Trans Basic Operation:

The 4L80E is a RWD 4 speed unit with
TCC. Shift delay, shift feel, and TCC are
all electronically controlled by TCM
through the use of solenoids mounted on Hold Shaft Hold
the valve body. Support
Originally designated the 4L80E, other
similar model variations are designated
as 4L80E-HD, and 4L85E.

4L80E—General Reference Data
= Checkball
Electrical Notes/Data:
1st design (flat blade type terminals) connector had 12 wires including 2 separate 12v supply wires.
The 1st design internal harness was discontinued and must be serviced with the 2nd design which al-
so requires a new pigtail to be spliced onto the vehicle harness in place of the original.
The 2nd design internal harness uses only a single 12v supply instead of 2 separate ones like the 1st
design. When converting a vehicle from 1st design to 2nd design, one of the 12v supply wires
(Terminal “K”) is not used. As a result of the 12v supply consolidation, the 2nd design uses only 11
wires.
When comparing the 1st and 2nd designs, the terminal letter designations were changed as well as
the locations.
