"Shiftin’ Great in 2008”
Seminar Information
ATSG Seminars
Welcome to the ATSG “Shiftin’ Great in 2008” Technical Training Seminar.
ATSG has prepared another year of technical information designed to help you be the best in the
business. Some shops say they cannot afford to come to these seminars. But as the years roll by
we are seeing these shops falling by the wayside and struggling while some have already gone
out of business. You cannot afford to not come to these seminars and those that come understand
the value these seminars have. Sometimes the value of these seminars is hard to gauge in that
you learn the solution to a difficult problem before it occurs in your shop. The days of
unnecessary work saved and money not wasted becomes an intangible saving. You fix the
problem immediately and make money and then move on to the next new money making job and
this is just one example. The day is filled with a variety of these time saving tips and technical
information with transmission coverage for General Motors, Ford, Chrysler and Import
vehicles. All of which is designed to help you make money and to be a success in your field. So
have a great day!

PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE REVERSE,
DIRECT AND OR COAST CLUTCH
COMPLAINT: Before and after a rebuild, the transmission may exhibit premature failure of the reverse,
direct or coast clutch.
CAUSE: Inside the pump cover there are air bleed ball capsules for each of these three clutches that
may not be seating properly. If the unit originally came in with bad pump rings or converter
clutch failure, debris may be lodged in the capsule preventing the air bleed ball from seating
causing a leak in the circuit (See Figure 1).
CORRECTION: The air bleed capsule can be flushed out with air and mineral spirits. When done, place
drums on to an assembled pump and air check to ensure that the balls seat with pressure.

DELAYED OR BIND UP IN REVERSE
FLARE OR BIND UP INTO 4th
COMPLAINT: The vehicle owner may complain of a delayed reverse and/or a flare 3-4 shift. In some cases a
bind up in reverse or on the 3- 4 shift may be noticed. The unit may failsafe with an incorrect
4th gear ratio code.

CAUSE: Pump rings used to seal reverse clutch and direct clutch oil pressure are known to
develop excessive wear causing their respective clutch to slip or to allow fluid pressure to
cross leak into the incorrect passage (Figure 2). The middle ring seems to be most prone
to wear. This problem is usually attributed to pump misalignment. Pump alignment is
critical. The pump is not a full circle which can allow misalignment if care is not taken.
CORRECTION: Replace seal rings and parts as necessary and align the pump. Inspect for high line
pressure problems and correct. Inspect for direct clutch drum bushing wear and excessive
end play which can accelerate ring wear and repair or adjust as necessary. In some cases
the edges of the ring grooves in the aluminum drum support of the cover are rough and
cut into the ring. Carefully dress the sharp edges of the ring groove with a fine file.

NO CONVERTER CLUTCH OPERATION

COMPLAINT: After a rebuild, the transmission may exhibit a no converter clutch apply problem possibly
producing code P0741 “converter clutch slippage detected.”
CAUSE: Some early pumps utilize a single TCC Valve that can be placed into the pump incorrectly.
The valve must go into the pump first followed by the spring and retainer. If the spring is
placed into the pump first followed by the valve and retainer, a no converter clutch apply
problem will occur.
CORRECTION: Install the TCC valve lineup correctly as shown in figure 4.

5TH GEAR RATIO ERROR CODES
COMPLAINT: The MIL lamp is illuminated with code 55 or P0735 stored for a “Gear Ratio Error in 5th
Gear”. There may be no complaint of slipping or drive ability problems.

CAUSE: The Direct/Reverse clutch housing has cracked in the thrust washer area where it contacts
the oil pump cover. (Refer to Figure 5 Below)

CORRECTION: Change the housing. Also, pay close attention to the OD accumulator, the seal sleeve in the
case between the valve body and OD/INT clutch housing and the # 12 check ball as these
are other known causes.

