LCT 1000
Torque Converter Leaks
Outside of the typical front seal/pump bolt and pump leakage the LCT 1000
applications have developed another area where leakage commonly occurs. The
leakage can be temperature sensitive and may be difficult to locate. The converter
lugs tend to crack at the welds and may start to leak. If a leak is discovered in
this area the converter will require replacement. GM has a tool that allows you to
pressurize the converter to inspect for leakage once the converter is on the bench,
the part number is (J-21369-F)

GENERAL MOTORS 25

LCT 1000
M74 Grade Braking
On Allison applications, the grade braking software program is designed to reduce
wear on the vehicles braking system when decelerating. The grade braking fea-
ture will automatically downshift the transmission to provide engine braking thus
reducing wear on the brakes while improving the driver’s control of the vehicle.
The grade braking system is not designed to reduce the need for the customer to
maintain control of the vehicle during deceleration. To accomplish this task the
TCM monitors several inputs including:
* TP position and TP Delta
* PRNDL Position (NSBU or IMS)
* Brake Switch Status
* Calculated grade and load (MAP/MAF/RPM)
* Vehicle Speed and wheel speed
* Tow/Haul Switch Position

The grade braking feature is “transparent” to the customer as the TCM deter-
mines if grade braking is required or not based on the input data received. The
grade braking feature cannot be “shut off” by the customer although it can be
overridden by simply stepping on the accelerator pedal.

For the grade braking feature to operate the TCM monitors the PRNDL position,
engine/vehicle load, brake switch position, vehicle/wheel speed and engine RPM.
For grade braking to function, the brake pedal must be depressed. Grade brak-
ing can operate while in either “tow/haul” mode or “normal” mode. If the vehicle
is operating in normal mode, the vehicle will downshift from high gear to the next
lowest gear range. If the vehicle is being operated in tow/haul mode the vehicle
can downshift to a range as low as 2nd gear, one range at a time. The system will
not skip shifts/ranges and the shift points will vary based on load and RPM in-
puts. The grade braking system does not require any customer action to activate
the feature.

The TCM calculates the information received from its inputs. Those factors are
calculated, weighted and then the sum is calculated. If the calculated sum ex-
ceeds the predetermined threshold the TCM will command a downshift and grade
braking will become active, overriding the PRNDL position.

LCT 1000
M74 Grade Braking (continued)
The actual shift speeds cannot exceed predetermined engine RPM values. If the
TCM determines that the engine speed would be too high if a downshift was com-
manded, the downshift will be inhibited. (4650 RPM L18 Gas Application, 4000
RPM LB7 Diesel Applications) Conversely, if the load and engine speed continue
to increase beyond predetermined limits while decelerating, the TCM will com-
mand an upshift to occur. (5000 RPM L18 Gas Application, 4800 RPM LB7 Diesel
Applications)

NOTE: The engine is designed to operate in the “Dashed Red” zone of the tachom-
eter during grade braking. The engine should not be allowed to operate in the
“Solid Red” zone at any time or engine damage may occur. The TCM software has
some predetermined maximum downshift points. The shift points are determined
by monitoring road speed via the vehicle speed sensor. The following represents
the maximum VSS values the vehicle can be operated at before grade braking will
be inhibited.

The grade braking feature may function even if the vehicle is being operated on
level roads. In addition the system is able to calculate any additional loads such
as when pulling a trailer.

If the vehicle is being operated on snow or ice covered roads the feature may be
disabled if the EBCM determines tire slippage is occurring. The TCM receives
information from the EBCM regarding the calculated slip (Wheel speed sensors
and VSS) If wheel slippage is occurring the TCM will command the transmission
into a higher gear.

6L50/6L90
Introduction (continued)
The 6L50/6L90 transmissions share many parts with the 6L80. This reduces the
production cost of the units and improves serviceability. The diagnostic processes
and tools are also shared between the 6L50, 6L80 and 6L90. The 6L50 and 6L90
are the latest rearwheel drive 6 speeds to be introduced by GM but they certainly
will not be the last. The 6L45 will also make its way shortly into the market place.
Like the 6L50/6L80 and 6L90 the 6L45 will also share the same component
architecture.

Internal Mode Switch Logic
The 6L50/6L90 internal mode switch is mounted to the valve body and it is con-
nected mechanically to the manual valve. Electrically the IMS operates similar to
other GM IMS applications. The TCM sends a bias voltage to the IMS on 4 cir-
cuits, A, B, C, P. Pin N is used for Park/Neutral starting operations and is sup-
plied by the ECM. As the range selector is moved the IMS will ground/un-ground
the circuits or circuit required to indicate the specific manual valve position. By
noting the voltage sequence produced, the TCM will be able to identify the range
that was selected.

Speed Sensors
The speed sensors are “hall effect” style assemblies and are mounted to the con-
trol valve assembly (Valve Body). The TCM provides a signal voltage of 8.3-9.3 volts
for the sensor operation. As the clutch housings rotate the sensors will produce a
square wave signal. The TCM will monitor the frequency of the signal to deter-
mine the input or output speed. Input Speed Sensor signals are generated by the
rotation of the 1-2-3-4 & 3-5-R clutch assemblies and is used to calculate gear
ratio and slip rates. The Output Speed Sensor signal is generated by the rotation
of the Output Ring gear. The OSS is used for indicating Vehicle speed for shift
pattern control as well as Ratio calculations.

6L50/6L90
Shift Solenoid Operation
Shift solenoid and PCS operation is controlled by the TEHCM (TCM). The TCM
regulates the feed voltage to the solenoids to a value between 8.3-9.3V. The TCM
then regulates the current flow through the solenoids. The shift solenoids are
On/Off design with the TCM controlling the power for the solenoid. The pressure
control solenoids are high side PWM controlled. The TCM is over current and
overtemp protected.

Bosch refers to the solenoid’s by their state, NL or NH. Normally High (N.H.) is
used to describe a solenoid that allows pressure to travel to the clutch when the
solenoid is turned off. Normally Low (N.L.) is used to describe a solenoid that
prevents pressure from getting to a clutch when the solenoid is turned off.
The solenoids are protected by the filter plate. The filter plate is housed between
the valve body and the control solenoid valve assembly (TEHCM) and must be
replaced anytime the valve body or control solenoid valve assembly (TEHCM) is
replaced or unbolted from each other. The Filter plate is serviced with the control
solenoid valve assembly (TEHCM) but it must be ordered separately if you are
ordering valve body.

NOTE: If the Control valve body assembly is removed from the


case the support seals located in the case must also be replaced.

Solenoid Cleaning Process
An automated process is available that aids in cleaning debris from the solenoid
assembly. Your scan tool will instruct the TCM (TEHCM) to cycle the solenoids
while the system is pressurized to clean the solenoids. The transmission does not
need to be disassembled to perform the cleaning process. Simply follow the in-
structions on the scan tool to activate the cleaning program. This process should
be completed prior to attempting to diagnose the transmission with part# DT-
47825-1 tools as described below. If the cleaning process is unsuccessful then
you should diagnose the concern with part# DT-47825-1

GENERAL MOTORS 39

6L50/6L90
Solenoid Diagnostics
Like other GM transmissions, diagnosis is designed around the use of a quality
scan tool. With the 6L50/6L90 this could not be more true as the need to access
scan data is critical. Unlike other GM transmissions you have become accus-
tomed to working with over the years, the 6L50/6L90 internal electrical compo-
nents are not hard wired to the rest of the vehicle via the transmission harness.
This means that the diagnostic process has changed considerably. Diagnosis is
divided into 2 categories , scan diagnostics and test plate/air check diagnostics.
Solenoid and valve body diagnosis requires the following tools:

• A quality scan tool capable of communicating and commanding the TCM


and it’s solenoids.
• Tool number DT 47825-1 Solenoid test plate and jumper harness

Remove the Control Solenoid Valve Assembly from the transmission. Install tool
DT 47821-1 onto the Control Solenoid Valve Assembly (5Nm 44 Lb In). Apply
regulated shop air (90-100 psi) to the tool. Connect the scan tool to the Control
Solenoid Valve Assembly.

