monitoring the values with a scan tool you will note that the value remains
low for all ranges selected. By comparing to the chart below, you will see the voltage should be high when M3 or OD ranges are selected. If you encounter the condition disconnect the transmission electrical connector while monitoring the PSA
scan values. If circuit C goes to a HI status, the short to ground is located within
the transmission internal harness or the PSA. If circuit 1226 pin C stays LOW,
the short to ground is located between the transmission electrical connector and
the PCM. Repair as necessary.

A Car Transaxle Characteristics
The A body style was introduced in 2005 as the Chevrolet Cobalt, Saturn Ion
and Pontiac Pursuit. These applications are equipped with a 4T40E transaxle.
The programming for this transmission varies slightly from some of the 4T40E
applications. The transaxle is programmed to perform as follows:
The low traction light will illuminate (if the car is equipped with ABS)
anytime the transaxle is placed in M1 position
The transaxle will upshift out of M2 into third at speeds above 40 MPH
The transaxle will upshift out of M1

A Car DTC P2138 Set
Some Chevrolet Cobalt, Pontiac Pursuit applications may experience any or all of
the following concerns:
APP DTC P2138 set
Possible DTCs P0532 (A/C), P1681 (TP/ECM) may be set
Low power message
Poor drivability
Limp home mode
Transmission shift timing complaints
A/C compressor may be inoperative
P2138 will set if:
DTCs P0641, P0651, P2120, P2125 are not set
APP is above idle position
A voltage correlation condition exists between APP 1 and APP 2 for longer
than 2 seconds
P0532 will set if:
ECM detects A/C pressure less than 34 Kpa (4.93 psi) (less than .25 volts)
P1681 will set if:
A control module throttle position performance issue exists
If the A/C compressor is inoperative the problem is not likely to be repaired by
replacing the APP sensor pedal assembly. If the compressor is inoperative the
cause is generally the A/C high pressure switch. The ECM shares the 5 volt reference circuit with the APP and A/C system. Therefore a short to ground in the A/C
pressure switch or its circuit will also pull the APP 5 volt reference circuit low.
Inspect the A/C pressure switch circuit and if no problem is found replace the A/C
pressure switch. If an A/C problem does not exist, follow the DTC chart for the
P2138 code.

APP Sensor DTCs
Some Z car applications (Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac G6) may exhibit various electrical related concerns including any or all of the following APP DTCs P2119,
P2120, P2125, P2135, P2138 as well as possible codes related to the ETC or SVS
system. In addition the SES light may be illuminated. Other electrical concerns
such as head lamp, data bus, windshield wiper and radio problems may occur if
the condition has been present for a long period of time, but generally the APP
DTC s will be the first to set.
Inspect connector C206 located on the left side of the instrument panel, A pillar
area for corrosion or contamination. Inspect the top of the A pillar area for signs
of water intrusion at the ditch molding or sunroof drain areas. If moisture has
penetrated the connector, the terminal pins will need to be removed and cleaned or

may be operating in the reduced power mode which can lead to transmission shift
timing complaints. On some applications the DIC (Driver Information Center) may
display TCS and/or VSES messages to the driver.
P2138 will set if:
DTCs P2107 or P2108 are not set
The PCM determines the difference between APP 1 and APP 2 values are too
great. (Greater than .269 volts)

Several items can cause a P0741 DTC to set. In the above scenario either a P0741
or P2761 may be set. If only P0741 is set proceed with the information listed
below, if that is not successful refer to the information in the previous 2002 and
2004 ATRA seminar manuals. If a P2761 is set refer to the information described
below.

The PCM commands the TCC PWM duty cycle to 10% or less and the
feedback voltage remains low
The above conditions are present for longer than 5 seconds
48
GENERAL MOTORS
4T65E
Concerns (continued)
If the vehicle sets just a P2761 inspect the transmission harness for signs of damage. P2761 is typically set due to an open or short to ground in the TCC PWM
circuit or solenoid. One area that has been common for this type of concern is an
open in circuit 418 (Brown wire). If you remove the internal wiring harness, TPA
(Terminal Position Assureance) clip and tug on circuit 418 you will generally see
the terminal is loose and may it even come out of the connector.
On applications that are setting a P0741 it is highly unlikely that an electrical
condition will cause the DTC to set, but it is possible if a high resistance condition
is present. If you are unable to address the concern by inspecting the items high
lighted in previous ATRA seminar manuals inspect circuit 418 for the condition
described above.
If circuit 418 is found to be defective replace the terminal or the harness. Harness part number 24229643 is available from GM.

Some W car (Monte Carlo, Impala, Grand Prix) applications may exhibit a condition
that causes the speedometer to fluctuate or drop out intermittently. In addition,
the transmission may intermittently change gears in response to the change in
VSS value. VSS related DTCs may or may not be set
The VSS connector/wiring may come into contact with the power steering hose.
As the engine moves in its mounts the connector may develop an open circuit,
resulting in the above condition.
Reposition the power steering hose so it can no longer come into contact with the
vehicle speed sensor connector/wiring. Check the condition of the connector, pin
tension, wiring and repair as necessary.

Intermittent Hard Garage Shift
Owners of 1999-2005 GM vehicles equipped with the 4T65E may complain
regarding an aggressive garage shift engagement, especially when the engine is
cold.
Starting with the 1999 model year the software was changed to increase idle
speed for the engine to 1100-1300 rpm for the first 30 seconds of engine run time.
After the engine run timer has expired the engine speed will drop to approximately
650 RPM and the garage shift engagement will be much smoother. The update was
done to reduce emissions during cold start conditions. This should be considered a
normal condition and corrective action should not be attempted.

Remove the 2-3 shift valve and inspect the bore and valve for signs of wear. In
most instances the bore starts to score which leads to the shift valve related
concerns. To repair the condition, the Lower valve body will require replacement.
At this time no one is making service tools to address this issue. Prior to
replacement, contact the various companies to be sure service kits are not
available to address this concern.

4wd Service Lamp On, DTC C0327
Set
One of the most common problems with the NP126/NP136/NP 236/NP 246/
NP263 transfer case applications is a loss of 4wd and T- case operation. In
addition to an inoperative 4wd system the service 4wd lamp may be illuminated.
The customer may also comment that the LEDs located in the selector switches
are blinking and they may hear a grinding noise coming from the front axle area.
Any combination of DTCs may/may not be set such as P0452, P0453, P0461,
P0462, P0464, P0836, P0500, P1875, U1088, B0790, CO186, C0196, C0300,
C0305, C0306, C0321, C0327, C0359, C0374, C0379, C0455, or C0550 which
can be stored in various modules such as the PCM, TCM, TCCM or BCM. Typically
the DTC that is most common is a C0327 and it can be accessed by
communication with the TCCM via a scan tool.
A C0327 will be set if:

The TCCM expects to see a valid voltage sequence from the Transfer case encoder
motor sensor based on the input it receives from the range selector buttons. The
DTC will set if the value falls outside of the value it expects to see.
If a C0327 sets the TCCM will:
Lock the T case in the position it was in at the time the problem occurred as
the TCCM will no longer command shifts to occur. This condition may lead
to a lack of 4wd operation.
Illuminate the Service 4WD lamp for the remainder of the key cycle