1-2 BIND UP
(SAFETY MODE VALVE STRATEGY)
COMPLAINT: Vehicles equipped with the 5L40E transmission may suddenly exhibit a bind up on the 1-2
shift.
CAUSE: One cause may be that the Safety Mode Valve in the valve body is stuck in an un-stroked
position. In first gear, this Safety Mode Valve is held closed by spring tension. This allows
line pressure to pass through the valve into the Line Safety Mode circuit which then strokes
the 4-5 Shift Valve. The 4-5 Shift Valve then directs 123 oil into the 123 Braking circuit
applying the L/R Clutch with regulated line pressure for engine breaking in first gear. (Figure
6)

When a 1-2 shift occurs, 1-2 signal oil which becomes memory pilot pressure is suppose to
stroke the Line Safety Mode Valve blocking the line pressure feed going to the 4-5 Shift
Valve. If the Safety Mode Valve can not stroke, the L/R Clutches remain on and a bind up on a
shift into second gear will occur. (Figure 7)
CORRECTION: Clean and free up the Safety Mode Valve. Determine what other problems may have
occurred to cause enough debris to stick the valve and repair as necessary.
SAFETY VALVE STRATEGY:
The Safety Mode Valve strategy is to allow for two failsafe gears, 4th and 5th. Should a fault
occur while the vehicle is driving, all solenoids will turn Off and the vehicle will failsafe to
5th gear. But with a fault immediately present after an ignition cycle, the vehicle will have
4th gear failsafe.

The Safety Mode Valve is stroked by 1-2 signal oil when a shift into second occurs. When
this happens, Actuator Feed Limit Pressure (Solenoid feed oil) is allowed to enter the
Memory Circuit which keeps the Safety Mode Valve in a stroked position. (See Figures 8 and
9) This also blocks line pressure from going to the 4-5 shift valve though the Line Safety
Mode Circuit.

Once the Safety Mode Valve is stroked it remains stroked throughout 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th
gear. (See Figures 10 and 11) When a shift into 5th occurs, the 4-5 solenoid turns off and 4-5
oil enters the Overdrive Clutch Feed 2 circuit applying the Overdrive Clutch. The Coast
Clutch is exhausted. (Figure 11) And this is exactly what takes place when the vehicle
failsafes to 5th while driving. (Figure 12)

But once the vehicle stops and the ignition is cycled, the Safety Mode Valve is forced closed
by spring pressure. Line pressure passes through the valve and into the Line Safety Mode
Circuit where it strokes the 4-5 Shift Control Valve. With all solenoids Off, this blocks 4-5 oil
from entering the Overdrive Clutch Feed 2 circuit placing the vehicle into a 4th gear failsafe.
(See Figure 13)

NOTE: This bulletin explains that if the Safety Mode Valve should stick in an un-stroked
position a bind up in 2nd will occur. But if this valve should get stuck in a stroked position, a
loss of engine breaking in first gear may be noticed. If the vehicle failsafes, it will have 5th
gear even after an ignition cycle.

When a shift into second occurs, 1-2 signal oil (memory pilot) is sent to stroke the Safety Mode Valve.
When the valve is stroked, actuator feed limit fluid is used to hold the valve in a stroked position. Should
all the solenoids turn off due to a fault, this valve is held in a stroked position which will allow for 5th
gear failsafe. When the ignition is cycled, the valve will un-stroke making 4th gear the failsafe gear.

FALLING OUT OF 5th OR NO 5th AT ALL

COMPLAINT: Before and/or after a rebuild, the transmission may exhibit a sudden falling out of 5th gear or
no 5th at all. This condition may be more evident when operating temperature increases and a
5th gear ratio error fault code may be stored.
CAUSE: The Actuator Feed Limit (AFL) valve has developed sufficient bore and valve wear that it
causes a pressure drop in the memory pilot circuit. This causes the Safety Mode valve to be
closed by spring tension. When the valve closes, line pressure passes through the valve and
into the 4-5 shift valve circuit forcing the valve into a 4th gear position. (See Figures 14 and
15) The AFL bore and valve can wear to a point where it prevents 5th gear completely.

CORRECTION: Repair the AFL valve/bore wear with a reamer and sleeve kit or replace the valve body.

GM TOW/HAUL MODE
TOW/HAUL SWITCH MALFUNCTION

COMPLAINT: Tow/Haul Mode inactive, light on dash will not illuminate when switch is activated on shifter
handle. This condition could cause code B2722 to set. In some diagnostic information, the
Tow/Haul Mode Switch is referred to as a “Preference Switch”.

