Parl Lock Actuator
A control solenoid called the Park Lock Actuator is located in the valve block. The solenoid is controlled by the
TCM (transmission control module) and converts electrical signals into hydraulic control signals to control
the electronic park lock function.
The control solenoid is an on/off solenoid which is controlled by the TCM (transmission control module) by
switching the solenoid to earth.
When the Park lock is to be released, the park lock solenoid valve sends ATF (automatic transmission fluid)
pressure to the spool valve and moves it into contact with the claws of the solenoid. Movement of the spool
valve moves the park rod and releases the park pawl from the park interlock gear. The control solenoid is
energized by the TCM (transmission control module) and the claws close to retain the spool valve in the
unlocked position. A shuttle valve retains ATF (automatic transmission fluid) pressure on the spool to prevent
inadvertent park lock operation in the event of an electrical failure until the engine is stopped.
When the Park lock is to be engaged, ATF (automatic transmission fluid) pressure is released from the spool
valve and the TCM (transmission control module) de-energises the control solenoid. The claws are released,
the spool valve returns under spring pressure to the park lock position and the park lock is engaged. A Service
Park Release (SPR) procedure must be performed to release the parking lock manually if an electrical failure
occurs or the engine is not running.
To allow the vehicle to roll through a car wash, the control solenoid remains energized if the engine is stopped
with the TCS (transmission control switch) in neutral. This holds the transmission out of park without
hydraulic pressure for 10 minutes. After this time the control solenoid is de-energised, releasing the claws and
allowing the spool valve to return to the park position.
The resistance of the solenoid coil winding is 25 Ohms at 20 °C (68 °F).

SERVICE PARK RELEASE
Service Park Applied 948TE Service Park Released
Service Park Applied ZF8HP48 Service Park Released

948TE (MPR) - Park by wire applications
Dodge/Chrysler vehicles utilize an emergency Manual Park Release Lever to disengage Park should
power be lost. On the bench, the lever can be flipped and bolted down to service the valve body assembly.
ZF8HP48 Land Rover Service Park Release (SPR) - Park by wire applications
The SPR is a mechanical procedure which requires removal of the air filter housing for access. The
procedure is required when there has been a loss of vehicle electrical power or a failure to the automatic
transmission preventing release of the park lock. The following procedure must be used to release the
park lock before moving the vehicle. The vehicle must be held by either the electric park brake or wheel
chocks to prevent it unintentionally moving when the park lock is released.
1. Make sure that the ignition is off.
2. Remove the air filter assembly to get access to the SPR lever on the automatic transmission
3. ZF8HP48 - Rotate the SPR lever in a counter clockwise direction until the slot in the SPR lever aligns
with a corresponding hole in the transmission's casing. Hold the SPR lever in this position and insert a
suitable 5mm diameter locking pin through the slot in the SPR lever and into the hole in the
transmission's casing. The vehicle can now be moved.

ZF9HP48 Fluid Specifications
Use Shell L12108 (ZF Lifeguard 8) Automatic Transmission Fluid. Dry fill: 6.5L
The transmission fluid must be checked only when temperatures are between 37°C (99°F) and 45°C (113°F)
Make sure that all four wheels are off the ground for this step.
Move the transmission control switch (TCS) from D to S then using the steering paddles pause in each gear for
a minimum 10 seconds until you reach 4th gear. (max 2000rpm)
Decelerate the wheels until they stop, then turn the (TCS) back into the P position.
Make sure that torque converter is full of oil by raising the engine speed to 2000rpm for 10 seconds, return to
idle speed.
Engine must be running to carry out the fluid level check. When transmission fluid temperature reaches 37°C,
remove the level plug and wait until oil stops dripping out.
If the transmission fluid does not come out of the transmission fluid level plug hole the transmission fluid level
is insufficient. If this is the case add the transmission fluid in 0.5 litre units into the transmission fluid fill plug
hole until fluid comes out.
Install plug and torque to: 35 Nm.
Both the 948TE and the ZF9HP48 have a drain plug

located at the bottom of the case to be used for partial
drains.

DOG CLUTCH "A" AND "F"

A unique feature to this 9 speed front wheel drive
transmission is the use of dog clutches.
Both dog clutches are similar in their operation. Each

clutch is operated by fluid pressure acting on a double
action piston to move the dog clutch into and out of
engagement.
Dog Clutch 'A' (figures 22 and 23) connects the input

shaft to the number 2 sun gear which is also the number
1 ring gear (figure 24).
Dog clutch 'F' holds stationary the number 3 and 4 sun

gears (which is one long sun gear working to carriers -
figure 25) to the centering plate mounted in the Figure 24
transmission casing (figure 26).
Figure 22 Figure 25
Figure 23 Figure 26
17-24
DOG CLUTCH "A" DETAILS"