Flare On the 2-3 Shift
4L65E/60E applications may exhibit a 2-3 shift flare. This condition may be
present prior to you working on the vehicle or it may develop after you have
replaced hard parts during a rebuild. Some of the items that can cause a flare will
also lead to 3rd clutch damage while others will not cause clutch damage. Some of
the items listed will also lead to 2-4 band failure as well as 3-4 clutch distress.
Several items may cause this concern including:
Leaking clutch piston seals
Leaking input shaft seal rings
Incorrect clutch clearance
Debris in orifice #7
The sleeve in the pump stator support may have rotated slightly
Leak in the 2-4 band release circuit
Incorrectly assembled 3-4 clutch assembly
Orifice cup plug missing/damage in input housing or the servo bore

Cracks in the input shaft seal ring area
Damaged/faulty/leaking 3rd accumulator check valve
Leaking check ball located in the end of the input housing
Incorrect pump or pump parts
Damaged/warped case or valve body
Incorrect spacer plate or gaskets
Sticking 2-3 shift valve or damaged/cracked 2-3 shift solenoid
3-4 clutch feed hole in the input housing may be incorrectly machined.
The chamfer for the hole may be too large which exposes it to the area
where the seal groove is machined in the housing. This will cause the
clutch to leak. This is fairly common on some of the later model applications
and you should inspect for this condition as part of your rebuild or prior to
installing a new input housing.

Checking the Fluid Level
The 6L80 transmission utilizes a very unique process for checking the fluid levels.
Most 6L80 applications do not utilize a dipstick. Instead a plug has been placed
into the dipstick hole. The plug can be removed and the hole can be used as a fill
point for transmission fluid. To check the fluid level the following procedure
should be followed:
The transmission temperature must be between 86-122 F (30-50C) a scan
tool, the driver information center or the transmission gauge can be used to
verify the temperature
Start the engine and let it idle, Shift the transmission in and out of range
pausing in each range for approximately 3 seconds
Place the transmission in park range
With the vehicle level, remove the level control plug located in the
transmission oil pan.
If fluid does not drip from the level control hole, add Dexron VI fluid until
fluid starts to drip from the hole. If fluid runs from the hole wait until the
fluid stops running from the hole. The level is correct when fluid drips
slightly from the hole. If a steady stream is present or no flow is present the
fluid level is incorrect. Install the fill plug and the level control plug.
NOTE: Fluid may be added through the dipstick hole or through the level control
hole.

Solenoid and Valve Body Diagnosis
Solenoid and valve body diagnosis requires the following tools:
A quality scan tool capable of communicating and commanding the TCM and
its solenoids.
Tool number J 47825-1 Solenoid test plate and jumper harness
Remove the Control Solenoid Valve Assembly from the transmission. Install tool
J47821-1 onto the Control Solenoid Valve Assembly (5Nm 44 Lb In). Apply
regulated shop air (90-100 psi) to the tool. Connect the scan tool to the Control
Solenoid Valve Assembly.
Command the solenoid ON/OFF air pressure should be present on the gauge
and then it should exhaust as the solenoid is cycled. If the solenoid or valve
are malfunctioning the gauge pressure will not change as you cycle the
solenoid. If a malfunction is determined to be present, replace the complete
Control Solenoid Valve Assembly.
If the solenoid checked OK, install the gauge on another solenoid port and
command that solenoid ON/OFF with the scan to repeat the process.

Adaptive Learning
Adaptive Learning
The 6L80 is fully equipped with several adaptive learning strategies. As with some
other GM applications you will need to erase the adaptive values and perform a
Fast Learn prior to operating the vehicle. Adapts and fast learn procedures
should be perform if any of the following occur:
Internal Transmission repairs have been performed
The valve body was replaced
The Control Solenoid valve assembly was replaced
The TCM was recalibrated
Internal repairs were performed that could effect shift quality
NOTE: Fast learn is not required if a GM New or Rebuilt 6L80 is used. The
transmission is fast learn prior to it being shipped from the plant
To perform a fast learn:
Use a scan tool capable of performing the fast learn procedure
TFT 158-230F (70-110C)
Select Fast learn process from the scan tool menu
Place the transmission in Drive with the vehicle stationary. The TCM will
individually apply the clutches and calculate the clutch volume
Place the transmission in Reverse with the vehicle stationary. The TCM will
individually apply the clutches and calculate the clutch volume
Shut off the engine, power off the scanner
The process is now complete
The fast learn procedure will not run if:
DTCs are set
TFT is not between 158-230 F (70-110C)
The brake switch is not working
TP is 0% but engine RPM increases during the test
P/N switch is improperly adjusted or is not functioning correctly

Misfire, Surge, Chuggle
6.6L Duramax
Duramax Diesel applications may develop a misfire, surge or chuggle related concern that is difficult to diagnose and repair using current techniques and procedures. The complaint is sometimes misdiagnosed as being transmission related.
6.6L Duramax applications have experienced problems with coolant getting into
the ECM and/or the ECM connector. The coolant wicks up the surge tank coolant
level sensor and into the wiring. If other attempts to repair the concern have been
unsuccessful, remove the ECM connector and inspect the connector and the ECM
pins for evidence of corrosion or Dexcool contamination. If contamination is found
the ECM may need to be replaced if there is evidence of any corrosion or damage. If
only light residue is found you can generally clean the connector and ECM pins
with electric circuit board cleaner. If coolant contamination is found, the wire and
the coolant switch must be replaced. Make sure to replace the wire and the terminals.

(RPO M74) PTO A pplications
If the PTO option was not ordered when the vehicle was new, you may need to add
additional hard parts to the transmission to allow for PTO operation on some
applications. On those applications the transmissions may not be equipped with a
rotating housing that has the PTO gear installed. Instead they may have a tone
ring for the turbine sensor mounted to the housing. Use the chart below to identify your application:
If a customer wants to install a PTO on an application that is not equipped with a

(RPO MW7) Updates (continued)
Tap Shifts (Range Selection Mode)
Like several other GM applications, the MW7 features tap shifts are standard
equipment. Unlike other applications the tap shift function is controlled by a
thumb activated switch mounted on the gear shift lever. The range selection
feature will hold the vehicle in the gear selected unless the driver commands a
gear change or the TCM determines that engine damage may occur and
commands a shift to occur. To activate the tap shift feature the shift selector lever
must be in the M position.
Tow/Haul/Grade Braking
As with other GM applications, the tow haul feature is activated by a button
located in the end of the shift lever. Tow/Haul should be selected anytime the
vehicle load exceeds 75% of the GCWR for the application. Tow/Haul mode
changes the shift points of the transmission to reduce shift cycling and improve
vehicle performance. Tow/Haul mode also changes the TCC apply, which enables
TCC in 2nd and 3rd gears as well as commands TCC to stay applied during
deceleration. This prevents heat build up due to oil shear within the converter.
In addition spark timing is retarded more during the shifts to lower the impact of
the shift. The Grade braking feature or the cruise grade braking feature can only
be activated if the tow haul feature is active and the shift lever is not in the M
position. Grade braking can command downshifts to ranges as low as 2nd gear.
Heater Performance Mode

In the diesel applications the heater performance mode is designed to shorten the
length of time it takes for the engine/transmission to reach operating
temperature. This algorithm improves heater performance by decreasing the
warm up time. The PCM/TCM monitors ambient temperatures and when the
vehicle is being operated in cold weather the TCM will raise the 2-3,3-4,4-5 and 56 shift points to increase engine speed resulting in quicker warm up.
Low Traction Mode