CAUSE: A break or short in wiring in the area where the shifter arm pivots on steering column.
Possible Tow/Haul Mode switch failure.

CORRECTION: Repair the wiring or replace the switch. The switch and wiring are an integral part of the shift
lever, it comes as an entire assembly.

SERVICE INFORMATION:
When trying to find a wire schematic either in engine performance or transmissions there are
none to be found whether looking in a factory manual, Alldata or Mitchell On Demand. The
wire diagrams are located in the Body Control Module schematics only, (See Figure 1). To
test the Tow/Haul switch function on a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 at the Body Control
Module, check for voltage on the Light/Blue wire at pin B12 on the BCM. Do not confuse
this wire with the Light/Blue Park Brake Switch Signal wire located on pin B10. Use the
connector view in Figure 2 to identify the correct connector pin number. With the key on,
engine off, there should be 12 volts present at terminal B12. If there is no voltage present,
check for a short to ground in the area of the steering column where the shifter arm pivots. If
voltage is present, toggle the Tow/Haul switch to see if the voltage drops to zero and back to
12 volts, this will verify the integrity of the switch. If the voltage doesn't change then there is
either a break in the wiring to the switch or the switch itself may be bad. At this point the
Light Blue wire at pin B12 can be shorted to ground, to verify that the Tow/Haul light is
working correctly in the dash.
Check the Tow/Haul parameter on the scan tool for a state of change as the switch is cycled,
the scan tool parameter change of state should match the DVOM display.

GM/BMW 5L40E
HARSH OR SLIPPING SHIFTS

COMPLAINT: After overhaul, the transmission has either harsh or soft shifts. A line pressure check reveals
normal operation and there is no valve wear in the valve body.

CAUSE: The accumulator assemblies have been mis-assembled.

CORRECTION: Accumulator housings, pistons and springs are model dependant, therefore, housings, pistons
and springs will have varied dimensions depending on which vehicle that 5L40E is in.
The accumulator positions are identified in Figure 1, however, the same accumulator assembly
may be used in a different location depending on vehicle model. There are combinations that will
use the same accumulator housing and piston, but the spring is dimensionally different.
The two valve bodies that the ATSG Tech Department inspected has the same valve body casting
numbers and the same spacer plate ID numbers, however, each valve body has a different
engraved number on it, the location of which is seen in Figure 3. The measurements that were
taken is also seen in Figure 3.

The measurement charts in Figures 4 and 5 are the results of the two valve bodies with different
engraved numbers.
The blank chart in Figure 6 is for the technician to copy and record engraved numbers and
measurements that are different than what is seen in the charts.

GENERAL MOTORS 4L80E
NEUTRALS DURING OR AFTER THE UP SHIFT TO 4TH GEAR

COMPLAINT: Before or after overhaul, a GM vehicle equipped with the 4L80E transmission exhibits a
complaint of a neutral condition either during the shift to 4th gear, or immediately after the
shift.

CAUSE: One cause may be a loss of Actuator Feed Limit (AFL) Valve oil pressure in the valve
body, or a leak in the Shift Solenoid B circuit.

The Actuator Feed Limit valve is used to control the amount of solenoid pressure that is fed
to Shift Solenoid A, Shift Solenoid B, and the Force Motor/EPC Solenoid. If AFL pressure
is inadequate, the solenoids cannot function properly. AFL pressure can be lost because of
a worn bore in the Actuator Feed Limit Valve line up, or a damaged or worn O-ring on the
Actuator Feed Limit Valve Filter located in the valve body behind the manual valve. A
pressure leak in the AFL circuit can lead to reduced pressure at the 2-3 shift valve. If this
occurs, the 2-3 shift valve spring may push the valve back into the 1st gear position. This
causes the transmission to immediately make a shift back to 1st gear, which feels like
neutral because 1st gear is in a over speed condition. The reason an issue with the 2-3 Shift
Valve occurs before a problem with the 1-2 Shift Valve is because the Shift Valve Spring is
heavier on the 2-3 Shift valve causing the valve to return easier to its resting position.
Additionally, a leak in the Shift Solenoid B circuit can create the same condition. The
transmission can make a shift back into 1st gear during or immediately after an up shift
into 4th. A loss of Shift Solenoid B oil pressure, can be caused by a defective solenoid, a
leaking solenoid O-ring or an inadequately sized solenoid feed hole in the separator plate.
A scan tool may help the technician diagnose this problem by monitoring the parameters
for gear ratio during the up shift into 4th gear. Fourth gear ratio for the 4L80E is .75, while
1st gear ratio is 2.48. If a ratio of 2.48 is indicated on the scan tool when the shift takes
place it would indicate the transmission has shifted back to 1st gear. Refer to Figure 1 for a
gear ratio and shift solenoid apply chart. Refer to Figure 2 for a partial hydraulic schematic
of the Actuator Feed Limit Valve, 2-3 Shift Valve, and Shift Solenoid B circuits.