Command the solenoid ON/OFF air pressure should be present on the gauge and
then it should exhaust as the solenoid is cycled. If the solenoid or valve are mal-
functioning the gauge pressure will not change as you cycle the solenoid. If a
malfunction is determined to be present, replace the complete Control Solenoid
Valve Assembly.

If the solenoid checked OK, install the gauge on another solenoid port and com-
mand that solenoid ON/OFF with the scan to repeat the process.

NOTE: The TCM (TEHCM) will normally cycle several of the


solenoids ON/OFF to help keep the solenoids and the valves free
of debris. Therefore this cleaning function (Dither) may cause the
gauge to flicker when the TCM is cleaning the solenoid you are
testing.

6L50/6L90
Adaptive Learning
The 6L50/6L90 are fully equipped with several adaptive learning strategies. As
with some other GM applications you will need to erase the adaptive values and
perform a “Fast Learn” prior to operating the vehicle. Adapts and fast learn proce-
dures should be perform if any of the following occur:
• Internal Transmission repairs have been performed
• The valve body was replaced
• The Control Solenoid valve assembly was replaced
• The TCM was recalibrated
• Internal repairs were performed that could effect shift quality

NOTE: Fast learn is not required if a GM New or Rebuilt 6L50/


6L90 is used. The transmission is fast learned prior to it being
shipped from the plant

To perform a fast learn:


• Use a scan tool capable of performing the fast learn procedure
• TFT 158-230°F (70-110°C), Move the selector in/out of gear 3 times
• Select the fast learn process from the scan tool menu
• Place the transmission in Drive with the vehicle stationary. The TCM will
individually apply the clutches and calculate the clutch volume· Place the
transmission in Reverse with the vehicle stationary. The TCM will individu-
ally apply the clutches and calculate the clutch volume
• Shut off the engine for at least 30 seconds, open and close the door to allow
“RAP” to expire or false DTC’s may set, After a minimum of 30 seconds the
car can be restarted , power off the scanner
• The process is now complete

The fast learn procedure will not run if:


• DTCs are set
• TFT is not between 158-230 °F (70-110°C)
• The brake switch is not working
• TP is 0% but engine RPM increases during the test
• P/N switch is improperly adjusted or is not functioning correctly
• Line pressure control system is malfunctioning

Input Speed Sensor
The 2005 and 2006 ATRA seminars covered the changes involved with the addi-
tion of the input speed sensor in the 4L60E/65E and 4L70E applications (RPO’s
M30,M32, M33, M70). The input speed sensor was not used on all 2006-2007
applications so some confusion may occur regarding build combinations for these
products. Some of the parts from the ISS equipped applications and a Non ISS
equipped applications cannot be intermixed.

A failure to identify the build combination you are working with may result in line
pressure, TCC and/or Clutch apply/release/cross leak concerns. Five design
variations have occurred between Non ISS applications and the final fully func-
tional ISS applications. These changes include the following:

• Redesigns of the turbine shaft—Repositioning of the seal rings on the shaft,


adding a ISS toothed wheel.

• Redesign of the pump cover- Updating the passage design and passage
position in the stator support sleeve. Adding a boss to the cover for the ISS.

• Shortening the P/R valve train to make room for the input speed sensor
wiring and connector.

• Updating the wiring harness for the input speed sensor.

• Adding DTC’s for ISS diagnostics.

Multiple DTC’s G-Van
Some 1996-2006 G-van (Express/ Savanna) Applications may set various engine
and/or transmission related DTC’s. The DTC’s may vary regarding the number of
DTC’s set, as well as their type and description. The DTC’s may be intermittent in
nature. The type and number of DTC’s set will depend on which and how many
circuits were damaged.

A common cause for this concern is the wiring harness for the PCM. The PCM is
mounted on the driver’s side inner fender well. The harness faces the vehicle
chassis. The steering gear power steering line is designed to be routed under the
PCM harness. If the line is routed on top of the harness or if the clips holding the
harness are missing or broken the harness can contact the frame or upper
control arm leading to harness damage. Repair the damage and reroute the
harness to repair this condition.

Hummer H1 DLC Location
Some confusion has occurred regarding where the DLC is located on the Hummer
H1 application. The DLC location is different depending on the year of the ve-
hicle. On 94-95 applications the DLC is located on top of the drivers side “Hush
Panel”. To access the DLC it may be necessary remove the plastic hush panel to
gain access. Many times the connector is simple laying on top of the panel and
you will need to look for it after you have removed the panel. On some applica-
tions the DLC can be accessed by opening the access door in the hush panel,
sticking your hand up through the access hole to locate the connector.
On 96 -06 applications the DLC is located on the drivers side “A pillar”. The con-
nector can be accessed easily without removing any panels. In many instances
the DLC has been removed from its factory location so a brake controller can be
installed in the factory DLC location. If the DLC is not in the factory location the
hush panel will need to be removed to locate the connector.

4T45E
Updates
Several updates have been made to some 4T45E applications for the 2007 model
year. These updates include:
• A 4-3 downshift solenoid was added
• New spacer plates, valve body and channel plate
• An auxiliary fluid pump was added
• A new design PSM
• 7/8" Drive chain
• 4 new DTC’s were added

A hybrid design vehicle application was released for the 2007 model year which
utilizes the 4T45E transmission. Known as “BAS” (Belt Alternator Starter) the
hybrid design was introduced in the Saturn Vue. Other passenger car models
such as the Malibu are scheduled for release utilizing the same BAS system.

The BAS system utilizes a new type of generator which is also capable of acting as
the vehicle’s starter during specific driving maneuvers. The hybrid applications
are equipped with an AUTO STOP feature to improve fuel economy. To initiate the
auto stop feature simply step on the brake and bring the vehicle to a stop. With
the vehicle stopped, while in OD range the engine will automatically shut off.

This feature will operate unless one of the following conditions occurs:
• The engine/transmission or hybrid battery are not fully warmed up
• Outside temp is above 95°F (35°C) and the A/C or defrost modes are
selected
• The shift lever is in a range other than OD
• The hybrid battery charge is low
• High charging system voltages are required
• The hood is not fully closed

The engine will automatically restart when the brake pedal is released and the
accelerator pedal is depressed. The engine may also automatically restart if any
of the following occur:
• The shifter is moved from OD to Park, Neutral, Intermediate, Low or Reverse
• The A/C mode is selected
• The hybrid battery charge is low
• The auto stop time exceeds 2 minutes

Updates (continued)
Case Assembly
The case was updated to house a new auxiliary pump. The new case casting
includes a new line pressure tap, a feed boss for the pump and 4 mounting holes
on the side of the case for the pump. A line connects the pump to the line pres-
sure feed on the side of the case. The line contains a cartridge check valve to
prevent drain back. The pump is required to prevent the transmission from drop-
ping out of gear when the vehicle is in auto stop. The pump will run anytime
auto stop is active, once the engine starts running the pump will be shut off. The
updated case is not interchangeable with Non BAS applications.

BAS (Belt Alternator Starter)


The BAS system utilizes a new design spacer plate, channel plate and valve body.
The new plate is a bonded design and is used for BAS equipped transmissions.
The updated channel plate and valve body are designed for the BAS applications.
The updated plate, channel plate and valve body are not interchangeable with
Non BAS applications.

PSA
The BAS designed pressure switch assembly is color coded to prevent interchange
problems. It contains an additional pressure switch (PRND4). The PRNDL pres-
sure switch lets the TCM know when the driver commands neutral. This logic is
used by the TCM to prevent a false pump DTC from setting. The updated PSM is
not interchangeable with Non BAS applications.

4-3 Downshift Solenoid


A 4-3 downshift solenoid was added to the BAS applications. The solenoid is
mounted to the channel plate. The solenoid is designed to improve the 4-3 down-
shift by delaying the pressure to the coast clutch during a manual shift. (Pre-
vents tie up with band is coming off and clutch is coming on) During a 4-3 shift
the solenoid is energized (ON). During all other shifts the solenoid is de-ener-
gized (OFF).

