2005 TECHNICAL SEMINAR

Dennis Madden
Chief Executive Officer
Welcome to the 2005 ATRA Technical Seminar!
This year marks another milestone in the evolution of the ATRA technical seminar.
Because again the ATRA seminar manual has been developed and printed in full color!
Having worked on several seminar manuals myself I know what it takes to produce a
seminar. Lance Wiggins and the ATRA Technical staff have really pulled out all the
stops again; another sign of the new things coming out of the New ATRA.
This seminar, along with everything else at ATRA is a group effort, with a lot of effort in
the background that nobody ever sees. I could not be more delighted with the staff here
at ATRA.
ATRA is changing all the time: with the new items like the 3-year Golden Rule warranty, to give your customer that added peace of mind; point-of-sale items to make your
shop look even more professional; Nation-wide advertising and referral services, getting
more consumers into ATRA Members shops. These are just a few of the changes youve
seen in the past year, and its only the beginning.
On behalf of the ATRA staff, and the ATRA Chapters that work so hard to bring you this
seminar, welcome.
Sincerely,

Dennis Madden,
ATRA, CEO

2005 TECHNICAL SEMINAR

Lance Wiggins
Technical Director
ATRA is proud to be celebrating another year serving the automatic transmission repair
industry. A lot of changes have taken place over the last year and its because of those
changes that technical training has become an integral part of todays transmission
repair industry. Its just not possible anymore to get by with a measure of common
sense and a decent technical aptitude. To remain profitable, todays technicians need
up-to-date training on an ongoing basis.
To that end, ATRA is pleased to present its 2005 Technical Seminar. Packed with countless hours of research and development, writing, editing, photography and layout, this
years seminar will stand out as one of the most demanding and useful technical training programs ever developed for this industry.
Once again, this years technical manual has been produced in full color. With over 300
pages of up-to-the-minute technical information, the 2005 Technical Seminar Manual
will remain a valuable resource long after the seminar is just a memory.
Were confident that youll find this years seminar presentation and technical manual
both informative and profitable. In fact, were so sure youll be satisfied with what you
learn in this program, we guarantee it!
So, on behalf of the entire ATRA staff, the international board of directors, and all of the
ATRA members worldwide, wed like to thank you for helping to make our over 50 years
memorable.

The Aftermarket Business


Of Freudenberg-NOK

Highest Quality Components in TransTec Overhaul Kits


Gaskets:

Sealing Rings:

Paper gaskets included in TransTec


kits are manufactured by our
Freudenberg-NOK Necedah plant (formerly known as Farnam). This QScertified plant also supplies virtually all domestic OEMs with many of
their paper gasket requirements used in automotive transmission and
engine applications. Look for the TransTec name on these paper gaskets.
Its your assurance of quality.
For applications using bonded valve body plates,
we supply bonded gaskets with metal cores. You
get the same OE-quality gaskets in TransTec
overhaul kits that we supply to OEMs.
The manufacturing process used for our silicone beaded gaskets utilizes leading-edge
technology to provide superior sealing.
Pan gaskets made of cork and rubber are high quality and manufactured by OE suppliers. Duraprene fibrous material pan gaskets are also
offered as an alternative for installer preference. Our molded rubber pan
gaskets are formed around a plastic core for more stability; a proprietary
process which Freudenberg-NOK developed for its current OEM
customers. These gaskets feature torque-limiting inserts to help avoid
over-torquing.

TransTec kits use Freudenberg-NOK


manufactured PTFE (Teflon) rings.
The QS-certified manufacturing plant
is a pioneer in PTFE machined ring design. A machined ring
involves a more exacting manufacturing process that results in
components that seal better. With over 28 different compounds to
choose from, complex formulas are used to ensure superior sealing
in a broad range of sealing applications. In addition, TransTec is the
aftermarket leader using state-of-the-art materials including
Vespel, PEEKTM and other synthetics. For applications requiring
metal, we use only OEM-quality rings.

Metal Clad Seals:


Globally, Freudenberg-NOK manufactures more precision-molded radial
shaft seals than all other manufacturers combined. TransTec alone
has sold over 3 million NOK seals for domestic applications since
they were first introduced in 1999. NOK brand oil seals are used
exclusively in TransTec kits no other transmission kits have them.

Bonded Pistons:
Bonded pistons are manufactured
using a very precise molding process to create smooth, exacting
rubber sealing surfaces bonded to metal pistons. Freudenberg was
a pioneer in molding bonded pistons for European applications.
NOK is the dominant supplier for Asian applications, and
Freudenberg-NOK is an OE supplier of these domestically. The
sealing surface of these pistons performs the same function as
previous separate-seal designs, so bonded pistons should always
be replaced during a rebuild.

Lip Seals:
The majority of lip seals contained
in TransTec kits are manufactured by Freudenberg-NOK plants and
exclusive to our kits. We have supplied lip seals via the IPC group
to automotive manufacturers for over 40 years. TransTec kits for
import applications contain original NOK lip seals, a claim no other
kit maker can make.

Teflon and Vespel are registered trademarks of E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company. TransTec,
Corteco and Duraprene are registered trademarks of Freudenberg-NOK. PEEKTM is a trademark of Victrex PLC.

O-rings &
D-rings:
The Freudenberg and NOK group
companies manufacture O-rings and Drings for automotive applications on a
worldwide basis, an advantage we use to incorporate the OEM design,
materials and resources of these seals into our kits.

Its Whats Inside That Counts!


Were so confident in our world-class
seals that we mold our initials into them.
Look for these RMA (Rubber Manufacturers Association) codes on our seals.

Displacement On Demand
(DOD)
A new engine control system was introduced for the 2005 model year that is
responsible for fuel economy gains of around 8%. Known as DOD (displacement
on demand), the upgraded control system is available on the new generation IV
small block 5.3L application. The new engine is available in T-truck applications
such as the Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT, GMC Envoy XL, and Envoy XUV. The
engine is also available in the Buick Rainer for the 2005 model year but the DOD
system has been disabled. The Gen IV 5.3L engine with DOD hardware is sold
under RPO code LH6 and it will carry a VIN M engine designation. Several features have been added to allow DOD operation such as:

A new engine block, with relocated knock sensors, cam sensor and engine
oiling system

An addition of a VOLM (Valve Lifter Oil Manifold) which contains a series of


4 ground side controlled On/OFF normally closed solenoids. The VOLM is
located under the intake manifold

Updated DOD valve lifters on cylinders 1,4,6 and 7. The updated lifters are
used for both the intake and exhaust valves for the effected cylinders.

An updated camshaft

Updated E40 PCM and a stand alone TCM

A brake booster vacuum sensor was added to prevent DOD operation if


vacuum is too low

Updated TCM and PCM calibrations to enable and enhance DOD operation

New DTCs for the DOD solenoids


DOD Operation:
DOD operation is designed to improve fuel economy by disabling up to 4 cylinders during constant highway speed driving. To enable DOD operation the following must occur:
x Transmission in 3rd or 4th gear
x Engine oil pressure between 25 and 75 PSI
x Steady throttle and load
x Engine speed 900-3000 RPM
x Engine oil temperature 68-302F (20-150C)
x System voltage 11-18 volts

DOD has been active for 10 minutes (It will be disabled for 1 minute)

The firing order of the LH6 engine is 18726543. The DOD system can disable
every other cylinder in the firing order, 1-7-6-4. During operation, the PCM will
ground the DOD solenoids. This action will allow hydraulic pressure into the
special DOD lifter disabling the hydraulic lifter operation. The valves and
pushrods will maintain contact with the lifters but the valves will not open. In
addition the PCM will shut off the fuel injectors for those cylinders. The ignition
system will remain active to keep the spark plugs conductive and prevent fouling
once the DOD system is disabled. The DOD system can operate up to 10 minutes
at a time. The system will then be disabled for 1 minute and then reactivated as
long as the enable criteria are met. Since there is no indicator lamp telling the
customer DOD is active, DOD operation should be transparent.

Several different areas may cause the above condition, they include:

Code C0550, if this code is present the Transfer Case Control Module will
need to be replaced

Chafed TCCM wiring harness at the park brake cable release spring area

Pin tension, connector crimp concerns at the encoder motor ( pins A, B, C,

Connector C2 pins A8, Connector C3 pins A, B, C, D Connector C151 Pins
A, F, G, E, Connector C154 pins A, B and C and the under hood relay
center.