CORRECTION: Check the AFL bore in the valve body and inspect the O-ring on the AFL filter. Replace the
O-ring if it is damaged. If the AFL bore is worn, there is a boring tool and a sleeve and valve
kit available from Sonnax as well as a Shift Valve Spring Replacement Kit for both the 1-2
and 2-3 Shift Valves. Refer to Figure 3 for a valve body breakdown showing listed
components.

If the AFL valve and the Filter are in good condition, then it may be necessary to replace
Shift Solenoid B. In addition, the solenoid feed hole in the separator plate may be enlarged
slightly to overcome this condition. Using a .035” drill bit, carefully enlarge solenoid feed
hole. DO NOT ENLARGE SOLENOID FEED HOLE MORE THAN .035”. Refer to
Figure 4 for Shift Solenoid B feed hole location in the separator plate.

This 4th Gear partial hydraulic diagram depicts AFL pressure loss due to a flattened AFL
Filter O-ring and a worn AFL Valve bore. Note the loss of Actuator Feed pressure to the 2-3
Shift Valve and also Sol. B Feed. The 2-3 Shift Valve is affected before the 1-2 Shift Valve
because the 2-3 Shift Valve Spring is heavier. This loss of AFL pressure moves the 2-3 Shift
Valve into the 1st gear position, and 1st gear is obtained regardless of the position of the 3-4
Shift Valve.

SATURN VUE WITH AF33-5 TRANSMISSION


LIMP MODE WITH CODE P0717 SET

COMPLAINT: The vehicle comes to the shop in limp mode with code P0717 set for “Input Speed Sensor Signal
Low”.

CAUSE: The Input Speed Sensor like the output speed sensor are two wire Hall Effect type sensors. They
are supplied system voltage on the “ISS/OSS HI” circuit and then produce a toggled voltage
signal on the “ISS/OSS LO” circuit, as seen in the electrical schematic in Figure 1 as well as
TCM connector view and terminal assignment in Figure 2. The voltage signal is unique in as
much as the low end of the signal is 0.6 volts, and the high end of the signal is 1.6 volts. This
means that the actual switched voltage is one volt.
For those that have the AF33-5 GM Technician’s guide, the explanation of the ISS operation is
extremely confusing because the guide states that “the sensor is supplied a reference voltage of
0.6 volts. It also stipulates that the size of the output voltage does not depend on a rotation
number and is fixed at 1.4 volts”. This is misleading at best.

The scan tool displayed an engine rpm of 776, but the ISS parameter was zero. With the ignition
on, engine off, the voltmeter indicated that the ISS signal wire had 7.6 volts on it while the OSS
signal wire had 1.6 volts. This could only mean that the ISS signal wire was shorted to power or
the sensor was bad. The ISS was unplugged and checked for voltage, there was none, this lead to
a faulty ISS.

CORRECTION: Once the ISS was replaced, the signal readings were normal, the ISS rpm and engine rpm were
close to each other.

Many thanks to Seth at AAction Transmissions in Miami, FL. for providing the Saturn Vue with the ISS

SATURN VUE & ION


2-3 FLARED SHIFT

COMPLAINT: The vehicle came in with a 2-3 flared shift. After overhaul, the 2-3 flared shift is still present, and
there is now a flare on the 3-4 shift ad the shifting is erratic and harsh.

CAUSE: The 2-3 flare is due to aeration of the transmission fluid resulting in a delayed apply of the third
gear band.
The 2-3 and 3-4 flare and the erratic and harsh shifts are caused by the failure to do a mandatory
TCM relearn procedure as seen in Figure 1.

