IDENTIFICATION
Identification plate is located on side of transmission case. See Fig. 1. Identification plate information may be
required when ordering replacement components.
GEAR RATIOS
The 4L30-E automatic transmission is electronically controlled, providing 4 forward speeds and Reverse.
Transmission uses a gear-type oil pump to supply all hydraulic pressure needed for operation. Transmission
consists of a torque converter, 4 clutch assemblies, planetary gears and brake band. See Fig. 2.
Transmission shifting and torque converter lock-up are controlled by Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or
Transmission Control Module (TCM), depending on model application. The control module receives
information from various input devices and uses this information to control shift solenoids, band apply solenoid
and Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) solenoid. Control module uses input signals to control force motor
solenoid (also referred to as pressure control solenoid) operation, which activates pressure regulator valve for
controlling line pressure.
A torque management control system is used to reduce engagement shock caused by a change in vehicle speed
during shifting. Control module contains a self-diagnostic system which stores a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) if a specified failure or problem is present in transmission electronic control system. If a DTC has set,
transmission light (CHECK TRANS) or Sport Mode Light (STL) on instrument cluster will illuminate. DTC
may be retrieved to determine transmission problem area. For additional information on self-diagnostic system,
see HYDRA-MATIC 4L30-E ELECTRONIC CONTROLS article.
Transmission is capable of 3 different shift modes. These modes are ECONOMY/NORMAL mode,
SPORT/POWER mode and WINTER mode. ECONOMY/NORMAL and SPORT/POWER mode may be
selected by pressing SPORT/POWER mode switch. SPORT/POWER mode indicator light will illuminate.
WINTER mode may be selected by pressing button mounted on center console, near gearshift lever. Shift
modes are used to change transmission shift points for various vehicle operating conditions. See OPERATING
MODES.
Transmission is equipped with shift lock system. Shift lock system prevents gearshift lever from being moved
from Park unless brake pedal is depressed, ignition is on and release button on gearshift lever is depressed.
OPERATING MODES

2001 Honda Passport EX
2000-01 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS Hydra-Matic 4L30-E Overhaul
Economy/Normal
ECONOMY/NORMAL mode provides for better fuel economy by having control module initiate earlier part
throttle upshifts. Line pressure is lower in order to provide smoother upshifts and downshifts.
Sport/Power
Winter
In WINTER mode, control module changes shift solenoid states in order to start transmission in 3rd gear. By
starting off in 3rd gear, less torque is created, thereby reducing tire slippage on ice and snow. When WINTER
mode is selected, control module overrides all other modes. Control module only enters WINTER mode when
gearshift lever is in "D" (Overdrive), vehicle speed is less than 6 MPH, transmission fluid temperature is less
than 266°F (130°C), wide open throttle switch is off and throttle opening is less than 7 percent. WINTER mode
is canceled if WINTER mode button is depressed, gearshift lever is moved to Park or a lower drive range,
ignition is turned off, transmission fluid temperature is greater than 266°F (130°C), or wide open throttle switch
is activated. When WINTER mode is canceled due to one of these conditions, control module returns vehicle to
economy/normal mode, regardless of operating mode before selecting WINTER mode.

PERFORMANCE TESTS
NOTE: Shift speed tables reference throttle angle percent and output shaft speed. Both
conditions are monitored using scan tool. Shift speed tables apply when
transmission is in "D" (Overdrive) position while vehicle is driven in 4 forward
gears. Ensure vehicle speed listed in road test procedures corresponds with
output shaft speed indicated in shift speed tables. Upshifts and downshifts
should occur at specified output shaft speed noted in shift speed tables. Warm
up information in shift speed tables applies to open loop operation. Before road
testing vehicle, engine and transmission must be at operating temperature.
Torque converter clutch will not engage if engine coolant has not reached
operating temperature.
If transmission shift speeds are not as specified during road test, check for DTCs. See HYDRA-MATIC 4L30-E
ELECTRONIC CONTROLS article. If slippage occurs, determine which components are applied in each gear
to aid in diagnosis. See CLUTCH & BAND APPLICATIONS under TROUBLE SHOOTING. Perform
hydraulic pressure test to check transmission internal components. See HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TESTS.
NOTE: Perform the following tests in the sequence given. Ensure engine is operating
properly, and transmission fluid level and tire pressure are correct.
1. Connect scan tool. Ensure gearshift lever is in Park and parking brake is set. Start engine. Using scan tool,
ensure the following data can be displayed and is functioning properly:
Engine Speed
Transmission Output Speed
Vehicle Speed
Transmission Range
Commanded Gear (Current Gear)
PC Solenoid Actual Current
Brake Switch
Engine Coolant Temperature
Transmission Fluid Temperature
Throttle Angle
Ignition Voltage (Battery Voltage)
1-2 Shift Solenoid