Diesel power applications are equipped with a Low Traction Algorithm to improve
traction during slippery conditions. By selecting a manual range while at a stop
the TCM will command the transmission to start and stay in 2nd gear
92
GENERAL MOTORS
LCT 1000 6 Speed

Shift Stabilization
Like other GM applications, the shift stabilization algorithm monitors VSS and
load inputs to minimize upshift/downshift cycling. If the current speed cannot be
maintained in a higher range, the TCM will command the transmission to hold
the gear and the PCM will lower the engine torque output.
Cold Operation
When operating in cold temperatures the TCM will prevent specific operations to
prevent damage to the transmission. When the cold mode is active the DIC will
display the message Trans in Warm Up. The modes of operation are as follows:
-13f or above transmission temp, transmission operates normally
-13 to -31f transmission temp, 2nd and 3rd gears available only
-31f or below transmission temp, 2nd gear available only
On diesel powered applications TCC will be inhibited based on both transmission
and ambient air temperatures. The modes of operation are as follows:
IAT below 32f, TCC will not apply until Transmission temperature is above
88F
IAT 32-50f, TCC will not apply until Transmission temperature is between
50-80f
IAT above 50f, TCC operates normally
Gas Applications:
Transmission temperature below 68f, TCC inhibited

Shift Scheduling, Slipping, Bangs on
Downshifts
2004 2005 E-450 series and especially the commercial chassis applications like
ambulances. The concern begins with intermittent transmission issues like shift
scheduling, slipping, bangs on downshifts, etc. As the concern progresses, it flags
a DTC P0960 / PCA Open Circuit and illuminates the MIL. The root cause of the
concern can be traced to the main connector (C-195) laying across the top of the
trans.
If you remove the engine cover (doghouse) which is no easy task, pull apart the
connector and look for overheated or burned wires. If this is what you find, look at
the inside of the engine cover. Youll see where the connector has been rubbing.
Depending on the connector and wiring damage, repair as necessary taking steps
to ensure that the connector doesnt rub again. Reset the KAM (Keep alive
Memory), perform the Adaptive Learning procedure and test drive.

Introduction
The Torqshift transmission is a 6 speed fully computer-controlled transmission.
Externally it looks like its cousin the E4OD and internally the stack up is much
the same, however there are no parts that interchange between the two units. also
the TR sensor is internal and the solenoid connector is up front rather then in the
rear. There have been several changes made to the planetary gear sets for increased durability in the 2005 version. The PCM has gone through several updates
to the programming and it is highly recommended that the computer be reprogrammed with every transmission rebuild.

TR-P Sensor Introduction
The Transmission Range (TR-P) sensor assembly is an internally mounted sensor
that includes the detent spring, rooster comb and bracket, located next to the
solenoid body. The components of the TR-P sensor are factory adjusted and the
sensor must be installed as a calibrated assembly. The TR-P sensor contains
electronic circuitry that provides the PCM a fixed frequency at a duty cycle for
each of the various positions of the manual lever (PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL,
DRIVE, M3, M2 and M1) to the PCM. The PCM uses the TR-P sensor signal for
engine functions (start, reverse lamps) and for line pressure control, shift
scheduling and TCC operation.
114
FORD
Torqshift
TR-P Sensor Diagnosis
There are only two reasons youd be diagnosing the TR-P sensor:
1. Codes
2. No Start
Codes are caused by the TR-P Frequency being out of range or circuit duty cycle
being too low or too high, which can also cause a no start condition, or during the
KOEO test the shifter was not in the Park or Neutral position.
Using your scan tool enter the Diagnostic mode function. Enter TR_DC and
TR_FREQ. Once this is entered you will be able to see the following information:

2005 Super Duty F-Series vehicles equipped with a 6.0L diesel engine, TorqShift
transmission and power take off (PTO) option, built before September 22, 2004,
will exhibit insufficient transmission line pressure supplied during PTO operation.
Symptoms include lack of torque converter lock up and transmission line pressure
below 150 psi while in stationary PTO mode. PTO operation under this condition
may result in PTO unit damage, and subsequent TorqShift transmission damage

Operation and Diagnosis
Ford Super Duty F-Series Truck Powertrains are designed principally to provide
vehicle motivation and short term auxiliary power needs. Power activation of hydraulic or mechanically driven devices such as wrecker lift, snowplow blade lift
and movement, power tailgate lift, or dump body lift, are a few examples. The
variety of available air circulation, temperature environment, vehicle maintenance
level, and other conditions existing with the range of auxiliary horsepower and
torque demands that may be placed upon a vehicle in PTO usage, make it difficult
to assess the ultimate performance of a vehicle subjected to extended duration
usage as an auxiliary power source. The guidelines in this book are intended to
assist the PTO equipment installer in avoiding inadvertent vehicle performance
and safety concerns. These guidelines should not be considered all inclusive, and
it is the responsibility of the PTO equipment installer, to choose and install a PTO
system that the vehicle operators will be able to use in a safe manner with the
necessary precautions to ensure safe operation and customer satisfaction.
WARNING:
Do not subject the Excursion to any auxiliary power take-off
application as this could overheat the fuel tank and increase the
risk of personal injury.

General Guidelines / Warnings
1. Additional transmission lubricant may be required with addition of the PTO.
2. Follow severe-duty vehicle maintenance schedules, including transmission fluid
changes.
3. Route PTO hydraulic lines away from the vehicle exhaust system.
4. Diesel engines are recommended for stationary PTO operation of extended duration.
5. Do not block air flow circulation to the engine coolant radiator, engine and
transmission.
6. Monitoring the following powertrain fluid temperatures to avoid excessive heat
build up.
NOTE - If any of the above temperatures are exceeded, disengage

the PTO operation and return vehicle engine speed to normal
idle. Allow the temperature to stabilize at a lower level before reengaging the PTO.
7. The M60D manual transmission case will require a slight modification to package PTO pumps that are mounted directly to the PTO and facing rearward.

4R100 Transmission
The 4R100 with a PTO port must be ordered as a separate option. Option Code
62R is available for SD FSeries only. It includes a PTO drive gear and in the case
of gas engines, has a unique electronic engine control module (EEC) that the nonPTO 4R100 does not have. The PTO port is a non-standard, 6-bolt hole pattern,
threaded for M10 metric fasteners, and comes with a reusable controlled compression gasket to control gear mesh installation. The PTO drive gear is functional in
all gear ranges: D1, D2, Drive, Reverse, Park, Neutral (except Overdrive). This
accommodates both stationary and mobile PTO operation. However, the PTO drive
gear is NOT functional in any drive gear when vehicle speed is zero. The OverdriveCancel light is designed to illuminate when operating in PTO mode.
1. The PTO drive gear is rated at 170 lb-ft torque peak, 120 lb-ft torque continuous use.
2. Automatic transmission PTO applications intended for stationary operation
must comply with the following engine rpm limitations: Reference PTO
manufacturers owners manual for recommended PTO pump operating speeds.
(1) High idle throttle control required. (Electronic Throttle Kicker) and not provided
by Ford. (2) Automatically controlled by the PCM.

3. The 4R100 line pressure tap thread is 1/8-27 Dryseal N.P.S.F. normal line
pressure is approximately 50 to 60 psi at normal engine idle; and approximately
180 psi at 1200 rpm with torque converter clutch applied and PTO circuit activated.
4. If the vehicle battery has been disconnected, the powertrain control strategy
may forget PTP logic and may not respond to commands for elevated idle. To
remedy this, a sensor in the transmission needs to count the teeth on the PTO
gear.

