ATRA Technical Team

Dennis Madden Chief Executive Officer

Lance Wiggins Technical Director

Creating a Great Seminar For most of you, a technical seminar is maybe half-a-dozen or so hours of intense technical information and then, as quickly as it begins, its over. But a lot of effort goes in ahead of time, researching, developing and designing a seminar, long before its ready to play your town. Long days late hours frayed nerves all part of the process to put a clean, carefully-choreographed presentation in front of a discriminating audience. The folks involved in developing this years seminar are the leaders in the transmission repair industry. With over 200 years of combined technical experience, theyve poured their heart and soul into every page and slide in this program. Whether their contribution involved technical expertise or organizational skills, the culmination of their efforts was an extraordinary educational experience that were proud to call the ATRA 2003 Technical Seminar. We hope your experience is as rewarding as it was for us to develop it.

Service 4wd Light On, Possible


DTC B2725 set
A compliant of the Service 4WD light is on in the instrument cluster or the transfer case shifts by itself. Once the DTC is set, the transfer case will not shift into 4WD. This condition may effect 1999-2003 Full size GM trucks and sport utility vehicles such as Silverado, Tahoe, Escalade, Yukon, Yukon XL, Avalanche and Suburban applications with the NV 246 transfer case (RPO NP8) and/or the 2002/2003 Trail Blazer/Envoy with the NV236 transfer case. In addition complaints of incorrect reading in the transfer case switch assembly is illuminated.

NOTE: Your scan tool must be capable of communicating with the vehicle body computer/TCCM (Transfer Case Control Module) in order for you to read the codes, as these are not PCM related DTCs.
DTC B2725 will set if: The TCCM detects low voltage (Less than 1 volt) on the transfer case range switch circuit for longer than 5 minutes. If B2725 is set the TCCM will: Inhibit 4WD Illuminate the 4WD light

All GM
B1001, B1271, B1780
1996 and later controller replacement and reprogramming is becoming an increasingly common service procedure for most shops. Several DTCs may be set when programming or replacing a controller including B1001, B1271 and B1780. All GM vehicles utilize either a Class 2 or CAN data bus. Serial Data communications constantly occur between the different controllers on your GM vehicle. The modules that are common to most applications are: PCM (Powertrain control module) BCM (Body control module) DIM (Dash integration module) IPC (Instrument panel cluster) HVAC (Heating, ventalation, A/C module) SDM (Sensing and deployment module) Airbag If a B1001 (SDM configuration error) sets, deployment of the air bags will be inhibited. If a B1271 or a B1780 (Radio theft lock) DTCs are set the radio will no longer work. These DTCs will turn on the AIRBAG lamp. In addition, the radio will display LOCKED after your repair. The most common cause of this problem happens when attempting to interchange a module from another vehicle. This can result in not only the DTCs described above setting, but also a possible no start condition. Another cause is the wrong VIN loaded into the NEW PCM or BCM. Both the PCM and the BCM require programming before they will function. REPAIR: Several steps should be taken if these DTCs are set including: 1. Make sure the correct part number controllers were used for your application. 2. Make sure the correct VIN was loaded into the replacement controller 3. After the controller was installed, turn the key off for at least 30 seconds 4. Turn the ignition ON and check for the DTCs. If DTCs B1001 and/or B1271 and/or B1271 are set as HISTORY codes do not replace the SDM or the RADIO. Simply Clear all the stored DTCs. 5. Cycle the key off, then on and monitor the Airbag lamp in the dash. It should flash 7-9 times and then go off. NOTE: Clearing the DTCs as described above is a common part of the replacement and reprogramming procedure on all GM applications. 2003 ATRA. All Rights Reserved

4T40E/45E N-Car
Hard Shifts/ No DTCS
4T40E/45E applications may exhibit a hard shift concern that may/may not be intermittent. In some instances an IAT (intake air temperature sensor) DTC may be set. The PCS commanded/actual amperages will indicate low amperage flow through the PCS and its circuits. In addition the technician may indicate that he/ she had problems controlling the PCS amperage when using the PCS override feature on their scan tool. Several of the 4T40E/45E applications utilize the IAT sensor as part of the engine torque calculations. Torque modeling is used by the PCM to determine the line pressure calculation. The most common causes of this concern are: Broken wiring, generally the wire is damaged at the sensor connector Terminal pin tension, terminal crimp damaged A faulty IAT sensor

4T40E
Saturn Application
Possible P0731 DTC set
Saturn applications use individual DTCs to identify which gear the transaxle was in at the time a ratio error occurred. P0731 sets if a ratio error occurs in 1st gear while P0732 will set if a ratio error is present in 2nd, P0733 in 3rd and P0734 will set in 4th. If a P0731 is set along with any or all of the following DTCs, address the other DTCs first. Other DTCs which may effect diagnosis include: P0716 (Turbine speed electrical interference/noise) P0717 (No turbine signal) P0745 (Low line pressure) P0722 (No VSS signal). If only a P0731 is set, review the stored data relating to the DTC and note which shifter position the transaxle was in and the VSS values. If the DTC was set in park and the VSS data indicates a VSS reading (usually around 15-35mph) the cause of the problem is typically a poor ITCM (Internal Transmission Control Module) ground (G115 on the back of the engine).

4T40/45E N-Car
VSS Intermittent or Possible DTC P0502
Erratic speedometer operation, No/Erratic/Intermittent transmission shifts, intermittent cruise control operation. Possible DTC P0502 may be set. This problem is most common on the N-body (Grand AM, Alero) applications with the 2.2L L61 engine and J41 brakes. A common cause for this is the VSS harness being too long in the area of the right hand (passenger side) axle shaft area. The extra harness length allows the harness (circuit 400 and 401) to contact the axle shaft leading to harness chaffing and the intermittent complaint. Reposition the conduit for the wiring leg to allow clearance at the top of the engine rather than at the axle area. Secure the harness in the mounting clip.

VSS harness the right hand (passenger side) axle shaft area.

Driveability Concerns N-Car 2.2L/ 3.4L
Pontiac Grand AM/Oldsmobile Alero applications with the 2.2L or 3.4L engine and the 4T40E or 4T45E transmission may experience any of the following concerns in any combination: No start Drivability conditions (engine miss, etc.) MIL on Possible DTCs Cooling Fan inoperative ABS inoperative Any of the above concerns can be intermittent in nature A common cause for these concerns are Ground G-103 being loose or corroded. Remove the ground from the bell housing. Clean and reinstall the ground. You may want to install a star washer to assure proper ground continuity. The ground strap is located on the right upper bell housing bolt on the drivers side.

P0741 Set N-Car 3.1L (RPO LG8)
1995-2002 Chevrolet Malibu N body, may have the SES light is on and P0741 (TCC stuck off) DTC set in memory. On 1995-2001 applications this condition may not have occurred until the PCM was recalibrated for some other concern. The calibration loaded in the 2002 Malibu and any calibration updates that were done on early model Malibu applications during the 2002 model year may have a software problem. The 2002 calibration tables allowed the P0741 to falsely set. An updated 2003 calibration is now available to repair this concern. Visit the GM web site to see if your vehicle requires recalibration.