Drive Chain
An update to the drive chain occurred. The new chain is 7/8" wide and is made
of 8600 grade material. A 32/38 drive and driven sprocket ratio is used with this
chain application.

6T70/6T75 Ford 6F55


Introduction
The first in a series of new 6 speed front wheel drive transmissions was
introduced for the 2007 model year. The 6T70 and 6T75 entered into the GM
lineups with several vehicles such as the Saturn Aura, Pontiac G6 for the car
lines, and the GMC Acadia and Saturn Outlook in the truck lines. This
generation of transmissions was co-developed with Ford and will enter the Ford
line up with the model name 6F55. Many but not all of the components are
shared between the Ford and GM versions of the transmissions. By co-developing
the transmission R&D costs were significantly reduced.

The 6T70/6T75 improve fuel economy and average of 4 % while performance was
improved 8% on average. The 6T70/6T75 share the same architecture and most of
the parts are the same. The primary difference is the 6T75 is a heavy duty version
of the 6T70. The heavy duty parts in the 6T75 include:

• A shot peened output carrier


• 5 Pinion carrier
• Transfer Gear is wider
• Differential carrier is heavier duty
• Heavier ribbed case

Speed Sensor
The speed sensors are “hall effect” style assemblies. The input speed sensor is
mounted externally in the case side cover next to the line pressure tap. The out-
put speed sensor is mounted under the valve body in the case. The TCM provides
a signal voltage of 8.3-9.3 volts for the sensor operation.

The TCM will monitor the frequency of the signal to determine the input or out-
put speed. Input Speed Sensor signals are generated by the rotation of the 3-5-
R/4-5-6 clutch assemblies and are used to calculate gear ratio and slip rates. The
Output Speed Sensor signal is generated by the rotation of the transfer gear. The
OSS is used for indicating Vehicle speed for shift pattern control as well as Ratio
calculations.

Shift Solenoid Operation
Shift solenoid and PCS operation is controlled by the TEHCM (TCM). The TCM
regulates the feed voltage to the solenoids to a value between 8.3-9.3V. The TCM
then regulates the current flow through the solenoids. The shift solenoids are
On/Off design with the TCM controlling the power for the solenoid. The pressure
control solenoids are high side PWM controlled. The TCM is over current and
overtemp protected.

Bosch refers to the solenoid’s by their state, NL or NH. Normally High (N.H.) is
used to describe a solenoid that allows pressure to travel to the clutch when the
solenoid is turned off. Normally Low (N.L.) is used to describe a solenoid that
prevents pressure from getting to a clutch when the solenoid is turned off.
The solenoids are protected by the filter plate. The filter plate is housed between
the valve body and the control solenoid valve assembly (TEHCM) and must be
replaced anytime the valve body or control solenoid valve assembly (TEHCM) is
replaced or unbolted from each other. The Filter plate is serviced with the control
solenoid valve assembly (TEHCM) but it must be ordered separately if you are
ordering a valve body.

NOTE: If the Control valve body assembly is removed from the case the support
seal located in the case must also be replaced.

Solenoid Cleaning Process
An automated process is available that aids in cleaning debris from the solenoid
assembly. Your scan tool will instruct the TCM (TEHCM) to cycle the solenoids
while the system is pressurized to clean the solenoids. The transmission does not
need to be disassembled to perform the cleaning process. Simply follow the in-
structions on the scan tool to activate the cleaning program. This process should
be completed prior to attempting to diagnose the transmission with the DT-
47825-1 tools as described below. If the cleaning process is unsuccessful then
you should diagnose the concern with DT-47825-1

Solenoid Diagnostics
Like other GM transmissions, diagnosis is designed around the use of a quality
scan tool. With the 6T70/6T75 this could not be more true as the need to access
scan data is critical. Unlike other GM transmissions you have become accus-
tomed to working with over the years, the 6T70/6T75 internal electrical compo-
nents are not hard wired to the rest of the vehicle via the transmission harness.
This means that the diagnostic process has changed considerably. Diagnosis is
divided into 2 categories, scan diagnostics and test plate/air check diagnostics.
Solenoid and valve body diagnosis requires the following tools:
• A quality scan tool capable of communicating and commanding the
TCM and its solenoids.
• Tool number DT 47825-1 Solenoid test plate and jumper harness
DT47825-20

Remove the Control Solenoid Valve Assembly from the transmission. Install tool
DT 47821-1 onto the Control Solenoid Valve Assembly (5Nm 44 Lb In). Apply
regulated shop air (90-100 psi) to the tool. Connect the scan tool to the Control
Solenoid Valve Assembly.

Command the solenoid ON/OFF air pressure should be present on the gauge and
then it should exhaust as the solenoid is cycled. If the solenoid or valve are mal-
functioning the gauge pressure will not change as you cycle the solenoid. If a
malfunction is determined to be present, replace the complete Control Solenoid
Valve Assembly.

If the solenoid checked OK, install the gauge on another solenoid port and com-
mand that solenoid ON/OFF with the scan to repeat the process.

NOTE: If the solenoid or valve is malfunctioning the gauge


pressure will not change as you cycle the solenoid. If a
malfunction is determined to be present, replace the complete
Control Solenoid Valve Assembly (TEHCM)

NOTE: The TCM (TEHCM) will normally cycle several of the


solenoids ON/OFF to help keep the solenoids and the valves free
of debris. Therefore this cleaning function (Dither) may cause the
gauge to flicker when the TCM is cleaning the solenoid you are
testing.

some other GM applications you will need to erase the adaptive values and per-
form a “Fast Learn” prior to operating the vehicle. Adapts and fast learn proce-
dures should be performed if any of the following occur:
• Internal Transmission repairs have been performed
• The valve body was replaced
• The Control Solenoid valve assembly was replaced
• The TCM was recalibrated
• Internal repairs were performed that could effect shift quality

NOTE: Fast learn is not required if a GM New or GM Rebuilt 6T70/6T75 is used.


The transmission is fast learned prior to it being shipped from the plant

To perform a fast learn:


• Use a scan tool capable of performing the fast learn procedure
• TFT 158-230°F (70-110°C), Move the selector in/out of gear 3 times
• Select the fast learn process from the scan tool menu
• Place the transmission in Drive with the vehicle stationary. The TCM will
individually apply the clutches and calculate the clutch volume· Place the
transmission in Reverse with the vehicle stationary. The TCM will individu
ally apply the clutches and calculate the clutch volume
• Shut off the engine for at least 30 seconds, open and close the door to allow
“RAP” to expire or false DTC’s may set, After a minimum of 30 seconds the
car can be restarted , power off the scanner
• The process is now complete

The fast learn procedure will not run if:


• DTC’s are set
• TFT is not between 158-230 °F (70-110°C)
• The brake switch is not working
• TP is 0% but engine RPM increases during the test
• P/N switch is improperly adjusted or is not functioning correctly
• Line pressure control system is malfunctioning

New Service Manual


Process
For 25 years General Motors and the aftermarket service manual providers have
used a specific format for their service manuals for all applications.
Starting with the 2006 model year, GM will roll out a new format as well as a new
process that must be followed to diagnose GM vehicles. This process is likely to be
adopted by most if not all of the aftermarket manual providers. The new format is
being introduced on 3 models, Y- car (Corvette, XLR) W- car (Impala/Monte Carlo
and D-car (Cadillac STS). Known as the “Global Service Information system” the
manual and its format will change how you, the technician, use the manual. The
changes include:
• Moving several items into different sections. Examples include moving
cruise control operation from the engine section to the accessories section.
Moving the Power take off section from the Accessories section to the
Transmission section. Moving the transfer cases from the driveline/axle
section to the transmission section. Several other sections as well as
subsections have been relocated above and beyond those mentioned above.
• Eliminating diagnostic DTC charts/tables as you currently know them.
• Reducing redundancy by eliminating duplication of material from one
section to another section
• Fewer words but more information
• Rather than explaining exactly how to do a specific test, the manual will
simply tell you to do the test, with the expectation that you know how to do
the test.