5. Simply drive the vehicle a short distance. Typically, less than a mile will be
sufficient to prepare the strategy to respond properly. Driving the automatic transmission in 1st gear may also speed up this memory. Do not rush to drive, but also
avoid excessive delay. Once the ignition goes through the ON, CRANK and START
cycle the strategy cycle that looks for PTO only lasts a relatively short
time. Repeat the cycle if the first drive attempt is ineffective.
6. A temperature monitor internal to the 4R100 is designed to disengage the PTO
drive gear clutch in an over-temperature condition. High torque demand at low
vehicle speed can trigger this safeguard. Spreading fertilizer in farming or
snowplowing are typical examples. If this occurs, disengage the PTO operation and
rest the vehicle in Park or Neutral at normal engine idle to cool the
powertrain.
7. New for 2002 model year Super Duty F-Series, and placed in the instrument
cluster, is a Transmission Fluid Temperature Gauge for automatic transmission
only. A complete description is located in the Owner Guide.
Here in brief explains what the needle readings mean.
Cold Range: 50 F or colder.
White Area [Normal]: Normal operating range,
51 to 248 F.
Yellow Area [Warning]: Stop driving the vehicle or remove auxiliary loads at the
earliest convenience. Typically, leave the engine running at normal idle will aid
cooldown. Allow to cool into the normal range before starting to drive again or
operate the PTO. The transmission fluid is not overheating, but operating in the
Yellow Range for extended periods of time may cause internal transmission damage.
Red Area [Over-Temperature]: The transmission fluid is over-heating. Stop the
vehicle, do not drive, and allow to cool into normal range.

Introduction
This transaxle is a compact, lightweight, next generation electronically controlled,
6-speed automatic transaxle that employs a Ravigeneaux-type planetary gear.
This transaxle contains a high precision clutch hydraulic control system for a
smooth, highly responsive gear shift feel.
All hydraulic functions are directed by electronic solenoids to control:
1. Engagement feel.
2. Shift feel.
3. Shift scheduling.
4. Modulated torque converter clutch (TCC) applications.
5. Engine braking utilizing the coast clutch.

A pply Components
C-1 Clutch
The C1 clutch connects the front planetary carrier to the rear sun gear of the rear
planetary set. The C1 clutch is applied in 1st (typical operation during engine
braking), 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears.
C-2 Clutch
The C2 clutch connects the intermediate shaft to the rear planetary carrier. The
C2 clutch is applied in 4th, 5th and 6th gears.
C-3 Clutch
The C3 clutch connects the front planetary carrier to the middle sun gear of the
rear planetary set. The C3 clutch is applied in 3rd and 5th gears, and also in
reverse when the vehicle speed is 7 km/h (4 mph) or less.
B-1 Brake
The B1 brake locks the middle sun gear of the rear planetary gear set. The B1
brake is applied in 2nd and 6th gears.
B-2 Brake
The B2 brake locks the rear planetary carrier in reverse gear when the vehicle
speed is 7 km/h (4 mph) or less.
F-1 One-Way Clutch
The F1 one way clutch locks the counterclockwise rotation of the rear planetary
carrier during 1st gear operation (during both normal operation and engine braking).
Hydraulic Systems
Valve Body
The valve body supplies fluid by switching the fluid circuit for the hydraulic pressure that is generated by the fluid pump. Based on the hydraulic pressure generated by the fluid pump the TCM sends control signals to the solenoid valves in
accordance with vehicle conditions. Upon activation of the solenoid valve, the
control hydraulic pressure to the clutch and brakes is determined (according to
the equilibrium with the obtained hydraulic pressure) and gear shift and lockup
are accomplished. In addition, an appropriate amount of fluid is supplied to the
torque converter, planetary gears and lubricating parts.

Operational Strategies
Automatic Gearshift Control
In automatic gearshift control, based on each gearshift pattern, SSA and SSB turn
ON or OFF and SSC, SSD, SSE and SSF are operated linearly according to information that includes vehicle speed, the degree to which the accelerator is open
and brake signal.
Driver Adaptive Shift Control
This automatic transaxle does not have a driving mode selection switch that allows drivers to select a mode themselves. The vehicle is ordinarily in adaptive
mode. However, when specific conditions are met, the transmission control unit
(TCU) selects a shifting pattern appropriate to driving conditions from all of the
shifting patterns and switches automatically.
Green Mode 1 Switched from mode 2 to warm up the transmission fluid.
This mode acts to protect the transaxle before the adaptive mode.
Green Mode 2 After engine start-up, warm-up speed is increased for a certain period when transmission fluid temperature is low and the vehicle speed is 0.
High Temp When fluid temperature becomes too high, this mode activates
lock-up at an earlier timing to stop the temperature rise and lower the temperature.
Down Slope When driving down a slope, the transmission control module
(TCM) detects a down slope based on the engine control unit signal and output
rpm. TCM switches to down slope mode to alleviate the load to the brake by down
shifting.
FORD
145
AF21-B
Operational Strategies (continued)
Gear Shift Control
When the shift lever is moved from N to D or from N to R, after the engine is
started, a shift control solenoid assembly (SSC, SSD, SSE) is used for the fluid
pressure required by C1 clutch or C3 clutch and appropriately regulated fluid
pressure is supplied to the clutch, engaging smoothly without shock.
Reverse Converter Control
If the shift lever is moved from N to R while the vehicle is moving forward and the
transaxle shifts into REVERSE, the wheels will be locked, which is extremely
dangerous. In order to avoid this, the TCM inhibits the transaxle from shifting into
REVERSE while moving forward.
Torque Converter Control
Based on output rpm signals, signals from the engine control unit (engine rpm
and throttle opening) and vehicle speed, a smooth engagement is carried out
through linear control of the torque converter clutch (TCC) solenoid. Also, the slip
rate is detected by adding input rpm signals and slip control is carried out.
Engagement Control
Control is carried out using a TCC solenoid. The TCC solenoid is linearly turned
ON and OFF. The clutch inside the torque converter is operated and the pump
impeller and turbine runner are connected. Through this the engine and the
transaxle are coupled and engine output is connected directly to the transaxle,
eliminating transaxle loss and enhancing fuel economy
Slip Control
Control is carried out using a TCC solenoid. The TCC solenoid is linearly turned
ON and OFF and the clutch within the torque converter is operated outside of the
engagement range. The clutch slides without being in a completely coupled condition, increasing transaxle efficiency and enhancing fuel economy.