TCCM (G110), Engine (G103) (G104 and G107 on the back of the engine,
it is common for these to be loose) and Body grounds. Check ground G201
(part of splice pack SP201) and ground G102.

If the condition has persisted for any length of time always check the front
axle wiring as well as the condition of the shift sleeve teeth in the front axle
assembly.

If DTC C0327 sets only when a shift to 4HI is commanded inspect the fluid
for contamination. If the fluid has metal in it remove the T-Case,
disassemble and inspect the unit for damage
If none of the above items seem to be addressing the problem the cause is likely
an encoder sensor. Prior to removing the encoder motor assembly, make sure the
transfer case is in Neutral (NV246) or 2WD HI (NV263). If the unit will not shift,
remove the transfer case fuse (generally marked TREC 30 Amp) located in the
under hood fuse block (UBEC). After reinstalling the fuse, the T-case will generally shift allowing you to attain the desired position. If the unit is a 2003 or later,
update the TCCM software prior to returning it to the customer.

NV246/NV263
Transfer Case Fluid Leak
One of the most common concerns regarding the New Venture NV246 and
NV263 applications is fluid leakage. In many cases the customer fails to notice
the fluid leakage until the unit has been run low on fluid, and is extensively
damaged.
Two basic concerns may cause the customer complaint, they are:

The clip that holds the oil pump in the case is missing or broken. If the clip
is missing or broken, the flanges of the pump will rub on the slots in the
case until a hole has opened up in the case allowing the leak to occur.
Many times you will find parts of the clip stuck to the magnet.
Inspect the case closely where the oil pump flanges ride, if a hole is present
replace the case half. The clip can now be purchased as part number
12470059.

Rear case porosity is the other main issue. If porosity is found, replace the
case half.

1.
2.
3.

Transfer case appears to loose fluid but no external leaks are present
A/C operation has declined over time
Fluid is found when you remove some vacuum lines

Fluid from the transfer case may be entering the vehicles vacuum system through
the transfer case switch. This will lead to HVAC mode switch failure (RPO C60 A/
C system), which may cause the customer to believe that the A/C system is
faulty. In most cases when the HVAC mode switch finally fails the HVAC system
may stick in one mode. This means the customer will not be able to change
modes as they change control settings on the HVAC control panel (HVAC mode
switch)
Clean or replace all of the effected vacuum lines. Replace the HVAC control head
and install the updated transfer case vacuum switch. The updated switch was
released for production and service as of 8-4-04 under part #89059420

PRNDL Flashes or Goes Blank
There are several items that will cause the PRNDL to flash, with some indicating a
problem is present while others indicate that no problems are present. The TCM
has inhibited a transmission function because the customer may have commanded the transmission to do something that could lead to damage.

Flashing PRNDL indicates a problem present:


1.
PRNDL (park/neutral) switch or its circuits may be faulty
2.
Trim A/B solenoid or their circuits faulty
3.
Input/Output speed sensor or their circuits faulty
4.
Lack of line pressure at start up (possible low fluid level)
5.

Flashing PRNDL normal condition customer generated:
1.
High engine RPM garage shift engagements into a forward range or reverse
(TCM will also command the transmission to neutral)
2.
Reverse to drive or drive to reverse gear change (like a parking lot
maneuver) with the throttle at greater than 25% (TCM will also command
the transmission to neutral)
3.
Transfer case was shifted to Neutral while the transmission was in drive or
reverse. The TCM will keep the transmission engaged until the vehicle
comes to a stop. Once stopped the TCM will command neutral. If the driver
moves the shift lever in/out of drive or reverse at this point the PRNDL will
flash.
4.
Output RPM is greater than 300. If the customer moves the shift lever
from a forward range to reverse or from reverse to a forward range the
PRNDL will flash.

through connector C-100 and can cause different symptoms depending whether
the fault is present prior to cycling the key to the on position or if the problem is
only present after the engine is running. In either case you may experience difficulty communicating with the TCM and you may find a P0700 DTC stored in the
PCM. Inspect the terminal at connector C-100, terminal R for damage as well as
being backed out of the connector. Connector C-100 is located in the IP to engine
harness under the UBEC (Underhood fuse box). If the pin is backed out reposition the harness to reduce harness stress (Fig C100)

LCT 1000
Intermittent Neutral Condition, Wont Move Forward or
Backward, No DTCs
Some Allison LCT 1000 applications may experience a condition where the
vehicle tends to drop into neutral at low road speeds intermittently. At normal
road speeds the condition typically does not occur. This condition likely occurs
when the customer has placed the transmission into gear while the vehicle is
stopped and then attempts to move the vehicle forward or backward. Typically the
transmission will engage into the selected gear and as the vehicle moves a few
feet it will drop out of gear and into neutral. Reselecting forward or reverse will
have no effect until the ignition is cycled at which time the vehicle may function
properly or it may again act as described above. Typically NO DTCs are set
To isolate the cause of this concern the technician will generally need to take a
snapshot/movie when the concern is present. Graph the snapshot/movie so you
can monitor the parameters closely. Pay very close attention to the VSS/ISS
signals. Note if the VSS signal dropped out at the time the condition occurred.
Even the slightest dropout of the VSS signal may cause the concern. On some
LCT 1000 software applications the VSS DTCs have been Masked but the
default action for the condition may still be present. This means the if the VSS
signal drops out, even for a split second, the transmission will be commanded to
neutral but no DTCs will be recorded. The cause of this condition is generally the
VSS sensor, although wiring and pin connections may also cause the concern. If
in doubt replace the sensor.

2001-2004 LCT 1000
Some LCT 1000 applications may exhibit fluid leakage from the extension housing 4wd adapter area.
Typically the cause of the leakage is a crack in the extension housing adapter.
Several areas may cause the extension housing to leak. They include:
1.
A faulty U-joint
2.
Excessive drive shaft U-joint working angle
3.
Drive shaft balance
4.
Excessive drive shaft runout
5.

OD OFF Light Inoperative
OD disable/off light no longer functions. The transmission may appear to
function correctly with no other symptoms present. This condition may have
occurred after the Insturment Panel Cluster (IPC) was replaced.
The lamp is controlled by the IPC through input on most applications from the
BCM via serial data. In some applications the BCM monitors input from the
TOW/HAUL momentary contact switch to signal not only tow/haul programming
activation/deactivation but also to disable OD operation when in tow/haul mode.
Some applications will disable OD without alerting the driver as the vehicle was
not equipped with an OD disable/off light. If your vehicle is equipped with an OD
disable lamp several items may cause the concern including:
x A faulty tow/haul switch
x Circuit 553 Lt Blue BCM pin B11 open
x Wrong instrument cluster was installed
x The new instrument cluster was not programmed after installation for the
specific application
Prior to performing repair work, make sure the IPC was not replaced. If the IPC
had been replaced, reprogram the cluster. If the IPC had not been replaced use

With the throttle in the float position you will typically feel the surge/miss starting to occur. As long as you hold the throttle steady, the condition will continue.
As soon as you step on the throttle or release and reapply the throttle, the condition may be gone. The condition will not occur again unless you accelerate and
then decel to the float position. This means this condition cannot be duplicated in
the stall for diagnosis. Typically you will note the misfire counters increasing on
different cylinders each time the condition occurs. You may note that the cam
retard value is out of spec or it appears to change on its own as the vehicle is
operated. (Generally cam retard on V-8 engines should be 0+-2 degrees and V-6
less than 10 degrees)
The cause of this condition is generally the gear on the bottom of the High Voltage Switch (HVS) Distributor. The gear teeth will start to wear sharp which leads
to slack between the cam gear and the HVS gear.
To repair the condition, replace the HVS driven gear.

Poppet Nozzle
Miss/Surge at light to moderate throttle with the problem more noticeable when
TCC is applied. Misfire DTCs are generally not present although you may see
some random misfire on your misfire counters. This condition feels exactly like
the TCC regulator valve train concerns that have been so prevalent for so many
years. In most cases you will find that the customer has had work performed on
the engine, fuel system or the engine electrical system. If you are experiencing
the concern remove the intake manifold and inspect the poppet nozzle position in
the intake manifold. In most cases you will find that someone has mixed up a pair
of poppet nozzles as they are positioned in the intake/cylinder head. If the
nozzles are delivering fuel at the wrong time the affected cylinders will be lean
resulting in the concern. To repair simply reinstall the poppet nozzles, into their
correct cylinder position.