This new format will require the technician to be more technically competent.
The technician will need to understand this new format to effectively repair the
vehicle. The process is designed to be broken down into 3 steps:
• Circuit/system description
• Circuit/system testing
• Component testing
Unlike the previous design, the new format does not force the technician down
a specific path, but rather it allows the technician to decide where to go. This
simply means it is more important than ever for the technician to have a
through understanding regarding “theory of operation”.

The following is an example of the new format:

New Service Manual


Process (continued)
Circuit/System Description

The line pressure control (PC) solenoid is part of the control solenoid (w/body and
TCM) valve assembly and is not serviced separately. The line PC solenoid regulates
the transmission fluid line pressure. The TCM varies the current to the normally high
line PC solenoid valve from 0.1 amp for maximum line pressure, to 1.1 amps for
minimum line pressure. This is accomplished by varying the desired line pressure in
kPa (psi)

Conditions for Running the DTC

• The engine run time is greater than 5 seconds.


• The line PC solenoid is commanded ON or OFF.

DTC P0961
DTC P0961 is not failed this ignition.

NOTE: The manual gives you a brief description of operation. It then lists the
factors needed to set the DTC’s.

DTC P0962
DTC P0962 is not failed this ignition.

DTC P0963
DTC P0963 is not failed this ignition.

Conditions for Setting DTC P0961


The TCM detects an internal electrical performance malfunction of the line PC
solenoid control circuit and the actual line pressure does not equal the com-
manded line pressure for 300 milliseconds.
The TCM detects an internal low voltage electrical malfunction of the line PC
solenoid control circuit for 300 milliseconds.

New Service Manual


Process (continued)
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P0962

• DTC P0962 is a Type A DTC.


• The TCM defaults the transmission to 3rd gear if the current gear is 1st, 2nd, or
3rd, or 5th gear if the current gear if 4th, 5th, or 6th gear.
• The TCM inhibits the torque converter clutch (TCC).
• The TCM commands maximum line pressure.
• The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions.

DTC P0961, P0963

• DTCs P0961 and P0963 are Type C DTCs.


• The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions.

Conditions for Clearing the DIC/DTC


NOTE: DTC default information, the criteria for clearing the DTC
as well as information to aid with diagnosis is included.
• DTCs P0961 and P0963 are Type C DTCs.
• DTC P0962 is a Type A DTC.

Diagnostic Aids

When attempting to set solenoid electrical DTCs, ensure the TCM is warmed up and
the transmission is operated in 2nd gear long enough to ensure a 3°C (5°F) increase
in TCM substrate temperature. This will place the TCM under the optimal conditions
to test solenoid electrical DTCs.

TCC Operation
The Computer can operate the TCC in all Forward range positions. This diagram
shows the valves in the lock up off position. The TCC solenoid is a normally OPEN
pulse width modulating solenoid that is fed main line oil in all ranges.

© 2007 ATRA. All Rights Reserved.


FORD 87

TorqShift
TCC Operation (continued)
When the computer commands the solenoid to start modulating, the solenoid
pushes the valve up and exhausts the oil from the front of the Converter Clutch
allowing it to lock-up. This diagram shows the valves in the lock up on position

88 FORD

TorqShift
No Lock-Up Before or After Rebuild
It is very important to be absolutely sure this orifice is clear of debris, if this pas-
sage is clogged, main line pressure can’t get to the TCC solenoid. This will prevent
the TCC from locking-up and cause a number of codes that associate to TCC
operation.

Lock-Up Test Tool
You have built the transmission the best you can and it wont lock up, now what?
Simple: build a lock up tool. This tool will tell you absolutely that your Torque
converter and pump are working correctly.

Bend the 4 tabs out to remove the solenoid parts.

Carefully pull the solenoid apart. It’s not necessary to remove the allen screw and
spring from the tip of the solenoid.

TorqShift
Lock-Up Test Tool (continued)
Secure the solenoid plunger to the Snout of the solenoid with a small hose clamp.
Be sure the screw portion of the hose clamp is aligned with flat on the solenoid
snout. If its not aligned properly it will not fit into the solenoid body

FORD 91

TorqShift
Lock-Up Test Tool (continued)
Remove existing TCC solenoid and install the tool as shown. Put the pan back on
and fill with fluid.

CAUTION!
This will cause the TCC to be engaged in all ranges. If the TCC and the pump are
operating properly the transmission will kill the engine right away. Engaging the
transmission with the TCC on will be very hard on the new TCC lining, so keep
this test to a minimum.

P1744 TCC Performance
This truck was setting a code 1744 TCC performance. This truck also had very
little if any lock up feel to it at all. The problem was a misplaced retainer clip.
Turns out the rebuilder had pushed the sleeve in one land too far.

TCC Stuck On
Before or after the rebuild and the TCC is on all the time killing the engine. We
can modify a solenoid so that no oil is fed to the TCC control valve. If the TCC still
locks up then we KNOW that this is going to be a hard part issue. This test will
completely block oil from getting to the TCC solenoid.

Cooling and Filtration
The transmission fluid cooling system is one of the most critical areas in the
transmission repair process. Any amount of debris left in this system can and will
find its way back into the transmission and most critically into the super sensitive
solenoids.

Delayed Forward Engagements
The Forward Clutch is NOT controlled by a solenoid. The drum is fed main line oil
directly from the Manual Valve. If a delayed engagement is felt, check the main

TorqShift
Delayed Reverse Engagement
In the Reverse position the Direct Clutch and the Low/Reverse Clutch are fed

Erratic Shifts and/or Early and Late
Shifts
We have many complaints of shift timing issues or simply shifts that “feel funny”.
Many of these problems have been taken care of by disconnecting the battery or
batteries. This will reset the Keep Alive Memory (KAM) and reset the computer
back to its base settings.

It is a good practice to recalibrate the PCM to the latest level of calibration,


particulary when hard parts have been replaced.

Transmission Description
This transmission has an internal thermal bypass valve contained within the case.
The thermal bypass valve will not allow the use of any type of transmission fluid
exchange machine to be used on this transmission.

This transmission uses planetary gears with hydraulic electronic controls. The
transmission control module (TCM) and the main control valve body units form a
composite element that is installed as a single unit inside the automatic trans-
mission.

This transmission has the following features:


• Six forward speeds
• Torque converter with an integral converter clutch
• Electronic shift and pressure controls
• Single planetary gear set
• Double planetary gear set
• Two fixed multi-disc clutches
• Three multi-plate clutches

All hydraulic functions are directed by electronic solenoids to control:


• Engagement feel
• Shift feel
• Shift scheduling
• Modulated torque converter clutch (TCC) applications

This transmission has a mechatronic unit also refereed to as a TCM which con-
tains:
• Turbine shaft speed (TSS) sensor
• Output shaft speed (OSS) sensor
• An internal P, R, N, D selector shaft position sensor
• Transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor

FORD 121

6R60
Transmission Description
Engine power reaches the transmission by a torque converter with an integral
converter clutch. The 6 forward gears and one reverse gear are obtained from
single planetary sets.

This automatic transmission is a 6-speed electronically controlled transmission


comprising the basic elements of a TCM, main control valve body unit, torque
converter, one solenoid valve and 6 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 man-
agement (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 P, R, N
and D are retained. Also 3rd or 5th gear is retained by the hydraulic system. The
gear retained is dependent upon the gear selected at the time of the failure.

FNR5
Transmission Description
The FNR5 is a fully automatic, electronically controlled 5-speed transmission
designed for front-wheel drive vehicles. Built for the Ford Fusion.

Its abbreviated designation FNR5 means:


• FN – front-wheel drive
• R – Model designation
• 5 – 5-speed transmission

© 2007 ATRA. All Rights Reserved.


FORD 123

FNR5
Transmission Description
The individual ratios are achieved through 2 planetary gear sets, connected one
behind the other.

The individual components of the planetary gear sets are driven or held by means
of 3 multi-plate clutches, a multi-plate brake, a brake band and a roller one-way
clutch. The torque is transmitted to the final drive assembly through an interme-
diate gear stage.

FNR5 Automatic Transmission Fluid is the fluid specified for the FNR5 transaxle.
The fluid is changed as directed by the Scheduled Maintenance Guide that is
supplied with the vehicle.