P1815 Set N-Car
Code P1815 may also be set in conjunction with other PSA DTCs such as a P1810. In may instances the PSA has already been replaced for this condition. If the P1815 is set in conjunction with other PSA DTCs the problem is probably caused by metal contamination. This can be from the manufacture or possibly from the transmission itself. If the P1815 is set with no other DTCs it may be a false code. P1815 will set if: D2, D4 or reverse range is indicated at start up The condition lasts for longer than 25 seconds P1810 will set if: The PCM detects an invalid gear range The condition lasts for longer than 60 seconds If the problem is related to contamination replace the PSA. Updated procedures are now being followed by the vendor to prevent contamination. If the P1815 is set but there are no other codes, update the PCM with the calibration designed to prevent a false P1815 from setting. Visit the GM web site to obtain the correct calibration for your application. http://calid.gm.com/vci/

4T60E
Ratio and Application Chart
The 4T60E utilizes several different final drive, drive/driven sprocket, speed sensor and torque converter combinations. Installing the wrong transmission, drive/driven sprockets, final drive, speed sensor or toque converter can result in ratio error or slip DTCs . If a ratio error or a TCC slip DTC is present, and the unit has been previously repaired or replaced, the converter, final drive ratio, speed sensor and/or drive to driven sprocket ratio could possibly be incorrect for your application. Refer to our chart to determine what transmission should be used for your application. As with other GM vehicles the engine, transmission and final drive ratio information for your specific vehicle model is located on the regular production option label (RPO). The RPO label should be used exclusively to determine which transmission fits in which vehicle body style and application

4T65E Update
2002-2003Changes
Many changes have occurred in the 4T65E pump assembly to reduce costs.These changes were implemented on June 24th 2002 on some models. These changes include: A new three-piece pump design. The new design eliminates all the selective rotors and slides available for the previous design pump. All of the rotors use a tapered, random pumping chamber design (staggered spaces in the rotor). The valve body sleeve that supported the rotor in the previous design pump has been moved to the pump body on the three-piece pump. In addition, some of the valve bodies are designed for a fully contented PSA while others are designed for de-contented PSAs. A new internal wiring harness with revised wire lengths for the PWM and PCS as well as a new connector design for the new pressure control solenoid and PSA on 2003 models.

2002-2003 Changes
The input and 3rd one way clutches were updated as of July 17th 2002 on some models. Full implementation is scheduled for February 2003. The new one way clutches are a PAWL design (commonly refered to as a diode) rather than the sprag design that has been used since the 4T65E was introduced in 1997. In addition, the new pawl design assembly requires new design input clutches. The new clutch plates utilize a wave design spline and are thicker than the previous design components. This update was done because of durability problems with the previous design components. The pawl design one way clutches are not currently serviced other than as an assembly. In other words, the pawl components are not available as individual pieces. The clutches must be changed if the pawl design one ways are installed in a previous design application. The pawl one way clutch part numbers are 24216516 for the input and 24216517 for the 3rd. The new input clutch part number is 24216502.

The crank sensors are different part numbers and are also different colors (Grey and Black plastic) If one of the crank sensors fail or if a loss of signal occurs the PCM will raise line pressure resulting in harsh shift concerns. If the Cam sensor fails, DTCs may set and drivability concerns may be present, but shift feel will remain normal. Inspect the sensor connector pin tension and the terminal crimp. If pin tension is good replace the suspect sensor. NOTE: If a crank sensor is replaced the RELEARN PROCEEDURE for the crank sensor must be performed using a scan tool. Failure to relearn the crank sensor value will result in a DTC being set and possible drivability concerns

1999-2002 4L30E/5L40E applications may set DTCs P0601 and/or P0602. These codes indicate a failure in comunication with the TCM/ECM. In most instances the transmission will have clutch damage. If these DTCs are set due to their default values. The DTCs will react as follows: P0601 will set if: The TCM check sum is incorrect (internal software check) If a P0601 is set: The TCM will flash the sport mode lamp and it will send an MIL request message to the ECM on the second consecutive trip in which a failure occurs. The ECM records the freeze frame and failure record information and turns on the MIL lamp. The TCM defaults the transmission by, raising line pressure to maximum, commanding 4th gear (4L30E), or 5th gear (5L40E) while inhibiting TCC and freezing adapts. NOTE: Even though the units default to high gear, if manual ranges are selected the unit will start in lower gears. If the customer does not manually override the default high gear start, damage to the transmission clutches may occur

Slips When Cold
The Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy and Oldsmobile Bravada utilize a new style cooling fan. The new electronic viscous clutch fan is computer controlled. A design characteristic of the viscous coupling may lead the customer to misinterpret the fan operation as a possible transmission slippage condition. Some cold start fan noise is normal, but its possible that the unit may exhibit excessive noise if the vehicle has been left sitting overnight or for extended periods of time. It is common for the viscous coupling to leak fluid from its internal reservoir into the coupling, leading to tremendous amounts of noise on a cold start, or as the vehicle is accelerated. An updated electronic clutch fan has been released to address this concern. The new part was introduced as a running change on the 2003 model year applications.

Surge/Shudder/Miss
1995-2002 Trucks with 4.3L (RPO L35 or LU3) engine may experience a rough running, or surge/shudder/miss problem. This condition may be associated with a DTC P0300. Many times this condition has been confused with a transmission related concern. The problem is often caused by moisture leaking from the A/C line onto the distributor. On several of the applications, the A/C line is routed directly over the distributor.This moisture leads to corrosion, and crossfire within the cap. Inspect for the following: White corrosion/residue on the cap wall, or on higher mileage units brown residue

Locate the AC hose above the Distributor and install a foam conduit over the hose which will allow the water to drain off the sides.

Some 1995-2000 M/L (Astro, Safari) vans may experience DTCs setting related to the transmission or possibly engine related systems. The most common DTC is P0758 (3-2 solenoid) but others may set as well. The wiring harness runs along the bell housing area and over the engine. In many instances the harness contacts the A/C accumulator which leads to a rubthrough condition. Depending on which wires have insulation damage, a DTC will likely set for that circuit.

U1241 may be stored in several of the various modules. In addition, the technician may have noted that the DTC may have not been present until after DTCs were requested or displayed . U1241 DTC is caused by a loss serial data. The loss of data is caused by your scan tool interface with some of the modules on the vehicle. When your scan tool requests DTCs from some of the modules it becomes the master module which results in other modules setting the U1241 in memory. This is a normal condition, no repairs should be attempted if the condition for setting the DTC is as described above.