FORD
AF21-B
Electronic System Description
The transmission control module (TCM) and its input/output network controls the
following operations:
1. Shift timing
2. Line pressure (shift feel)
3. Torque converter clutch (TCC)
The transaxle control is separate from the engine control strategy in the
powertrain control module (PCM), although some of the input signals are shared
between the TCM and PCM. When determining the best operating strategy for
transaxle operation, the TCM uses input information from certain engine-related
and driver-demand related sensors and switches supplied by the PCM.
In addition, the TCM receives input signals from certain transaxle-related sensors
and switches. The TCM also uses these signals when determining transaxle operating strategy.
Using all of these input signals, the TCM can determine when the time and conditions are right for a shift, or when to apply or release the torque converter clutch.
It will also determine the best line pressure needed to optimize shift feel. To accomplish this the TCM uses output solenoids to control transaxle operation.
The following provides a brief description of each of the sensors and actuators
used to control transaxle operation.
Transmission Control Module (TCM) Control Function
In automatic gear shift control, based on each gear shift pattern, SAA and SBB
turn ON or OFF and SSC, SSD, SSE and SSF are operated linearly according to
information that includes vehicle speed, the degree to which the accelerator is
open and brake signals. For the gear and solenoid operation chart, refer to the
general specification tables in this section.
The transmission range (TR) sensor is built in the transmission control module
(TCM), it detects the automatic transmission range information via the Hall-effect
sensor and outputs the information to the TCM. The TCM reads the voltage and
adjusts the automatic transmission range.
Brake Pedal Position (BPP) Switch
The brake pedal position (BPP) switch tells the powertrain control module when
the brakes are applied. The torque converter clutch disengages when the brakes
are applied and the BPP switch closes when the brakes are applied and opens
when they are released
FORD

TFT
The transmission fluid temperature sensor, which is integrated within the transmission wiring, is installed on the front of the valve body. It directs the fluid temperature within the hydraulic pressure control circuit and transmits a signal
based on that temperature to the TCM. Through this it controls gear shift, lockup
and slip in response to changes in fluid temperature for smooth shifting across
wide fluid temperature zones.

The transaxle 3-way solenoid assembly (SSA) is installed on the middle valve body.
The transmission 3-way solenoid assembly (SSB) is installed on the front valve
body. The solenoids turn ON and OFF in response to signals output from the TCM.
According to the ON or OFF status of SSA or SSB, the 1st gear engine brake operates or the gear shifts into REVERSE. As a fail-safe function, if any transmission
3-way solenoid assembly abnormality occurs, the TCM will disable the current to
the solenoids.

clutch (C1, C2, C3) and brakes (B1) for smooth shifting. According to the combination of ON or OFF status of the shift control solenoid assembly, the transmission
shifts from 1st gear into 6th gear and vice versa. As a fail-safe function, if any

Presure Control Solenoid
The pressure control solenoid (PCA) is installed on the front valve body. Based on
a signal indicating the degree to which the throttle is opened, engine torque, and
according to a duty ratio predetermined in the TCM, the solenoids control line
hydraulic pressure by linearly changing the comparable throttle hydraulic pressure. Through this, it controls operating hydraulic pressure to the clutch and
brakes for smooth shifting. As a fail-safe function, if any shift control solenoid
assembly abnormality occurs, the TCM will disable the current to the shift control
solenoids. The line pressure is maximized, if the shift control solenoid assembly
current is disabled when any abnormality other than locking occurs.

The TCC control solenoid is installed on the front valve body. Based on engine
rpm, throttle opening degree signals and speed sensor signals, it linearly controls
clutch hydraulic pressure. Through this, engagement and slip are controlled. As a

Adaptive Learning
Adaptive Shift Control
The TCM has an adaptive learning strategy to electronically control the transaxle
which will automatically adjust the shift feel. The first few hundred miles of operation of the transaxle may have abrupt shifting. This is a normal operation. If the
battery has been disconnected for any reason it will need to be kept disconnected
for approximately 20 minutes to reset the adaptive shift pressure strategy or use
the diagnostic tool to carry out the keep alive memory (KAM) reset.
Driver Adaptive Shift Control
This automatic transaxle does not have a driving mode selection switch that allows drivers to select a mode themselves. The vehicle is ordinarily in adaptive
mode. However, when specific conditions are met, the transmission control unit
(TCU) selects a shifting pattern appropriate to driving conditions from all of the
shifting patterns and switches automatically.
GREEN Mode 1 Switched from mode 2 to warm up the transmission fluid.
This mode acts to protect the transaxle before the adaptive mode.
GREEN Mode 2 After engine start-up, warm-up speed is increased for a
certain period when transmission fluid temperature is low and the vehicle speed is
0.
HIGH TEMP When fluid temperature becomes too high, this mode activates
lock-up at an earlier timing to stop the temperature rise and lower the temperature.
DOWN SLOPE When driving down a slope, the transmission control module
(TCM) detects a down slope based on the engine control unit signal and output
rpm. TCM switches to down slope mode to alleviate the load to the brake by down
shifting.

Electronically controlled transmissions and their functions can be broken down
into three (3) areas of control. Understanding these areas will greatly reduce diagnostic time and prevent premature failures when repairing these units. These
areas are:
The mechanical portion - Mechanical components allow the transfer of

torque through gears, clutches, and rotating shafts.
The hydraulic portion Hydraulic fluid supplies the necessary pressure to

move a piston or valve in the transmission to link the electric portion to the mechanical portion.
The electrical/electronic portion The electrical/electronic portion provides the means to give a full and direct control of the clutches. The use of electronics optimizes the shift quality, fuel economy, adaptation for conditions, and
driver preference.
Understanding these three areas completely will give the technician confidence
when faced with diagnostics rebuilding repairs that they are faced with day by
day.

Dual Cyclodial Pump
In 2003, the pump design changed to improved performance and fuel economy.
The design of this pump helps to prevent loss of prime, which can delay
engagement and cause a rough 4-3 downshift. Codes associated with pump
problems can include P0841 (L/R pressure switch) or P0944 (loss of prime). If a
fault occurs in Reverse only, there will be no code set. Previous design pumps had
a tilted gear pocket for the pump gears. The Dual Cyclodial pump has a square
design gear pocket to prevent drain back issues that were associated with the early
design pump. If the torque converter fails, this new pump can be easily damaged.

Dual Cyclodial Pump (continued)
Early pumps had a tilted pocket that was machined with a difference of 55 microns
air gap across the face of the pump gears and pump face, allowing the torque
converter to drain. This machining issue resulted in air, rather than fluid, being
drawn into the pump causing the loss of prime condition to occur. The cressent
and gears on the Dual Cyclodial pump are narrower than the first design pump.

2004 model year (except JR) Pistons
The UD, 2-4, and L/R pistons changed to stamped steel with bonded reusable
seals. These replaced the cast aluminum pistons that use D-ring seals.
The new L/R piston is not back serviceable as the vent orifice was removed for
durability issues (this reduced warranty-related issues due to the vent orifice
becoming unseated).

The 40TE (introduced in 2004) is used in smaller engine applications. Because of
this the load capacity of this unit does not require the same amount of friction

color to differentiate it from the old green accumulator spring. The reason for this
increase is due to the logic which requires the SSV to actuate.

Variable Line Pressure Operation
How the system works:
The Variable Line Pressure (VLP) feature requires changes to the 42RLE transmission control system. This feature uses the basic 45RFE line pressure control
logic with modifications to accommodate the hardware differences. The 42RLE
transmission with the VLP feature has a line pressure sensor to monitor the
actual line pressure and a Variable Force Solenoid (VFS to control the line pressure).
The basic control strategy reduces line pressure during in-gear conditions to
lower transmission oil pump load and other parasitic losses, and it, thereby, improves fuel economy. During shifts, the line pressure is raised to a programmed
level to provide good hydraulic response and consistent shift quality; this also
allows shifts to be made at higher input torques than were possible with fixed line
pressure.
The following changes are being added to Module Strategy.