The default gear for this transaxle is 3rd gear.

To minimize fuel consumption, the torque converter lock-up clutch is closed by


the transmission control module (TCM) in 3rd, 4th and 5th gears depending on the
throttle position and the vehicle speed.

The transmission has electronic synchronous shift control (ESSC), which guaran-
tees extremely smooth gear shifting over the entire life of the transmission.

A hydraulic emergency operating program maintains limited operation in the


event of failure of important electrical components.

The transmission can be tested using a diagnostic tool through the data link
connector (DLC) in the passenger compartment.

The tranmission also has it’s own fluid part # XT-9-QMM5

Lever Positions and Operations
Manual selector lever position “P”
In manual selector lever position “P”, no gear is selected. The parking pawl is
engaged manually by the manual selector lever cable and the shift shaft.

For safety reasons, always apply the parking brake whenever the vehicle is
parked.

Manual selector lever position “R”


In manual selector lever position “R”, reverse gear is selected. REVERSE allows
the vehicle to be operated in a rearward direction, at a reduced gear ratio.

Manual selector lever position “N”


In manual selector lever position “N”, no gear is selected. The driveline is not
locked, so the wheels are free to rotate.

The vehicle may be started in NEUTRAL.

Manual selector lever position “D”


In manual selector lever position “D”, the transmission control allows all the gears
to be selected.

Manual selector lever position “L”


In manual selector lever position “L”, the transaxle provides more engine braking
when the accelerator pedal is released than in “D”.

If the manual selector lever is moved to position “L” at an excessive vehicle speed
for 1st gear, the transmission control only allows the downshift to take place when
the corresponding vehicle speed has been reached.

FNR5
Valve Body
The valve body contains 8 solenoid valves:
• Three pulse width modulation (PWM) solenoid valves
• Three shift solenoid (on/off) valves
• Two main regulating valve pressure control solenoids

The individual clutches and bands are supplied pressure from the PWM solenoid
valves and the shift solenoid (on/off) valves and thus the gears are shifted.

The PWM solenoid valves allow direct actuation of the clutches and bands to make
sure of extremely smooth gear shifting through precise pressure regulation.

The shift solenoid (on/off) valves switch the hydraulic path to the clutches and
bands, reducing the number of required modulating valves.

The main regulating valve (variable force solenoid) makes sure that sufficient
hydraulic pressure is available in all operating conditions.

Valve Body (continued)
1. PWM solenoid valves
PWM solenoid valves control the pressure to the bands and clutches.

2. Shift solenoid (on/off) valves


The shift solenoid (on/off) valves switch the different oil passages in the valve body
to direct the pressure to the individual clutches and bands.

The shift solenoid valves are needed for direct actuation of the individual clutches
and bands.

3. Main regulating valve pressure control solenoid


The main regulating valve (pressure control solenoids) control the required main
line pressure for the individual transmission ranges.

The main line pressure is controlled dependent on the current engine load.

TCM
The TCM is located under the instrument panel on the LH side. On vehicles with
automatic transmissions, the TCM controls the transmission. In this case, a mod-
ule with 16- and 24-pin connectors are used.

The TCM evaluates the incoming signals from the individual sensors and actuates
the solenoid valves in the valve body of the transmission directly according to the
operating state.

Diagnostic checks can be carried out on the transmission through the data link
connector (DLC) above the central junction box (CJB).

Emergency Operating Program


If the correct gear shifting can no longer be guaranteed due to failure of certain
signals, the TCM changes to an emergency operating program.

The driver is informed of the operation of the emergency operating program by


the illumination of the powertrain warning indicator in the instrument cluster.

Continued motoring is guaranteed in the following limited conditions:


• Maximum main line pressure
• 3rd gear in manual selector lever positions “D”, “2” and “1” without the
torque converter clutch
• Reverse gear in manual selector lever position “R”

Electronic Synchronous Shift
Control (ESSC)
Control of Shift Operations
During a shift operation certain elements are released while others are actuated.
Ideally, this process takes place simultaneously (synchronously) to avoid jerky
gear shifting.

The time for the shift operation should remain within the time limits provided.

When the shift operation is controlled conventionally, the pressure buildup and
reduction at the shift elements are set and defined for ideal conditions (synchro-
nous shifting).

As there is no way of influencing the control in the event of different levels of wear
in the shift elements, when the transmission has been used for a fairly high
mileage it is possible that the pressure buildup and reduction may no longer be
synchronous.

The result of premature pressure reduction at the element to be switched OFF is


an unwanted rise in the turbine shaft speed as the element to be switched ON
cannot transmit the input torque.

The result of delayed pressure reduction at the element to be switched OFF is an


unwanted decrease in the turbine shaft speed as both shift elements transmit the
input torque. In the process the torque is transmitted to the transmission hous-
ing through internal locking.

In both cases a jerk will be felt during the shift operation.

In addition, wear in the shift elements leads to a lengthening of the shift opera-
tion. Therefore, shifting takes longer when the transmission has accumulated a
higher mileage.

Electronic Synchronous Shift
Control (ESSC)
Control of Shift Operations with ESSC
In the automatic transmission, electronic synchronous shift control (ESSC) is
used.

ESSC monitors the shift operations and is able to adapt to the wear in the shift
elements over the life of the transmission.

This is possible since the shift elements are actuated by modulating valves.

The system monitors the shift time whether the shift operation is synchronous.

If the TCM detects a deviation from the stored values for the shift time and syn-
chronization of the shift operation, the pressure buildup or reduction is adapted
accordingly.

Inputs
Throttle position (TP) sensor
The throttle position (TP) sensor is located on the throttle body. It supplies infor-
mation to the PCM about the position of the throttle plate. The TCM receives the
signal from the PCM. It also detects the speed of actuation of the throttle plate.
The TCM uses the following functions, among other things:
• To determine the shift timing.
• To control the main line pressure
• To control the torque converter clutch

For kickdown in case of absence of the TP signal, the engine control uses the
signals of the Mass Air Flow (MAF) and Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensors as a
substitute signal. The main line pressure is increased and hard shifts may occur.

Mass air flow (MAF) and intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor is located between the air cleaner housing and
the air intake hose leading to the throttle housing. The intake air temperature
(IAT) sensor is incorporated in the housing of the MAF sensor.

The MAF sensor, in conjunction with the IAT sensor, provides the PCM with the
primary load signal. The TCM receives the signals from the PCM and uses them
for the following functions, among other things:
• To control the shift operations
• To control the main line pressure

If the MAF sensor fails, the signal of the throttle position (TP) sensor is used as a
substitute.
Crankshaft position (CKP) sensor
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is located on the engine/transmission
flange. The CKP sensor is an inductive sensor which provides the PCM with infor-
mation about the engine speed and position of the crankshaft.

The TCM receives the signals from the PCM and uses them for the following func-
tions among other things:
• To control the torque converter clutch
• To check the torque converter slip
• To control the main line pressure

No substitute signal is available for the CKP sensor. If the signal is not present,
the engine stops.

TR Sensor, TFT Sensor
TR Sensor
The transmission range (TR) sensor is located on the manual shaft on the trans-
mission housing. When the manual shaft engagement pin, located in the inner
ring of the TR sensor, moves through the different positions. The signals are
transmitted to the TCM, the reversing lamps and the starter inhibitor relay.

NOTE: Correct operation of the TR sensor is only guaranteed when the manual
selector lever cable is adjusted correctly.

The signals of the TR sensor are used for the following functions:
• To recognize the manual selector lever position
• To actuate the starter inhibitor relay
• To actuate the reversing lamps

No substitute signal is available for the TR sensor.

If the connection is cut, the vehicle cannot be started.

TFT Sensor
The transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor is located on the internal wiring
harness to the solenoid valves in the fluid pan. It is a resistor and measures the
transmission fluid temperature.

The transmission fluid temperature is used by the TCM for the following func-
tions:
• Applying the torque converter clutch is not permitted until the
transmission fluid reaches a certain temperature.

• Engagement of 4th gear is prevented in extreme sub-zero temperatures until


the normal operating temperature is reached.