P0706 Set
Vehicles with a 4L80E/85E transmission may set a code P0706 (Transmission Range Switch Performance) and may exhibit a no start condition. In many instances the P0706 is not caused by a faulty switch. On 1999 and later applications check for a possible recalibration for this condition prior to replacing the switch. Before part repairs are done check the web site http://calid.gm.com/vci/ for updated calibration to repair the false P0706.

TCC surge or chuggle when road speed is between 40-50 mph
On 1994 and later Diesel 4L80E applications, customers may complain of a surge or chuggle condition which occurs only when the TCC is applied and the vehicle is between 40 and 50 mph. If the TCC is disabled, the surge/chuggle is typically eliminated. You will also find that disconnecting the EGR on 6.5L Diesel applications (RPO L56) may also eliminate the concern. The typical cause of this concern is retarded pump timing. Checking the pump timing requires a scan tool.

To determine if the timing is correct, note the data parameter known as TDC offset using a scan tool. The value should be minus -.75 or less. A minus number on the scan tool indicates the timing is advanced while a plus (+) value indicates the timing is retarded. For proper operation, fuel economy and power, the timing TDC offset should read -1.25 to -1.50. If the timing is not correct a TDC relearn procedure should be performed after the timing has been set. . (Note: to perform a TDC relearn on a 1994-95 application you must use a scan tool. It should be noted that not all scan tools are capable of performing a TDC relearn procedure)

(Continued)
If the Timing is incorrect: Shut the engine off and loosen the pump bolts slightly. Using the proper adjustment tool move the pump slightly (.040" of movement = 1 degree of timing change). Move the pump toward the drivers side of the vehicle to advance the timing and toward the passenger side of the vehicle to retard the timing. Once the pump is moved slightly, tighten the pump bolts and perform the TDC offset learn procedure using a scan tool. To perform the TDC offset procedure on a 1994-95 application Start the engine, Press the button on the scan tool to engage the TDC offset procedure and note the value when the scan tool locks in the TDC offset value. It should read between 1.25 and 1.50. If so, no further adjustments are needed. Once the relearn is complete, check the TDC offset value displayed on the scan tool again. If the offset value is not correct, shut off the engine, loosen the pump bolts and rotate it in the desired direction. Tighten the bolts and repeat the above TDC offset learn procedure.

Note: On most 1996 applications the value displayed on the scan tool (TDC offset) will remain at 0.00 (At step 5) until the TDC learn has been completed. On most 1997 and later applications, the value displayed on the scan tool will remain at the previous value until the TDC learn has been completed. TDC offset should read between 1.25 and 1.50. Once the relearn is complete, check the TDC offset value displayed on the scan tool again. If the offset value is not correct, shut off the engine, loosen the pump bolts and rotate it in the desired direction, tighten the bolts and repeat the TDC offset learn procedure. On L56 (EGR equipped 6.5L Diesel) applications, if the timing is correct and the problem is eliminated when the EGR is disconnected, replace the EGR with part number 12530288.

Planetary gear noise in 1st and 2nd gears only
Some 4L80E transmissions may exhibit excessive planetary gear noise when operating in 1st and 2nd gears. This noise will resemble the noise developed from HD 4L80E applications which use straight-cut gears. Upon inspection, you will notice some irregular wear lines on the reaction planetary carrier pinion teeth and possibly on the sun and ring gear teeth. These wear lines run parallel to the transmission center line. The wear may look like dark lines on the gear teeth, grooves in the gear teeth or bronze lines on the gear teeth. This concern can be caused by either: A reduction in the volume of lube oil feeding the planetary. This problem is typically caused by pump cavitation, a restricted filter or damaged oil pan, or a cooler flow rate problems. Output shaft misalignment. This concern is the most common cause of the noise on 97 and later applications. Misalignment of the output shaft will cause side loading of the planetary. This problem generally leads to the technician replacing the planetaries only to have a repeat failure within 5-20 thousand miles.

Planetary gear noise in 1st and 2nd gears only
If shaft alignment is suspected on a 4wd application, inspect the 4wd adapter. We have measured brand new adapters that have had excessive offset! To inspect the transfer case adapter measure the transfer case pilot inside and outside diameter. The outside diameter specification is 4.799"-4.801" while the inside diameter specification is 4.899-4.900. If the measurements are not correct, replace the adapter. On 2wd applications a common cause of the concern is the position of the output shaft bushing. If the bushing or bore was machined off center, side loading of the shaft will occur. On 2wd applications, you will typically be able to see that the bushing is worn off center. Replace the bushing or the case as necessary.

Incorrect Pressure Switch Assembly Readings
Allison transmissions used in GM truck applications may indicate the wrong pressure switch assembly readings for 5th gear and/or reverse range. Vehicles that have had the TCM reprogrammed or vehicles built after March 2001 may have an incorrect switch sequence. Incorrect values may be displayed when monitoring the transmission operation with a scan tool when those values are compared to the listings in the shop manual. This may lead to misdiagnosis of the PSA or its circuits. Programming changes dealing with the scan tool interface can lead to the incorrect sequence for the application. The chart below lists the correct sequence for the LATER (after March 0f 2001) Allison calibrations. NOTE: Switch C/D and E are normally open while switch R is normally closed. Your scan tool may display the switch values as open/closed or as on/off. On=closed, Off=open On applications built after March 2001 or on units that have been reprogrammed, Switch C will read Open (OFF) when the transmission is in reverse while those built earlier will read Closed (ON).

Flare When Accelerating From a Stop
LCT 1000 applications may experience a condition described as a flare or neutral condition when coming to a stop or accelerating from a stop. A harsh engagement may occur as the unit reengages 1st gear. Many times, when the condition is present, input speed will be present even though the transmission is being commanded to 1st gear with TP and VSS values at 0. The most common cause for this concern is: Leakage in the C5 clutch or its circuit: If you perform a clutch test using your scanner, you will generally notice the condition when the 2-1 downshift is commanded. This will be indicated by a delay in line pressure response when the C5 Clutch is commanded to apply. Sticking valves: Most of the sticking-valve-related concerns have proven to be temperature related with this transmission. TCM calibration:An updated calibration has been released aimed at improving this condition. The updated calibration was released in March 2002. Check the GM web site to see if your vehicle has been updated with the new calibration.

Quicklearn Procedure
The Allison LCT series transmission utilizes a quick learn (Also known as Fast learn) procedure designed to shorten the amount of time that it takes for the TCM adaptive-learning strategy to adjust for variations in clutch volume and apply time. By performing the quick learn functions, the amount of time that is required for TCM adaptive learning is reduced significantly. The Quick learn function requires a compatible fully functional scan tool. Quick learn should be preformed if: The transmission was replaced/rebuilt or repaired The solenoids were replaced The TCM was replaced or recalibrated Quick learn is accomplished in 4 parts, they are: PARK MODE: With the vehicle in the park range the scan tool will repeatedly cycle the C3/C4 and C5 clutches on/off. This function will not only purge air from the system but it will also adjust for engagement time variation due to return spring load values, solenoid flow rates as well as seal/bushing leakage. DRIVE: With vehicle in drive range the scan tool will cycle the C1 clutch to adjust for engagement time variation due to return spring load values, solenoid flow rates as well as seal/bushing leakage.