Intake Manifold Gasket
Miss/surge worse typically during engine warm up. On these applications the
miss/surge may/may not cause misfire DTCs. The concern is generally worse at
low engine rpm such as when TCC is applied or even when TCC is not applied
during in town driving. The cause of the concern is generally the intake manifold
gasket. Do not use carb or brake cleaner to help isolate this specific concern.
Brake and carb cleaners can swell the gasket on this engine family enough to
make the problem go away for some time, but it will return which will lead to
increased diagnosis time. Use soapy water to isolate the outside of the intake and
propane to isolate gasket problems inside the engine. Generally the gasket will
leak at one of two locations, the right front corner or the center of the manifold on
the left side. Remove the manifold and inspect the gasket if it has been leaking
you will typically see the gasket is dry and clean in the area of the leak. Replace
the gasket and torque to specifications.

Valve Springs and Valve Guides
Miss/surge at high road speeds or at higher engine RPMs. This concern is generally at engine rpms above 3000 (road speed generally above 60 MPH) with or
without TCC applied. Although several things can cause this concern, 2 areas are
common causes when conventional diagnostic strategies are not helpful. Both
concerns can be isolated by performing a RUNNING compression test at the
suspect engine speed. Normal running compression is generally 50 psi or greater.
If in doubt compare the running compression on the cylinder in question to other
the cylinders. If the running compression is low, inspect for broken or weak valve
springs and for valves sticking in their guides. Neither of these concerns can be
isolated with a vacuum gauge as vacuum gauge diagnostics are only accurate at
normal high engine vacuum scenarios. Replace the damaged springs or resize the
valve guide to attain proper clearance.

Noise when Stopping or when Accelerating from a Stop
Some 1996-2004 truck and SUV 4WD/AWD applications equipped with the
4L60E,4L65E, LCT 1000, 4L80E, 4L80EHD or the 4L85E transmission may exhibit a clunk, pop, thud or squawk noise as the vehicle is coming to a stop or the
noise may occur as the vehicle is pulling away from a stop. The noise is generally
pronounced and is intermittent in some cases. In some instances this condition
may have been corrected for a short period by installing GM slip yoke lubricant.
The drive shaft yoke may be sticking or binding on the transfer case output shaft.
The yoke is slipping then grabbing on the output shaft causing a noise that can
be heard and in many cases felt by the operator.
Prior to attempting to permanently repair the condition make sure your vehicle is
actually displaying the condition listed above and not one of the conditions listed
below:

Launch shudder or vibration (99-2003 X Cab short box) correct with updated prop shaft # 15071486 and pinion yoke #15071485

Downshift clunk on a coast down below 15mph (2003 K/N Trucks with 6.0L
Vin U or N and 4L65E (M32) and a NR3 or NR4 transfer case. This condition is
typically corrected with a PCM software update. The updated program commands
the transmission to make a 3-1 downshift at low speeds rather than a 3-2, 2-1
downshift pattern as it was originally calibrated to do. Check the GM calibration
web site to see if it is available for your application. : http://calid.gm.com
To correct the condition install a Nickel Plated slip yoke. Refer to the information below to determine which part number is required for you application.

Tow/Haul Mode Intermittent, Does not Function
C/K/G/M/L/S/T Trucks
The tow/haul mode feature was introduced during the 1999 model year with
other applications coming during later years. The feature is standard equipment
on many 4L60E/65E/80E/85E and LCT applications. The tow/haul feature is
most effective when the vehicles actual gross combined weight (GCWR) is at least
75% of the vehicles rated GCWR. Operating in tow/haul mode when the vehicle is
not loaded can result in a slight reduction in fuel economy but it will not lead to
transmission related failures. The tow/haul system will provide the following
features:
x Reduce shift frequency at a given engine and vehicle load (Shift cycling/
hunting)
x Eliminate closed throttle upshifts to reduce shift cycling/hunting as the
throttle is reapplied
x Increase the shift points for the transmission allowing the engine to operate
within its power band when the vehicle is loaded or towing
x Command TCC ON during lower gear operation (some as low as 2nd gear
under certain load and temperature conditions)
On most applications, the system is controlled by a switch mounted in the end of
the shift lever. Other applications will use a switch mounted in the dash of the
vehicle. The BCM feeds signal voltage to the switch. The switch is normally open
(normally open momentary contact) so if the customer is not activating the switch
the BCM will see voltage on circuit 553. If the customer presses the switch the
voltage on circuit 553 will be pulled low. This signals the BCM to command the
PCM via serial data that tow/haul is desired or if tow/haul was active, the BCM
will command the PCM to disable the tow/haul feature. In addition the BCM via
serial data commands the IPC to illuminate the tow/haul light in the dash of the
truck. Tow/Haul will cycle off when the ignition is cycled.
Tow/haul mode will affect the upshift as well as the transmissions downshift
points. Typically the MPH effect on shifts will vary with which gear is being
commanded. As an example an unloaded 2001 K-truck 6.0L 4L80E application
on level ground will perform as follows:

Tow/Haul Mode Intermittent, Does not Function (continued)
C/K/G/M/L/S/T Trucks
Some customers may comment that the tow haul feature is not working or that it
works only intermittently on their vehicle. This concern is quite common on fleet
vehicle applications.

Two common causes for the above concern are:


x A faulty tow/haul switch
x A open in circuit 553 (LT BLUE) or circuit 1850 (black) (Fig Tow/haul) The
open is generally located in the steering column just behind the gear shift
lever boot but above connector C201. In some instances the wires are
actually torn in half by the retainer on the column which may have come
loose, while others are simple wiring fatigue failures due to the constant
movement of the shifter in and out of gear or the tilting of the steering
column.
Test the tow/haul switch. If the tow/haul switch is good, inspect and repair
circuit 553 or circuit 1850

APP Sensor Circuit Concerns with 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L, 8.1L
Engines
Truck applications equipped with drive by wire (TAC) throttle systems may
experience one or more of the following symptoms:

SES light on, Reduced power light on, lack of engine power

Any combination of the following APP/TP sensor DTCs set P1514, P1515,
P1516, P1518, P0120, P0220 or P2135

APP/TP sensor DTCs P1285, P1286 or P2133 set after repairs have been
performed
If the vehicle is setting any combination of the following DTCs P1514, P1515,
P1516, P1518, P0120, P0220 or P2135 and you are unable to correct the concern,
inspect the TAC control motor circuit #581 (Yellow wire) and circuit 582 (brown
wire) for damage. Inspect circuit 581/582 pin tension, connector crimps, and for
damage to wiring. Generally damage occurs to the wiring within 1 foot of the
throttle body. Wiring that is broken inside the insulation has also been found as
a cause for this concern.
If the vehicle is setting any combination of the following DTCs P1285, P1286 or
P2133 after repairs have been performed, the wrong part number APP sensor
assembly may have been installed. As was covered in the 2003 ATRA seminar,
the part number for the APP assembly changed because the number of
potentiometers within the sensor changed from 3 sensors (part number
15177923) to 2 sensors (part number 15120405) on later applications. The
update to the APP sensor occurred during the 2003 model year on some
applications with other applications coming on line during 2004 and 2005. In
addition you may find that the shop manual schematics and diagnostics for your
application may not show the updated sensor design. If your vehicle is equipped
with the 2 sensor APP design you must use the correct schematics and diagnostic
procedures to properly diagnose your application.