• If the transmission fluid temperature is excessive, a pre-set fixed shift curve


is selected and the torque converter clutch is closed in “2”, “3”, “4” and “5”;
of the transmission warning indicator is activated. No substitute signal is
available for the TFT sensor.

FNR5
Speed Sensors
Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) Sensor
The Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) sensor is located in the transmission housing over
the transmission input shaft. The TSS sensor is an inductive sensor which senses
the speed of rotation of the transmission input shaft.

The signal is used for the following functions:


• To control the shift operations
• To control the torque converter clutch
• To check the torque converter slip

If the TSS sensor fails, the signal of the output shaft speed (OSS) sensor is used
as a substitute signal.
Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor
The Intermediate Shaft Speed (ISS) sensor is located in the transmission housing
over the transmission intermediate shaft. The intermediate shaft speed sensor is
an inductive sensor which senses the speed of rotation of the transmission input
shaft.
The signal is used for the following functions:
• To determine the shift timing
• To control the shift operations
• To control the torque converter clutch

If the intermediate shaft speed sensor fails, the signal of the output shaft speed
and turbine shaft speed sensors is used as a substitute signal.

Output shaft speed (OSS) sensor


The output shaft speed (OSS) sensor is located in the transmission housing above
the rotor in the differential.

The OSS sensor is an inductive sensor which detects the vehicle speed by means
of a rotor on the differential.

The signal is used for the following functions among other things:
• To determine the shift timing
• To supply the vehicle speed input signal for the TCM

If the OSS sensor fails, the signal of the TSS sensor is used as a substitute signal.

New Solenoid Assembly
This kit contains the following 45RFE/545RFE transmission components:

Kit P/N 68002342AB (1999-2003) contains the following 45FRE/454RFE


transmission components:
1 Solenoid assembly 52119435AB
1 TRS cam plate assembly 04799654AC

Kit P/N 05170877AC (2004-2006) contains the following 45RFE/545RFE


transmission components
1 Solenoid assembly 52119435AB

A “quiet” (NVH) solenoid assembly was released for 2004 MY (and later) RFE
transmissions. This new solenoid requires a revised TRS cam plate assembly,
which includes a deeper “trough” for TRS pin clearance in the Reverse PRNDL
position. The “deep trough” cam plate assembly (04799654AC) has also been in
production since 2004 MY.

A new version of the NVH solenoid (52119435AB) may now be used to service
prior model (1999-2003) transmissions, ONLY if the “deep trough” cam plate
assembly is installed along with the solenoid.

Using the new NVH solenoid (52119435AB) with the original (1999-2003) cam
plate assembly may result in improper (intermittent or no) backup light function.
Using the previous NVH solenoid (52119435AA) in 1999-2003 MY transmissions,
EVEN WITH the new cam plate assembly, may cause invalid DTCs, limp-in, etc.
and is not allowed. The “deep trough” cam plate assembly may be used with any
style solenoid in any MY.

This kit contains the new NVH solenoid and the “deep trough” cam plate
assembly. When servicing 1999-2003 MY transmissions, install BOTH
components from this kit as a set. The solenoid in this kit may be used
individually ONLY in 2004 MY and later transmissions. Both parts in this kit are
also available as a separate service parts for use in 2004 MY and later units.

Stalls the Engine in Drive
A missing #4 CK Ball will cause the oil in the O/D Circuit to leak into the switch
valve circuit (following page).

Off the manual valve, oil feed that is normally blocked by the #4 check ball feeds
into the O/D circuit. This oil ends up between the switch valve pucks forcing
them to separate and move the solenoid switch valve into the TCC position. This
causes the L/R sol signal oil to feed the Converter Clutch Regulator Valve causing
the TCC to apply.

Governor Diagnosis
Finally, a complete guide to the RE Series electronic Governor diagnosis.

Although the system seem complex, it truly is not. With a brief understanding of
each of the circuits as inputs we can understand how the computer responds in
controlling the regulation of Governor pressure. The system hydraulically is basi-
cally the same as the RH (mechanical governor) when it controls movement of the
shift valves. Line oil feeds the governor solenoid and is converted into governor
pressure as the module regulates flow through voltage control.

Governor Diagnosis (continued)
Pressure testing the Governor: Chrysler uses a series of 6 tests to check the
hydraulic circuits in the transmission. The governor test is 5 in the order. When
testing, remember that governor pressure is used to move shift valves, (electroni-
cally controlled) = road speed (diesel higher than road speed after 20 mph). Must
be less than 5 psi standing still!

Test 5
Checks governor operation by measuring governor pressure response to change
in wheel speed (signaled by the OSS). It is usually not necessary to check gover-
nor operation unless shift speeds are incorrect or if the transmission will not
downshift.

Governor Port - 0-100 psi gauge


Drive vehicle on the road (important, make sure that the hose will not hit against
anything as the vehicle is being driven.)
Idle in drive - Less than 3 psi.

Slowly increase vheicle speed. Pressure should rise in proportion of vehicle speed.
Diesel applications will increase in a higher increment above 20 mph (almost
doubling wheel speed).

RPM sensor is a typical Hall-Effect sensor that sends a pulse signal to the module
in reference to engine RPM is. The sensor can be located in a wide range of areas
from the front of engine such as a Diesel which is mounted in the side of the
engine block reading a pulse wheel mounted onto the crank shaft. Signal voltage
is similar to Vehicle Speed signal.

Temperature Sensors (ECT & TFT)
These sensors are variable resistance sensors. As fluid temperatures increase and
decreases a signal voltage wire advises the module as to what the temperature is.
Early sensors had a decrease in resistance as temperature increased and starting
in 2000 on the transmission sensor it was opposite. Resistance increases as tem-
perature increases. Very important DO NOT mix these sensors up. Earlier years
these signals helped to determine when the transmission could go into TCC and
OD. With the RE units these signals are still important for TCC and OD but also
for governor control (part of the governor curve strategies). The TOT sensor origi-
nally was riveted to the solenoid block (1993 1/2). Because of ease in manufac-
turing and sharing the ground circuit with the transducer, the sensor was moved
into the governor sensor.

Park Neutral Switch
This is a safety switch that allows the vehicle to be started in Park and Neutral.
Other responsibilities of the switch are to supply a signal voltage to the reverse
lights and also to inform the module when the shifter has been moved from park
or neutral into drive range. In Park and Neutral signal voltage in low (grounded)
in Reverse and Drive ranges the signal voltage is high (battery voltage) allowing
the computer to recognize forward movement and governor control. If the module
does not get a correct signal from this switch, governor control is prevented as
well as shifts into OD and TCC.

Quick Reference Signal Voltages for
Governor Control
Note: When doing electrical testing, save yourself valuable time. Always discon-
nect and clean battery terminals before doing any electrical testing.

At that time confirm that battery surface voltage is at least 12.45 volts (70% capac-
ity of battery ability). Any ground locations, make sure that there is no voltage in
the ground wires (redundant visible grounds).

For testing, it is important to know that volt meter leads will be moved for testing.
All controller tests with the exception of two (2) of the tests will be done with the
negative lead of the DVOM on the negative battery post and the module will be
back probed with the positive lead.

The governor solenoid test will be done with the positive (+) lead of the DVOM on
the positive battery post and the module will be back probed with the negative
lead to determine the working voltage on the governor solenoid. The output speed
sensor (AC generator) will need both the DVOM leads on the two (2) computer
wires recieving a signal from this sensor. Important, this is AC voltage.

Keep alive battery voltage should not be below 12.45 volts. Running voltages need
to be no more than 14.6 volts (generally around 13.2). Computer grounds must
have no more than 0.02 volts. Sensor grounds can be a little higher than system
grounds about 0.04. The Switches change state when a button is pushed (OD
Cancel). Normally there is voltage at the computer pin for the switch, and when
switch is pushed (grounded) voltage will be pulled low and then will return to
system voltage when released.

TCC and OD Solenoids Both the TCC and OD Solenoids will have battery voltage
present up to the point that the module supplies the ground to energize the
solenoid. At this point, voltage will be pulled low as the solenoid is turned ON.