As seen in figures 22 and 23, Dog clutch 'A' is located at the end of the input shaft and is controlled by a double
acting piston located within the input shaft. This piston moves within the shaft when fluid pressure is applied
to either side of the piston. The piston is connected to the dog 'A' by a pin which moves in a slot in the input
shaft.
Dog 'A' itself is a sleeve with internal and external splines which is permanently engaged with the input shaft
via the internal splines. When the piston moves dog 'A' along the input shaft to the 'closed' position, dog 'A'
engages with splines on the gearset 1 and 2 planet carrier, transferring drive from the input shaft to the gear set
2. When the dog 'A' is to be disengaged to the 'open' position, fluid pressure is applied to the opposite side of
the piston and dog 'A' is moved along the input shaft and is disengaged from the planet carrier. Dog 'A' is in the
'closed' position in gears 1 through 7.
The dog 'A' has two states; open and closed. The piston cannot determine if the dog 'A' has traveled its full
distance into or out of engagement with the ring gear carrier or has remained in an intermediate position. The
piston is fitted with a sensing piston and the fluid pressure leakage through the sensing piston can be measured
by the pressure sensor (transducer) located on the valve body.
The sensing piston is hollow and moves axially within the piston. When fluid pressure is applied to the right
side of the piston, the piston and the sensing piston are pushed to the left. During the movement of the piston, a
small amount of fluid pressure is passed through the sensing piston. This leakage pressure is measured at the
left side of the piston by the pressure sensor (transducer). When the piston has moved fully to the left and
reached its end position, the leakage through the sensing piston is blocked. The pressure drop on the left side of
the piston is sensed and the transmission control module can determine the dog clutch 'A' is fully disengaged
with the ring gear carrier.
If the pressure on the left side of the piston does not drop within a specified shift time, the TCM (transmission
control module) can determine that the dog 'A' has stopped in an intermediate position.
The dog clutch 'A' has four possible states of operation as follows:
A. Dog 'A' Open - Fluid pressure is applied to the piston from the left side chamber and the dog clutch 'A' is
open. The fluid pressure in the right chamber is almost zero because the sensing piston is pushed to its limit of
movement and leakage through the sensing piston is prevented.
B. Dog 'A' Closing - Fluid pressure is applied from the right side chamber which starts the piston moving to the
left into engagement with the ring gear carrier. The piston is now in the intermediate position and leakage
pressure is passed through the sensing piston into the left side chamber. Pressure in the left side chamber can
be measured and will be approximately 2 bar (29 psi).
C. Dog 'A' Closed - Fluid pressure is applied to the piston from the right side chamber, the dog 'A' is closed and
fully engaged with the ring gear carrier. The ATF (automatic transmission fluid) pressure in the left chamber is
almost zero because the sensing piston is pushed to its limit of movement and leakage through the sensing
piston is prevented.
D. Dog 'A' Opening - Fluid pressure is applied to the piston from the left side chamber which starts the piston
moving to the right and disengaging from the ring gear carrier. The piston is now in the intermediate position
and leakage pressure is passed through the sensing piston into the right side chamber. Pressure in the right side
chamber can be measured and will be approximately 2 bar (29 psi).
17-24
Dog clutch 'F' is a sleeve with internal and external splines located between the multi-plate clutch 'E' and
planetary gear set 4 (Figures 27 and 28). The external splines are engaged to the splines within the bearing
support housing, which in turn is fixed stationary to the transmission casing. When dog 'F' is moved to the
closed position (Figure 30), the internal splines engage sun gears 3 and 4 holding it stationary in planetary gear
set 4 (Figure 31). When dog "F" is moved to the open position (Figure 29), the sun gear is released and
freewheels.
The dog 'F' has two states; open and closed. Dog 'F' employs a more simple sensing system than dog 'A'. Dog
'F' is also the piston itself and does not use a sensing piston. The piston of dog 'F' has a leakage sensing hole
which is used to detect its current position via pressure sensing.
When fluid pressure is applied to the right side of the piston, the piston is pushed to the left. During the
movement of the piston, a small amount of fluid pressure is passed through the leakage sensing hole. This
leakage pressure is measured at the left side of the piston by the pressure sensor in the sensor unit. When the
piston has moved fully to the left and reached its end position, the leakage through the leakage sensing hole is
blocked. The pressure drop on the left side of the piston is sensed and the transmission control module can
determine that dog clutch 'F' is fully engaged with sun gears 3 and 4.
If the pressure on the left side of the piston does not drop within a specified shift time, the transmission control
module can determine that the dog 'F' has stopped in an intermediate position.
The dog clutch 'F' has four possible states of operation as follows:
A. Dog 'F' Open - Fluid pressure is applied to the piston from the right side chamber and the dog clutch 'F' is
open. The fluid pressure in the left chamber is almost zero because the piston is pushed to its limit of
movement and leakage through the leakage sensing hole is prevented.
B. Dog 'F' Closing - Fluid pressure is applied from the left side chamber which starts the piston moving to the
right into engagement with the sun gears 3 and 4. The piston is now in the intermediate position and leakage
pressure is passed through the leakage sensing hole into the right side chamber. Pressure in the right side
chamber can be measured and will be approximately 2 bar (29 psi).
C. Dog 'F' Closed - Fluid pressure is applied to the piston from the left side chamber, the dog 'F' is closed and
fully engaged with the sun gears 3 and 4. The fluid pressure in the right chamber is almost zero because the
piston is pushed to its limit of movement and leakage through the leakage sensing hole is prevented.
D. Dog 'F' Opening - Fluid pressure is applied to the piston from the right side chamber which starts the piston
moving to the left and disengaging from the sun gears 3 and 4. The piston is now in the intermediate position
and leakage pressure is passed through the leakage sensing hole into the left side chamber. Pressure in the left
side chamber can be measured and will be approximately 2 bar (29 psi).