2000-01 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS Hydra-Matic 4L30-E Overhaul
If all data is displayed and appears accurate, go to next step. If any data is in question, diagnose and repair
as necessary. See HYDRA-MATIC 4L30-E ELECTRONIC CONTROLS article or SELF-
DIAGNOSTICS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE.
2. Using scan tool, monitor brake switch signal while depressing and releasing brake pedal. Ensure scan tool
displays CLOSED with brake pedal released and OPEN with brake pedal depressed.
NOTE: Harsh engagement may be caused by high idle speed, commanded low PC
solenoid current or default condition caused by DTCs. Soft or delayed
engagements may be caused by low idle speed, low fluid level,
commanded high PC solenoid current or cold fluid.
3. Apply brake pedal and set parking brake. Move gearshift lever from Park to Reverse, Reverse to Neutral,
and then from Neutral to Drive. Pause 2-3 seconds in each range. Ensure engagements are immediate and
not harsh.
4. Using scan tool, monitor transmission range. Move gearshift lever through all ranges. Pause in each range
for 2-3 seconds and return gearshift lever to Park. Ensure all gearshift lever positions match scan tool
display.
5. Using scan tool, monitor throttle angle while increasing and decreasing engine speed with accelerator
pedal. Ensure actual engine speed matches engine speed displayed on scan tool.
6. Record test results in question for reference and continue with road test.
NOTE: To include normal driving ranges in the following test, check shift speeds at 10,
25 and 50 percent throttle angles.
Place gearshift lever in Overdrive. Accelerate vehicle to chosen throttle angle (10, 25 or 50 percent) and
hold steady. As transmission upshifts, note vehicle speed as shift occurs for each gear change. Compare
shift speeds with specification. See Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 . Check for harsh, soft or delayed shifts. Note any
noise or vibration. Repeat procedure for each throttle angle.
NOTE: The TCC will not engage until engine is in closed loop operation and
vehicle is on a level surface in a near-cruise condition (not accelerating or
coasting).
2. Check for TCC apply in 3rd and 4th gear. Note TCC apply point. Typical TCC apply speed in 4th gear is
45-55 MPH. A noticeable drop in engine RPM should be observed, and slip speed should decrease to less
than 100 RPM. Ensure TCC apply speed is within specification and TCC disengages with light
application of brake pedal. If TCC apply is not detected, check for DTCs. See HYDRA-MATIC 4L30-E
ELECTRONIC CONTROLS article. Check TCC operation. See TORQUE CONVERTER
DIAGNOSIS.