2005 Updates
A major update is planned for the 4L60E/65E applications for the 2006 model
year. The introduction of an input speed sensor (ISS) on some models will be
fully implemented for the 2006 model year. As with other changes in the past,
some of the changes will be pulled forward into the mid 2005 model year applications in preparation for the roll out of the completed ISS system. In addition a
new model transmission will be introduced in 2006 using the same technology,
the 4L70E. The addition of the ISS system will make input speed calculations a
much simpler process while leading to more accurate diagnosis of transmission
related concerns.
Several hardware changes will need to occur in order to implement the ISS system. Many of the changes will occur in stages. Some of the changes are required
to make room for the new input speed sensor while others are required to make
the ISS function. The updates include:
x Shortening of the Reverse Boost PR valve line-up
x Casting changes within the pump assemble to relocate the S3 bore boss
x Casting changes relocating the TCC release bore
x Update/change Stator support sleeve passages
x Update/change the turbine shaft. The shaft will receive reluctor teeth for
sensor operation. In addition the location of the seal rings on the turbine
shaft will be repositioned
x Adding an Input speed sensor and updating/changing the vehicle and
transmission wiring harness (On applications not using an ISS the sensor
hole will be filled with a plug)
x Enable shift control features in the software that were not fully utilized in
previous applications
x 2 DTCs were added for the ISS system P0716 and P0717

Intermittent Neutral in the Over Drive Range
4L60E/65E applications may exhibit a neutral condition when attempting to
accelerate from a stop with the vehicle in OD range. In some instances the concern may also be associated with an engine flare and then an engagement bump
complaint as the vehicle tries to accelerate from a stop. In most instances the
condition is intermittent and generally very hard to duplicate.
Several items may cause the above concern such as:

Shifter cable condition and adjustment (Common)

A loss of pressure in the forward clutch circuit

Debris in the valve body (Common)

A faulty forward sprag clutch (Not common)

Broken/missing pump priming spring

Low roller clutch faulty (Not common)


If the concern can be duplicated note the following:

Is line pressure normal while the condition is present? If it is low, inspect


the pump for missing priming springs.

Are the PSM/PSA values indicating the unit is in OD range while the condition is present (A= High, B=Low, C=Low)? Does moving the shifter in and out of
gear correct the condition? What is the physical condition of the shifter cable?
Look for corrosion especially in the areas where the cable halves come together. If
the PSM values are not correct, inspect the condition of the rooster comb detents,
manual valve linkage and shifter cable adjustment.
If no problems are found or if the problem cannot be duplicated, inspect the valve
body for debris and adjust the shifter cable. Upon installation of the valve body,
be sure the valve body is moved as close to the front of the transmission as possible before torquing the valve body bolts.

Adaptive Learning
The 5L40E and 5L50E applications use a Bosch controller that utilizes an
adaptive strategy to assure proper shift feel and clutch durability over the life of
the transmission. Like other Hydramatic applications, the 5L40E/50E controllers
store adaptive information which must be cleared if the transmission has been
replaced or if repair work has been performed on the unit. Clearing adapts can be
performed using one of two methods:
x Using a scan tool (recommended)
x Disconnecting the battery (not recommended)
Several different types of adaptive memories are used on the 5L40E/50E
including:
x Power on upshift
x Coast down shift
x Quick fill pulse pressure adapt
x Ec coast adapt
x Garage shift adapt
x Steady state adapt
(Note: Power on upshift, Coast down shift, Quick fill pulse and Ec coast adapt
strategies are not functional if transmission temperatures are below 122F/
50C
Unlike most GM transmissions, the Bosch controller applications like the 5L40E
and 5L50E utilize software that allows for a Quick learn process to reduce the
amount of time it takes for the adapts to learn their proper values. Three of the
adaptive strategies can be learned by operating the vehicle in a specific driving
sequence they are:

Garage Shifts
During the warm up transition (initial transmission temp below 165F/75C)
perform 3 garage shifts at 68F/20C intervals from Neutral to Reverse and then
Neutral to Drive. Pause after each engagement for at least 5 seconds. To clarify,
the technician will perform 3 N-D and 3 N-R engagements for every 68F/20C
temperature change as the transmission temperature increases toward normal
operating temperature.

The transmission temperature must be at least 158F/70C to learn power on
upshift adapt values. Once the transmission has reached the proper temperature
repeat the following upshifts 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5 at least 3 times at each of the
following throttle openings, 15%, 30%, 45%, 60%, 80% and 100% (NOTE: Some
upshifts at higher throttle settings may not be feasible due to speed limit laws)
Coast Downshifts
Select manual shift mode to command the shift while meeting the following
criteria:

With the throttle at 0%

In Manual 5th gear, repeat a 5th gear to 4th gear coasting downshift every
30kph/18mph to cover all the speed range

In Manual 4th gear, repeat a 4th gear to 3rd gear coasting downshift every
20kph/12mph to cover all the speed range

In Manual 3rd gear, repeat a 3rd gear to 2nd coasting downshift every
15kph/9mph to cover all the speed range

In Manual 2nd gear, repeat a 2nd gear to 1st gear coasting downshift every
10kph/6mph to cover all the speed range
Once all the above maneuvers have been completed, move the selector into the
standard position and increase your speed to achieve 5th gear. Remove your foot
from the accelerator and apply the brake while bringing the vehicle to a stop
(repeat this braking phase 2 times). Evaluate the shifts and if needed repeat the
above steps.

4T65E
2005 Updates
Several changes have been implemented for the 4T65E application, they include:

Thrust washer #691 Part #24200584 that was changed to a thrust bearing,
part number 24214159. This change was designed to improve high mileage durability and reduce metal contamination. The updated part will back service previous years and models

Park gear, bearing and sun gear shaft were updated. This updated design
will enhance in car service of the final drive by making it harder for the park gear
bearing to become mispositioned. The park gear now has a deeper pocket, while
the sun shaft had a collar added to it. In addition, the bearing is now thicker. The
parts will back service only if they are used as a complete package. Do not intermix/interchange the updated and the previous design components. Two kits are
planned to allow back service of the update. AWD applications will use one of the
kits while all FWD applications will use a different kit part number.

During the 2005 model year, the Pontiac Grand Prix GXP will be fitted with
the Gen III 5.3L V8. To upgrade the 4T65E to a GM V-8 application several items
were changed including; The bottom pan, the case, the filter, a modified channel
plate and sleeve, Redesigned drive and driven sprocket support bearings Upgraded single sided 4th clutches and 4th clutch shaft, Upgraded forward band with
new material and anchor location, HD ceramic shot peened carriers, planetaries
and bearings, HD ceramic shot peened final drive and updated calibrations for
the V-8 application.

As a mid 2005 change all 4T65E applications will use phoenolic 1-2,2-3
accumulator pistons. The updated pistons will back service previous applications.

Noise, Wont Move, Possible DTC and Hard Shifts
1999-2003 4T65E applications
A grinding/growling type noise, which may change in intensity as the unit shifts
through the gears, depending on the extent of damage. In addition, the unit may
even exhibit hard shifts and a P1811 (max adapt ) DTC may be set. In some cases
the unit will not move if the failure is extreme enough.
As the unit is disassembled for inspection, the amount of damage found can vary
greatly. If you find a lot of metal particulate in the pan the damage will likely be
greater. The root cause of the problem is input sun/carrier bearing #671. A thickness variation concern with the bearing races lead to cracks in the bearing races
and ultimately bearing failure. In many cases the bearing needles and the race
materials migrate into the planetaries which leads to extensive damage.

Burnt 2nd Clutches, Burnt 4TH Clutches
4T65E applications may have burned 2nd and/or 4th clutches as well as the symptoms that result from damaged clutches.
The accumulator bore taper may be too deep (Improper machining) resulting in
over travel of the 1-2 or 3-4 accumulator piston into the tapered area. When the
piston seal contacts the tapered area, the seal may become damaged leading to
pressure loss in the affected circuit. Pressure loss in the circuit will result in
damage to the appropriate clutch.
Inspect the accumulator housing bores for damage and equal bore taper depth. If
the taper is excessive in one of the suspect bores or if the bore is damaged replace
the accumulator housing.

Fluid Leak at the Left Axle Area
Many technicians have been mislead into believing that the leak is being caused
by the axle seal or by the valve body side cover seal. In many instances the leak is
actually being caused by seal #59 which seals the side cover to the channel plate.
Remove the seal and inspect it closely as you roll it with your fingers and you will
generally notice a small cut or nick in the seal.

