Symptom:
*NO SPEEDOMETER OPERATION
POSSIBLE CAUSES

Repair Instructions:
NO SPEEDOMETER
Check the pinion factor setting in the TCM.
Perform 41TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

TRANSMISSION
Symptom:
*TRANSMISSION NOISY WITH NO DTC’S PRESENT
POSSIBLE CAUSES
INCORRECT FLUID LEVEL
INTERNAL TRANSMISSION PROBLEM - NOISY
INTERNAL TRANSMISSION PROBLEM - NOISY WHILE STANDING STILL
No → Test Complete.
2 The transmission must be above 70 degree F. prior to checking fluid level. Adjusting All
fluid level on a cold transmission will result in an overfilled transmission.
Check the transmission fluid level per the service information.
Is the fluid level OK?
Yes → Go To 3
3 With the shift lever in neutral, raise the engine speed and listen to the noise. All
Note: Make sure the radio is turned OFF. Alternator noise can come through
the speakers and be misinterpreted as Transmission Pump Whine. This can
happen even with the volume turned down, THE RADIO MUST BE TURNED
OFF.
Does the noise get louder or change pitch while the engine speed is changing?
Yes → Go To 4
No → Go To 5
Repair
Repair internal transmission problem as necessary.
Perform 41TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

TRANSMISSION
Symptom:
*TRANSMISSION SHIFTS EARLY WITH NO DTC’S
POSSIBLE CAUSES
BUS PROBLEMS
CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT WIRING & CONNECTORS
COLD TRANSMISSION
2 The conditions necessary to set the DTC are not present at this time. Using the All
schematics as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors specific to this circuit.
Wiggle the wires while checking for shorts and open circuits.
Although it takes two occurences of a missed TRD link message to set the DTC
P1793, one missed message will cause the transmission to short shift until the next
start up. If the vehicle has any indications of a bus problem, the bus must be repaired
first
Were any problems found?
Yes → Repair defective wiring and/or connector as necessary.
Perform 41TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.
No → Go To 3
3 If the transmission shifts too early when the transmission is cold, this is a normal All
condition. The software is designed to protect the transmission from high torque
and/or high RPM shifts during cold operation.
Did the problem occur when the transmission temperature was cold?
Yes → This is a normal condition. The software is designed to protect the
transmission from high torque and/or high RPM shifts during
cold operation.
Perform 41TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.
No → Test Complete.

VERIFICATION TESTS
Verification Tests
41TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 APPLICABILITY
1. Connect the DRBIIIt to the Data Link Connector (DLC). All
2. Reconnect any disconnected components.
3. With the DRBIIIt, erase all Transmission DTC’s, also erase the PCM DTC’s.
4. With the DRBIIIt, display transmission temperature. Start and run the engine until the
transmission temperature is HOT (above 110 deg. F).
5. Check the transmission fluid and adjust if necessary. Refer to the service information for the
fluid fill procedure.
6. NOTE: If the Transmission Control Module or torque converter has been replaced
or if the transmission has been repaired or replaced it is necessary to perform the
DRBIIIt Quick Learn Procedure and reset the (Pinion Factor(
7. Road test the vehicle. With the DRBIIIt, monitor the engine RPM. Make 15 to 20 1-2, 2-3,
3-4 upshifts. Perform these shifts from a standing start to 45 MPH with a constant throttle
opening of 20 to 25 degrees.
8. Below 25 MPH, make 5 to 8 wide open throttle kickdowns to 1st gear. Allow at least 5 seconds
each in 2nd and 3rd gear between each kickdown.
9. For a specific DTC, drive the vehicle to the Symptom’s When Monitored/When Set conditions
to verify the DTC repair.
10. Check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC’s) during the road test. If a DTC sets during the
road test , return to the Symptom list and follow the path.
11. NOTE: Erase P0700 DTC in the PCM to turn the MIL light off after making
transmission repairs. This will turn the MIL off.
Were any Trouble Codes set during the road test?
Yes → Refer to the Symptom List for appropriate diagnostic tests.
Perform 41TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.
No → Repair is complete.