CORRECTION: Once the relearn procedure has been completed, drive the vehicle and see if the shift complaints
are gone. If any of the complaints are still present, a reflash may be in order, and is some cases the
replacement of the valve body may be necessary depending on transmission and revision part
number. as shown in the chart in Figure 2.
GM suggests that the valve body be replaced first after which the vehicle should be driven to
reevaluate the shift quality and if necessary, then reflash the TCM.
Check the identification tag on top of the transmission for the part number as illustrated in Figure
3, and compare it to the chart in Figure 2.

SATURN “S” SERIES


CODE P1624

COMPLAINT: A Saturn “S” Series comes into the shop with a Code P1624 set and a code definition of
“Customer Snapshot Data Available”, (Refer to Figure 1).

CAUSE: Saturn “S” Series vehicles from 1996 to 2002 have the ability to store a “Freeze Frame”
snapshot of a problem that the PCM detected but is not yet a hard code. In other words it is a
“Pending Code” which means it has not yet met the failure criteria to become a hard code and
will not be stored in the PCM memory. However, one data frame will be stored as a “Freeze
Frame” snapshot.
This allows the technician to capture an intermittent driveabilty malfunction that may be
difficult to duplicate while driving the vehicle.

NOTE: Only cars with Cruise Control have this ability. This is because in order to retrieve the stored
“Freeze Frame”, you must cycle the Cruise Control ON/OFF Switch, (Refer to Figure 2),
three times within a three second time period from the time the ignition is turned on.

CORRECTION: See if the single “Freeze Frame” that is retrieved can lead the technician to the appropriate
repairs. Use your scan tool and scan for “Pending Codes” just in case one has been set.
“Pending Codes” are usually stored in the “OBD-II Global” library of your scan tool.

GM 6T70/75
PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
The new Hydra-matic 6T70/75 (6 Speed) is a fully automatic, six speed, front wheel drive, electronically
controlled transmission that features clutch to clutch shifting. It is also all-wheel drive capable. It was first
introduced in the 2007 GMC Acadia and Pontiac G6, and is shown in Figure 1. It consists primarily of a four
element torque converter, three planetary gear sets, five clutch packs, one mechanical one-way clutch and a
hydraulic pressurization and control system. Three planetary gear sets provide the six forward gear ratios and
reverse. Changing gear ratios is fully automatic and is accomplished through the use of a Transmission Control
Module (TCM), that is located within 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 Clutch Pressure Control (CPC) solenoids within the transmission to control
shift timing. The TCM controls shift feel through the CPC solenoids. 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. This manual contains procedures necessary to diagnose, overhaul and/or
repair the new 6T70 (6 Speed) transmission from General Motors.

FAIL-SAFE OR PROTECTION MODE


If for any reason, the entire electronic control system of the transmission, or any one of the electrical
components within the Control Solenoid Body and TCM Assembly becomes disabled, the transmission will
default to fail-safe mode. If the transmission is in 1st, 2nd or 3rd gear during an electrical failure, the
transmission will default to 3rd gear. If the transmission is in 4th, 5th or 6th gear during an electrical failure, the
transmission will default to 5th gear.
If for any reason, the entire electronic control system of the transmission fails, the line pressure control
solenoid will be OFF, and maximum line pressure will be the result. This will create harsh engagements and
garage shifts. The TCC PC solenoid would also be OFF, resulting in no torque converter clutch apply.

I/O SPEED SENSOR ISSUES

COMPLAINT: A 2007 GMC Acadia equipped with a 6T70 transaxle may develop a problem illuminating the
“Check Engine” lamp with some of the following codes being set: P0716, P0717, P0722, P0723,
P0751, P0756, P0776, P0796, P2714 or P2723. A 2007 Buick Enclave
Pontiac G6, Saturn Aura or Outlook may also develop this same complaint.

CAUSE: The Input and/or Output Speed Sensors are faulty.

CORRECTION: Use a scan tool to check input and output rpm and replace the defective speed sensor(s).

To replace the ISS or OSS speed sensor, the valve body will have to be removed. Remove only the
shaded bolts shown in Figure 1 to remove the valve body assembly.
The location of the speed sensors is explained in Figure 2.