4T80E
Updates 2005
The major change for the 4T80E application for the mid 2005 model year is the
elimination of the VCC (Viscous Converter Clutch) for all models. The upgrade is
scheduled for the 1st quarter 2005. Replacing the VCC converter is a new Ec
Torque converter. (TCC converters will still be available on some applications as in
previous years) It should be noted that the update to an Ec system is designed
for VCC as well as some of the TCC applications. In addition it is imperative that
the updated parts/gaskets not be intermixed with parts/gaskets for the other
designs. To facilitate such a change several changes were required including:
x New Ec converters for all VCC applications
x Updated calibrations to enable Ec operation. In addition the new
calibration will change parameters required for setting 4 DTCs (P0741,
P0742, P2763 and P2764)
x An updated Case Cover Spacer Plate. Four Orifice dimensions were
changed and an Id hole was added to the NEW plate in the Left corner to
act as a quick identification marker when compared to the prior VCC
application spacer plate. Three Orifice dimensions were changed and an Id
hole was added to the NEW plate in the Left corner to act as a quick
identification marker when compared to the prior TCC application spacer
plate. The new spacer plate will service VCC and TCC applications. The
updated spacer plate will be available in a kit to allow the technician to
update prior VCC applications to an Ec application.
x An updated Case Cover Spacer Plate Gasket. One passage change was
required for the Ec application gasket. The updated gasket is included in
the service kit to update prior VCC applications
x An updated Valve Body Gasket. One passage change was required for the
Ec application gasket. The updated gasket is included in the service kit to
update prior VCC applications
x An updated converter clutch control valve spring and TCC enable spring are
used on all Ec applications. Both the TCC control spring and the TCC
enable spring are now the same spring tension and dimensions.

COMPUSHIFT is a 20 MIP
DSP based computer that
was custom designed by
HGM Automotive
Electronics Inc. as an
Electronic Transmission
Controller. COMPUSHIFT
is NOT a modified factory computer, and it does NOT need a
laptop or PC to be completely programmed. COMPUSHIFT is
designed and manufactured in the United States. The CPU is
manufactured by an ISO 9000 certified, high-reliability
aerospace manufacturer using the latest computer
automated multilayer surface-mount manufacturing
technique. Every unit is tested in a custom designed ATE
station, and all components are military temperature rated. A
complete thermal, worst-case and stress analysis has been
performed upon The COMPUSHIFT unit.

COMPANY PROFILE
In the 1980s most automobile manufacturers
recognized the inherent advantages of a computercontrolled automatic transmission. Governmentmandated automobile efficiency and emissions
standards, combined with the requirement for
drivability and durability from customers, placed a
high demand on the engine and transmission
controls.
Fortunately for the aftermarket enthusiasts, the
transmissions that were developed are strong,
versatile and offer great flexibility, provided that an
appropriate controller is used. Without a controller,
these transmissions are literally brain-dead. With a

controller, they are


tunable to provide
high performance
for a variety of
applications.
In 1996,
disappointed with
the available
controllers on the
Acculink TPS
market, the three
founders of HGM
Automotive
Electronics began
the development of
the COMPUSHIFT.
After hundreds of
thousands of
dollars in
engineering and
New construction
development
expenses and hundreds of hours of road testing in
many different vehicles, COMPUSHIFT was born.
The HGM product line is continually being
enhanced and widened to support more
transmissions and specialty applications.
All HGM Automotive Electronics products are
designed and built in the USA.

6.0L Diesel No Start, Misfire Codes
Vehicles equipped with the 6.0L engine may exhibit a no start or engine misfire
codes. Multiple root causes can create these symptoms, including the Fuel Injection Control Module (FICM).
There are a couple of areas to look, at the wiring and the FICM. If the FICM is
suspected to be the root cause, refer to the following procedure to verify the FICM
is at fault before replacement.

NOTE: Verify the scanner has the latest level and the vehicle is updated to the latest
calibration. Calibration issues and related Powertrain components can also cause this
problem.
The most common symptoms of a failed FICM are a no start or multiple misfire
codes that can not be removed. Diagnostic codes U0105 and/or P0611 may also
be present. Symptoms other than these are not likely to be caused by the FICM.

If the FICM is replaced, it will not contain the necessary software. It must be programmed
prior to use.
Check for FICM wiring harness for chafing. Perform a wiggle test to verify the
integrity of the connections at the FICM and injectors. Its common to see DTCs
P2614 and P2617 as a result of wire chafing. It is often necessary to push on the
engine/injector harness to duplicate a ground out condition. Ensure the FICM
connectors are fully seated. If any wire chafing is noted, repair as necessary and
evaluate the vehicle. If the condition is corrected, return the vehicle to customer.
If no wiring chafes are located proceed with the following pages.

NOTE:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Some common chafing locations are:


The upper left valve cover
Valve Cover Bolt areas
Near the intake bolts
Under and near the FICM

6.0L Diesel No Start, Misfire Codes (continued)
Set up your scanner to test the FICM power and grounds by selecting these PIDS:
1.
FICM_VPWR
2.
FICM_LPWR
3.
FICM_MPWR
4.
B+
Monitor PIDS for the following values:
FICM_VPWR: FICM vehicle power from ignition switch voltage = battery voltage
FICM_ LPWR: FICM logic power from fuse, FICM relay voltage = battery voltage
FICM_MPWR: Internal FICM power voltage = 47-50 volts
B+: Battery Voltage
If all of the above readings are within range, proceed with the following pages.
If any of the above are out of range, disconnect the three FICM connectors and
inspect condition of connector, pins, and wiring at the connector, paying close
attention for wiring chafes. Repair any issues and evaluate the vehicle, if the
condition is corrected return the vehicle to the customer.

voltage present, or low voltage is present, check circuit 3098 for a open. If B+ is
present, jumper pin 27 of connector 1388c to a good battery ground.
Check for B+ voltage at pins 4, 7, 8, 23, 24, 25. If no or low voltage is found at any
pin, repair as necessary.
If B+ is present at all pins, replace the FICM and return vehicle to customer.

NOTE: If the FICM is replaced it will not contain software, it must be programed prior to
use.

TorqShift
Erratic Line Pressure
Pressure Control Solenoid Failure
A failed solenoid can cause line pressure to bounce from 20 to 200 psi. Symptoms
include erratic shift patterns, harsh shifts, soft shifts, flare shifts. The TorqShift
transmission has a shift strategy system which allows the PCM to adjust the
pressure of the transmission, allowing the transmission to shift the same way
every time. To properly diagnose the solenoid, use your scanner and pressure
gauge simultaneously. Compare the two reading to determine if the PCM is the
cause or if the solenoid has failed.

Harsh Disengagement When Shifting From Reverse to Park
2003 Super Duty F-Series or Excursion
Some 2003-2004 Super Duty F-Series or Excursion vehicles built before 11/14/
2003 with a 6.0L diesel engine and TorqShift transmission may exhibit a harsh
disengagement when shifting from reverse to park. A clunk may also be heard
during this disengagement. To correct this condition, replace the original solenoid
body manual valve with a redesigned part 4C3Z-7D376-AA. To perform this repair,
first remove the solenoid body assembly. Replace the manual valve with the redesigned valve. Use a new solenoid body-to-case gasket (3C3Z-7C155-DA) during
reinstallation, clean and reuse the bottom pan gasket, and top off with Mercon SP
transmission fluid.

E4OD/4R100
Check Ball Identification and Symptom Chart
Repeated failures are caused by only two types of problems: parts or technique.
If a part is causing the failure, it should be no surprise that using the same nogood part causes the same failure.
If the problem is technique, it means a process you are doing is actually causing
the failure. An example would be drilling out a separator plate hole, changing the
servo size, or leaving a checkball out. Sure, there are valid reasons for making
modifications.
Checkballs are one of those technique issues: yeah, leave that checkball out for a
better 2-3 shift. Weve all heard it, and weve all done it at one point or another,
sometimes successfully, sometimes were not so sure. But what we can be sure of
is what those little checkballs do, and what effect leaving them out will have.

Early 1989 E4ODs


The first E4OD had 16 checkballs.
Late 1989 E4ODs
The second release of the E4OD was during the mid-year production. This change
omitted CB3, CB4 and CB5. These are orificing checkballs for the intermediate,
overdrive and direct accumulators. When these checkballs were omitted, so were
the separator plate holes where they seated.
Leaving these checkballs out on an early 1989 model will cause a slide-bump
during the shifts. Leaving the check balls in will cause no problem in late 89.
1990 1993 E4ODs...
In 1990, Ford omitted CB12 and BS5. BS5 was a shuttle for direct clutch oil and
would shuttle between the direct clutch accumulator feed and engagement control valve feed. This ball didnt do anything in reverse, and wasnt needed for third
because the engagement control valve blocked fluid flowing back through the
system.
CB12 worked with BS5 in that it was part of the direct clutch feed circuit. It simply forced any oil on one side of BS5 to go through the engagement control valve
during the apply, and then allowed for a quick drain of the circuit during release
(reverse only).