62TE
Introduction
In total, the 62TE provides seven forward ratios and one reverse.

The underdrive compounder assembly has two modes of operation: Direct and
Reduction.

The 2-3, 3-2, and 4-2 shifts require a “double swap” shift. This occurs when two
elements are turned off while two different elements are engaged.

The clutch-to-clutch synchronization takes place within 40 – 70 milliseconds,


producing a smooth shift. If the underdrive compounder assembly shifts too early
(in relation to the shifts taking place in the main centerline), a shudder or harsh
shift results. If the underdrive assembly shifts to late, the driver experiences a
“double bump” sensation.

To avoid a double swap shift in a 6-4 downshift, the transaxle shifts into 4th prime,
which requires the deactivation of the OD clutch and the simultaneous
application of the UD clutch.

Solenoid ID and Function
The 62TE transaxle has eight solenoids. Six solenoids use ON/OFF or PWM op-
eration and are part of the solenoid/pressure switch assembly. The TCC solenoid
has a VFS design and is mounted on the solenoid/pressure switch assembly. The
PCS mounts on the valve body and is a separate component.

In the event of a transmission/transaxle electrical fault, a “limp-in” mode proce-


dure is programmed in the transmission controller. To achieve “limp-in” mode,
the normally applied 2/4 and UD solenoids only allow fluid flow to obtain Park,
Reverse, Neutral and Third in Drive.

Scan Tool and Network


Communication Essentials
Make sure your scan tool software and hardware are up to date.
Valuable time can be wasted trying to diagnose a scan tool communication prob-
lem only to find out you don’t have the necessary scan tool software updates or
adapters required to communicate with the vehicle.

Get a backup scan tool.


It’s a good idea to have a back up scan tool. You never know, your scan tool can
break down, or get broken, and leave you without the key piece of diagnostic
equipment necessary to diagnose todays vehicles. It also helps to have a scan tool
from a different manufacturer to give yourself some diversity in your diagnostic
arsenal.

A module needs three basic things to communicate properly.


1. Power (both keep alive power and switched ignition power) and ground.
2. Connection to functioning network circuits.
3. Other modules on the network to talk with.

Grounds are very critical, especially in a single wire network.


Network communication is done by each module translating binary information
(1’s and 0’s) into voltage levels. With a single wire network or data link, each
module compares the network voltage to ground in order to tell the 1’s and 0’s
apart and ‘read’ the data on the network. If modules have significantly different
ground voltages, they won’t be able to communicate.

Check for vehicle software updates.


Again, much time can be wasted diagnosing a network communication problem
when the manufacturer has a software update to address the problem.

• Single wire network.
• Used for both scan tool and inter-module communication.
• When data is transmitted voltage toggles from 0-7 volts.
• A Daimler-Chrysler vehicle can have either PCI or CCD bus network, but not
both.
• PCI is typically not used for scan tool communication with the PCM, SCI is used
instead.
A short anywhere in the network will disable all communication. An open will
disable communication between modules on either side of the fault location.

Consider the scan tool as just another module on the network. If the whole net-
work is down, you will have no scan tool communication. If there is an open
between scan tool and another module, you will not be able to communicate
with that module.

• Tachometer and engine gauge data comes from the engine control module.
• Speedometer and gear position indicator data comes from the transmission

• SCI Transmit circuit was designed to also work with ISO 9141 in generic
mode, to make CCD bus equipped vehicles OBDII compliant.
• SCI Transmit is 0 volts until scan tool is plugged in. Scan tool will usually
default to 12 volt bias on SCI Transmit circuit until vehicle information is
entered into scan tool and PCM is selected. SCI transmit will then switch to
5 volt bias.
• SCI Recieve will have 5 volt bias without scan tool plugged in.
• SCI Transmit and SCI recieve independently toggle 0-5 volts during data
transmission.

SCAN TOOL COMMUNICATION
204
AND NETWORK DIAGNOSTICS

CAN

CAN (Controller Area Network) is the new standard scan tool communication link
required on all 2007 and newer vehicles.

Auto manufacturers started phasing in CAN diagnostic link in 2003.


• Two wire (twisted pair) differential bus
• May be wired as a parallel or series bus configuration.
• Used for both inter-module and scan tool communication.
• Not fault tolerant. A short or open in CAN HI or CAN LO circuit will stop all
communication.
• When data is transmitted CAN HI toggles between 2.5 and 3.7 volts,
CAN LO toggles between 2.5 and 1.2 volts (CAN HI and CAN LO waveforms
are mirror images of each other).

SCAN TOOL COMMUNICATION
206
AND NETWORK DIAGNOSTICS

CAN
Interface
If you are using a “stand alone” type scan tool (NOT PC scan tool software), you
will need a CAN adapter to communicate with many 2003 and newer vehicles.
Here are some examples of adapters required for specific scan tools:
1. Snap-On: CAN 1B
2. Tech II: CAN di module
3. Mastertech: CAN VIM

Snap-On: CAN 1B

If you are using a J2534 interface with PC scan tool software, the inface has CAN
built in and DOES NOT require an additional adapter. The J2534 interface will be
discussed in the RECALIBRATION section.

J2534 Interface

J2534 is a scan tool and reprogramming interface standard for all auto manufac-
turers. All 2003 and newer vehicles are required to be J2534 compatible. The
J2534 interface translates data between PC and vehicle network/data link. It is
used for ‘Pass Thru’ reprogramming and scan tool communication.

Most OBDII vehicles, especially domestics, can be reprogrammed via J2534 Pass
Thru. Each auto manufacturer has their own J2534 PC software for reprogram-
ming. Calibrations and J2534 software are available either from auto manufactur-
ers service information website or by purchasing a CD-ROM.

Recalibration PC Setup

Make sure PC power management settings will not allow PC to go into standby or
hibernate. If PC goes into standby or hibernate during reprogramming the ECM
can be ruined.

The J2534 interface will require either RS232 or USB connection to PC, make
sure PC is apropriately equipped to connect to the J2524 interface. A wireless
card may come in handy.

Recalibration TSB’s

A lot of diagnostic time can be wasted on problems that are fixed with program-
ming updates. OEM service websites have the most up to date TSB and
recalibration information. Common for updated calibration to address shifting
problems, engine performance problems, parts interchange, and false DTC’s.

• Calibration number is the “Module ID” or “Module Part Number” retrieved


with a scan tool.

• Calibration can be found with the catchword, or with vehicle information


and current calibration number. Use “Latest Calibration” spreadsheet.
Module programming software will automatically install the latest
calibration file.

• It takes about one hour to reprogram a Ford.

Resetting the Shift Adapts

Many vehicles, specifically GM and Toyota, learn pressure up quickly, but learn
pressure down very slowly. The result can be a harsh shifting transmission that
will take a lot of driving to relearn, and may cause transmission damage in the
meantime. It is always best to perform the proper reset and relearn functions to
ensure a good working unit and a happy customer.

• Ford: Disconnect battery for five (5) minutes (KAM reset), turn key on, and
touch battery cables together

• Ford AF21-B: Disconnect battery for 20 minutes.

• GM with Allison LCT 1000: Initiate FastLearn with scan tool, follow driving
instructions given by scan tool.

• Other GM with EPC: Disconnect battery for at least 20 minutes.

• Chrysler with TE, LE, RLE, RFE transmission: Execute Quicklearn function
with scan tool.

• Toyota and Lexus vehicles with “U” series transaxles: Perform PCM Memory
Reset with scantool.

Output Shaft Planetary Failure
Rear Planet Assembly
Planetary failure may be caused by installing the wrong planetary assembly.
There are two types of planetary assemblies: Three pinion and Four pinion.

The design of the planetary gears have been changed to have less thrust loads on
the needle bearings. There are two designs currently available, however there are
many different ratios. Never install a three pinion planet in place of a four pinion
planet. Make sure you order the correct part using the vehicle VIN number.