NOTE: There has been problems with the input and output speed sensors while still under the factory
warranty. Refer to Factory Bulletin 07-0730-019A.

SERVICE INFORMATION:
A/T Input Speed Sensor...............................................................................................24223891
A/T Output Speed Sensor............................................................................................24238337

SPECIAL NOTE: Care must be taken when dropping the frame to gain access to the transmission to not let the
splined steering knuckle slip out of the steering rack. If this should occur, after reassembly the steering wheel will
rotate continuously and could cause damage to the clock springs setting a variety of codes.

AMG HUMMER H1 1997 - 2000
MYSTERIOUS TRANSMISSION FLUID LOSS

COMPLAINT: Before or after overhaul, a 1995 to 2000 model Hummer H1 enters the shop with an
unexplained transmission fluid loss, venting from the transfer case or transmission fluid
contaminating the air filter.

CAUSE: One cause may be the oil cooler in the transfer case has a crack and is leaking ATF into the
transfer case.

Hummer uses a cooler inside the NV242HD Transfer Case. The cooler tube is prone to
cracking which will allow transmission cooler pressure to leak into the transfer case. Once
this begins occurring, the transfer case will become overfilled and depending on the
severity of the crack, fluid may vent from the transfer case, or the fluid can make its way
into the air cleaner and contaminate the air filter and leak near the right front tire. It is also
possible for the fluid pressure to push out the rear seal. Transmission damage may also
occur if the transmission fluid level becomes too low.

In 2001 Hummer introduced an updated cooler with a revised support bracket and
additional mounting tabs to restrict movement and eliminate cracking of the cooler. This
revised cooler can be identified by the “Blue” ID Stripe located on one of external fittings.

Refer to Figure 1 for Cooler location in the Transfer Case. Refer to Figure 2 for cracking
location of the Cooler Tube. Refer to Figure 3 for description and depiction of revised
Transfer Case Cooler. Refer to Figure 4 for Transfer Case Cooler, hose and cooler line
routing diagram.

CORRECTION: Install the updated cooler.

ALLISON MT545
ELECTRIC MODULATOR OPERATION

COMPLAINT: The transmission shifts are to soft or to harsh. The transmission may have durability issues as
far as burning the friction plates either before overhaul or prematurely, after overhaul.

CAUSE: One of the components in the electric modulator control system has failed.

CORRECTION: The electric modulator has only two positions, light throttle operation and heavy throttle
operation. With light throttle the modulator is not energized, therefore, the transmission is
using a set line pressure of approximately 155 psi.
When the throttle is depressed to 80% or greater, the modulator is then energized and
pressure is raised to insure proper clutch holding pressure. This is also important when the
vehicle is fully loaded. It takes more throttle to move the vehicle thereby energizing the
modulator to raise clutch pressure to insure durability.
When the throttle is released to 60% or less, the modulator is released to avoid clunks on the
downshifts.

The components involved are the vehicles Engine Control Module, Accelerator Pedal
Position Module, (See Figure 1), Modulator Control Relay, (See Figure 2), and the Electric
Modulator, (See Figure 3).
The Accelerator Pedal Position Module sends its signal to the ECM. The ECM in turn
grounds the normally open Modulator Control Relay which energizes the modulator.
The modulator is provided with system voltage which depends on whether it is a 12 volt or
24 volt system. Once the modulator is energized its plunger shoots out and strokes the
modulator valve. This system can be used in a non-comouter controlled vehicle by the use of
a throttle controlled ON/OFF switch.
The modulator can be mechanically faulty if it is stuck in or out, or, it can be electrically
faulty if it is shorted or open.
The relay could be open which would not energize the modulator or it could be stuck closed
which would result in the modulator not withdrawing.
If the APPM signal is faulty, the relay would not be energized or could be energized at all
times.
The ECM could be faulty by not providing the necessary ground to the relay or by providing
ground at all times. The ECM in the vehicle is provided by the engine builder, (International,
Cummins, Caterpillar, etc.). The relay and APPM is provided by the truck maker, (Ford,
GMC, Freightliner, Mack, Etc.). The modulator is supplied by Allison.
The modulator has two wires, one is from the relay which provides electricity to the
modulator. The other is ground which is usually grounded to the chassis nearby.
Check for system voltage to be present at the modulator on full throttle and no electricity
when the throttle is released, (Refer to the wire diagram in Figure 4). In most cases the faulty
component is usually the modulator or the relay.