E4OD/4R100
Check Ball Identification and Symptom Chart (continued)
1990 1993 E4ODs...(continued)
After the spearator plate hole for CB12 was eliminated, there was no more need
for BS5. These two checkballs are a matched set; that is, it either has both or
neither. If you install them on models that dont use them its no big deal; they
wont interfere with anything.
If you leave out the BS5 on models that require it, direct clutch oil will leak from
the CB12 plate hole in third gear regardless of whether you install the CB12
ball. When they eliminated CB12 they got rid of the hole in the plate for it. If your
plate doesnt have a hole for CB12, leave both balls out (CB12 and BS5).
If you leave out CB12 on models that use it, itll bypass the engagement control
valve during reverse engagements, resulting in a more aggressive engagement in
reverse.
1994 1995 E4ODs
Some 94-95 repair manuals labeled CB13 as CB12 in the hydraulics and in the
check ball ID section. The function of this ball has always been the same. Its still
the same ol checkball in the lower valve body section thats been around since
the beginning.
1996 On E4ODs
The changes in 1996 include two checkballs that were added (CB15 and CB16)
and BS6 was moved from the case to the lower valve body. This change was to
prime the low/reverse circuit in 1st gear, park and neutral.
Moving BS6 to the lower valve body put it near the SS2 (shift solenoid 2) circuit,
so low/reverse clutch oil would dump when SS2 came on for the shift to 2nd. In
addition, the 1-2 manual transition valve prevents SS2 oil from reaching the 1-2
shift valve until the low/reverse clutch is fully drained. CB16 is part of that circuit.
If you forget to install CB16, you may not realize it for a while. Thats because itll
only leak low/reverse oil in manual low; reverse will be fine. BS6 was eliminated
on some models and the reverse circuit to it was eliminated. But if you leave it out
on models that use it, the transmission will shift 1-4, or in some cases (depending
on condition of SS2) youll get a 1-3-4 shift. Some models dont use BS6, but it
wont cause any problem if you accidentally install it, because the hole in the
separator is oblong, so the ball wont seal the hole. If the plate has two holes over
the bath tub you must use a check ball in that location. If the plate has one hole,
do not install a check ball.

E4OD/4R100

1996 On E4ODs
The CB15 is used in the exhaust circuit of the L/R modulator valve. The idea is
that anytime you block off a regulator valve exhaust circuit itll open fully to line
(or whatever is feeding the circuit). So in park or neutral the L/R modulator valve
primes the L/R clutch circuit, and CB15 allows the L/R modulator valve exhaust
circuit to drain.
When you go to reverse, reverse oil begins to flow through the circuits, pushing
CB15 into the L/R modulator valve exhaust, and BAM! the low/reverse clutch
applies. Applying the L/R clutch before the direct clutch in reverse makes for a
much smoother apply. The L/R clutch will still apply if you leave out CB15, but
not as quickly, so you may get a bang going from park to reverse.

The Rest of the Checkballs


So far weve only talked about the checkballs that have changed over the years.
Lets do a quick rundown on the ones that havent changed:
CB1: Blocks manual 2 and L oil going to the 4-3-2 manual timing valve from
leaking through the reverse circuit. Leave it out and itll dump line oil out of the
manual control valve.
CB6: Orificing checkball for the direct clutch exhaust. During a 3-2 kickdown it
forces direct clutch oil to drain through an orifice, slowing the release. If you leave
it out, youll get a clunk on a 3-2 kickdown.
CB7: Orificing checkball for the overdrive clutch exhaust. During a 4-3 kickdown
it forces overdrive clutch oil to drain through an orifice, slowing the release. If you
leave it out, youll get a clunk on a 4-3 kickdown.
CB8: Orificing checkball for the coast clutch apply. If you leave it out, youll get a
clunk when the coast clutch applies for engine braking.
CB9: Orificing checkball for intermediate servo apply. If you leave it out, the intermediate band will apply more aggressively during a manual 3-2 downshift.
CB14: Orificing checkball for intermediate clutch release. If you leave it out youll
get a clunk on the 2-1 kickdown.

E4OD/4R100

The Rest of the Checkballs
BS1: Shuttles between reverse oil and manual 2/low oil to stroke the coast clutch
shift valve. If you leave it out, line oil dumps through the manual control valve in
all of these ranges not to mention the coast clutch wont apply for engine braking, except in drive when you cancel OD.
BS2: Shuttles between SS2 oil and manual 2 oil to stroke the 1-2 shift valve and
L/R modulator valve. If you leave it out, the transmission will shift from 1st to 4th.
That is, when the computer commands 2nd it stays in 1st. When it commands 3rd, it
goes to 4th (just like BS6 on 1996-98 model E4ODs). The problem is, if the SS2 is
stuck off itll cause the same thing, so be careful. One more thing, depending on
the condition of SS2, and well it flows, you may get a 1-3-4 shift.
BS3: Shuttles between reverse/manual 2 oil and the coast clutch solenoid to
stroke the coast clutch shift valve. If you leave it out, you wont have any engine
braking when you cancel overdrive. Youll also lose engine braking in reverse,
manual 2 and manual low, just like leaving out BS1.

The symptom may be erratic. Before removing the transmission, always check the
pressures to determine the cause of the problem. If the pressures are normal,
check the O/D servo bore for premature wear. Side loading causes the Servo to

Erratic Shifts
Drive Cycle Procedure
Erratic shifts after an overhaul may be caused by a relearn strategy. DO NOT
remove the transmission and attempt to make any repairs until you thoroughly
drive the vehicle. Dont be alarmed if you have to drive the vehicle for up to 4
hours.
Many concerns will be associated with the transmission:

No upshift without lifting the throttle

2-3 flare 3-4 and 4-5 OK

1-2 shift late and harsh

2-3 flare and on time


Drive Cycle Recommendations:
1.
Most OBDII monitors will complete more readily using a steady foot
driving style during cruise or acceleration modes. Operating the throttle in
a smooth fashion will minimize the time required for monitor completion.
2.

Fuel tank level should be between 1/2 and 3/4 fill with 3/4 fill being the
most desirable.

3.

The Evaporative Monitor can only operate during the first 30 minutes of
engine operation. When executing the procedure for this monitor, stay in
part throttle mode and drive in a smooth fashion to minimize fuel slosh.

An adaptive learning strategy in the PCM controls the shift feel and timing on the
transmission. This feature is designed to increase durability and provide consistent shift feel over the life of the vehicle. As a result of the battery being disconnected, the transmission may have firm and/or soft shifts. This operation is considered normal and will not affect the function or durability of the transmission.
Once the vehicle is at operating temperature it may take several shifts at that
same operating condition before the transmission will operate properly. Over
time, the adaptive learning process will fully update the operation of the transmission. The more varied the driving habits the longer it may take.

Disconnected Battery
When the battery has been disconnected, or a new battery installed certain transmission operating parameters may be lost. The powertrain control module (PCM)
must relearn these parameters. During this learning process you may experience
slightly firm shifts, delayed, or early shifts. This operation is considered normal
and will not affect the function of the transmission. Normal operation will return
once these parameters are stored by the PCM.

Check Fuse # 14
A blown fuse in the engine compartment fuse box may be associated with this
concern. Check for a chaffed wire in the steering column.
Models with an O/D cancel switch on the column are common, however finding a
wiring diagram is not as common. Most late model Ford systems use a Multiplex
system to communicate. The O/D cancel circuit is part of this system. When the
user applies the switch, the command goes to the Instrument Cluster. From the
Instrument Cluster the multiplex system tells the PCM to switch the solenoids to
the third gear signal.