Solenoid Operation
Solenoid Overview
Six solenoids are used to control transmission operation, ALL solenoids are pulse-
width modulated regardless or their name:

• The “1-2 / 4-5 shift”, “2-3 shift”, and “3-4 Shift” solenoids function as they
are named.
• The “PWM” solenoid controls Lockup.
• The “Modulating Pressure Regulator Solenoid” is the pressure control
solenoid.
• The “Shift Pressure Control Solenoid” is unique in its function, and will be
described below.

Solenoid Operation
For control of each shift transition, each of the shift solenoids uses a bank of four
valves to control clutch element apply pressure, release rate, and overlap (or “tim-
ing”). These valves are called:

• Command Valve

• Holding Pressure Shift Valve

• Shift Pressure Shift Valve

• Pressure Overlap Control Valve

Each shift solenoid uses four valves, so there are a total of twelve valves used to
control all shift transitions. The term for these functions and valves are called
“Shift Groups”.

MERCEDES 247

722.6
Solenoid Operation (conintued)
To initiate and complete a 1-2 shift the following sequence is executed:

1. The 1-2/4-5 solenoid is turned on. This strokes the command valve and ini-
tiates the shift “transition”.

2. The Holding Pressure Shift Valve, Shift Pressure Shift Valve, and Pressure
Overlap Control Valve control the release rate of the B1 Brake and the apply rate
of the K1 clutch.

3. Once the transition is complete the 1-2 / 4-5 Shift Solenoid is turned off.

To make a 2-1 downshift, the computer again turns on the 1-2 / 4-5 Shift Sole-
noid to initiate the transition. Since the transmission is in second gear, it will
transition back to first gear.

Each shift transition is made in the manner described above, by energizing the
appropriate shift solenoid, making the shift transition, then the shift solenoid is
turned off when the shift is complete. When the transmission is in 1st, 2nd, 3rd,
4th, or 5th gear, NO SHIFT solenoids are on.

The Shifting Pressure Control Solenoid controls the apply pressure for each tran-
sition.

The Modulating Pressure Regulator, in part, controls the release rate.


These two solenoids work together to control the overlap for each shift transition.

With the exception of the Sonata, Hyundai has always used a unique transaxle ID
system, compared to other KM-type units. It is extremely important that you use
the right transaxle for the application you have. A mismatch will cause ratio er-
rors, which can only be resolved with using the correct planets and final drive, so
be careful.

Pressure Testing
Pressure testing for this series of transaxle is almost identical to that of every
other KM series unit. The main difference — and it’s a significant one — is that
this unit lowers pressure in 4th gear when the TCM/ECM turns shift solenoid C
on.
KMs don’t have a mainline pressure tap. But if the unit is working properly, you
should have mainline pressure at the kickdown servo once the transmission has
shifted completely into 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears.

Pressure Testing (continued)
If you suspect an electrical problem is affecting mainline pressure, unplug the
solenoid connector: This puts the transaxle into 3rd gear, and turns the pressure
control solenoid off. Unless there’s a leak in the system or a valve body problem,
you should have mainline pressure at the kickdown servo tap.

 Lowers Pressure
 Raises Pressure
If pressure is out of specifica-
tion, adjust the PR screw
clockwise to lower pressure,
and counterclockwise to raise
it. Each full turn changes the
pressure about 6 PSI.

HYUNDAI 265

A4AF3, A4BF2
No reverse
Most no-reverse problems are caused by outside electrical issues. Try unplugging
the solenoid harness and see if you get reverse. If so, you know the problem is
electrical. There are two things the computer must know to allow reverse:
1. The car isn’t moving.
2. The shifter’s in reverse.
Pulse generator B monitors vehicle speed. Pulse generator A monitors input shaft
speed (which rotates in park and neutral). Unlike earlier KM series transaxles,
these two pulse generators are configured differently so it’s obvious which one
bolts where. But that doesn’t mean you can’t mix them up.
There are two quick tests to see if the pulse generators are mixed up:
1. Disconnect the pulse generators and see if you get reverse.
2. You can shift to drive first, and then quickly into reverse.
If either test gets reverse check the pulse generators.

The second electrical problem that can occur, but isn’t nearly as common, is the
inhibitor switch doesn’t report reverse to the computer. But this problem can be
intermittent, even if the inhibitor switch has failed completely. That is, if you drive
the car around, and then try reverse, the computer will sometimes allow it, even
though the inhibitor switch still didn’t report reverse. The best way to test this is
to check it right at the switch.

A4AF3, A4BF2
Harsh 2–3 or 2–3 Slide-Bump
Most harsh 2–3 shift complaints on KM series transaxles are caused by the fric-
tion material or low shifting pressure. The harsh shift or bump that you feel is
caused when the end clutch applies. Normally the end clutch applies after the
front clutch completes the 2–3 shift. If the 2–3 shift isn’t completed when the end
clutch applies, you’ll get a bump. As the front clutch engagement gets worse, the
harsh shift or bump gets worse.

To fix this, try increasing reducing pressure. Start with about 1½ turns counter-
clockwise. In most cases this’ll fix the problem. If not, try increasing it a bit more.
Keep in mind, increasing reducing pressure will make the 1–2, 3–4, and converter
clutch applies more aggressive.

If these other shifts aren’t too aggressive you can increase reducing pressure until
the 2–3 complaint is gone. Otherwise, you’ll need to replace the friction material
in the front clutch.

HYUNDAI 267

A4AF3, A4BF2
Shifts 1–3
If shift solenoid C is stuck open, it’ll cause the unit to shift into 3rd gear on the 1–
2 command. A tip that shift solenoid C is stuck open rather than a commanded 1–
3 shift is that the shift will be very aggressive. That’s because the clutch applying
is the end clutch, and the end clutch isn’t regulated during the apply.

The fastest way to test for this is:


• Energize shift solenoid B (2nd gear)
• Start the engine
• Move the shifter to Drive
• Check for pressure at the end clutch

If the end clutch is receiving pressure, either shift solenoid C is stuck open or the
control switch valve is stuck. If you want to test it further:
• Move your pressure gauge to servo apply
• Energize shift solenoid A (4th gear)

With the transaxle in 4th gear, shift solenoid C serves as a cutback solenoid. If
shift solenoid C is stuck open, you’ll have about 95 PSI at the servo, rather than
about 130 PSI. If you do have 130 PSI, check the control switch valve.

268 HYUNDAI

A4AF3, A4BF2
Neutrals on 3–4 Shift or No 4th Gear
The computer energizes shift solenoid C in 3rd gear to apply the end clutch. If the
end clutch doesn’t apply, the transaxle will neutral on the 3–4 shift. After the
computer sees this a couple times, it’ll disable 4th gear.

The best check here is to disconnect the solenoid harness and run the car in 3rd
gear. With a pressure gauge on the end clutch tap, see if you get pressure when
you energize shift solenoid C. If you don’t get pressure, either shift solenoid C is
stuck closed or the control switch valve is stuck.

A4AF3, A4BF2
Failed End Clutch Hub Bearing
This may be the most common mechanical failure on this transaxle. There are
three main causes for this:

1. The end clutch hub bushing wears our, allowing side movement of the hub and
an uneven load on the bearing.

2. Too much clearance between the end clutch hub and bearing, allowing the
bearing to move out of place.

3. High line pressure, placing a greater load on the bearing.

This bearing damage

270 HYUNDAI

A4AF3, A4BF2
Failed End Clutch Hub Bearing
(continued)
Try to keep the clearance between the end clutch hub and bearing below 0.020”.
Aftermarket shims are available for this. To check the clearance simply use an H-
gauge.

Since there’s only one sealing ring on the end clutch drum, line pressure pushes
the end clutch drum toward the bearing anytime it’s pressurized. Unfortunately,
Hyundai increased the sealing ring size for this unit, and consequently, increased
to load caused by this affect by 40%. Maximum line pressure should not exceed
130 psi. However, it is not uncommon to see pressure at the end clutch as high as
150 psi. 150 psi results in a load of 639 lbs of force on the bearing, compared to
554 lbs of force at 130 psi (a difference of 85 lbs of force). If your line pressure is
higher than 130 psi adjust it down at the pressure regulator adjustment on the
valve body. A good target is between 125 and 130 psi.

Always replace the


hub shaft bushing
with a babbit-style
bushing.