Quicklearn Procedure (continued)
3RD/4TH : Following the above procedures clutch volume for the C2 clutch requires the vehicle now be driven. To properly learn the C2 clutch volume the vehicle must complete at least three 3-4 shifts at steady throttle. This procedure does not require the use of a scan tool. NOTE: If the scan tool harness becomes disconnected or if you lose communications with the TCM during the quick learn process, default actions may occur. If you were in Drive when the failure occurred, ranges other than drive may not be available. If you were in Reverse when the failure occurred, ranges other than reverse may not be available. To perform a park/reverse/drive quick learn the following conditions must be met: 1. No DTCs are stored 2. NSBU is operating correctly 3. Speed sensors are operating correctly 4. TFT is between 104-212 F (40-100c) 5. Parking brake is set 6. Transfer case is in 2wd range 7. TP values are 0% 8. A compatible scan tool is being used Now follow the instructions on the scan tool for the FAST (Quick) learn procedure. NOTE: Block the wheels during the test procedures

Accumulator Hydraulic Circuits
Fluid under pressure in the pump circuit moves to the line modulator valve, where it enters the accumulator circuit. The accumulator circuit provides variable hydraulic backpressure to the accumulators for five apply components. The variable pressure of fluid in the TV circuit is controlled by the pcm and changes the position of the line modulator valve. When TV pressure is lower, accumulator circuit pressure is lower. The results in softer shift feel provided by the accumulators during shifts when engine input torque is lower. When TV pressure is higher, accumulator circuit pressure is higher. This results in firmer shift feel provided by the accumulators during shifts when engine torque is higher. Damage to the Line Modulator Valve can result in no moulation of the valve and allowing direct line oil to influence the Accumulator.

Drives Forward in Nuetral, Binds in Reverse
After rebuild, when hot car drives forward in Neutral and binds in Reverse. This problem occurs after a Forward/Direct drum has been replaced. Care needs to be taken when replacing the forward/direct clutch drum. Make sure that the piston slides into the drum bore with a top clearance (top of drum bore for outer seal) of at least .010 or more. Always feel outer seal riding surface for being smooth. If it appears that the top area of the drum where the seal rides is ballooned inward and not a true straight flat surface, do not use this drum as it will swell when hot locking the forward piston from returning to its relaxed position. This creates a mechanical bind on the piston not releasing the forward clutches

Ratio Error Codes P0732, P0733, etc.
Turbine Speed Sensor Application
Some of the most troublesome codes to deal with are ratio error codes. These codes can be caused by a number of different concerns: Poor Line Pressure Sliping Clutches Bad Solenoids Wrong Fluid Bad Input from Engine Sensor Ignition Noise or Alternator Noise entering the VSS signal Make sure you have the correct Turbine Speed sensor on the transaxle, the older sensors have a much broder range of voltage then the new sensors.

No Movement in all Gears after Rebuild
Typically caused by a damaged Pressure Regulator circuit, this problem is usually assosiated with a plant failure. During your rebuild proceedure make sure the Pressure Regulator Valve assembly is not damaged. A damaged PR Valve can create high line pressure, this can cuase no cooler flow resulting no movement.

Ratio Codes
Ratio codes can be very difficult to diagnose because of the many different components that can cause this problem. Diagnostic Trouble Codes P0781, P0782, P0783, P1731, P1732, P1733 indicate incorect ratios and no specific gear. In order for these codes to set, the problem has to happen four times consecutivly. Diagnostic Trouble Codes P0741 or P1728 are also ratio codes that can be percieved as only torque converter codes. In order for these codes to set the problem has to happen five times consecutively. Here are some of the items to look at when diagnosing Ratio Codes:

Filter
If a transmission repair is being perfromed for a contamination-related failure, always use a new filter and grommet. Many people think that simply cleaning a screen filter will work, but this is not always the case. Small particles can become logged in the screen and restrict flow, causing slips, and ratio errors.

Valve Body Wear
The valve body consists of four sections: the upper control valve body, main control valve body, premain control valve body, and the lower control valve body. The main control valve body also contains the electronic pressure control solenoid. Wear in the 1-2 shift valve can cause a ratio code simply by not stoking properly and slowing down the timing the PCM is expecting.

Speed Sensors
The vehicle speed sensor (VSS) is located above the differential on the transmission case. The VSS rotates a cable and the instrument cluster generates a DC signal and sends the signal to the PCM, in some cases the VSS generates the signal to the PCM. The TSS sensor provides converter turbine shaft speed information for torque converter clutch (TCC) control strategy. The information is also used in determining static electronic pressure control (EPC) pressure setting during shifts. The values below are approximate, the important point is that the frequency rise is linear and smooth.

Failure: All or some shifts missing, erratic shift pattern, Stall when put into gear, late/early shift speeds,no TCC, Erratic pressure rise.

A reprogram is availible for the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) to accept an ealier gearset in a late vehicle. In Ealy 2002 Ford introduced a reprogram for this interchange. If the transaxle has a part number on it that starts with an X for the year 2000 (ex:XS4P) it contains the older gear set. Transaxles with part numbers that begin with 1 for the year 2001 (ex: 1S4P) it contains a newer gear set. To identify the correct reprogram locte the tear tag on the door and match the tag number with the following chart.

Downshifts at High Speeds
This problem is usually caused by the Manual Lever Position Sensor/Transmission Range Sensor voltage rising because of a bad ground or damaged MLP sensor making the PCM believe the transmission was manually downshifted. To verify this concern monitor the MLP/TR sensor on the scanner or at the sensor signal pin. If voltage changes during the drive or when road shock is applied make sure the concetions and wiring is good , then replace the sensor.

Repeat Intermediate Diode Failure
Typically caused by flooding solenoids this problem can give you trouble if not diagnosed completely. The Diode sprag is considerably stronger then the older roller one-way clutches, however the cause is still the same. During a forced down shift from 4-2, SS1 and SS2 are commanded OFF. If the solenoids are worn or inoperative they dont exhaust properly causeing the solenoids to flood and hold the 3-4 valve in its 4th gear position (no Forward clutch fill). Because the PCM command for second gear happens the 2-3 shift valve is stroked to the 2nd gear position and the 3-4 shift valve is held up in the 4th gear position, this causes the feel of Nuetral, O/D Band applied, direct clutch applied, no intermediate, no forward. When this happens the customer or technician removes his/her foot from the accelerator the line pressure drops and the intermediate clutches catch. When this happens the Sprag is hammered and wear or breakage occurs.