Erratic Mainline Pressure Rise
1996 Tauras/Sable, 3.0L 2V
Erratic line pressure can be caused by many thing, reprogramming the PCM or
replacing the EPC Solenoid may not fix this problem. However, some 1996 model
years with 3.0L 2V Taurus/Sable PCMs may not be able to be reprogramed using
the factory scan tool (NGS). PCM part number F6DF-12A650-BF, F6DF-12A650JD, F6DF-12A650-DF, & F6DF-12A650-KD were released with the same HEX file
name programmed into the PCM. The F6DF-12A650-BF PCM can be reprogramed
with the factory scan tool. PCM with part numbers F6DF-12A650- JD/DF/KD
may not be able to be reprogramed with the factory scan tool. All four of these
PCMs can be reprogramed using the July 98 or later program. If the factory scan
tool is unable to reprogram the PCM it is neccessary to replace the PCM assembly.

Engine power reaches the transmission by a torque converter with an integral
converter clutch. The six forward gears and one reverse gear are obtained from
single planetary sets.
This automatic transmission is a six-speed electronically controlled transmission
comprising the basic elements of a TCM, main control valve body unit, torque
converter, one solenoid valve and six pressure regulators. Gear selection is
achieved by the control of automatic transmission fluid flow to operate various
internal clutches. The TCM operates the electrical components and provides for
the control of gear selection shift pressure which increases refinement and torque
converter slip.
In the event of a system fault, the TCM also provides for failure mode effect management (FMEM) to maintain maximum functional operation of the transmission
with a minimum reduction in driver, passenger or vehicle safety. In the event of a
total loss of control or electrical power, the basic transmission functions PARK,
REVERSE, NEUTRAL and DRIVE are retained. Also third or fifth gear is retained
by the hydraulic system. The gear retained is dependent upon the gear selected
at the time of the failure.

Transfer Case Issues - Recall


2001 Durango and 2001 Dakota
4X4 Trucks Unexpectently Rolling When in Park
Light duty trucks and sport utility vehicles equipped with Electric Shift 4-wheel
drive. The electric shift transfer case may not fully engage into gear when the
operator moves the transfer case selector switch. This could cause the transfer
case to end up in the neutral position unexpectedly and allow the vehicle to roll if
the parking brake is not fully applied. Vehicles built between manufacture dates:
JUL 1999 through JAN 2001. Chrysler has a recalibration for the transfer case
control module that is for this specific concern Campaign No: 01V077000. This is
a recall campaign so there should be no dealer charge for the module relearn.

Control Modules
Module Diagnostics
Module Calibration Fault Example
The flowing fault is very common and easily fixed. Although it is technically an
HVAC concern, the wide variety of symptoms may lead technicians into hours of
frustrating diagnosis in other systems.
Symptoms
The following symptom combinations in the following list occur primarily through
the late 1990s Minivans (NS Body) after a module replacement or extended
power loss. If you replace the HVAC control head or the battery is removed/dead
for an extended period of time, the wiper and A/C status indicator LEDs will be
flashing. There will be no trouble codes stored, and normal diagnostics will not
lead to a solution.

Rear Wiper and Intermittent Wiper LEDs flash simultaneously: This


condition indicates that the A/C control head calibration diagnostics have
failed. Repeat the calibration procedure in this article.

A/C and RECIRC LEDs flash simultaneously: This condition indicates that
the A/C control head calibration diagnostics have failed the cooldown test.
Repeat the cooldown test in this article.

A/C, RECIRC, Rear Wiper and Intermittent Wiper LEDs flash


simultaneously: This condition indicates that the A/C control head calibra
tion diagnostics have failed. Repeat the calibration procedure in this article.

Rear Wiper and Intermittent Wiper LEDs flash simultaneously: This


condition indicates that the A/C control head calibration diagnostics and
the cooldown test have failed.

The primary reason this fault is difficult to diagnose is that it isnt really a fault. It
is usually just an indication that the HVAC control head had lost calibration
information or requires initial calibration.

Recalibration Procedure
To enter the recalibration procedure, perform the following steps:

With the engine running, set the blower motor to HIGH


Set the mode position to PANEL
Open all A/C outlets
Set the temperature to COLD (both sliders if equipped)
Depress WASH and REAR WIPER buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds

The module has entered calibration and diagnostic mode when all LEDs illuminate. The following will occur during test:

All LEDs will illuminate for 5 seconds


REAR WIPER and INTERMITTENT LEDs will flash alternately while the test
is running
A/C and RECIRC LEDs will flash alternately if the test then enters to
cooldown test
When the REAR WIPER LED alone is flashing, the test has completed and
passed
Press the WIPER button to exit this mode

This test is actually running the actuators in the system back and forth to calibrate the actuator and feedback relationships.

Control Modules
Module Diagnostics
Cool Down Test Entry
The cool down test should automatically run with the calibration test, but can
also be run separately be completing the following steps:

With the engine running, set the blower motor to HIGH


Set the mode position to PANEL
Open all A/C outlets
Set the temperature to COLD (both sliders if equipped)
Depress WASH and A/C buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds

The test is running if the A/C and RECIRC LEDs are alternately flashing. If the
LEDs are flashing simultaneously, the test has failed.
Once both tests have been run, the LEDs should no longer be flashing. In other
words, this procedure clears the flashing LEDs, since the LEDs are only flashing
as an alert that the control head is not properly calibrated. If the LEDs continue
to flash in any order, then the module has stored trouble codes.

Note: If the cooldown test is initiated with a cold evaporator, the test will fail. First run the
engine with the blower on HIGH and the A/C off for 3 minutes prior to the test.
HVAC Flash Codes
If the calibration or cooldown tests fail, the LEDs will flash out codes. The REAR
WIPER LED flashing indicates the level of the code, and the INTERMITTENT LED
indicates the code. After the test is complete, the level 1 codes will automatically
be displayed. Pressing the WASH button advances to the next level.

Note: While this is useful information, this procedure is almost always used just to calibrate
the module to clear the blinking LEDs. It is not common for codes to result from this
procedure. In any case, it is nice to know that the self diagnostics are so thorough, and can
help you in the event of a real fault.

Solenoid codes are electrical specific codes.


Hydraulic influences will not set these codes.
Diagnosing solenoid codes can be simplified by isolating the parts of the wiring
circuit that are involved as well as the components (transmission relay, solenoid
body, battery, wiring, and control module) and harness connectors that affect
these conditions. Battery condition as well as battery cables and clamp ends must
be good at all times (engine off and engine running).
Check procedures:

Clean the battery posts or pads (even if they look clean). Recheck for codes.
If codes do not reappear you are done.

Check for battery voltage (engine not running 12.6 minimum) directly on
the posts, then the clamps

Check for charging voltage (engine running with as many loads on as


possible ie; head lights on high beam, dome light on, fan motor running on
high fan, radio on) voltage should be 13.0 to 14.8.

Locate the transmission control module and transmission relay (disconnect


transmission control module and jump the relay coil power wire energizing
the relay and check for switched voltage to match keep alive memory voltage
at the computer connector). If there is a voltage drop through the
transmission relay, change the relay with a NEW relay and retest.

terminals of the transmission relay receiver
Check for voltages as they originate at battery, through relay, to switched
battery voltage terminals and down through the solenoid pack, as they work
there way to the ground pins plugging into the computer connector (un
plugged)
Check amperage draw on solenoid ground locations of the computer connec
tor locations using the DVOM on amperage scale to energize each of the
solenoids (important: only check the solenoid ground wires in this fashion)

If the originating battery voltage is confirmed at all test points and all 4 solenoids
check out with exact same amperages than you must check powers and grounds
at the transmission control module (cranking ignition voltage, running ignition
voltage, and computer grounds). If all circuits check out, suspect a faulty control
module.