1: Line pressure targets are added to support different shifts, ensure adequate
torque capacities of the clutches (both the element clutches and the torque converter clutch), and ensure adequate lubrication of the transmission.
i.
Line pressure targets for shifts: The pressure targets are adapted from
the line pressure values used in the current 41TE/42RLE
transmissions. This allows keeping most of the previous calibrations
for the transmissions with the VLP feature.
ii.
Line pressure target in-gear: The drive gear pressure target is based
on the clutch torque required to carry the input torque. The pressure
target in Neutral is balanced between the fuel economy and the
transmission lubrication.
iii.
Line pressure target upper limits: the upper limits for the line
pressure target are adapted from the fixed line pressure values used in
the 41TE/42RLE transmissions.
iv.
Line pressure target lower limit: The lower limits for the line pressure
target are established to provide the desired torque capacity of the
clutches and adequate lubrication for the transmission.
CHRYSLER
179
42RLE
Updates (continued)
Module Strategy
The following changes are being addedto Module Strategy.
(continued)
2: A closed-loop line pressure control algorithm is added: The algorithm compares
the actual pressure with the target pressure and controls the actual pressure to
the desired value. In order to maintain drivability with the faulty pressure sensor,
an open-loop control algorithm is also implemented.
3: A clutch-slip correction and line pressure adjustment algorithm is added.
When either an element clutch or the torque converter clutch slips unexpectedly,
the VLP feature raises the closed-loop control target pressure to its upper limit
temporarily to stop the slip and then adjusts the line pressure target calculation
to prevent future slip. In the event of a faulty line pressure sensor where openloop control is activated, this feature adjusts the open-loop VFS duty cycle
calculation to correct and prevent future slip.
4: New and revised control logic is added to adapt the existing logic to variable
line pressure.
5: A VLP enable bit is added to allow selection of VLP feature on an engine
application basis.
6: Failsafe logic is added to detect a VLP system failure, activate alternative control
strategies to maintain drivability, prevent possible further damage to the
hardware, and provide diagnostic information about the fault.
7: Torque Management logic is added to ensure stable torque converter CC-On
operation with throttle tip-ins. Throttle tip-ins during Torque converter CC-On
operation could cause unexpected torque converter slip until the converter clutch
pressure stabilizes.
8: Desired line pressures are being modified to improve the clutch capacities for
certain shifts and in-gear conditions, to improve shift consistency, or to
accommodate recent lab test results. Some logic is modified to improve reliability.

NOTE: The solenoid switch valve is not in the solenoid pack, it is in the valve body.
TRS Code Reads TR2
If the TRS Code displays TR2 it is an indication that the manual valve was not
fully in the OD position at the time the DTC was set. Check the shifter cable
adjustment and adjust if necessary. Also Check the shift control system for
excessive friction and/or routing issues.

Updates
Tow/Haul (OD OFF) Changed
For reasons of fuel economy, driveability, and customer satisfaction, the HB, WK,
and DR line of vehicles with 4.7L and 5.7L 545RFE Tow/Haul was added. These
features include:
Provides a replacement to the OD off feature
Enables the vehicle to up-shift to 4th gear under certain conditions to provide
NVH and fuel economy benefits
Delays up-shifts to avoid shift hunting while towing
Automatic downshifts during grade descent provide engine braking
On past vehicles, when the OD OFF was activated the transmission would not shift
into overdrive. The OD OFF switch is now the Tow/Haul switch and uses a
different strategy for operation. Unlike the OD OFF switch, the Tow/Haul switch
allows the RFE transmission to operate in 4th gear when certain conditions are
met. When activated, the transmission upshifts are delayed and the instrument
panel indicator is illuminated to notify the driver. Also, when the Tow/Haul feature
is active the vehicle can shift back into third gear for engine braking automatically.
This occurs when the Tow/Haul logic detects a closed throttle and a vehicle speed
increase of 5 mph, or if the brake is applied for more than 2 seconds. Vehicles
other than the WK, HB, and DR will retain the OD OFF function.

Revised Valve Body for 2005
In 2005 a new valve body was released with a revised separator plate to improve

Updates (continued)
Throttle Valve A ctuator
The transmission Throttle Valve Actuator (TTVA) is a new motor/actuator that is
mounted to the side of the transmission case and used to drive the throttle shaft.
This component eliminates the previous under hood actuator and linkage. The
Transmission case had 2 bosses added to the side for the actuator to mount to.
The detent feel was removed from the valve body and the throttle shaft was made 2
mm longer. The change was required for Diesel applications only. The V10 transmission will not have the actuator.
The new transmission will not service past designs.
The TTVA has a six pin connector, that supplies 12 volts to drive a motor from the
Cummins engine controller and uses 2 feedback potentiometers to report position
back to the controller to identify the correct position.
The TTVA consists of an electric DC motor, tow potentiometers, and a gear drive
system. The TTVA is mechanically connected to the transmission throttle valve in
the valve body by the D shaped o pening n the pottom of the TTVA shaft.
Changes in the TTVA position are therefore transferred to the throttle valve and
cause changes in the transmission throttle pressure. All changes in the throttle
valve position are controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM)
CHRYSLER
203
48RE
Updates (continued)
Adjustments
The Transmission Throttle Valve Actuator (TTVA) does not require any mechanical
adjustments. All changes in throttle valve position are controlled by the Engine
Control Module (ECM). The TTVA does require an initialization period after the
actuator has been removed or replaced. After the actuator has been removed or
replaced, move the ignition to the ON position for thirty (30) seconds. This will
allow the ECM sufficient time to perform the internal calibration procedures to
learn the TTVAs current zero position. Once this is done, check the ECM for
diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). If no DTCs are set relating to the TTVA, the TTVA
is fully calibrated and ready for use.

circuit is completed through Pin 3. Most of the time, circuit polarity causes the
actuator motor to either move the TTV shaft to full throttle position or hold the
TTV shaft in the closed throttle position against spring tension. To do this, Pin 3 is
grounded and Pin 5 is powered. To reverse the motor and rapidly change the position of the TTV shaft, the circuit reverses polarity. Pin 3 supplies 12V and Pin 5
supplies ground.

Transmission Throttle Valve Potentiometer
Two potentiometers are built into the TTVA body and provide two tranmission
throttle valve shaft position signals to the PCM. Two sensors are used for failsafe
redundecy and error checking. The sensors output analog signals to inform the
PCM that the TTV shaft moves as expected.
Two three-wire potentiometer sensors are used. The sensors use a common 5V
reference and sensor return. Each sensor ouputs and analog signal in proportion
to TTV shaft position, but one sensor uses reverse logic. As the TTV shaft rotates
to full throttle, the signal voltage from potentiometer #1 increases, and the signal
voltage from potentiometer #2 decreases. The sum of the two potentiometer signal
voltages should always qual approximatly 5V. the PCM monitors this value to
check the system integrity.

Diagnostics
First A pproach
Road Test and Lift Inspection
Get a description of the symptoms from the customer. Ask when the symptoms
occur (cold, first startup in the morning, after the vehicle is driven for a while and
warmed up, etc).
1.
Road test vehicle and note any symptoms and when they occur (cold, hot,
long drive, etc.)
2.
Note any howling or gear whine noises.
3.
Put vehicle up on a lift. Check axles and seals and note if there are signs of
leakage and/or excessive radial axle movement.
4.
Drain fluid through a paint strainer into a clean container.