Delayed Engagement
Some 2000 Dodge (NS) Caravan, Plymouth (NS) Voyager, Dodge (PL) Neon, Plymouth (PL) Neon, Dodge (P2) Neon (Export Market), Plymouth (P2) Neon (Export Market) vehicles may exhibit intermittent delayed transaxle engagement of greater than 30 seconds on an initial cold start in 1C (30F) or colder temperatures. This may be due to interference between the front pump assembly and transaxle case. Here are a few things to check before the replacement of the pump. Make sure the fluid level correct? Make sure linkage adjustment correct? Does delay occur in both Drive & Reverse? Does delay occur in 1C (30F) or colder weather? Does transaxle engage when RPM is raised? Does transaxle engage properly after the initial cold delay? If the answers to the above questions were YES, the most likely cause of the condition is due to interference between the pump housing and the transaxle case. Perform the following Repair Procedure. If the answers were NO, further diagnosis will be required to determine the cause of the condition. Parts Required Qty. Part Number 1 05016410AB 1 04269661AB Description Pump Assembly Pump Gasket

1999-up Transmission Range Sensor harness kits
A new Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) was designed for the 1999 model year transaxles. The outside diameter of the pass through connector was increased as well as the terminals being changed from a pin type to a blade type. Early model 1999 vehicles were built with 1998 style transaxles and used a jumper harness. The jumper harness converted the 1999 vehicle harness to accept the 1998 transaxle TRS connector. These vehicles can accept the 1999 transaxle by simply removing the jumper harness. When installing a 1999 transaxle into a 1998 and prior vehicle a replacement harness must be installed.

Speed Sensor faults and/or Ratio concerns
The input and output speed sensor supplier was changed for the 1998 model year 42LE and on August 8, 1998 for the 41TE. The terminal positions are slightly different between the new and old sensors. When a new speed sensor is installed on an early vehicle the terminals may spread resulting in a poor contact. Intermittent loss of speed sensor signals, ratio errors and cruise control complaints may occur. Any time a speed sensor is changed in an early vehicle the connector should also be updated.

Transmission Quality Enhancements for the 1-2, 2-3, and 4-3 Shifts
Some 2000 Dodge Dakota, Durango 1999-2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles equipped with a 45RFE transmission may experience the following shift quality issues: A harsh 2-3 upshift causing a powertrain clunk or shudder when accelerating. A harsh 1-2 upshift during light or wide open throttle conditions. A harsh 4-3 kickdown shift during low speed, light throttle conditions. The revision of the TCM software addresses the above shift quality conditions for all vehicles, and adds a final gear ratio to the Grand Cherokee transmission only.

Note: This applies to vehicles equipped with a 4.7L engine and a 45RFE automatic transmission built before August 16, 1999 (MDH 081600).

This involves selectively erasing and reprogramming the Dakota, the Durango, or the Grand Cherokee Transmission Control Module or TCM (with calibration 99Ver9.0, 00Ver8.5, or 00Ver9.0). And reprogramming the Grand Cherokee Powertrain Control Module or PCM (with calibration 99Call9A or 00Call6A).

Harsh Engagement When the TCC is Applied
Some 2000-2001 Dodge Ram Truck owners may complain that their transmission exhibits a harsh engagement. This harsh engagement will occur when the transmission is in or enters 3rd gear or overdrive (O/D). The customer may not be able to determine whether the harsh engagement is the result of a gearshift or is the result of a torque converter clutch (TCC ) engagement. Determine if the harsh engagement is the result of the transmission torque converter clutch engagement. The following steps are recommended. 1)Verify that the transmission fluid level is correct and that the transmission throttle cable is properly adjusted. 2)Drive the vehicle at a constant speed between 28 to 31 KM/H (45 to 50 MPH). 3)Make sure that the transmission is in O/D and the TCC is locked-up. If necessary, the DRB III may be used to create a custom monitor to display the needed transmission states. 4)While maintaining a constant speed, lift your foot off of the accelerator pedal and then reapply the accelerator pedal, but with a deeper (wider) throttle position while still maintaining O/D. The transmission should not be allowed to shift out of O/D during this maneuver, but the maneuver should cause the TCC to temporarily disengage.

Note: This applies to vehicles equipped with an 8.0L gasoline engine and a 47RE automatic transmission built between September 15, 1999 and August 14, 2000 (MDH 091500 to 081400).

5.9L Diesel
Erratic Torque Converter Clutch
Some 1998-99 Dodge (BR/BE) Ram Trucks may experience a surge like condition while in 4th gear. This may be caused by the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) unlocking and locking when it should be consistently locked. The cause of this erratic operation has been identified as electrical noise from the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) or Alternator. Drive the vehicle with a helper monitoring the PCM. Warm the engine and verify the transmission fluid temperature is greater than 32F and consistent. Operate the vehicle with an output shaft speed greater than 2200 rpm. Verify that the brake switch shows a released status that is consistent and verify the park/ neutral status reads D/R and is consistent. While keeping the output shaft speed above 2200 rpm, hold the throttle so the TPS reads 1 volt. Monitor the TC clutch status, it should be consistently locked. If the TC clutch status shows unlocking / locking, look to see if the TPS volts are fluctuating by 0.2 volts or more. If the conditions are met, perform the REPAIR PROCEDURE. If a surge like condition is felt but the above test does not confirm the TCC unlocking/locking occurrence, further diagnosis and testing will be required. This involves selectively erasing and reprogramming the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with new software (calibration changes 98call2 & 99call4).

Note: This information applies to vehicles equipped with a 5.9L 24 valve diesel engine and automatic transmission built between January 1, 1998 and December 18, 1998 (MDH 010198 & 121898).

Delayed Upshift/No TCC Engagement 30-50 MPH
Some 1999-2000 Dodge (BR/BE) Ram Trucks may experience a condition where the transmission may seem to have a delayed 3-4 upshift, while moderately accelerating from 30-50 MPH (48 to 80 KM/H). The customer may also note high engine rpms while operating in 3rd or 4th gear. This condition may be caused by a delay in the engagement of the transmission torque converter clutch (torque converter lockup). This involves the replacement of the transmission valve body upper housing separator plate.

Note: This applies to vehicles equipped with a federal market (NAA) 5.9L 24V diesel engine and built between March 2, 1999 (MDH 030299) and October 1, 1999 (MDH 100199).

Buzz, Whining, or Moaning
Some vehicles may exhibit an intermittent noise from the transmission when reverse gear is selected. This noise has been described as a buzz, whining, or moaning like noise. The noise is most noticeable when transmission fluid temperature is below 38 C (100 F). This condition is caused by a resonance of the transmission regulator valve system. Other items that can cause this are: Air in valve system or out of the internal parts. Possible cracked pump housing, a torn pump gasket, an under filled transmission, restricted filter or cooler flow, or an out of specification valve and or valve body.

Proper Regulator Valve adjustments
All Chrysler/Dodge units that have a T.V. controlled line rise will have the same adjustments for both the T.V. valve circuit as well as the Pressure Regulator valve pre-adjustment. Pressure Regulator Valve: From the face of the valve body to the bottom of the adjustor plate for the regulator spring the measurement is 1 5/19". Note: The 1 5/16 setting is an approximate setting. Manufacturing tolerances may make it necessary to vary from this dimension to obtain desired pressure. By adjusting the screw one complete turn will change the line pressure approximately 1 2/3 psi. Counterclockwise will raise pressure clockwise will lower pressure.