19961999 RE Transmissions
Governor Pressure Sensor Voltage too High DTC P1763
Some vehicles may exhibit an MIL illumination with a DTC P1763 (Governor
Pressure Sensor Volts to High). Symptom may be slower than normal vehicle
accelerations because the transmission may have temporarily entered its third
gear LIMP IN mode as a result of the DTC. The limp mode may clear when the
driver cycles the key on/off. This problem may not be detected after the code is
cleared and car is road tested. This is caused by an increase in line pressure.
Valve body machining process changed at the beginning of production date JAN
1, 1998. This condition occurred most often with vehicles that were built between
JAN 1, 1998 through DEC 18, 1998. If earlier units have a valve body change, this
condition can occur depending on the year of the valve body production. If this
concern is experienced, there are calibration updates for the PCM to help compensate for the higher pressures (stock valve body only). New software changes
are (96Call8, 97Call8, 98Call2, and 99Call4).
Note: This code can occur if valve body recalibrations are made by aftermarket
products that increase driving line pressures over 100 psi. Calibration updates
will not compensate when this has been done.

and any other Miller tool can be ordered by calling SPXMILLER Tools at
1(800)801-5420. Failure of the pressure transducer mounted on the side of the
transmission case (externally) can cause erratic pressures in the transmission.
Pressure is set at a base line value of 100 psi to 120 psi. Inspect for possible
cracks and leaking sealing rings on transducer. Replace when damaged.

Slip Shifts / Failsafe
The accumulator retaining plate on the valve body is commonly breaking loose
and blowing the accumulators out of the valve body. The cause (answer from
Chrysler Tech) is improper torque on the retaining screws allowing them to back
out. When repairing the valve body and accumulator plate, it is important to use
lock tight (blue) on the retaining screws to prevent them from backing out causing failure again. Plate screw retaining torque is 40 in lbs.

There is no factory specifications for clutch clearance.
Try to maintain 0.008-0.010 per disc.

Binds in 2nd Gear


Bushing Installation
Installation of the 3rd Clutch Bushing is very important. If the feed hole is not
aligned properly, 3rd clutch failure will occur. It will also cause a bind in 2nd due
to the 3rd clutch staying on.

NOTE:
The offset hole MUST
face down

3rd Clutch Feed

This hole must line up


with the 3rd Clutch

Center Support Washer


Isuzu Washers
Center Supports that use a no-tab style thrust washer tend to fail because the
plastic washer is allowed to spin on the support. If you choose to machine the
no-tab style Center Support you can use the 3 tab washers and they are more
adjustable for endplay. These washers are also used for the Pump to adjust Overdrive housing endplay.

Manual Code Retrieval
Preliminary Test:
1.

With the selector lever in Park, start the engine and warm it to operating
temperature.

2.

Turn the ignition switch to the Off position, then turn the switch in cycles
On, Off, On, Off (ending in the Off position).

3.

Wait 10 seconds.

4.

Turn the ignition switch to the On position (do not start engine).

5.

The A/T Check indicator should come on for about 2 seconds. If the A/T
Check indicator does not come on, check the CAN bus circuits from the
TCM to the instrument cluster, power and ground to A/T control module
and the A/T Check indicator lamp and circuits.

* The short blinks indicate codes that are not set and the long blinks indicate codes that are
set. Example: If all of the blinks are short except for the 8th, 12th, and 23rd, it means you
have codes 8, 12 and 23 set.

Wiring Diagram
The transmission control module wiring diagram below shows some of the same
components and circuits that you would find in previous year models. If you look
closely, you will notice that some sensors you would find on earlier vehicles, such
as the TPS, are not present. The overview of the CAN bus network covered in the
next couple of pages will help you understand which modules these sensor signals go to, and how the sensor data is communicated between modules.

CAN Communication
There are some quick tests you can perform on the Nissan CAN bus network
without even using a scan tool or DMM. Using this type of test procedure can help
you quickly determine if there is a problem and narrow down where the problem
may be located.
For example, looking at the CAN data transfer charts on the following pages, you
can determine which modules are transmitting specific data information, and
which are receiving (T for the transmitting module, R for the receiving module).
Example 1:
Verifying the network between the ECM and the Unified Meter and A/C Amp.
The Engine Speed Signal is transmitted over the CAN bus network by the ECM,
and received by the Unified Meter and A/C Amp (instrument cluster module).
Test 1:
So if you start the engine and the tachometer is functioning, then you have verified that the network between the ECM and Unified Meter and A/C Amp is intact
and functioning at this time.
Example 2:
Verifying the network between the TCM and the Unified Meter and A/C Amp.
The A/T Position Indicator Lamp data is transmitted over the CAN bus network
by the TCM, and received by the Unified Meter and A/C Amp (instrument cluster
module).
Test 2:
If you move the Transmission Selector Lever and the Position Indicator Lamps are
functioning properly, you have verified that the network between the TCM and
Instrument Cluster is intact and functioning at this time.

Looking at the network wiring diagram, you can see that by performing the tests
described above you can verify the integrity of the network from the Unified Meter
and A/C Amp to the ECM.

No 2-3 Shift On the Rack After Rebuild
Many times after rebuild a no 2-3 shift is discovered. The computer strategy does
not allow a successful 2-3 shift with the wheels off of the ground. It may be possible to shift the transmission manually to get the 2-3 shift. The transmission
may shift erratic during the initial road test.

can cause flares or mask harsh shifts when connected to a clutch pressure port. It
is best to use transducer type electronic gauges for clutch pressures.

Shaft Bearing Snaprings


General Information
Always remove the bearings from the case and carefully inspect snaprings for
wear. Excessive wear allows shaft movement which can cause noise problems
and shaft tube retainer/end cover damage.

Clutch Packs
General Information (continued)
Check for wear on the bottom steel plate of each clutch pack
The cushion plate will often wear into the bottom steel plate. This will increase
clutch pack clearance, and decrease the cushioning effect on clutch apply. If the
groove is more than 0.005" deep, replace the steel plate.
Steel plate finish:
Improper Steel plate finish can cause shift quality problems. The factory finish on
an unused steel plate is NOT a mirror finish. It looks more like a scratchy surface.
Shift Concerns:
1.
Slide Bump
2.
Shudder

Shaft Bushings and Tubes


Closely Inspect the Tube Ends for any Signs of Wear or
Scoring
A slight polishing or marking on the end of the tube where the shaft bushing
rides is acceptible. If any scoring, grooves or wear is present, replace both the
tube and the bushing.

Shaft Bushings and Tubes


Check theTube to Bushing Clearance with Scotch Type
Tape

3.
4.

With a pair of scissors, cut a narrow (1/16") strip of Scotch or similar type
plastic tape (about 0.002" thick).
Lay the piece of tape lengthwise at the end of the tube, leaving some of the
tape hanging off of the end of the tube.
Fold the loose end of the tape in slightly so it will lead itself into the shaft
bushing.
Insert the tube into the shaft, taped end first.

The tube should not fit into the bushing with the piece of tape on it. If it will fit
into the bushing (without excessive force), the bushing or tube are worn and need
to be replaced.

Start Clutch Relearn Procedure
Procedure for 1996 model only:
Caution: Do not use this procedure for 1997 and newer vehicles.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Engage the parking brake and block the front wheels securely.
Jump the Service Check connector (the Service Check connector is located
under the dash on the passenger side of the vehicle).
Start the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature
(the radiator fan comes on twice.)
Fully depress the brake pedal and accelerator for 20 seconds with the gear
selector in D position (full power stall).
Shift into N or P. To store the negative pressure in memory, let the engine
idle in N or P for one minute under the following conditions:
*
With the brake pedal depressed
*
With the A/C switch off
*
With the combination light switch (headlights/running lights)off
*
With the heater fan switch off
*
Turn OFF all other electrical accessories

Note: Start step 5 within 60 seconds after the radiator fan goes off.
6.
7.

Shift into D position and let the engine idle for two minutes to store the
feedback signal under the same conditions as in step 5.
Connect a scan tool 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 degrees F (40 degrees C), even if the engine coolant reaches normal operating
temperature.
*

Repeat these procedures until the start clutch calibration is shown to


be completed in scan data.

Ohms Law
With Ohms Law, as long as you have any two
circuit values, you can easily calculate the third:

VOLTS

Volts Amps = Ohms

AMPS

OHMS

Volts Ohms = Amps


Amps x Ohms = Volts

Electrical Power
WATTS

A measurement of power developed in an electrical circuit.


Just like with Ohms Law, whenever you have two
measurements, you can calculate the third.

VOLTS AMPS

Watts Volts = Amps


Watts Amps = Volts
Volts x Amps = Watts

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

2005 ATRA. All Rights Reserved.

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 ontime.
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.

Glossary of Electrical Terms (cont)


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 deenergizes, 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.
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 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 J-1930 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.

Glossary of Electrical Terms (cont)


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.
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.