Dark or black fluid indicate possible clutch failure.
5.
Note the amount and type of metal debris on the drain plug magnet Fine
black metal is normal. Shiny, flaky metal particles are a red flag for hard
parts failure.
Note: New solenoids are expensive and can be ruined if they are
installed and run on a contaminated unit. It is recommended
that you carefully check for signs of contamination or internal
failure before replacing solenoids.
Beware of vehicles that have had a miracle service, or have been flushed and
had the fluid changed before they came to your shop. Evidence of contamination
and internal failure may have been temporarily removed.

P0740
Problem in the Lockup Control
System
P0740:
Problem in Lockup Control System
P0740 is set when the PCM/TCM sees excessive TCC slip or no TCC apply by
comparing engine speed and mainshaft speed when full TCC apply is
commanded. It can be difficult to diagnose and verify repair of P0740 because
TCC slip parameters are not displayed in scan data, and there is no easy
way to accurately monitor TCC slip.
There are several possible causes for P0740. In this section we will outline how
the TCC is controlled, the common failures, and what needs to be addressed to
successfully repair and prevent P0740.
Common Causes for P0740:

1. TCC lining failure
2. Filter clogging from clutch or other internal failure
3. Sticky valves / solenoids
4. Valve body wear / leaking end plugs
5. Valve body misassembly
6. Worn Pump; excessive gear side clearance
7. Damaged, deteriorated, or wrong torque converter hub o-ring
8. Low fluid level

Collision Damage
Common Concerns/Problems
Common Transmission Problems Caused by Collision Damage

Honda/Acura automatic transmissions have all of their solenoids located externally. This makes them vulnerable to being damaged when the vehicle is involved
in a collision and surrounding body parts are crushed in on the transaxle.
1.
Poor shift quality, flares, bindups, neutralizing, delayed and or harsh

engagements, P0715, P0730, P0740, P0780, P1750, P1751: check for bent/
damaged solenoids
2.
Damaged wire harnesses, improperly repaired wiring.
3.
Grounds left loose, dirty, damaged, painted over, or left off.

Control Shaft Collar
Some 1998 year model 4 cylinder Accords and 2.3CLs had a problem with the
transaxle side cover casting. A selective collar was fitted behind the control lever
on the control shaft to repair the affected vehicles.
It is important to note the installation of this collar whenever the transaxle is
removed or transaxle service work is performed and make sure the collar is
reinstalled correctly.
If you are replacing the transaxle side cover, or the selective collar has been lost,
use the following page to identify the side cover and/or order the correct selective
collar.
228
HONDA
1998 BAXA, B6VA

Control Shaft Collar (continued)
Identifying the Side Cover
Affected 1998 side covers can be identified by the casting date code on the side
cover. The date code can be cast in any position (upside down, sideways, etc.) so
look carefully at the numbers to determine which way is up. The affected casting
date codes are 10/19 thru 11/18. These will require the installation of the selective
control shaft collar.
If the side cover is replaced with a used part, you want to inspect the replacement
side cover to determine if it requires the installation of a control shaft collar. Also
check for casting roughness at the ridge shown below.
HONDA
229
1998 BAXA, B6VA

Selecting the Correct Collar
Install collar B behind the control lever, then check the clearance between the
collar lip and control lever using a feeler gauge. The desired clearance is 0.004 to
0.018. If the clearance is not correct, select a thicker or thinner collar from the
chart on the following page.

No 4th, No TCC
A No command for 4th gear or TCC, no detent downshifts above 30 mph. The cause
of this may be a Knock Sensor
A Knock Sensor DTC may be present (P0330). Whenever a knock sensor DTC is
set 4th gear and TCC are inhibited and engine management goes into reduced
power strategy and detent downshift timing is affected. It is common for the
knock sensors themselves to fail.
To repair the concern replace the knock sensor.
Notes: If knock sensor DTC is cleared normal shifting and

operation will be restored until PCM performs knock sensor test
routine and DTC is set again. There are two PIDs in scan data:
OD CUT1 and OD CUT2. OD CUT1 responds to OD cancel switch
(switches from YES to NO). OD CUT2 indicates PCM OD inhibit
strategy.

Harsh Shifts After Overhaul
Reset adapts with factor scan tool. Battery disconnect or extensive driving may
not be successful.
Whenever an automatic transmission is replaced, overhauled or indivdual components are replaced, use this procedure to erase the Engine Control Module (ECM,
SAE term: Powertrain Control Module, PCM)Learned Values and minimize subsequent performance concerns.
Caution:
Failure to follow the following procedures may lengthen the time
to readjust the Learned Values, potentially resulting in
performance concerns.
Procedure 1
1999-2003 ES 300 and RX 300
2003-2005 GX 470
2004-2005 RX 330
1. Connect the Lexus Diagnostic Tester to the vehicle.
2. Reset the ECM (PCM). Refer to the procedures below.
3. Start the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature

4. Perform a thorough test drive with several accelerations from a stop with light
throttle application until proper tranmission shifting is verified.

Transmission Ranges and Operation
(continued)
Daimler-Chrysler has many different shifter part numbers but there are only two
basic types that a driver would notice. One is a common shifter like all other cars
and the second one is the Touch shifter as shown. When the shifter is in the D
range the shifter will also move side to side. If you push the shifter handle sideways toward the driver, or to the Minus sign, ( - ) for a moment the transmission
will down shift to the next lowest range. If you push the shifter side ways away
from the driver, or to the Plus sign, ( + ) it will up shift to the next highest gear.
The shifter can be used this way for sporty manual shifting. If you want it to go
back to full automatic shifting, push the shifter sideways away from the driver and
hold it for at least one second.
On most Daimler-Chrysler vehicles the Transmission Control Module will not let
the engine RPM exceed a safe operating speed so it may up shift to a higher gear
than the driver has selected. Also it may prevent or delay a down shift that has
been requested by the driver if a safe engine RPM will be exceeded.
The shifter shown on the opposite page has a Standard Mode/Winter Mode switch.
(Not all shifters will have a mode switch). In the Standard Mode all shifts will be
normal. The Winter Mode is for better traction on slippery roads in both forward
and reverse, it will take off in second gear and will shift earlier. It will also take off
in a higher ratio reverse than in the Standard Mode.

Solenoid Operation
Solenoid Overview
The Mercedes 722.6 transmission uses six solenoids on the valve body to control
transmission operation; three shift solenoids, a converter clutch solenoid, a pressure control solenoid, and a shift pressure control solenoid. Mercedes uses terms
for their solenoids that may not relate to an obvious function. The three shift
solenoids: the 1-2/4-5 shift, 2-3 shift, and 3-4 shift solenoids are obvious. However, the lock up solenoid is referred to as a PWM solenoid, the pressure control
solenoid is referred to as the modulating pressure regulator solenoid. The shift
pressure control solenoid is somewhat unique and well cover its function later.
Solenoid Operation
The modulating pressure regulating solenoid controls line rise by raising pressure to the spring side of the pressure regulator. This is a standard function like
most all computer-controlled transmissions. It also controls oil to three other
valves.
The PWM solenoid is also a fairly standard solenoid in that it controls converter
clutch operation.
Where the Mercedes transmission is radically different in solenoid operation is
with the shift solenoids. Because each shift releases one clutch while applying
another, timing is very important so you dont get a flare or bind-up during the
shift transition. Each shift solenoid uses a bank of four valves to control the shift
transitions. These valves are called:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Shift Pressure Shift Valve
Pressure Overlap Control Valve

Solenoid Operation (continued)
Keep in mind that each shift solenoid uses four of these valves, so in total there
are 12 valves that control all of the shift transitions.
The basic operation of these four valves is the same for each shift. To initiate a
shift transition the computer turns on one of the shift solenoids. For example, for
a 1-2 shift the computer turns on the 1-2/4-5 shift solenoid. This strokes the
command valve and initiates a shift transition. The other three valve control the
release rate of the B1 brake and the apply rate of the K1 clutch. Once the transition is complete, the 1-2/4-5 shift solenoid is turned off. To make a 2-1 down shift
the computer again turns on the 1-2/4-5 shift solenoid to initiate a transition. In
this case, since the transmission is in second gear the transmission transitions
back to first gear.
For a shift from second to third the 2-3 shift solenoid is energized to initiate the
transition. And just like to 1-2 shift, once the transition is complete the solenoid
is turned off. For a 3-2 downshift, the 2-3 shift solenoid goes through this cycle
again. Each shift works in this fashion.
During each transition apply pressure is controlled by the shifting pressure control solenoid. The release rate is controlled, in part, by the modulating pressure
regulator solenoid. These two solenoids work together to control the overlap for
each shift transition.

Torque Converter Operation
The Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) is hydraulically operated and electronically
controlled. The TCC consists of a piston and friction discs that provide a mechanical link between the impeller and turbine. When pressure is applied to the rear of
the TCC piston, TCC engagement is obtained. The torque converter clutch is never
fully engaged. The TCC when engaged, is always slipping at a rate of somewhere
between 5% and 95%. This reduces excess heat build-up, engine vibration and
pulse transmission through the torque converter and improves fuel economy.
TCC operation can be activated in 3rd, 4th or 5th gear ranges, depending on
transmission model, application, shift lever position, transmission temperature
and other factors.
The hub of the torque converter housing drives the transmission oil pump at
engine speed.
NOTE: Dont be fooled by the dis-coloration of the torque

converter, a blueish tint color is normal. When the factory
furnace brazes the fins in the torque converter, the color of the
metal takes on the look of a failed or burnt converter. Do NOT
replace the converter on its look alone without a proper test to
verify a failure.
MERCEDES
303
722.6/NAG 1
Torque Converter Shudder
TCC shudder or Ratio codes may be caused by installing the wrong torque converter. The torque converter can have one, two or three friction clutches. It can
also be equipped with or without a spring dampner. Always match the torque
converter to the vehicle application. The two common areas to look for the proper
application are the torque converter and the transmission ID tag on the side of
the transmission.

Air Checking the Torque Converter
The torque converter air checks just like an internal clutch pack and drum assembly. To air check the torque converter install the K2 drum and turbine shaft
into the torque converter locking the splines of the turbine shaft to the splines of
the converter.

Transmission Fluid
Transmission fluid serves a number of purposes including application of hydraulics, lubrication, cooling, cleaning and seal conditioning. Transmission shift quality, heat dissipation and Transmission Control Module (TCM) calibration all dictate
the type of transmission fluid that is used. Transmission fluids are similar but
have different characteristics such as viscosity and the additives in the fluid,
which is why there will be different fluids used in Crossfire, Sprinter and 300C.
Drain and refill the transmission fluid at the recommended service interval of
80,000 miles. Most other models are life time fill.
The transmission has varying capacities depending on vehicle application. Transmission fluid capacity includes the transmission, the torque converter and the
transmission fluid cooler.
The fill tube in Sprinter, Crossfire, Jaguar, and Mercedes vehicles is sealed from
the factory and requires a special service dipstick tool (#8863A) to check the fluid
level. A special cap is used for sealing the transmission dipstick tube. When the
locking pin is removed it will break off. The locking pin part number is A 140 991
00 55 when ordered from a Mercedes dealer. The 300C (LX) requires a special
service dipstick tool (9336). Grand Cherokee (WJ) comes equipped with a dipstick.
Dipstick tools are availible from miller tools for Chrysler vehicles.

Geartrain End-Play
Geartrain end play is a very critical pre-disassembly check to help determine the
condition of the transmission. End play readings greater than specification (larger
gap) indicate that a bearing or thrust plate is either missing, worn or has
disintegrated, in which case there will be debris in the oil pan. End play readings
that are below specification (smaller gap) indicate that a bearing is out of position
or that the transmission might have been previously set-up incorrectly.
Support the transmission in a vertical position, DO NOT rest the transmission on
the output shaft. Attach the tools as shown to measure end play. The gear train
end play is measured differently when the transmission is being reassembled.
Measure the end play between the park pawl gear and the end of the housing
and between the rear of the bearing contact surface and the end of the housing.
The difference between the two measurements is the gear train end play. Select
the appropriate shim so that the end play is between 0.3-0.5 mm (0.012-0.020
in.).

Oil Pump Assembly
The oil pump assembly supplies fluid under pressure to the transmission hydraulic
circuits and to the torque converter. The version of the gear pump used in the
transmission is called a crescent gear pump. The crescent gear pump consists of
an externally toothed gear that meshes with an internally toothed gear inside the
pump housing. The inner gear, driven by the engine through lugs on the rear of
the torque converter, drives the outer gear. A crescent-shaped piece extends into
the pumping chamber and lies between the two gears. The crescent separates the
inlet and outlet ports. As the gears rotate, the clearance increases at the inlet port,
creating the low pressure that allows atmospheric pressure to push in the fluid.
The gear teeth carry the fluid to the outlet port to discharge the fluid under
pressure.
The oil pump is mounted in the transmission converter housing. The oil pump can
only be serviced by disassembling the transmission. The bolts securing the oil
pump in the housing are inside the transmission through the B1 brake assembly.

Inspection
Before measuring any oil pump components, perform a thorough visual inspection of all the components. If any sign of scoring, scratches, or other damage is
seen, replace the oilpump as an assembly.
Side Clearance
Side clearance is the difference between the thickness of the pump gears and the
depth of the pocket in the pump housing. Side clearance can be measured by
laying a flat plate across the mounting surface of the pump housing, and measuring the distance between the plate and the gears.

Tip Clearance
Tip clearance is the difference between the tip diameters of the gear teeth and the
corresponding diameters of the pocket in the pump housing.
Tip clearance for the inner gear can be checked by moving the inner gear into
tight mesh (2) (Oil Pump Measurement) with the outer gear as shown. Clearance
between the ID of the crescent feature of the housing and the OD of the teeth of
the inner gear (3) should then be measured at a point 37 mm from the corner of
the cresent (1) feature as shown.

B1 Brake Clutch
The B1 brake clutch assembly is secured to the torque converter housing from the
outside with 11 bolts. The oil pump assembly is retained from the inside through
the B1 brake. Remove the oil pump bolts to remove both the oil pump and the B1
brake assembly. With the B1 brake assembly removed, the separator plate can be
lifted from the torque converter housing. Special tools are used to disassemble the
B1 brake. With the B1 brake selective snap ring, disc pack and spring removed, a
multiple use spring compressor (8900) availible from Miller tools, is used to remove the B1 piston snap ring. Remove the spring and the, blow the piston out
using 20 psi air pressure at the port (A) shown.

Planetary failure may be caused by installing the wrong planetary assembly.
There are two types of planetary assemblies: Three pinion and Four pinion.
The design of the planetary gears have been changed to have less thrust loads on
the needle bearings. There are two designs currently availible, however there are
many different ratios. Never install a three pinion planet in place of a four pinion
planet. Make sure you order the correct part using the vehicle VIN number.