Pressure Regulator Valve and T.V. Valve adjustments Tool
Parts required: 1: Shouldered bolt (Minimum 1" shoulder 3/8 bolt) 1: Roll Pin (Minimum 3" long 1/8 wide) Procedure: Cut the head and thread section off of the bolt leaving just the shoulder section to work with. Out of the round stock that you now have in your hands, you need to make the overall length .627 long! Carefully do this at the grinding wheel keeping a cup of water handy so you do not burn your fingers. This is the same measurement of the Miller tool C3763 used for the Throttle valve adjustment. Drill through the side of the round slug with a 1/8 drill and install roll pin with a length of at least 3" into gauge slug. Measure up from the bottom of the roll pin 1-5/16" and file or cut into the roll pin a notch for measuring the Pressure Regulator spring height. Now you have a tool that does both jobs so no need hunting down 2 separate tools!

Throttle Valve Cable Adjustment
When adjusting the Throttle Cable on any Chrysler/Dodge with the 42 series through 47 series RE and RH transmissions, the procedure is the same. The cable must be adjusted to the minimum side of the adjustment. The throttle lever on the transmission and the throttle plate at engine must move simultaneously. Adjustment is made at throttle body. Unsnap the cable from the throttle body. The cable end and the centering ball on the throttle body must line up together. If not, release cable snap-lock and adjust to achieve this measurement.

Note: Be sure that as the cable is pulled forward and centered on the throttle lever stud. Due to the angle at which the cable housing enters the spring housing, the cable housing may bind slightly and create an incorrect adjustment

A common cause for this complaint is a broken CPC valve spring. These springs are availible through the aftermarket. The spring pressure is calibrated by an adjustable spring seat. Record the location and number of turns while removing the spring seat. Before disassembly it will be necessary to count the number of turns on the spring seat plug to ensure the correct pressure.

NOTE: Before disassembly turn the CPC spring seat in counting the turns in until it bottoms out. Simply reverse the order during reassembly.

The START clutch couples the driven pulley to the secondary gear shaft of the final drive gear. The START clutch is released when the vehicle is stopped. As soon as acceleration is needed the START clutch applies. Torque from the driven pulley is transferred to the final drive gear via the secondary gear shaft.

CVT Information
In the forward range, the correct gear ratio for the vehicle is achieved by the drive and driven pulleys. Pressure to control the width of both pulleys comes from the Pressure High-Pressure Low (PH-PL) valve. This valve responds to control signal oil from the Shift Control Linear Solenoid. The PH-PL valve maintains the correct pressure between both drive and driven pulleys. This is important to keep the belt in contact with both pulleys. At low speeds the drive pulley narrows and the belt rides high. At high speeds the drive pulley widens and the belt rides lower. Remember, the PH-PL valve is also making the driven pulley width change, but opposite of the drive pulley. When pressure in both drive and driven pulleys are equal, the belt will ride in the middle of both pulleys and the ratio will be about 1:1.

Retrieving Codes
Since the transmission starts out in a high ratio, the start clutch generates a lot of heat while taking off from a stop. Its very important to correct and clear computer problems as the start clutch will fail under prolonged failsafe operation. These units have been known to have erratic solenoid and valve body problems, even when no codes are present. To confirm that the unit works in failsafe, unplug the wiring. If the unit starts out in the high range in forward and reverse, suspect a solenoid or computer related problem. If the unit still operates erratically, suspect internal pressure, valve body or clutch problems.

3. Start the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on twice.) 4. Fully depress the brake pedal and accelerator for 20 seconds with the gear selector in the D position (full power stall). 5. Shift into N or P. To store the engine negative pressure in memory, let the engine idle in N or P for one minute under the following condi tions: With the brake pedal depressed. With the A/C switch off. With the combination light switch off. With the heater fan switch off. Turn OFF all other electrical accessories. 6. Shift into D position and let the engine idle for two minutes to store the feedback signal in memory under the same conditions as in step 5. 7. Connect a scantool and verify the TCM has completed the start clutch calibration. NOTE: The TCM will not store the feedback signal when the CVT fluid temperature is below 104 F (40C) even if the engine coolant temperature reaches normal operating temperature. Repeat these procedures until the start clutch calibration is shown to be completed in scan tool data. 8. Disconnect the jumper from the Service Check Connector. Procedure for 1997 - 2000 Vehicles: The TCM (97-98 vehicles) and PCM (99 and newer) memorize the feed back signal when you drive the vehicle as follows: After warming up the engine (the radiator fan comes on). Shift into D position. Turn off all electrical accessories. Drive the vehicle up to 37 m.p.h. (60 km/h). After speed reaches 37 mph (60 km/h), release the accelerator for 5 seconds. 2003 ATRA.

Overheating Problems, Foaming Concerns
Most overheating problems with 1999-2001 model Motero Sports are caused by improper fluid levels. The early dipstick level-full area is difficult to read, because of this, a new dipstick and pan were introduced to lower the level in the pan.

Part# MR593383...Pan, Filter, Dipstick Part# MR951878...Dipstick O-Ring

NOTE: All of the 1999 models flash the N indicator light 2 times per second to

indicate overheating conditions. The 2000-2001 two wheel drive models also use the N indicator. The 2000-2002 four wheel drive models have a seperate ATF temperature light.

Code Retieval
Codes maybe obtained with a scan tool through the Data Link Connector located behind a cover at the lower dash panel. Codes can also be obtained manually by using the AT Oil Temp Light. Manual code method can only retrieve some of the codes. Normally the AT Oil Temperature light should stay lit for 2 seconds then go out, after the ignition is switched on. If a malfunction is present, the AT Oil Temp. Light keeps blinking for 8 seconds. When you complete the following steps, the AT Oil Temperature light will display long and short flashes. The Long flashes will equal the number 10, the short flashes will equal the number 1. STEP 1. STEP 2. STEP 3. STEP 4. If light keeps blinking, test drive vehicle above 12 MPH then stop. Turn ignition off, then switch ignition on. Place gear selector in 1st. Turn ignition off and then back on. Move gear selector in sequence of 2-1-2-3-D. The AT Oil Temperature light should now blink codes.

To clear codes, remove No. 4 fuse located in main fuse box behind hood release.

Cracked Input Drum
A common failure on these units is a cracked input drum. This part is not serviced separately. Besides buying a complete unit from Volvo, the only option has been to buy a good used one. The Difference between the Daewoo drum and the Volvo drum is in the weld area. The weld area for the new drum from Daewoo has a stepped area for durability.

