5L40E

Gear Ratio DTCs, TCC Slippage


The 5L40E is known for setting gear ratio error codes, mainly 5th or P0735. The actuator feed limit valve bore, the pressure regulator valve bore (In the pump) are problem areas that contribute to the complaint. Wear in these bores WILL cause line boost problems, slippage and ratio codes. TCC Concerns Lock up feels stacked on top of 4th. Lock up may seem rough, the 3-4 shift feels rough. While monitoring lock up, the lock up engagement may not happen until the TCC duty cycle is in the 50-60% range. This condition does not always set codes. The Converter Clutch is Slipping Once the TCC duty cycle gets in the 50-60% range the clutch will suddenly hold, this often occurs right after the 3-4 shift. This complaint is often caused by TCC regulator valve bore wear and TCC PWM solenoid problems. Always check for PCM program updates first before performing any repair work. The pressure regulator needs to be addressed while the trans is on the bench. Check with your supplier for repair components.