GM ALLISON 1000/2000
NO UP SHIFT, DTC P0708 STORED

COMPLAINT: Before or after overhaul, a GM vehicle equipped with the Allison 1000/2000 transmission
may exhibit a no up shift condition. When scanning the truck code P0708 (Transmission
Range Sensor Circuit Input High) is stored. Usually when this code is stored, replacing the
“Neutral Start Backup Switch” cures the problem, however, when looking for the NSBU
switch, the technician notices the switch is not bolted on the driver side of the transmission
case.

CAUSE: Beginning in 2006, GM vehicles with the Allison 1000/2000 transmission eliminated the
NSBU switch on the outside of the transmission, and instead used an Internal Mode Switch
in its place. The Internal Mode Switch is located on the selector shaft inside the
transmission and indicates gear selector position to the ECM. When this Internal Mode
Switch was introduced, the internal harness in the transmission was also changed because
internal harness pin assignments were changed as well.

The switch can be tested in the same way as the previous NSBU switch, and switch parity is
identical. Refer to Figure 1 for Internal Mode Switch location. Refer to Figure 2 for
Transmission Harness Connector Pin ID Internal Mode Switch models and NSBU models
with Line Pressure EPC Solenoid.

CORRECTION: Verify wiring harness integrity, replace the Internal Mode Switch. Refer to Figure 3 for
partial wiring diagram and Internal Mode Switch parity test chart.

Note: These parts may not be available from GM, but, are available from an Allison Dealer.

GM ALLISON 1000/2000
SETTING CODE P0735 ON HIGHWAY

COMPLAINT: Before or after overhaul, a GM vehicle equipped with the Allison 1000/2000 transmission
exhibits a complaint of a neutralizing condition while driving at highway speeds. Code
retrieval indicates code P0735 (5th gear ratio error) is stored.

CAUSE: One cause may be severe damage inside the transfer case causing the transfer case to go
into neutral which causes the computer to store code P0735. This severe damage in the
transfer case is caused by a loss of fluid inside the transfer case itself. The reason for the loss
of fluid is overheating. Overheating to the point the fluid vaporizes and escapes through the
vent system.

Mike Weinberg from “Rockland Standard Gear” covered this problem very well in the
March, 2007 issue of “Transmission Digest”. At this time Mike and his Staff are
recommending to remove the ATF from the transfer case and replace it with 5w-30 motor
oil, and adding an extra quart to the level after it is filled by removing the speed sensor and
adding the extra quart there. In addition, Rockland Standard Gear is recommending the
fluid level be checked every 5,000 miles, and changed every 10,000 miles. For additional
information refer to the March, 2007 issue of Transmission Digest.

CORRECTION: Repair or replace the transfer case, fill with 5w-30 motor oil, adding 1 extra quart, then
rechecking levels at 5,000 mile intervals, and changing the fluid at 10,000 mile intervals.

Special thanks to Mike Weinberg of Rockland


Standard Gear for the contribution of this article.

ALLISON 1000 SERIES

TCC CYCLING OR SURGE

COMPLAINT: After torque converter replacement, the vehicle has TCC cycling or surge. This might be
mistaken for an engine miss. When scanning the TCM, the TCC solenoid operation appeared
normal, even the tachometer was steady. No codes were stored, but when a movie was taken
during a road test, what was found was a glitch in the engine rpm signal.

CAUSE: The replacement torque converter had damaged dimples on the outside housing, Refer to Figure
1). Since the engine speed sensor is located in the bellhousing and is excited by the dimples on
the outside of the converter, (Refer to Figure 2), the damaged dimples created a glitch in the
engine speed signal. This glitch or “hiccup” in the engine speed signal was enough to cause the
TCC related problems.

CORRECTION: When a replacement converter is used, be sure the dimples on the outside are not damaged. Care
must be exercised in handling both the original and the replacement converters.

NOTE: A drain plug cannot be installed as this will cause a similar problem since the engine speed
sensor would spike the signal when it sees the drain plug.