Cracked Input Drum
The Daewoo Leganza also uses a similar FWD AW transmission. Internal transmission parts for the Leganza are available. The Daewoo part number for the input drum is 3570150A021. The discount price from a local dealer is about $350.00. This part has the identical dimensions as the Volvo part with the addition of a widened support flange where the shaft is welded to the drum. The other option is to buy the matching forward piston (part no. 3560250A010) and direct piston (part No. 3560650A011) from Daewoo for about $130.00 for both parts.

In order to use this input drum, the forward piston has to be relief cut .065". This relief allows for the additional support flange of the input drum. We cut a forward piston and found over .090" of material still left in the piston wall.

Make sure these areas are cut to .065 this will allow you to use the old piston assembly with the new drum. 2.825Diameter 0.065 Depth

This maybe caused by worn seal rings in the rear cover. These rings control the oil to the C1 and C2 clutches. The C1 clutch is one of the forward elements. The C2 clutch is one of the reverse elements. Both these clutches are enclosed in the input shaft and drum. To check the C1 and C2 clutches, attach two pressure gauges to the transmission as shown. Move gear selector to D. The C1 clutch pressure should be 57 psi and the C2 clutch pressure stay at zero. Move gear selector to N. Wait three seconds and check the pressures again.

Wait three seconds and check the pressures again. If the clutch pressures do not work right, the seal rings or ring support are worn. A new rear transmission cover with a steel ring support is available from Volvo. The kit part No. is 9463445 and cost about $180.00. This kit includes a rear cover, three Teflon rings, an O-ring, a steel washer, four seals and eight mounting bolts. The rear cover can be replaced with the transmission on the car.

In 1993, VW vehicles used an 096 Phase 2 transaxle. As early as 1994, the O1M transaxle was installed. This transaxle used a different shift strategy and TCC was PWM controlled. The Identification tags can be found on the side of the transaxle or underneath the filter. The chart below will help you identify the gear ratio of the unit youre working on.

Servicing
There is no dipstick on the Phase 2 096 and 01M transaxles. A standpipe is located in the oil pan. The oil level is correct when the level of oil in the pan is even with the top of the standpipe. If the oil is too high, the excess oil will spill out when the inspection plug is removed. The following steps must be followed for the level to be correct. Step 1) Make sure the vehicle is level. Step 2) Start the engine and warm it up to about 85-95 degrees F. Step 3) Run the gear selector through all ranges ending in Park. Step 4) Remove the inspection plug. Step 5a) Allow excess oil to run out and replace inspection plug. Step 5b) If needed, remove RED fill cap and add oil. Order the replacement RED cap under VW 014 301 485 (cost $2.00) Or in a service kit 01M 398 998 The service capacity is about 3 qts (an overhaul takes about 6 qts.)

Pressure Response Charts


These charts display the change in line pressure in response to TPS and vehicle speed. Note the drop in pressure during the shift. The pressure can drop down as low as 60-75 lbs. and then return to line pressure. This is normal. During engagements and each shift, the number 5 solenoid is cycled. This solenoid hydraulically operates three orifice control valves. There is one valve for each of the following clutches: B2, K1 and K2. Each valve bleeds clutch apply oil back to the pan. All three orifice control valves operate during all forward shifts. In Reverse, the number 5 solenoid works to cushion the B1 clutch and the K2 orifice control valve cushions the K2 clutch.

This unit can be a money maker. The owners like driving their VWs, and these cars hold their resale value. The dealers charge $4,000-5,000 for an exchange unit plus any computer and/or electrical repairs the car may need. In some areas, the closest dealer maybe 100+ miles away. The truth is, this unit is very easy to build. Service parts, information and scan tools are now readily available. The aftermarket has or will soon release replacement parts for the valve body. Most of the units dont require any more than a master kit, filter, a couple of solenoids, a new wire harness, converter and dont forget $100.00 in VW ATF (if its an 01M). This still leaves at least a $3,000 margin. The most common hard part damage seems to be the K3 clutch, the pump and occasionally the planets. The only red herring left is the valve body. If its worn out or cant be fixed, the only options would be to spend $500.00 at the dealer or get a guarranted valve body from a supplier.

NOTE: Replace all moulded pistons during overhaul.

Scanning for Codes and Data
In order to scan the TCU, you must have a VAG1551/2 or VAG compatible scanner. VAG stands for Volkswagen Audi Group. Depending on your current shop equipment, you can get one from Ross-Tech for $250.00. Their software is downloaded into your PC or laptop. AST, BAUM and others, offer similar software or stand alone scanners from $650.00-2,500.00. Or you could take the car to a dealer (if they are local) to get codes and scan data. Why buy a specialized scanner? My current scanner can access the TCU under Generic. Using your current scanner under Generic mode will clear codes and retrieve select codes. A VAG type scanner will retrieve all codes, display the data stream and reset the TCU base values. These cars are known to have lots of connector and wiring problems. With a scanner, you can pinpoint the problem. Also, when the battery is disconnected, these cars may stay in limp until the TCU is reset or all codes are cleared.

If a momentary bind occurs, the K1 clutch may not be exhausting fast enough. Make sure solenoid #1 and solenoid #7 are not plugged. Check the K1 shift valve, 3-4 shift control and K1 orifice control valves can stroke freely in their bores . If a flare occurs, the B2 or K3 clutch circuits are coming on too slow. If 2nd gear works good, check solenoid #3 and make sure its not plugged. Make sure the K3 shift valve strokes freely in its bore. If the K3 shift valve stokes freely and you still have this problem try installing a lighter shift valve spring. If 2nd gear is also soft, install a 20-30% stronger B2 orifice control spring.

Glossary of Electrical Terms


Ammeter Electrical test device that measures current flow in a circuit. Displays measurement in amperes, or amps. Amperage Measurement of current flow in a circuit. Amperes; Amps Unit of measurement for reading current flow. Amperage is actually a reading of how many electrons are moving through a circuit at any given moment. One amp is the amount of current that one volt will push through one ohm of resistance. Analog Meter Measurement device that provides readings using a needle, instead of a digital output. Analog meters measure constantly, so the reading you see is the value taking place right now. But analog meters tend to be less accurate than digital meters, and the reading only updates as quickly as the needle can move. B+ Battery power. Closed Circuit A complete electrical path that provides the means for electricity to perform work. A closed circuit allows current to flow from its source, through the resistances, and back to its source. Computer Also controller; microprocessor. Device that provides the commands necessary to operate the engine or transmission, based on inputs from a series of sensors and switches. Controller See Computer. Conventional Electrical Theory Electrical circuit model which indicates that electrical flow is from positive to negative. More recent studies show that electrons actually flow from negative to positive, but most texts still prefer to use the conventional model. Current Electron flow through a circuit, current is measured in amps. De-energize To turn off, or shut down a circuit or component. Digital On/off signal. A series of pulses that are either on or off, which provide information by varying frequency, or which control a circuit by varying frequency, duty cycle or on-time. Digital Multimeter Also DMM; DVOM; Digital Volt-Ohmmeter. Electrical device that provides measurements of electrical circuits, using a digital display. Digital meters and oscilloscopes read a circuit through sampling; how accurate your measurement is depends on how many samples the meter takes per second. Digital Volt-Ohmmeter See Digital Multimeter. Distributorless Ignition System Also Electronic Ignition. A type of ignition that doesnt use a distributor to provide spark to the cylinders. These systems usually provide spark through a process known as wastespark; a process which provides spark to two cylinders at once. One cylinder fires; the other receives spark on its exhaust stroke that cylinders spark is wasted. Ford uses this term to identify one of its electronic ignition system. Diode An electrical one-way shutoff valve. A diode is a semiconductor, designed to allow current flow in one direction, but not in the other direction. These devices are commonly used to control the spark that develops when an electromagnetic coil de-energizes, and the magnetic field collapses. Duty Cycle A signal that varies its relationship between on-time and off-time. Duty cycle signals usually control a computer output device, such as an electronic pressure control solenoid: The longer the signal on-time, the longer the solenoid remains open, so the lower mainline pressure becomes.

Glossary of Electrical Terms (cont)


Electrostatic Discharge Electrical potential that releases suddenly; the shock you feel when you touch a doorknob on a dry day is electrostatic discharge. That shock can damage or destroy electronic components. Thats why its important to take precautions wear a static strap, never touch the terminals, etc. when working with electronic devices. Energize To turn on a circuit or component; provide with power and ground, to enable an electrical device to operate. Engine Control Module Also ECM. SAE J-1930 term for a device that controls only engine operation. See also PCM, TCM, Computer. Frequency The number of complete oscillations, or cycles, that occur each second. Measured in Hertz. Ground The return side of an electrical circuit, as defined by the conventional electrical theory. More recent studies show that electrons actually flow in the opposite direction of that shown by conventional theory, but its still the most common model for electrical circuits. Grounded Circuit An electrical circuit failure that keeps the circuit energized all the time, regardless of switch or relay position. Also known as a short-to-ground. Hertz Also Hz. Unit of measurement for frequency; the number of complete cycles that take place in one second. A signal that repeats itself 20 times every second has a frequency of 20 Hertz. High Impedance Having high resistance to electrical flow. Usually used to describe electrical meters. When used to test an electronic circuit, a low impedance meter would affect the characteristics of the circuit. The higher the meters impedance, the less effect it will have on the circuit, so the less change it will make to the circuit operation when connected. Intermittent Taking place in an irregular or unpredictable cycle. An intermittent problem or failure may happen one moment, then not be there the next. Thats why intermittent failures are often difficult to isolate. Light-Emitting Diode Also LED. A semiconductor that lights when energized, much like a light bulb. But, unlike a light bulb, an LED requires very little current, and that current flow must be in a specific direction, or the LED wont light. Microprocessor See Computer. Ohm Unit of resistance measurement. It takes one volt to push one amp of current through one ohm resistance. Ohmmeter Electrical device for measuring resistance in a circuit or component. Ohms Law Principle that defines the relationship between pressure (voltage), flow (amperage) and resistance (ohms). Ohms x Amps = Volts; Volts Ohms = Amps; Volts Amps = Ohms. Open Circuit An incomplete electrical path that wont provide the means for electricity to perform work. An open circuit prevents current flow, so the circuit wont operate. Oscilloscope An electrical test device that maps voltage changes in a circuit over a specific amount of time. An oscilloscope displays the voltage signal as a picture, to show how voltage changes through the components operating cycle. Parallel Circuit An electrical circuit designed with multiple paths through the circuit, so that not all of the current must pass through all of the loads in the circuit. If one leg of a parallel circuit opens, it wont prevent the other legs Continued

Glossary of Electrical Terms (cont)


from operating. Potentiometer A three-wire sensor that modifies a voltage signal based on movement or position. Potentiometers receive a regulated voltage signal to one end of a resistor, and ground to the other; a wiper slides along the resistor, and picks up the voltage signal, based on its position along the resistor. Powertrain Control Module Also PCM. SAE J1930 term for a computer that controls engine and transmission operation. A PCM may also control other systems, including cruise control, A/C system, antilock brakes, etc., but it must control engine and transmission to be called a PCM. See also ECM, TCM. Pulse Generator An AC generator that develops a frequency signal that varies with the rotational speed of an internal transmission component, such as a sun shell, turbine shaft or output ring gear. The computer uses this signal to measure the components RPM. From this, the computer can determine when to shift, when a shift is complete, or if a clutch is slipping. Pulse Width Modulated Also PWM. A signal that varies its relationship between on-time and off-time. Pulse width modulated signals usually control a computer output device, such as an electronic pressure control solenoid: The longer the signal on-time, the longer the solenoid remains open, so the lower mainline pressure becomes. See Duty Cycle. Relay An electrical device that allows a low current circuit to control a high current circuit. Energizing a relay energizes an electromagnet, which opens or closes a set of contacts, to provide power or ground to a circuit that would normally require too much current for the device controlling the circuit. Resistance The ability of a circuit or device to reduce or limit current flow. Resistor A device that limits or reduces current flow in a circuit. Sensor A device that provides signals to the computer, based on engine or transmission operating conditions. The computer uses these signals to control engine operation more precisely. Serial Data A digital signal from the computer, to communication information with other computers or scan tools. Scan tools can provide the actual sensor readings the computer sees, and outputs from the computer, by interpreting serial data signals. Series Circuit An electrical circuit in which all of the loads are wired end to end, in such a way that forces all of the current passing through the circuit to travel through all of the loads. If one load in a series circuit opens, it will prevent the other loads from operating. Short Circuit An electrical circuit without the resistance necessary to operate properly. Because of this lost resistance, these circuits will often burn up, unless protected by a fuse or circuit breaker. Not to be confused with a grounded circuit. Shrink Tubing An insulating material that shrinks to seal a connection when you apply heat. Solenoid An electrical device that turns electrical signals into movement or work. Solenoids can control lever movement, such as throttle kickers, or can control vacuum or hydraulic flow. The solenoids youll most likely be dealing with open and close to control hydraulic flow, to allow the transmission to shift gears, control lockup, and control line pressure. Continued

Thermistor A semiconductor that varies resistance based on temperature. There are two types of thermistor: negative temperature coefficient (NTC) and positive temperature coefficient (PTC). The NTC thermistor is more common as the temperature goes up, its resistance goes down. Transistor A semiconductor that operates as an electronic relay. Transistors allow a low current circuit to control power or ground to a high current circuit. Variable Resistor A one- or two-wire sensor that modifies a voltage signal based on stress or temperature. Thermistors are the most common type of variable resistor in todays cars and trucks. Voltage The pressure in an electrical system, that pushes current through the circuit. One volt of pressure is necessary to push one amp of current through one ohm of resistance. Sometimes called the circuits potential. Voltmeter Electrical test device that measures the voltage potential in a circuit. Displays its reading in volts.