1. Torque converter stator roller clutch may fail and can either remain locked up at all times or freewheel in
both directions. If stator is freewheeling at all times, vehicle tends to have poor acceleration from a
standstill. Vehicle may operate normally at speeds greater than 30-35 MPH.
2. If poor acceleration is noted, ensure exhaust system is not blocked, engine timing is correct and
transmission is in 1st gear when starting from a standstill. If stator is locked up at all times, performance
from a standstill will appear normal. Engine RPM and acceleration is limited at high speeds. Engine may
overheat from this condition. A visual inspection of torque converter may reveal converter is Blue in
color indicating an overheat condition.
Noise Test
1. Torque converter whine is usually noticed when vehicle is stopped and transmission is in Reverse or
Drive. Whine will increase when engine RPM is increased and will stop when vehicle is moving or when
torque converter clutch is applied. Ensure whine originates from torque converter.
2. Start engine, and allow it to reach normal operating temperature. Apply parking and service brakes. Place
transmission in Drive. Depress accelerator pedal to increase engine speed to about 1200 RPM for less
than 6 seconds. DO NOT depress accelerator for more than 6 seconds or transmission damage may occur.
Torque converter noise will increase under this load.
NOTE: Torque converter whine should not be confused with pump whine, which is
usually noticeable in Park, Neutral and all other gear ranges. Pump whine will
vary with pressure.
CAUTION: Do not perform stall speed test for more than 5 seconds or transmission
damage may occur. Transmission must be cooled between tests by
placing gearshift lever in "N" position and operating engine at idle for at
least one minute.
1. Apply parking brake. Block all wheels. Connect tachometer and start engine. Warm engine to normal
operating temperature. Ensure transmission fluid level is correct.
2. Fully depress brake pedal. Place gearshift lever in "D" position. Fully depress accelerator for no more
than 5 seconds and note highest engine speed. This is torque converter stall speed.
3. Place gearshift lever in "N" position. Operate engine at idle for at least one minute to cool transmission.
Repeat test procedure with gearshift lever in "3", "2", "1" and "R" positions.
4. Ensure stall speed is within specification. See TORQUE CONVERTER STALL SPEED table. If stall
speed is not within specification, an internal torque converter or transmission failure is present. Check for
faulty oil pump, pressure control solenoid (also referred to as force motor solenoid), oil filter, pressure
regulator oil screen, pressure limiting valve, throttle valve switch or wiring harness between components.

2000-01 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS Hydra-Matic 4L30-E Overhaul
NOTE: Control module controls pressure control solenoid (also referred to as force
motor solenoid) in order to control pressure regulator valve. During line
pressure test, compare scan tool value for pressure control solenoid current
draw and transmission fluid pressure at oil pressure gauge to ensure line
pressure specifications are correct. Values on scan tool may deviate slightly.
Warm engine to normal operating temperature. Ensure transmission fluid level is correct. Turn engine off.
Apply parking brake. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC).
1. Raise and support vehicle. With engine off, remove oil pressure tap plug from line pressure tap located
near torque converter housing on driver's side of transmission case, just above adapter case oil pan. See
Fig. 5.
2. Install oil pressure gauge and adapter on line pressure tap. Start engine and allow it to idle. Line pressure
is checked in each transmission shift mode with engine idling and at stall speed with gearshift lever in
specified position. Shift mode may be selected by depressing sport/power mode switch mounted on
gearshift lever, or by depressing winter mode switch located to right of gearshift lever. When neither
sport/power or winter mode are selected, transmission will remain in economy/normal mode.
3. With engine idling, place gearshift lever in specified position and note line pressure reading. Line
pressure should be within specification. See appropriate LINE PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS table.
CAUTION: Stall speed should be greater than 1500 RPM. Normal stall speed
RPM is 2200-2450 RPM, depending on model application. See
TORQUE CONVERTER STALL SPEED table. Do not perform line
pressure test for more than 5 seconds at stall speed or transmission
damage may occur. Transmission must be cooled between pressure
tests by placing gearshift lever in "N" position and operating engine
at idle for at least one minute. Use scan tool to monitor transmission
fluid temperature. Under normal conditions, transmission fluid
temperature is 158-248°F (70-120°C).
4. To check line pressure at stall speed, fully depress brake pedal. Place gearshift lever in "D" position and
in proper shift mode. Fully depress accelerator pedal no more than 5 seconds and note line pressure
reading.
5. Place gearshift lever in "N" position. Operate engine at idle for at least one minute to cool transmission.
Repeat line pressure test procedure at stall speed with gearshift lever in "3", "2", "1" and "R" positions in
proper shift mode.
6. Line pressure should be within specification. See appropriate LINE PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS
