Diagnostic Test

1. PRE-DIAGNOSTIC CHECK OUT


Check the transmission fluid level. If the fluid level is low, locate and repair any leaks and fill the transmission to the
proper level. Refer to the appropriate Service Information for procedures. Many transmission symptoms can be
caused by a low fluid level.
Check the battery. To avoid false diagnosis, testing should only be performed with the battery fully charged.
With the scan tool, read Engine (PCM) DTCs. If DTCs are present, refer to the Driveability Category and perform to
the appropriate diagnostic procedure(s) before proceeding.
With the scan tool, read Transmission (TCM) DTCs. Record all Stored, Active, and Pending DTC information. Diag-
nose any Pending DTC as a matured DTC.
With the scan tool, read EATX DTC EVENT DATA. Use this data to identify the conditions in which the DTC was
set.
Performing a Battery Disconnect will clear all EATX DTC EVENT DATA and reset all learned Transmission values to
the default values, which may temporarily result in erratic shift schedules.
With the scan tool, perform the Shift Lever Position Test. If the test does not pass, refer to the diagnostic procedure
for P0706 Check Shifter Signal.
For Gear Ratio Error DTCs, use the scan tool to view CVI Monitor data. Read and record the Clutch Volume Index
information.

For the Transmission circuit diagram (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING).
For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.

• When Monitored:
Continuously with the ignition on and engine running.
• Set Condition:
This DTC will set if the monitored TPS voltage drops below .078 volts for the period of 0.48 seconds.

Possible Causes
RELATED ENGINE TPS/APPS DTC’S PRESENT
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

Theory of Operation
Due to the integration of the Powertrain and Transmission Control Modules the New Generation Control Module III
will be referred to as the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The 3–wire TPS (4.7L V-8 Engine) provides the PCM
with an input signal voltage that represents the throttle blade position of the throttle body. The Throttle Position
Sensor (TPS) is connected to the throttle blade shaft. As the position of the throttle blade changes, the output volt-
age of the TPS changes.
The PCM supplies approximately 5.0 volts to the TPS. The TPS output voltage (input signal to the PCM) represents
the throttle blade position. The PCM receives an input signal voltage from the TPS. This will vary in an approximate
range from 0.26 volts at minimum throttle opening (idle), to 4.49 volts at maximum opening (wide open throttle).
The Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APPS) is currently used only with the 5.7L V-8 engine. The APPS is a linear
potentiometer. It provides the PCM with a voltage signal proportional to the angle, or position of the accelerator
pedal. The APPS signal along with inputs from other sensors is used by the PCM to calculate the throttle plate
position.
A mechanical cable is used between the accelerator pedal and the APPS assembly. Although a cable is used
between the accelerator pedal and the APPS assembly, a mechanical cable is not used between the accelerator
pedal and the throttle body. The throttle plate position is electronically controlled by the PCM.

• When Monitored:
1) One time after the controller is reset (ignition turned to the RUN position) and every 60 seconds thereafter.
The Delay Test is executed after a reset only.
2) 2 seconds after an invalid test.
• Set Condition:
If either of the following conditions occur 3 times:
1) The watchdog fault line remains high after the period has elapsed for the too early - too late watchdog test.
2) The Transmission Control Relay remains on after the watchdog delay expired.

Possible Causes
POWER OR GROUND CIRCUIT
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

Theory of Operation
The internal Watchdog (WD) is a separate hardware circuit that continuously monitors the microprocessor. To insure
the proper operation of the EATX controller the watchdog must receive a signal from the microprocessor within a
specific time window (14ms ± 1ms) to prevent a system shutdown after a short delay (570ms). The microprocessor
periodically tests the WD’s ability to provide this shutdown function using a three phase test;
1) Send the signal too late > 15ms
2) Send the signal too early < 13ms
3) Delay test < 590ms
If the watchdog input signal arrives too early or too late, the Watchdog Fault line will go low and the watchdog delay
will start to time out. The delay will be reset by the correct timing of watchdog signal sent during subsequent oper-
ations.
The Delay Test checks the delay time out. The Delay Monitor line is pulled low, which forces the delay to start timing
out. At the end of the delay time the Transmission Relay will be turned off. The delay test, upon detection of the
relay turning off, will immediately turn the relay back on before shutdown can occur.

terminal push out. Pay particular attention to all power and ground circuits.
NOTE: Due to the integration of the Powertrain and Transmission Control Modules, the transmission part of
the PCM has it’s own specific power and ground circuits.
Wiggle the wires while checking for shorted and open circuits.
Check for any Service Bulletins that may apply.

Were there any problems found?

• When Monitored:
Continuously with the ignition on.
• Set Condition:
The DTC will set if the controller detects an invalid PRNDL code which lasts for more than 0.042 seconds.

Possible Causes

SHIFTER OUT OF ADJUSTMENT


TRS SENSE CIRCUIT OPEN
TRS SENSE CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND
TRS SENSE CIRCUIT SHORT TO VOLTAGE
METAL DEBRIS IN OIL PAN
TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

Theory of Operation
The T1, T2, T3, T41, or T42 (C1 - C5) Sense circuits communicate the shift lever position to the Transmission
Control System. Each circuit is terminated at the transmission by a switch (TRS). Each switch can be either open
or closed, depending on the shift lever position. The PCM can decode this information and determine the shift lever
position.
Each shift lever position has it own unique combination of closed and open switches. This is called a PRNDL code.
There are 5 switches, therefore: there are many possible combinations of open and closed switches (codes). There
are 12 valid codes: two for neutral, one for each other gear position (5), and five temporary (transition zone) codes.
The remainder of the codes should never occur, these are called invalid codes.

• When Monitored:

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

Theory of Operation
The transmission system uses two speed sensors, one to measure input RPM and one to measure output RPM.
These inputs are essential for proper transmission operation. Therefore, the integrity of this data is verified through
the following checks:
1) When in gear, if the gear ratio does not compare to a known gear ratio, the corresponding in-gear trouble code
is set (DTCs P0731–36).
2) An excessive change in input or output speeds indicating signal intermittent which may result in the DTCs P0715
and/or P0720 to set.
3) If the common speed sensor ground circuit is lost, both sensor inputs will read the signal from the input speed
sensor at idle in neutral. Since the input speed sensor reads 60 teeth from the input clutch hub and the output
speed sensor reads 30 teeth from the park gear, the result is an apparent speed ratio of 1:2 and may cause the
DTC P1794 to set when at a stop.

• When Monitored:
The transmission gear ratio is monitored continuously while the transmission is in gear.
• Set Condition:
If there is an excessive change in output RPM in any gear. This DTC can take up to five minutes of problem
identification before illuminating the MIL.

Possible Causes

OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN


SPEED SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN
OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND
SPEED SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND
OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORT TO VOLTAGE
SPEED SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT SHORT TO VOLTAGE
OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

Theory of Operation
The transmission system uses two speed sensors, one to measure input RPM and one to measure output RPM.
These inputs are essential for proper transmission operation. Therefore, the integrity of this data is verified through
the following checks:
1) When in gear, if the gear ratio does not compare to a known gear ratio, the corresponding in-gear trouble code
is set (codes P0731 through P0736).
2) An excessive change in input or output speeds indicating signal intermittent will result in codes P0715 and/or
P0720 being set.
3) If the common speed sensor ground circuit is lost, both sensor inputs will read the signal from the input speed
sensor at idle in neutral. Since the input speed sensor has 60 teeth and the output speed sensor has 30 teeth, this
results in a an apparent speed ratio of 1:2 and may cause the DTC P1794 to set.

17. INTERMITTENT DTC


The conditions to set this DTC are not currently present.
With the scan tool, check the EATX DTC EVENT DATA to help identify the conditions in which the DTC was set.
- If the DTC Event Data shows fault P0732 was set in Park, Reverse, or Neutral, replace the Powertrain Control
Module.
- If the DTC Event Data shows fault P0732 set with input RPM = zero, check the input speed sensor and related
wiring.
- If the DTC Event Data shows fault P0732 set with line pressure significantly below desired line pressure, check for
the cause of low line pressure (i.e., oil level, misinstalled or damaged primary filter or filter seal, sticking main reg-
ulator valve in pump, etc.).
- If the DTC Event Data shows fault P0732 set with the UD or 2C pressure switch open (but line pressure matches
Desired Line Pressure), air check the UD and 2C hydraulic clutch circuits for leakage per the Service Information.
If the UD and 2C hydraulic clutch circuits are OK, replace the Transmission Solenoid/TRS assembly.
Check the gearshift linkage adjustment.
Intermittent Gear Ratio DTCs can be set by problems in the Input and Output Speed Sensor circuits and/or Speed
Sensor Ground circuit.
Remove the Starter Relay.
NOTE: Failure to remove the Starter Relay can cause a Transmission - No Response condition.
Install Transmission Simulator, Miller tool #8333.

Possible Causes

RELATED DTC’S PRESENT


INPUT SPEED SENSOR OR WIRING
LOW FLUID LEVEL
CRACKED OR MISINSTALLED PRIMARY OIL FILTER OR SEAL
BENT OR BROKEN ACCUMULATOR COVER ON MAIN VALVE BODY
WORN SOLENOID SWITCH VALVE OR PLUGS
STUCK OR STICKING MAIN REGULATOR VALVE

CUT OD OR UD PISTON SEAL
BROKEN OR MISSING UD OR OD BLEED ORIFICE IN MAIN VALVE BODY

POOR MACHINING ON PUMP VALVE BODY FACE
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

Theory of Operation
The transmission system uses two speed sensors, one to measure input RPM and one to measure output RPM.
These inputs are essential for proper transmission operation. Therefore, the integrity of this data is verified through
the following checks:
1) Once in a particular gear, if the gear ratio varies from the correct gear ratio, the corresponding in-gear trouble
code is set (DTCs P0731–36).
2) An excessive change in input or output speeds indicating signal intermittent may result in the DTCs P0715 and/or
P0720 being set.
3) If the common speed sensor ground circuit is lost, both sensor inputs will read the pulses from the input speed
sensor when at a stop in neutral. Since the input speed sensor reads 60 teeth from the input clutch hub and the
output speed sensor reads 30 teeth from the park gear, the result is an apparent speed ratio of 1:2 and may cause
the DTC P1794 to set.

For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W

• When Monitored:
Continuously with the ignition on, engine running, with the transmission in gear.
• Set Condition:
If the ratio of the Input RPM to the Output RPM does not match the current gear ratio. This DTC can take up
to five minutes of problem identification before illuminating the MIL

Possible Causes

LOW FLUID LEVEL


CUT LR TOWER SEAL ON MAIN VALVE BODY
CUT LR CLUTCH PISTON SEALS
BROKEN OR MISSING LR CLUTCH BLEED ORIFICE (IN LR CLUTCH RETAINER)
CUT LR ACCUMULATOR PISTON SEAL IN MAIN VALVE BODY
CRACKED LR ACCUMULATOR PISTON IN MAIN VALVE BODY
CUT OD/REV PISTON SEALS
BROKEN OR MISSING OD/REV BLEED ORIFICE (IN OD/REV CLUTCH PISTON)
BROKEN REVERSE CARRIER HUB WELD
BROKEN REVERSE SUN GEAR WELD TO THE REACTION CARRIER
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

Theory of Operation
The transmission system uses two speed sensors, one to measure input RPM and one to measure output RPM.
These inputs are essential for proper transmission operation. Therefore, the integrity of this data is verified through
the following checks:
1) Once in a particular gear, if the gear ratio varies from the correct gear ratio, the corresponding in-gear trouble
code is set (DTCs P0731–36).
2) An excessive change in input or output speeds indicating signal intermittent may result in the DTCs P0715 and/or
P0720 being set.
3) If the common speed sensor ground circuit is lost, both sensor inputs will read the pulses from the input speed
sensor when at a stop in neutral. Since the input speed sensor reads 60 teeth from the input clutch hub and the
output speed sensor reads 30 teeth from the park gear, the result is an apparent speed ratio of 1:2 and may cause
the DTC P1794 to set.

For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W

• When Monitored:
During Electronically Modulated Converter Clutch (EMCC) Operation.
• Set Condition:
Transmission must be in EMCC, with input speed greater than 1750 RPM. TCC-L/R Solenoid achieves the
maximum duty cycle and can not pull engine speed within 60 RPM of input speed. Also when the transmission
is in FEMCC and the engine slips TCC less than 100 RPM for 10 seconds. This DTC can take up to five
minutes of problem identification before illuminating the MIL.

TORQUE CONVERTER AND/OR INTERNAL TRANSMISSION
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

Theory of Operation
When in 2nd, 2nd Prime, 3rd, or 4th gear, the torque converter clutch (TCC) can be engaged when certain condi-
tions are met. The TCC piston is electronically modulated by increasing the duty cycle of the LR Solenoid until the
torque converter slip difference (difference between engine and transmission input speed) is within 60 RPM. Then
the LR solenoid is fully energized (FEMCC / 100% duty cycle). Torque converter slip is monitored in FEMCC to
ensure adequate clutch capacity.

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-

Theory of Operation
The Transmission Control System uses six electronically controlled solenoids that allow hydraulic fluid to be applied
to various friction elements (clutches), which enables the gear requested. The continuity of each solenoid circuit is
periodically tested. Each inactive solenoid is turned on for a few milliseconds, then off. Each active solenoid is
turned off for a few milliseconds, then on. This pulsing of voltage to the solenoid causes an inductive spike which
can be sensed by the Transmission Control System. If an inductive spike is not sensed by the Transmission Control
System during the continuity check, it is tested again. If the test fails three consecutive times, the appropriate Diag-
nostic Trouble Code (DTC) is set. If the solenoid test is run in response to a gear ratio or pressure switch error, one
failure will result in setting the appropriate DTC. Note: This DTC is strictly an electrical fault and does not apply
to any internal transmission failures.

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

Theory of Operation
The Transmission Control System uses six electronically controlled solenoids that allow hydraulic fluid to be applied
to various friction elements (clutches), which enables the gear requested. The continuity of each solenoid circuit is
periodically tested. Each inactive solenoid is turned on for a few milliseconds, then off. Each active solenoid is
turned off for a few milliseconds, then on. This pulsing of voltage to the solenoid causes an inductive spike which
can be sensed by the Transmission Control System. If an inductive spike is not sensed by the Transmission Control
System during the continuity check, it is tested again. If the test fails three consecutive times, the appropriate Diag-
nostic Trouble Code (DTC) is set. If the solenoid test is run in response to a gear ratio or pressure switch error, one
failure will result in setting the appropriate DTC. Note: This DTC is strictly an electrical fault and does not apply
to any internal transmission failures.

Theory of Operation
The Transmission Control System tests the pressure switches when they are off. The test verifies that the switches
are operational (They will close with pressure applied). The Transmission Control System verifies that the switch
closes when the corresponding element is applied. If a switch fails to close, it is re-tested. If it fails the second test,
the DTC will set, the MIL will illuminate and the transmission system will default to the orderly Shutdown routine.

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

Theory of Operation
Line pressure is measured by the Line Pressure Sensor (LPS) and regulation is achieved by changing the duty
cycle of the Pressure Control Solenoid (PCS) controlled by the Transmission Control System. (5% duty cycle =
solenoid off = max line pressure, 62% duty cycle = solenoid on = min line pressure). The Transmission Control
System calculates the desired line pressure based on inputs from both the engine and transmission.
The Transmission Control System calculates torque input to the transmission and uses it as the primary input to the
desired line pressure calculation. This is called Torque Based Line Pressure. In addition, the line pressure is set to
a preset level 827 or 931kPa (120 or 135 PSI) during shifts and in Park and Neutral to ensure consistent shift
quality. The desired line pressure is continuously being compared to the actual line pressure. If the actual line pres-
sure is consistently lower than the target while driving, the line pressure low DTC P0868 will set.

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

Theory of Operation
The Transmission Control System tests the pressure switches when they are off. The test verifies that the switches
are operational (They will close with pressure applied). The Transmission Control System verifies that the switch
closes when the corresponding element is applied. If a switch fails to close, it is re-tested. If it fails the second test,
the DTC will set, the MIL will illuminate and the transmission system will default to the orderly Shutdown routine.

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

Theory of Operation
The Transmission Control System tests the pressure switches when they are off. The test verifies that the switches
are operational (They will close with pressure applied). The Transmission Control System verifies that the switch
closes when the corresponding element is applied. If a switch fails to close, it is re-tested. If it fails the second test,
the DTC will set, the MIL will illuminate and the transmission system will default to the orderly Shutdown routine.

• When Monitored:
When Powertrain Control Module initially powers up. Due to the integration of the Powertrain and Transmission
Control Modules, the transmission part of the PCM has its own specific power and ground circuits.
• Set Condition:
This DTC will set if the PCM powers up and senses the vehicle in a valid forward gear, with no PRNDL DTCs,
and an output speed above 800 RPM, approximately 32 Kmh (20 MPH).

Possible Causes
POWER UP AT SPEED
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

Theory of Operation
If a vehicle loses power to the Transmission Control System, the solenoids (LR, 2C, OD, UD, 4C) will go to their
respective power off state. Some solenoids are normally vented and some are normally applied in their power off
state. The transmission is designed to be in 3rd gear with all of the solenoids in this state. However, if power is
restored, the Transmission Control System will power-up and normal operation will be restored.
This code identifies that power to the Transmission Control System was restored when the gear selector was in a
9Drive9 position while the vehicle was moving at speeds above 32 Kmh (20 MPH). This DTC does not indicate a
problem with the transmission or Transmission Control System, instead, it suggests intermittent problems in
the fused ignition switch output, fused B(+), or ground circuits to the TCM. Alternately, if a person performs a rolling
restart maneuver, the DTC can be set. Therefore it is critical that this DTC be investigated if the vehicle is experi-
encing intermittent 3rd gear operation and a subsequent return to normal operation.

Diagnostic Test

1. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT POWER AND GROUND CIRCUITS


This DTC is set when the Transmission portion of the Powertrain Control Module is initialized while the vehicle is
moving down the road in a valid forward gear.
Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
NOTE: Due to the integration of the Powertrain and Transmission Control Modules, the transmission part of
the PCM has its own specific power and ground circuits.
Check all of the Fused B(+), Fused Ignition Switch Output, and ground circuits to the PCM for an intermittent open
or short to ground.
With the scan tool, check the EATX DTC EVENT DATA to help identify the conditions in which the DTC was set.

If there are no possible causes remaining, view repair.

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

Theory of Operation
The transmission control relay is used to supply power to the solenoids and pressure switches when the transmis-
sion is in normal operating mode. The relay output is fed back to the TCM through pins 16, 17, and 36. It is referred
to as 9Transmission Control Relay Output9. This circuit does not supply power to the TCM, it is only a sense circuit.
When the relay is off, no power is supplied to the solenoids and pressure switches, and the transmission is in
9limp-in9 or 9default9 mode. Note: Inadequate Transmission Control Relay Output voltage can also cause DTCs
P0846, P0869, P0871, P0876 or P0988 to set. This does not indicate an internal transmission or solenoid/
TRS problem. Repairing the P0888 fault should also eliminate the related DTCs.

POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

Theory of Operation
The Transmission control relay is used to supply power to the solenoids and pressure switches (Transmission
Solenid/TRS Assembly) when the transmission is in normal operating mode. When the relay is off, no power is
supplied and the transmission is in 9limp-in9 mode. The relay output is fed back to the PCM through pins C4–19,
C4–28 and C4–38 and are referred to as 9Transmission Control Relay Output9.
Immediately after a controller reset (ignition key turned to the 9run9 position or after cranking engine), the TCM ver-
ifies that the relay contacts are open by checking for no voltage at the transmission control relay output terminals.
After this is verified, the voltage at the pressure switches are checked. There should be no voltage on the pressure
switches at this time. The PCM will then activate the relay.

Theory of Operation
The Transmission Control Relay is used to supply power (Transmission Control Relay Output) to the Transmission
Solenoid/TRS Assembly when in normal operating mode and to pins C4–19, C4–28 and C4–38 of the PCM. The
purpose of the Transmission Control Relay is to allow the PCM to turn off the power to the Transmission Solenoid/
TRS Assembly in event that the transmission should need to be placed into “limp-in” mode due to a DTC.
After a PCM reset, (ignition switch turned to the run position, or after cranking engine) the PCM verifies that the
Transmission Control Relay contacts are open by checking for voltage on the Transmission Control Relay Output
circuit before the Transmission Control Relay is energized. If voltage is detected, the DTC will set.

• Set Condition:
The PCM continuously monitors Actual Line Pressure and compares it to Desired Line Pressure. If the Actual

INTERNAL TRANSMISSION
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

Theory of Operation
Line pressure is electronically controlled by the Transmission Control System and is measured by the Line Pressure
Sensor (LPS). The desired line pressure is continuously being compared to the actual line pressure and is regulated
by electronically changing the duty cycle of the Pressure Control Solenoid (PCS). (5% duty cycle = solenoid off =
max line pressure, 62% duty cycle = solenoid on = min line pressure).
The Transmission Control System calculates the desired line pressure based on inputs from the transmission and
engine. A calculated torque input to the transmission is used as the primary input of the desired line pressure cal-
culation and is called Torque Based Line Pressure. In addition, the line pressure is set to a preset level 827 to
931kPa (120 to 135 PSI) during shifts and in Park and Neutral to ensure consistent shift quality.

Diagnostic Test

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

Theory of Operation
Line pressure is electronically controlled by the Transmission Control System and is measured by the Line Pressure
Sensor (LPS). The desired line pressure is continuously being compared to the actual line pressure and is regulated
by electronically changing the duty cycle of the Pressure Control Solenoid (PCS). (5% duty cycle = solenoid off =
max line pressure, 62% duty cycle = solenoid on = min line pressure).
The Transmission Control System calculates the desired line pressure based on inputs from the transmission and
engine. A calculated torque input to the transmission is used as the primary input of the desired line pressure cal-
culation and is called Torque Based Line Pressure. In addition, the line pressure is set to a preset level 827 to 931
kPa (120 to 135 PSI) during shifts and in Park and Neutral to ensure consistent shift quality.
The monitored Line Pressure Sensor voltage should always be between 0.35 and 4.75 volts. Any monitored volt-
ages outside these parameters indicate an Line Pressure Sensor or wiring problem and will cause either DTC
P0934 or P0935 to set.

are operational (They will close with pressure applied). The Transmission Control System verifies that the switch
closes when the corresponding element is applied. If a switch fails to close, it is re-tested. If it fails the second test,
the DTC will set, the MIL will illuminate and the transmission system will default to the orderly Shutdown routine.

These inputs are essential for proper transmission operation. Therefore, the integrity of this data is verified through
the following checks:
1) When in gear, if the gear ratio does not compare to a known gear ratio, the corresponding in-gear trouble code
is set (DTCs P0731–36).
2) An excessive change in input or output speeds indicating signal intermittent which may result in the DTCs P0715
and/or P0720 to set.
3) If the common speed sensor ground circuit is lost, both sensor inputs will read the signal from the input speed
sensor at idle in neutral. Since the input speed sensor reads 60 teeth from the input clutch hub and the output
speed sensor reads 30 teeth from the park gear, the result is an apparent speed ratio of 1:2 and may cause the
DTC P1794 to set when at a stop.

For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.

• When Monitored:
During an attempted shift into 1st gear.
• Set Condition:
This DTC is set if three unsuccessful attempts are made to shift the Solenoid Switch Valve (SSV) into the
downshifted position in one given ignition start. This DTC can take up to five minutes to mature before illumi-
nating the MIL.

Possible Causes

RELATED DTC P0841 PRESENT


SOLENOID SWITCH VALVE STICKING
LR PRESSURE SWITCH SENSE CIRCUIT SHORT TO OTHER CIRCUITS
TRANSMISSION SOLENOID/TRS ASSEMBLY
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

Theory of Operation
The Solenoid Switch Valve (SSV) controls the direction of the transmission fluid when the L/R Solenoid is energized.
The SSV will be in the downshifted position in 1st gear, thus directing the fluid to the L/R clutch circuit. In 2nd
through 5th gears, it will be in the upshifted position and directing the fluid into the torque converter clutch (TCC).
When shifting into 1st gear, a special hydraulic sequence is performed to ensure SSV movement into the down-
shifted position. The L/R Pressure Switch is monitored to confirm SSV movement. If movement is not confirmed (the
L/R pressure switch does not close), EMCC is inhibited until SSV operation is confirmed.

INTERMITTENT WIRING AND CONNECTORS
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

Theory of Operation
The Solenoid Switch Valve (SSV) controls the direction of the transmission fluid when the L/R Solenoid is energized.
The SSV will be in the downshifted position in 1st gear, thus directing the fluid to the L/R clutch circuit. In 2nd
through 5th gears, it will be in the upshifted position and directing the fluid into the torque converter clutch (TCC).
When in 2nd, 2nd Prime, 3rd, 4th, or 5th gear, the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) can be engaged when certain
conditions are met. The TCC piston is electronically modulated by increasing the duty cycle of the L/R solenoid until
the torque converter slip difference (difference between engine and transmission input speed) is within 60 RPM.
Then the L/R solenoid is fully energized (FEMCC / 100% duty cycle). Torque converter slip is monitored in FEMCC
to ensure adequate clutch capacity.

of problem identification before illuminating the MIL.

POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

Theory of Operation
The transmission system uses two speed sensors, one to measure input RPM and one to measure output RPM.
These inputs are essential for proper transmission operation. Therefore, the integrity of this data is verified through
the following checks:
1) When in gear, if the gear ratio does not compare to a known gear ratio, the corresponding in-gear trouble code
is set (DTCs P0731–36).
2) An excessive change in input or output speeds indicating signal intermittent which may result in the DTCs P0715
and/or P0720 to set.
3) If the common speed sensor ground circuit is lost, both sensor inputs will read the signal from the input speed
sensor at idle in neutral. Since the input speed sensor reads 60 teeth from the input clutch hub and the output
speed sensor reads 30 teeth from the park gear, the result is an apparent speed ratio of 1:2 and may cause the
DTC P1794 to set when at a stop.

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

Theory of Operation
The volumes of the transmission fluid needed to apply the friction elements are continuously monitored and learned
for adaptive controls. As the clutch friction material wears, the volume of fluid needed to apply the clutch increases.
Certain transmission mechanical problems can cause near-zero learned volumes resulting in setting a DTC. The
DTC will usually set with other DTC’s, which indicates an internal transmission problem.

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

Theory of Operation
The Transmission Control System uses six electronically controlled solenoids that allow hydraulic fluid to be applied
to various friction elements (clutches), which enables the gear requested. The continuity of each solenoid circuit is
periodically tested. Each inactive solenoid is turned on for a few milliseconds, then off. Each active solenoid is
turned off for a few milliseconds, then on. This pulsing of voltage to the solenoid causes an inductive spike which
can be sensed by the Transmission Control System. If an inductive spike is not sensed by the Transmission Control
System during the continuity check, it is tested again. If the test fails three consecutive times, the appropriate Diag-
nostic Trouble Code (DTC) is set. If the solenoid test is run in response to a gear ratio or pressure switch error, one
failure will result in setting the appropriate DTC. Note: This DTC is strictly an electrical fault and does not apply
to any internal transmission failures.

Every 7 msec. Conditions: 1) Engine speed greater than 500 RPM. 2) Battery voltage greater than 10v but
less than 16v.
• Set Condition:
CAN C bus messages not received for 10 seconds.

Theory of Operation
Some NGC controllers communicate with other controllers over the CAN C bus. The transmission controller contin-
uously monitors the bus activity and receives the messages it needs. The CAN C bus is also used to communicate
transmission MIL status to the Engine Controller, therefor if the Engine Controller is unable to communicate with the
Transmission Controller, the Engine Controller will light the MIL.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 545RFE - SERVICE INFORMATION


DESCRIPTION
The 45RFE/545RFE automatic transmissions is a sophisticated, multi-range, electronically controlled transmission
which combines optimized gear ratios for responsive performance, state of the art efficiency features and low NVH.
Other features include driver adaptive shifting and three planetary gear sets to provide wide ratio capability with
precise ratio steps for optimum driveability. The three planetary gear sets also make available a unique alternate
second gear ratio. The primary 2nd gear ratio fits between 1st and 3rd gears for normal through-gear accelerations.
The alternate second gear ratio (2prime) allows smoother 4-2 kickdowns at high speeds to provide 2nd gear pass-
ing performance over a wider highway cruising range.
The hydraulic portion of the transmission consists of the transmission fluid, fluid passages, hydraulic valves, and
various line pressure control components.
The primary mechanical components of the transmission consist of the following:
• Three multiple disc input clutches
• Three multiple disc holding clutches
• Five hydraulic accumulators
• Three planetary gear sets
• Dual Stage Hydraulic oil pump
• Valve body
• Solenoid pack
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) is the “heart” or “brain” of the electronic control system and relies on infor-
mation from various direct and indirect inputs (sensors, switches, etc.) to determine driver demand and vehicle oper-
ating conditions. Depending on the vehicle configuration, the TCM may be a standalone module or it it may be
housed along with the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) in a single module. With this information, the TCM can
calculate and perform timely and quality shifts through various output or control devices (solenoid pack, transmission
control relay, etc.).

OPERATION
The 45RFE/545RFE offers full electronic control of all automatic up and downshifts, and features real-time adaptive
closed-loop shift and pressure control. Electronic shift and torque converter clutch controls help protect the trans-
mission from damage due to high temperatures, which can occur under severe operating conditions. By altering shift
schedules, line pressure, and converter clutch control, these controls reduce heat generation and increase trans-
mission cooling.
To help reduce efficiency-robbing parasitic losses, the transmissions includes a dual-stage transmission fluid pump
with electronic output pressure control. Under most driving conditions, pump output capacity greatly exceeds that
which is needed to keep the clutches applied. The 45RFE/545RFE pump-pressure control system monitors input
torque and adjusts the pump pressure accordingly. The primary stage of the pump works continuously; the second
stage is bypassed when demand is low. The control system also monitors input and output speed and, if incipient
21 - 302 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 545RFE - SERVICE INFORMATION WK

clutch slip is observed, the pressure control solenoid duty cycle is varied, increasing pressure in proportion to
demand.
A high-travel torque converter damper assembly allows earlier torque converter clutch engagement to reduce slip-
page. Needle-type thrust bearings reduce internal friction. The 45RFE/545RFE is packaged in a one-piece die-cast
aluminum case. To reduce NVH, the case has high lateral, vertical and torsional stiffness. It is also designed to
maximize the benefit of the structural dust cover that connects the bottom of the bell housing to the engine bed-
plate, enhancing overall power train stiffness. Dual filters protect the pump and other components. A cooler return
filter is added to the customary main sump filter. Independent lubrication and cooler circuits assure ample pressure
for normal transmission operation even if the cooler is obstructed or the fluid cannot flow due to extremely low
temperatures.
The hydraulic control system design (without electronic assist) provides the transmission with PARK, REVERSE,
NEUTRAL, SECOND, and THIRD gears, based solely on driver shift lever selection. This design allows the vehicle
to be driven (in “limp-in” mode) in the event of a electronic control system failure, or a situation that the Transmis-
sion Control Module (TCM) recognizes as potentially damaging to the transmission.
The TCM also performs certain self-diagnostic functions and provides comprehensive information (sensor data,
DTC’s, etc.) which is helpful in proper diagnosis and repair. This information can be viewed with the DRBT scan
tool.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING


AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
CAUTION: Before attempting any repair on a RFE automatic transmission, check for Diagnostic Trouble
Codes with the scan tool.

Transmission malfunctions may be caused by these general conditions:


• Poor engine performance
• Improper adjustments
• Hydraulic malfunctions
• Mechanical malfunctions
• Electronic malfunctions
Diagnosis of these problems should always begin by checking the easily accessible variables: fluid level and con-
dition, gearshift cable adjustment. Then perform a road test to determine if the problem has been corrected or if
more diagnosis is necessary. If the problem persists after the preliminary tests and corrections are completed,
hydraulic pressure checks should be performed.

PRELIMINARY
Two basic procedures are required. One procedure for vehicles that are drivable and an alternate procedure for
disabled vehicles (will not back up or move forward).

VEHICLE IS DRIVABLE
1. Check for transmission fault codes using scan tool.
2. Check fluid level and condition.
3. Adjust gearshift cable if complaint was based on delayed, erratic, or harsh shifts.
4. Road test and note how transmission upshifts, downshifts, and engages.
5. Perform hydraulic pressure test if shift problems were noted during road test.
6. Perform air-pressure test to check clutch operation.
WK AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 545RFE - SERVICE INFORMATION 21 - 303

VEHICLE IS DISABLED
1. Check fluid level and condition.
2. Check for broken or disconnected gearshift cable.
3. Check for cracked, leaking cooler lines, or loose or missing pressure-port plugs.
4. Raise and support vehicle on safety stands, start engine, shift transmission into gear, and note following:
a. If propeller shaft turns but wheels do not, problem is with differential or axle shafts.
b. If propeller shaft does not turn and transmission is noisy, stop engine. Remove oil pan, and check for debris.
If pan is clear, remove transmission and check for damaged driveplate, converter, oil pump, or input shaft.
c. If propeller shaft does not turn and transmission is not noisy, perform hydraulic-pressure test to determine if
problem is hydraulic or mechanical.

ROAD TESTING
Before road testing, be sure the fluid level and control cable adjustments have been checked and adjusted if nec-
essary. Verify that all diagnostic trouble codes have been resolved.
Observe engine performance during the road test. A poorly tuned engine will not allow accurate analysis of trans-
mission operation.
Operate the transmission in all gear ranges. Check for shift variations and engine flare which indicates slippage.
Note if shifts are harsh, spongy, delayed, early, or if part throttle downshifts are sensitive.
Slippage indicated by engine flare, usually means clutch, overrunning clutch, or line pressure problems.
A slipping clutch can often be determined by comparing which internal units are applied in the various gear ranges.
The Clutch Application charts provide a basis for analyzing road test results.

HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TEST


An accurate tachometer and pressure test gauges are required. Test Gauge C-3293-SP has a 300 psi range and is
used at all locations where pressures exceed 100 psi.

Pressure Test Port Locations

Only two pressure ports are supplied on the transmis-


sion case. The torque converter clutch apply (3) and
release (1) ports are located on the right side of the
transmission case.
WK AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 545RFE - SERVICE INFORMATION 21 - 305

To determine the line pressure, there are two available


methods. The scan tool can be used to read line pres-
sure from the line pressure sensor. The second
method is to install Line Pressure Adapter 8259 (3)
into the transmission case and then install the pres-
sure gauge and the original sensor (2) into the
adapter. This will allow a comparison of the scan tool
readings and the gauge reading to determine the
accuracy of the line pressure sensor. The scan tool
line pressure reading should match the gauge reading

In order to access any other pressure tap locations,


the transmission oil pan must be removed, the pres-
sure port plugs removed and Valve Body Pressure Tap
Adapter 8258-A (2) installed. The extensions supplied
with Adapter 8258-A will allow the installation of pres-
sure gauges to the valve body.
21 - 306 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 545RFE - SERVICE INFORMATION WK

Refer to the Pressure Tap Locations graphic for cor-


rect pressure tap location identification.

TEST PROCEDURE
All pressure readings should be taken with the transmission fluid level full, transmission oil at the normal operating
temperature, and the engine at 1500 rpm. Check the transmission for proper operation in each gear position that is
in question or if a specific element is in question, check the pressure readings in at least two gear positions that
employ that element. Refer to the Hydraulic Schematics at the rear of this section to determine the correct pres-
sures for each element in a given gear position.

NOTE: The 45RFE/545RFE utilizes closed loop control of pump line pressure. The pressure readings may
therefore vary greatly but should always follow line pressure.

Some common pressures that can be measured to evaluate pump and clutch performance are the upshift/downshift
pressures, garage shift pressures, and TCC pressure. The upshift/downshift pressure for all shifts are shown in
UPSHIFT PRESSURES and DOWNSHIFT PRESSURES . In-gear maximum pressure for each gear position is
shown in IN-GEAR PRESSURES . The garage shift pressure when performing a N-R shift is 220 psi for 3.7L/4.7L
equipped vehicles and 250 psi for 5.7L equipped vehicles. The garage shift pressure for the R-N shift is 120 psi.
The garage shift pressure for the N-1 shift is 135 psi for 3.7L/4.7L equipped vehicles and 165 psi for 5.7L equipped
vehicles. Torque converter lock-up pressure is 120 psi for 3.7L/4.7L equipped vehicles and 125 psi for 5.7L
equipped vehicles.

AIR CHECKING TRANSMISSION CLUTCH OPERATION

Air-pressure testing can be used to check transmis-


sion clutch operation. The test can be conducted with
the transmission either in the vehicle or on the work
bench, as a final check.
Air-pressure testing requires that the oil pan and valve
body be removed from the transmission. The clutch
apply passages are shown in the Air Pressure Test
Passages graphic.

NOTE: The air supply which is used must be free


of moisture and dirt. Use a pressure of 30 psi to
test clutch operation.

Apply air pressure at each port. If the clutch is func-


tioning, a soft thump will be heard as the clutch is
applied. The clutch application can also be felt by
touching the appropriate element while applying air
pressure. As the air pressure is released, the clutch
should also release.

CONVERTER HOUSING FLUID LEAK


When diagnosing converter housing fluid leaks, two items must be established before repair.
1. Verify that a leak condition actually exists.
2. Determined the true source of the leak.
Some suspected converter housing fluid leaks may not be leaks at all. They may only be the result of residual fluid
in the converter housing, or excess fluid spilled during factory fill or fill after repair. Converter housing leaks have
several potential sources. Through careful observation, a leak source can be identified before removing the trans-
mission for repair. Torque converter seal leaks tend to move along the drive hub and onto the rear of the converter.
Pump cover seal leaks tend to run down the cover and the inside surface of the bellhousing.
Some leaks, or suspected leaks, may be particularly difficult to locate. If necessary, a MoparT approved dye should
be used to locate and confirm a leak.
21 - 308 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 545RFE - SERVICE INFORMATION WK

TORQUE CONVERTER LEAK POINTS

Possible sources of converter leaks are:


1. Leaks at the weld joint around the outside diameter
weld.
2. Leaks at the converter hub weld.
In most cases, a torque converter which is wet from
transmission fluid indicates a leak at one of these
areas.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - ALUMINUM THREAD REPAIR


Damaged or worn threads in the aluminum transmission case and valve body can be repaired by the use of Heli-
Coils™, or equivalent. This repair consists of drilling out the worn-out damaged threads. Then tap the hole with a
special Heli-Coil™ tap, or equivalent, and installing a Heli-Coil™ insert, or equivalent, into the hole. This brings the
hole back to its original thread size.
Heli-Coil™, or equivalent, tools and inserts are readily available from most automotive parts suppliers.

REMOVAL
CAUTION: The transmission and torque converter must be removed as an assembly to avoid component
damage. The converter driveplate, oil pump, or oil seal can be damaged if the converter is left attached to
the driveplate during removal. Be sure to remove the transmission and converter as an assembly.

CLEANING
The use of crocus cloth is permissible where necessary, providing it is used carefully. When used on shafts, or
valves, use extreme care to avoid rounding off sharp edges. Sharp edges are vital as they prevent foreign matter
from getting between the valve and valve bore.
Do not reuse oil seals, gaskets, seal rings, or O-rings during overhaul. Replace these parts as a matter of course.
Also do not reuse snap rings or E-clips that are bent or distorted. Replace these parts as well.
Lubricate transmission parts with MoparT ATF +4, Automatic Transmission Fluid, during overhaul and assembly. Use
petroleum jelly, MoparT Door Ease, or Ru-Glyde to prelubricate seals, O-rings, and thrust washers. Petroleum jelly
can also be used to hold parts in place during reassembly.
Clean the case in a solvent tank. Flush the case bores and fluid passages thoroughly with solvent. Dry the case and
all fluid passages with compressed air. Be sure all solvent is removed from the case and that all fluid passages are
clear.

NOTE: Do not use shop towels or rags to dry the case (or any other transmission component) unless they
are made from lint-free materials. Lint will stick to case surfaces and transmission components and circu-
late throughout the transmission after assembly. A sufficient quantity of lint can block fluid passages and
interfere with valve body operation.

INSPECTION
Inspect the case for cracks, porous spots, worn bores, or damaged threads. Damaged threads can be repaired with
HelicoilT thread inserts. However, the case will have to be replaced if it exhibits any type of damage or wear.

ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Clean and inspect all components. Replace any components which show evidence of excessive wear
or scoring.

MECHANISM-BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK


DESCRIPTION

The Brake Transmission Shifter/Ignition Interlock


(BTSI) is a cable operated system that prevents the
transmission gear shifter from being moved out of
PARK without the proper driver inputs. The system
also contains a solenoid that is integral to the shifter
assembly. The solenoid works in conjunction with the
park lock cable (5) to permit shifter movement out of
PARK when the brake is depressed.

OPERATION

The Brake Transmission Shifter/Ignition Interlock


(BTSI) is engaged whenever the ignition switch is in
the LOCK (1) position. An additional electrically acti-
vated feature will prevent shifting out of the PARK
position unless the brake pedal is depressed at least
one-half inch. A solenoid in the shifter assembly is de-
energized when the ignition is in the ON position and
the brake pedal is depressed. When the key is in the
ON position and the brake pedal is depressed, the
shifter is unlocked and will move into any position. The
interlock system also prevents the ignition switch from
being turned to the LOCK position, unless the shifter
is in the gated PARK position.

The following chart describes the normal operation of the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) system. If the
“expected response” differs from the vehicle’s response, then system repair and/or adjustment is necessary.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK


SYSTEM VERIFICATION
1. Verify that the key can only be removed in the PARK position
2. When the shift lever is in PARK, the ignition key cylinder should rotate freely from ACC to LOCK. When the
shifter is in any other gear or neutral position, the ignition key cylinder should not rotate to the LOCK position.
3. Shifting out of PARK should not be possible when the ignition key cylinder is in the ACC position and the brake
pedal is not depressed.
4. Shifting out of PARK should not be possible while applying normal force on the shift lever and ignition key cyl-
inder is in the ACC, ON, or START positions unless the foot brake pedal is depressed approximately 1/2 inch
(12mm).
5. Shifting out of PARK should not be possible when the ignition key cylinder is in the LOCK position, regardless of
the brake pedal position.
6. Shifting between any gears, NEUTRAL or into PARK may be done without depressing foot brake pedal with
ignition switch in ACC, ON, or START positions.

FLUID AND FILTER


DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
EFFECTS OF INCORRECT FLUID LEVEL
A low fluid level allows the pump to take in air along with the fluid. Air in the fluid will cause fluid pressures to be
low and develop slower than normal. If the transmission is overfilled, the gears churn the fluid into foam. This aer-
ates the fluid and causing the same conditions occurring with a low level. In either case, air bubbles cause fluid
overheating, oxidation, and varnish buildup which interferes with valve and clutch operation. Foaming also causes
fluid expansion which can result in fluid overflow from the transmission vent or fill tube. Fluid overflow can easily be
mistaken for a leak if inspection is not careful.

CAUSES OF BURNT FLUID


Burnt, discolored fluid is a result of overheating which has three primary causes.
21 - 376 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 545RFE - SERVICE INFORMATION WK

1. Internal clutch slippage, usually caused by low line pressure, inadequate clutch apply pressure, or clutch seal
failure.
2. A result of restricted fluid flow through the main and/or auxiliary cooler. This condition is usually the result of
a faulty or improperly installed drainback valve, a damaged oil cooler, or severe restrictions in the coolers and
lines caused by debris or kinked lines.
3. Heavy duty operation with a vehicle not properly equipped for this type of operation. Trailer towing or similar
high load operation will overheat the transmission fluid if the vehicle is improperly equipped. Such vehicles should
have an auxiliary transmission fluid cooler, a heavy duty cooling system, and the engine/axle ratio combination
needed to handle heavy loads.

FLUID CONTAMINATION
Transmission fluid contamination is generally a result of:
• adding incorrect fluid
• failure to clean dipstick and fill tube when checking level
• engine coolant entering the fluid
• internal failure that generates debris
• overheat that generates sludge (fluid breakdown)
• failure to replace contaminated converter after repair
The use of non-recommended fluids can result in transmission failure. The usual results are erratic shifts, slippage,
abnormal wear and eventual failure due to fluid breakdown and sludge formation. Avoid this condition by using rec-
ommended fluids only.
The dipstick cap and fill tube should be wiped clean before checking fluid level. Dirt, grease and other foreign mate-
rial on the cap and tube could fall into the tube if not removed beforehand. Take the time to wipe the cap and tube
clean before withdrawing the dipstick.
Engine coolant in the transmission fluid is generally caused by a cooler malfunction. The only remedy is to replace
the radiator as the cooler in the radiator is not a serviceable part. If coolant has circulated through the transmission,
an overhaul is necessary.
The torque converter should be replaced whenever a failure generates sludge and debris. This is necessary
because normal converter flushing procedures will not remove all contaminants.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Low fluid level can cause a variety of conditions because it allows the pump to take in air along with the fluid. As
in any hydraulic system, air bubbles make the fluid spongy, therefore, pressures will be low and build up slowly.
Improper filling can also raise the fluid level too high. When the transmssion has too much fluid, the geartrain
churns up foam and cause the same conditions which occur with a low fluid level.
In either case, air bubbles can cause overheating and/or fluid oxidation, and varnishing. This can interfere with nor-
mal valve, clutch, and accumulator operation. Foaming can also result in fluid escaping from the transmission vent
where it may be mistaken for a leak.
After the fluid has been checked, seat the dipstick fully to seal out water and dirt.
The transmission has a dipstick to check oil level. It is located on the right side of the engine. Be sure to wipe all
dirt from dipstick handle before removing.
The torque converter fills in both the P (PARK) and N (NEUTRAL) positions. Place the selector lever in P (PARK)
to be sure that the fluid level check is accurate. The engine should be running at idle speed for at least one
minute, with the vehicle on level ground. At normal operating temperature (approximately 82 C. or 180 F.), the
fluid level is correct if it is in the HOT region (cross-hatched area) on the oil level indicator. The fluid level will be
approximately at the upper COLD hole of the dipstick at 70° F fluid temperature.
WK AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 545RFE - SERVICE INFORMATION 21 - 377

NOTE: Engine and Transmission should be at normal operating temperature before performing this proce-
dure.

1. Start engine and apply parking brake.

7. Read the transmission temperature value.
8. Compare the fluid temperature value with the chart.
9. Adjust transmission fluid level shown on the dipstick according to the Transmission Fluid Temperature Chart.

NOTE: After adding any fluid to the transmission, wait a minimum of 2 minutes for the oil to fully drain from
the fill tube into the transmission before rechecking the fluid level.

10. Check transmission for leaks.

and discard the oil filter seal from the bottom of
the oil pump. If the seal is installed correctly and
is in good condition, it can be reused.
12. If replacing the cooler return filter (2), use Oil Fil-
ter Wrench 8321 to remove the filter from the
transmission.
13. Dispose of used trans fluid and filter(s) properly.

INSPECTION
Inspect bottom of pan and magnet for excessive amounts of metal. A light coating of clutch material on the bottom
of the pan does not indicate a problem unless accompanied by a slipping condition or shift lag. If fluid and pan are
contaminated with excessive amounts of debris, refer to the diagnosis section of this group.

SENSOR-INPUT SPEED
DESCRIPTION
The Input and Output Speed Sensors are two-wire magnetic pickup devices that generate AC signals as rotation
occurs. They are mounted in the left side of the transmission case and are considered primary inputs to the Trans-
mission Control Module (TCM).

OPERATION
The Input Speed Sensor provides information on how fast the input shaft is rotating. As the teeth of the input clutch
hub pass by the sensor coil, an AC voltage is generated and sent to the TCM. The TCM interprets this information
as input shaft rpm.
The Output Speed Sensor generates an AC signal in a similar fashion, though its coil is excited by rotation of the
rear planetary carrier lugs. The TCM interprets this information as output shaft rpm.
The TCM compares the input and output speed signals to determine the following:
• Transmission gear ratio
• Speed ratio error detection
• CVI calculation
The TCM also compares the input speed signal and the engine speed signal to determine the following:
• Torque converter clutch slippage
• Torque converter element speed ratio

REMOVAL
1. Raise vehicle.
2. Place a suitable fluid catch pan under the transmis-
sion.
3. Remove the wiring connector from the input speed
sensor (3).
4. Remove the bolt holding the input speed sensor to

3. Install the wiring connector onto the input speed
sensor.
4. Verify the transmission fluid level. Add fluid as nec-
essary.
5. Lower vehicle.

SENSOR-LINE PRESSURE
DESCRIPTION
The TCM utilizes a closed-loop system to control transmission line pressure. The system contains a variable force
style solenoid, the Pressure Control Solenoid, mounted on the side of the solenoid and pressure switch assembly.
The solenoid is duty cycle controlled by the TCM to vent the unnecessary line pressure supplied by the oil pump
back to the sump. The system also contains a variable pressure style sensor, the Line Pressure Sensor, which is a
direct input to the TCM. The line pressure solenoid monitors the transmission line pressure and completes the feed-
back loop to the TCM. The TCM uses this information to adjust its control of the pressure control solenoid to
achieve the desired line pressure.

OPERATION
The TCM calculates the desired line pressure based upon inputs from the transmission and engine. The TCM cal-
culates the torque input to the transmission and uses that information as the primary input to the calculation. The
line pressure is set to a predetermined value during shifts and when the transmission is in the PARK and NEUTRAL
positions. This is done to ensure consistent shift quality. During all other operation, the actual line pressure is com-
pared to the desired line pressure and adjustments are made to the pressure control solenoid duty cycle.

PUMP-OIL
DESCRIPTION

The oil pump (2) is located at the front of the trans-


mission inside the bell housing and behind the trans-
mission front cover.

The oil pump consists of two independent pumps.

The oil pump also contains a number of valves. The


converter clutch switch (3) and control valves (2),
pressure regulator valve (5), and converter pressure
limit valve (6) are all located in the oil pump valve
body.

Oil Pump Reaction Shaft

1 - PUMP HOUSING 4 - SEAL RING (5)


2 - SEAL 5 - REACTION SHAFT SUPPORT

A front seal (2), and a bolt on reaction shaft (5) complete the oil pump assembly.

OPERATION
As the torque converter rotates, the converter hub rotates the oil pump drive gear. As the drive gear rotates both
driven gears, a vacuum is created when the gear teeth come out of mesh. This suction draws fluid through the
pump inlet from the oil pan. As the gear teeth come back into mesh, pressurized fluid is forced into the pump outlet
and to the oil pump valves.
At low speeds, both sides of the pump supply fluid to the transmission. As the speed of the torque converter
increases, the flow from both sides increases until the flow from the primary side alone is sufficient to meet system
demands. At this point, the check valve located between the two pumps closes. The secondary side is shut down
and the primary side supplies all the fluid to the transmission.
21 - 410 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 545RFE - SERVICE INFORMATION WK

CONVERTER CLUTCH SWITCH VALVE


The converter clutch switch valve is used to control the hydraulic pressure supplied to the front (OFF) side of the
torque converter clutch.

CONVERTER CLUTCH REGULATOR VALVE


The converter clutch regulator valve is used to control the hydraulic pressure supplied to the back (ON) side of the
torque converter clutch.

TORQUE CONVERTER LIMIT VALVE


The torque converter limit valve serves to limit the available line pressure to the torque converter clutch.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - OIL PUMP VOLUME CHECK


Measuring the oil pump output volume will determine if sufficient oil flow to the transmission oil cooler exists, and
whether or not an internal transmission failure is present.
Verify that the transmission fluid is at the proper level. Refer to the Fluid Level Check procedure in this section. If
necessary, fill the transmission to the proper level with MoparT ATF +4, Automatic Transmission Fluid.
1. Disconnect the To cooler line at the cooler inlet and place a collecting container under the disconnected line.

CAUTION: With the fluid set at the proper level, fluid collection should not exceed (1) quart or internal dam-
age to the transmission may occur.

2. Run the engine at 1800 rpm, with the shift selector in neutral. Verify that the transmission fluid temperature is
below 104.5° C (220° F) for this test.
3. If one quart of transmission fluid is collected in the container in 30 seconds or less, oil pump flow volume is
within acceptable limits. If fluid flow is intermittent, or it takes more than 30 seconds to collect one quart of fluid,
refer to the Hydraulic Pressure tests in this section for further diagnosis.
4. Re-connect the To cooler line to the transmission cooler inlet.
5. Refill the transmission to proper level.

INSPECTION
Check condition of the seal rings and thrust washer on the reaction shaft support. The seal rings do not need to be
replaced unless cracked, broken, or severely worn.
Inspect the pump and support components. Replace the pump or support if the seal ring grooves or machined sur-
faces are worn, scored, pitted, or damaged. Replace the pump gears if pitted, worn chipped, or damaged.
Inspect the pump reaction shaft support bushings. Replace either bushing only if heavily worn, scored or damaged.
It is not necessary to replace the bushings unless they are actually damaged.
Inspect the valves and plugs for scratches, burrs, nicks, or scores. Minor surface scratches on steel valves and
plugs can be removed with crocus cloth but do not round off the edges of the valve or plug lands. Maintaining
sharpness of these edges is vitally important. The edges prevent foreign matter from lodging between the valves
and plugs and the bore.
Inspect all the valve and plug bores in the oil pump cover. Use a penlight to view the bore interiors. Replace the oil
pump if any bores are distorted or scored. Inspect all of the valve springs. The springs must be free of distortion,
warpage or broken coils.
Trial fit each valve and plug in its bore to check freedom of operation. When clean and dry, the valves and plugs
should drop freely into the bores.

ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Clean and inspect all components. Make sure that all passages are thoroughly cleaned and are free
from dirt or debris. Make sure that all valves move freely in their proper bore. Make sure that all gear pock-
ets and bushings are free from excessive wear and scoring. Replace the oil pump if any excessive wear or
scoring is found.

SENSOR-OUTPUT SPEED
DESCRIPTION
The Input and Output Speed Sensors are two-wire magnetic pickup devices that generate AC signals as rotation
occurs. They are mounted in the left side of the transmission case and are considered primary inputs to the Trans-
mission Control Module (TCM).

OPERATION
The Input Speed Sensor provides information on how fast the input shaft is rotating. As the teeth of the input clutch
hub pass by the sensor coil, an AC voltage is generated and sent to the TCM. The TCM interprets this information
as input shaft rpm.
The Output Speed Sensor generates an AC signal in a similar fashion, though its coil is excited by rotation of the
rear planetary carrier lugs. The TCM interprets this information as output shaft rpm.
The TCM compares the input and output speed signals to determine the following:
• Transmission gear ratio
• Speed ratio error detection
• CVI calculation
The TCM also compares the input speed signal and the engine speed signal to determine the following:
• Torque converter clutch slippage
• Torque converter element speed ratio

MECHANISM-SHIFT
DESCRIPTION

The automatic transmission is operated with the help


of a shift lever assembly (SLA) (1) located in the floor
console. There are four positions to which the selec-
tion lever can be shifted: P, R, N, D. In addition, the
selector lever can be moved sideways (+/-) in position
9D9 to adjust the shift range.
All selector lever positions are identified by the SLA
and transmitted by a shift cable to the selector shaft in
the transmission.

The SLA is comprised of the following functions:


• Key lock: Depending on the selector lever position, the ignition cylinder is locked/unlocked, i.e., the ignition
key can be removed only if the selector lever is in position 9P9. A park lock cable is used to perform this
function.
• Park lock: The selector lever is not released from postion 9P9 until the brake pedal has been applied and the
ignition key is in ”ACC” or ON” positions. Shift lock is controlled by the brake light switch in conjunction with a
locking solenoid in the SLA. As soon as the brake pedal is applied firmly, the locking solenoid is de-energized
to unlock the selector lever.

OPERATION
With the selector lever in position 9D9, the transmission control module (TCM) automatically shifts the gears that are
best-suited to the current operating situation. This means that shifting of gears is continuously adjusted to current
driving and operating conditions in line with the selected shift range and the accelerator pedal position. Starting off
is always performed in 1st gear.
The current selector lever position or, if the shift range has been limited, the current shift range is indicated in the
instrument cluster display.
The permissible shifter positions and transmission operating ranges are:
• P = Parking lock and engine starting.
• R = Reverse.
• N = Neutral and engine starting (no power is transmitted to the axles).
• D = The shift range includes all forward gears.
The shift range can be adjusted to the current operating conditions by tipping the selector lever to the left-hand side
(9-9) or the right-hand side (9+9) when in position 9D9. If the shift range is limited, the display in the instrument cluster
indicates the selected shift range and not the currently engaged gear.
• 4= Shift range is limited to gears 1 to 4.
• 3= Shift range is limited to gears 1 to 3.
• 2= Shift range is limited to gears 1 to 2.
21 - 428 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 545RFE - SERVICE INFORMATION WK

• 1= Shift range is limited to the 1st gear.


Tipping the shift lever will have the following results:
• Tipping the selector lever toward (-( one time after another: The shift range is reduced in descending
sequence by one gear each time, i.e., from D - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1. If the selected limitation of the shift range would
result in a downshift causing excessive engine speed, the shifting is not executed and the engaged gear as
well as the shift range remain unchanged. This is to prevent the engine from overspeeding. Engine retardation
is low with the selector lever in position 9D9. To make use of the full braking power of the engine, 9manual9
downshifting by tipping the lever towards the left-hand side is recommended. If this has been done, subse-
quent upshifting must be carried out manually as well.
• Tipping the selector lever toward (-( and holding it in this position: The currently engaged gear in range
9D9 is indicated in the instrument cluster display and the shift range is limited to this gear.
• Tipping the selector lever toward (+( one time after another: The shift range is increased by one gear each
time and the increased shift range is displayed in the instrument cluster; possibly, the transmission upshifts to
a faster gear.
• Tipping the selector lever toward (+( several times: The shift range is increased by one gear each time the
lever is tipped until the shift range ends up in 9D9.
• Tipping the selector lever toward (+( and holding it in this position: The shift range is extended immedi-
ately to 9D9, shift ranges are indicated in ascending sequence; possibly, the transmission upshifts to a faster
gear due to the extension of the shift range.

VALVE-SOLENOID SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The Solenoid Switch Valve (SSV) is located in the valve body and controls the direction of the transmission fluid
when the L/R-TCC solenoid is energized.

OPERATION
The Solenoid Switch Valve controls line pressure from the LR-TCC solenoid. In 1st gear, the SSV will be in the
downshifted position, thus directing fluid to the L/R clutch circuit. In 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears, the solenoid switch
valve will be in the upshifted position and directs the fluid into the torque converter clutch (TCC) circuit.
When shifting into 1st gear, a special hydraulic sequence is performed to ensure SSV movement into the down-
shifted position. The L/R pressure switch is monitored to confirm SSV movement. If the movement is not confirmed
(the L/R pressure switch does not close), 2nd gear is substituted for 1st. A DTC will be set after three unsuccessful
attempts are made to get into 1st gear in one given key start.

CONVERTER-TORQUE
DESCRIPTION

The torque converter is a hydraulic device that cou-


ples the engine crankshaft to the transmission. The
torque converter consists of an outer shell with an
internal turbine (1), a stator (2), an overrunning clutch,
an impeller (5), and an electronically applied converter
clutch (6). The converter clutch provides reduced
engine speed and greater fuel economy when
engaged. Clutch engagement also provides reduced
transmission fluid temperatures. The torque converter
hub (3) drives the transmission oil (fluid) pump and
contains an o-ring seal (4) to better control oil flow.
The torque converter is a sealed, welded unit that is
not repairable and is serviced as an assembly.

CAUTION: The torque converter must be replaced


if a transmission failure resulted in large amounts
of metal or fiber contamination in the fluid. 1 - TURBINE ASSEMBLY

STATOR

The stator assembly is mounted on a stationary shaft


which is an integral part of the oil pump. The stator (1)
is located between the impeller (2) and the turbine (4)
within the torque converter case.

The stator contains an over-running clutch (1-4), which


allows the stator to rotate only in a clockwise direction.
When the stator is locked against the over-running
clutch, the torque multiplication feature of the torque
converter is operational.

TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC)

The TCC was installed to improve the efficiency of the


torque converter that is lost to the slippage of the fluid

shock-free power transfer, it is natural for all fluid cou-
plings to slip. If the impeller (3) and turbine (5) were
mechanically locked together, a zero slippage condi-
tion could be obtained. A hydraulic piston (6) with fric-
tion material (7) was added to the turbine assembly
(5) to provide this mechanical lock-up.
In order to reduce heat build-up in the transmission
and buffer the powertrain against torsional vibrations,
the TCM can duty cycle the L/R-CC Solenoid to
achieve a smooth application of the torque converter
clutch. This function, referred to as Electronically Mod-
ulated Converter Clutch (EMCC) can occur at various
times depending on the following variables:
• Shift lever position
• Current gear range
• Transmission fluid temperature
• Engine coolant temperature
• Input speed
• Throttle angle
• Engine speed

OPERATION
The converter impeller (driving member), which is integral to the converter housing and bolted to the engine drive
plate, rotates at engine speed. The converter turbine (driven member), which reacts from fluid pressure generated
by the impeller, rotates and turns the transmission input shaft.

Torque Converter Fluid Operation - Typical

1 - APPLY PRESSURE 3 - RELEASE PRESSURE


2 - THE PISTON MOVES SLIGHTLY FORWARD 4 - THE PISTON MOVES SLIGHTLY REARWARD

TURBINE
As the fluid that was put into motion by the impeller blades strikes the blades of the turbine, some of the energy and
rotational force is transferred into the turbine and the input shaft. This causes both of them (turbine and input shaft)
to rotate in a clockwise direction following the impeller. As the fluid is leaving the trailing edges of the turbine’s
blades it continues in a “hindering” direction back toward the impeller. If the fluid is not redirected before it strikes
the impeller, it will strike the impeller in such a direction that it would tend to slow it down.

STATOR
Torque multiplication is achieved by locking the stator’s over-running clutch to its shaft. Under stall conditions (the
turbine is stationary), the oil leaving the turbine blades strikes the face of the stator blades and tries to rotate them
in a counterclockwise direction. When this happens the over-running clutch of the stator locks and holds the stator
from rotating. With the stator locked, the oil strikes the stator blades and is redirected into a “helping” direction
before it enters the impeller. This circulation of oil from impeller to turbine, turbine to stator, and stator to impeller,
can produce a maximum torque multiplication of about 2.4:1. As the turbine begins to match the speed of the impel-
ler, the fluid that was hitting the stator in such as way as to cause it to lock-up is no longer doing so. In this con-
dition of operation, the stator begins to free wheel and the converter acts as a fluid coupling.
21 - 438 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 545RFE - SERVICE INFORMATION WK

TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC)


In a standard torque converter, the impeller and tur-
bine are rotating at about the same speed and the
stator is freewheeling, providing no torque multiplica-
tion. By applying the turbine’s piston and friction mate-
rial to the front cover, a total converter engagement
can be obtained. The result of this engagement is a
direct 1:1 mechanical link between the engine and the
transmission.
The clutch can be engaged in second, third, fourth,
and fifth gear ranges depending on overdrive control
switch position. If the overdrive control switch is in the
normal ON position, the clutch will engage after the
shift to fourth gear, and above approximately 72 km/h
(45 mph). If the control switch is in the OFF position,
the clutch will engage after the shift to third gear, at approximately 56 km/h (35 mph) at light throttle.
The TCM controls the torque converter by way of internal logic software. The programming of the software provides
the TCM with control over the L/R-CC Solenoid. There are four output logic states that can be applied as follows:
• No EMCC
• Partial EMCC
• Full EMCC
• Gradual-to-no EMCC

NO EMCC

Under No EMCC conditions, the L/R Solenoid is OFF. There are several conditions that can result in NO EMCC
operations. No EMCC can be initiated due to a fault in the transmission or because the TCM does not see the need
for EMCC under current driving conditions.

PARTIAL EMCC

Partial EMCC operation modulates the L/R Solenoid (duty cycle) to obtain partial torque converter clutch application.
Partial EMCC operation is maintained until Full EMCC is called for and actuated. During Partial EMCC some slip
does occur. Partial EMCC will usually occur at low speeds, low load and light throttle situations.

FULL EMCC

During Full EMCC operation, the TCM increases the L/R Solenoid duty cycle to full ON after Partial EMCC control
brings the engine speed within the desired slip range of transmission input speed relative to engine rpm.

GRADUAL-TO-NO EMCC

This operation is to soften the change from Full or Partial EMCC to No EMCC. This is done at mid-throttle by
decreasing the L/R Solenoid duty cycle.

REMOVAL
1. Remove transmission and torque converter from vehicle. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/
545RFE - REMOVAL)
2. Place a suitable drain pan under the converter housing end of the transmission.

CAUTION: Verify that transmission is secure on the lifting device or work surface, the center of gravity of
the transmission will shift when the torque converter is removed creating an unstable condition. The torque
converter is a heavy unit. Use caution when separating the torque converter from the transmission.

3. Pull the torque converter forward until the center hub clears the oil pump seal.
4. Separate the torque converter from the transmission.
WK AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 545RFE - SERVICE INFORMATION 21 - 439

INSTALLATION
NOTE: Check converter hub and drive flats for sharp edges, burrs, scratches, or nicks. Polish the hub and
flats with 320/400 grit paper or crocus cloth if necessary. Verify that the converter hub o-ring is properly
installed and is free from debris. The hub must be smooth to avoid damaging the pump seal at installation.

1. Lubricate oil pump seal lip with transmission fluid.


2. Place torque converter in position on transmission.

CAUTION: Do not damage oil pump seal or con-


verter hub o-ring while inserting torque converter
into the front of the transmission.

3. Align torque converter to oil pump seal opening.


4. Insert torque converter hub into oil pump.
5. While pushing torque converter inward, rotate con-
verter until converter is fully seated in the oil pump
gears.
6. Check converter seating with a scale (1) and
straightedge (2). Surface of converter lugs should
be at least 13 mm (1/2 in.) to rear of straightedge
when converter is fully seated.
7. If necessary, temporarily secure converter with
C-clamp attached to the converter housing.
8. Install the transmission in the vehicle.
9. Fill the transmission with the recommended fluid.

SWITCH-TOW/HAUL OVERDRIVE
DESCRIPTION
The tow/haul overdrive OFF (control) switch is located in the lower portion of the center instrument panel switch
cluster. The switch is a momentary contact device that signals the PCM to toggle current status of the overdrive
function.

OPERATION
At key-on, overdrive operation is allowed. Pressing the switch once causes the tow/haul overdrive OFF mode to be
entered and the Tow/Haul lamp to be illuminated. Pressing the switch a second time causes normal overdrive oper-
ation to be restored and the tow/haul lamp to be turned off. The tow/haul overdrive OFF mode defaults to ON after
the ignition switch is cycled OFF and ON. The normal position for the control switch is the ON position. The switch
must be in this position to energize the solenoid and allow a 3-4 upshift. The control switch indicator light illuminates
only when the tow/haul overdrive switch is turned to the OFF position, or when illuminated by the transmission
control module.

RELAY-TRANSMISSION CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
The relay is supplied fused B+ voltage, energized by the TCM, and is used to supply power to the solenoid pack
when the transmission is in normal operating mode.
21 - 440 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 545RFE - SERVICE INFORMATION WK

OPERATION
When the relay is “off”, no power is supplied to the solenoid pack and the transmission is in “limp-in” mode. After a
controller reset, the TCM energizes the relay. Prior to this, the TCM verifies that the contacts are open by checking
for no voltage at the switched battery terminals. After this is verified, the voltage at the solenoid pack pressure
switches is checked. After the relay is energized, the TCM monitors the terminals to verify that the voltage is greater
than 3 volts.

SENSOR-TRANSMISSION RANGE
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) is part of the solenoid module, which is mounted to the top of the valve
body inside the transmission.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has five switch contact pins that:
• Determine shift lever position
• Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and Neutral only.
• Supply +12 V to the backup lamps in Reverse only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor (thermistor) that communicates transmission temperature to the
TCM and PCM.

OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position to the TCM as a combination of open and
closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of switch states (open/closed) that the TCM
receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this information and determines the appropriate transmission
gear position and shift schedule.
There are many possible combinations of open and closed switches (codes). Seven of these possible codes are
related to gear position and five are recognized as “between gear” codes. This results in many codes which should
never occur. These are called “invalid” codes. An invalid code will result in a DTC, and the TCM will then determine
the shift lever position based on pressure switch data. This allows reasonably normal transmission operation with a
TRS failure.

ASSEMBLY-TRANSMISSION SOLENOID/TRS
DESCRIPTION

The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to


the transmission and mounted on the valve body
assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that
control hydraulic pressure to the six friction elements
(transmission clutches), and the torque converter
clutch. The pressure control solenoid is located on the
side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS
assembly also contains five pressure switches that
feed information to the TCM.

OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is controlled by
line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids are contained within the
Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure switch assembly contains one additional sole-
noid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire. The TCM ener-
gizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the solenoid as necessary. When a
solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid passage is opened or closed (vented or applied),
depending on its default operating state. The result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off depending on
its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If no spike is detected, the
circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a
speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
21 - 442 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 545RFE - SERVICE INFORMATION WK

PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD hydraulic cir-
cuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch circuit hydraulic failures occur.
The switches close at approximately 23 psi and open at approximately 11 psi, and simply indicate whether or not
pressure exists. The switches are continuously monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each
gear as shown in the following chart:

GEAR L/R 2C 4C UD OD

R OP OP OP OP OP
P/N CL OP OP OP OP
1ST CL* OP OP CL OP
2ND OP CL OP CL OP
2ND PRIME OP OP CL CL OP
D OP OP OP CL CL

5TH OP CL OP OP CL

*L/R is closed if output speed is below 100 rpm in Drive and Manual 2. L/R is open in Manual 1.
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the wrong time in a given
gear.

REMOVAL
1. Remove the valve body from the transmission.
(Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/AUTOMATIC -
45RFE/545RFE/VALVE BODY - REMOVAL)

5. Tighten the remainder of the solenoid assembly
screws to 5.7 N·m (50 in.lbs.).
6. Install the valve body into the transmission.

SENSOR-TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE
DESCRIPTION
The transmission temperature sensor is a thermistor that is integral to the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS).

OPERATION
The transmission temperature sensor is used by the TCM to sense the temperature of the fluid in the sump. Since
fluid temperature can affect transmission shift quality and convertor lock up, the TCM requires this information to
determine which shift schedule to operate in.

Calculated Temperature
A failure in the temperature sensor or circuit will result in calculated temperature being substituted for actual tem-
perature. Calculated temperature is a predicted fluid temperature which is calculated from a combination of inputs:
• Battery (ambient) temperature
21 - 444 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 545RFE - SERVICE INFORMATION WK

• Engine coolant temperature


• In-gear run time since start-up

WK AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 545RFE - SERVICE INFORMATION 21 - 445

• 7 check balls

OPERATION
NOTE: Refer to the Hydraulic Schematics for a visual aid in determining valve location, operation and
design.

SOLENOID SWITCH VALVE


The Solenoid Switch Valve (SSV) controls the direction of the transmission fluid when the L/R-TCC solenoid is ener-
gized.
The Solenoid Switch Valve controls line pressure from the LR-TCC solenoid. In 1st gear, the SSV will be in the
downshifted position, thus directing fluid to the L/R clutch circuit. In 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and fifth gears, the solenoid switch
valve will be in the upshifted position and directs the fluid into the torque converter clutch (TCC) circuit.
When shifting into 1st gear, a special hydraulic sequence is performed to ensure SSV movement into the down-
shifted position. The L/R pressure switch is monitored to confirm SSV movement. If the movement is not confirmed
(the L/R pressure switch does not close), 2nd gear is substituted for 1st. A DTC will be set after three unsuccessful
attempts are made to get into 1st gear in one given key start.

MANUAL VALVE

The manual valve is a relay valve. The purpose of the


manual valve is to direct fluid to the correct circuit
needed for a specific gear or driving range. The man-
ual valve, as the name implies, is manually operated
by the driver with a lever located on the top of the
valve body. The valve is connected mechanically by a
cable to the gearshift mechanism. The valve is held in
each of its positions by a roller detent spring (2) that
engages the “roostercomb” of the TRS selector plate
(1).

INSPECTION

Inspect all of the valve body mating surfaces for


scratches, nicks, burrs, or distortion. Use a straight-
edge to check surface flatness. Minor scratches may
be removed with crocus cloth using only very light
pressure.
Minor distortion of a valve body mating surface may
be corrected by smoothing the surface with a sheet of
crocus cloth. Position the crocus cloth on a surface
plate, sheet of plate glass or equally flat surface. If
distortion is severe or any surfaces are heavily scored,
the valve body will have to be replaced.
Inspect the valves and plugs for scratches, burrs,
nicks, or scores. Minor surface scratches on steel
valves and plugs can be removed with crocus cloth
but do not round off the edges of the valve or plug
lands. Maintaining sharpness of these edges is vitally
important. The edges prevent foreign matter from
lodging between the valves and plugs and the bore.
Inspect all the valve and plug bores in the valve body.
Use a penlight to view the bore interiors. Replace the
valve body if any bores are distorted or scored.
Inspect all of the valve body springs. The springs must
be free of distortion, warpage or broken coils.
Trial fit each valve and plug in its bore to check free-
dom of operation. When clean and dry, the valves and
plugs should drop freely into the bores. 1 - SOLENOID SWITCH VALVE

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION NAG1 - ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS


DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
WK AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION NAG1 - ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS 21 - 459

P0219–ENGINE OVERSPEED
For the Transmission circuit diagram (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - NAG1 - SCHE-
MATICS AND DIAGRAMS)
For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W
Theory of Operation
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) monitors the engine speed over the CAN bus. If the engine speed is
greater than 4100+ 800 RPM, the TCM assumes that either the information from the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) is incorrect or that a major mechanical problem exist. Once the DTC is set, the TCM will position the trans-
mission gear into neutral to protect the engine and transmissin from damage. The transmission will remain in neutral
and will not be revaluated by the TCM until the ignition is cycled.

• When Monitored:
Continuously with the ignition on, engine running, with the transmission in gear with a valid Engine RPM mes-
sage received at least once, and the CAN Bus Circuit and Engine CAN Message Missing are not active.
• Set Condition:
Engine speed is greater than 4100+ 800 RPM.

Theory of Operation
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) constantly calculates the transmission ratio based on the input speed sen-
sor 1 and 2 (N2-N3) signals and the calculated output shaft speed. The intent of this diagnostic is to detect if the
transmission is trying to mechanically shift into a lower gear then the TCM intends.

errors present, no gear selector lever errors present, no ABS system errors, and all wheel speeds above 450
RPM.
• Set Condition:
No shifting operation and detected gear is not the actual gear. No shifting operation - detected (calculated)
gear is less than actual (expected) gear, no plausible gear is calculated, actual turbine speed - calculated tur-
bine speed is greater than 300 RPM or calculated transmission ratio is above threshold. During an Upshift -
detected (calculated) gear is less than actual (expected) gear. During Downshift - detected (calculated) gear is

For the Transmission circuit diagram (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - NAG1 - SCHE-
MATICS AND DIAGRAMS)
For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W
Theory of Operation
The TCC Solenoid is activated when the Transmission Control Module (TCM) determines that the Torque Converter
Clutch should be activated. The Torque Converter Clutch is a variable slip torque clutch that allows control of the
slip from 5.5% to 95.5% of lock-up. The Clutch is controlled by the TCC Solenoid which is pulse width modulated
(PWM) to provide the desired amount of slip. The clutch requires both an electrical PWM of 1000Hz and an hydrau-
lic PWM of 100Hz.

• When Monitored:
Continuously with the ignition on, engine running, with the transmission in gear, the TCC Solenoid is inactive,
or when the TCC Solenoid is active and controlled above 25% duty cycle, with the Solenoid Supply voltage
active.
• Set Condition:

Theory of Operation
The Modulating Pressure Control Solenoid Valve’s purpose is to control the modulating pressure depending on the
continuously changing operating conditions, such as load and gear change.
The Modulating Pressure Control Solenoid Valve is always active. The solenoid uses pulse width modulation (PWM)
to control the transmissions hydraulic fluid pressure that is determined by the Transmission Control Module (TCM).
• When Monitored:
Continuously with the ignition on, engine running, the Modulating Pressure Control Solenoid Valve is either off,
or active with 25-75% duty cycle, with no Solenoid Supply Voltage DTCs present.
• Set Condition:
When the Modulating Pressure Control Solenoid Valve is turned on and the Solenoid driver detects an error
(the measured current is too different then the target current) or when the solenoid is off and a short to ground
is detected.

For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W
Theory of Operation
The NAG1 transmission has two input speed sensors 1 and 2 (N2 and N3), both speed sensors are located on the
valve body. The speed sensors are hall effect speed sensors that are used by the Transmission Control Module
(TCM) to calculate the transmissions input speed. Since the input speed could not be measured directly, two of the
drive elements are measured. Two input speed sensors were required because both drive elements are not active
in all gears.
The input speed sensors 1 and 2 will report the same input speed in gears 2nd, 3rd or 4th. If the 1 and 2 input
speed sensor signals are not the same in these gears, the TCM will set the DTC P2784-Input Speed Sensor 1/2
Correlation. The input speed sensor 2 is not reported in 1st and 5th gears. The input speed sensor 1 (N2) is not
reported in Reverse. The P01704-Input Speed Sensor 1 Overspeed and P01705-Input Speed Sensor 2 Overspeed
DTCs are rationality checks designed to detect a major transmission failure. If either DTC is detected, the TCM will
place the transmission in Neutral.

For the Transmission circuit diagram (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - NAG1 - SCHE-
MATICS AND DIAGRAMS)
For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W
Theory of Operation
The TCM compares the calculated gear with the gear the transmission has actually engaged. The actual gear is
identified by verifying the signals of the two input speed sensors 1 (N2) and 2 (N3) as well as the transmission
output speed (from the ABS system). If the actual gear differs from the gear calculated by the TCM, the TCM value
is adjusted to the engaged gear and a counter is increased by 2 points. If after a shift the engaged gear and the
calculated gear still match, the counter is decreased by 1 point. A DTC is detected as soon as the counter exceeds
a threshold.

• When Monitored:
The conditions for gear detection are: engine speed greater than 450 rpm, no input speed sensor failures are
active, no selector lever error active, selector lever is not in intermediate position, selector lever position is not
showing power-up value, no output speed error is active, no transfer case error is active, output speed (ABS
system) greater than 180 rpm, no wheel speed (ABS system) overspeed detected.
• Set Condition:
The detected gear calculated by the TCM is not identical to the actual gear. Exception: detected gear is 1st
and actual gear is 2nd. If the problem is present for three consecutive ignition cycles, the TCM places the
transmission into Limp-in mode until the DTC is cleared by the scan tool.

Theory of Operation
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) monitors the friction loss of the torque converter clutch while it is in slip-
ping mode. The TCM calculates friction loss using CAN communication signals such as, engine speed and engine
torque, as well as the torque converter turbine speed computed by the TCM. Depending on the friction loss calcu-
lated in each program cycle, a corresponding value is added to a factor as long as the torque converter clutch is in
slipping mode. The factor is set to 0 when the clutch is opened. If the factor reaches a specified value a DTC is set.

Electronic Gear Shift control modules over the CAN C bus. The CAN C bus is a high speed communication bus that
allows real time control capability between various controllers. Most messages are sent every 20 mSec, this means
critical information can be shared between multiple controllers almost instantaneously. The CAN C bus is a two wire
bus with a CAN (+) and a CAN (-) circuit. To reduce the potential of radio and other electrical noise interference, the
CAN Bus circuit wiring is manufactured using a twisted pair configuration within the electrical wiring harness.

Low fluid level can be the cause of many transmission problems. If the fluid level is low, locate and repair
the leak then check and adjust the fluid level in accordance with the Service Information.
Always perform diagnostics with a fully charged battery to avoid false symptoms.
With the scan tool, read the engine DTCs. Check and repair all engine DTCs prior to performing transmission symp-
tom diagnostic procedures.
With the scan tool, read and record all Transmission DTCs.
NOTE: If the TCM detects and stores a DTC, the TCM also stores the vehicles operating conditions under
which the DTC originally set and is located in scan tool under Environmental Data. Before erasing any
stored DTCs, record any available data to assist in duplicating the conditions in which the DTC originally
set.
Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.Check connectors - Clean/re-
pair as necessary.
Most DTCs set on start up but some must be set by driving the vehicle such that all diagnostic monitors have run.
Verify flash level of transmission controller. Some problems are corrected by software upgrades to the transmission
controller. Verify no variant DTCs are present. If variant DTCs are present, perform their respective test first.
If the TCM (EGS) is flashed, perform a EGS initialization with the scan tool to relearn variant coding.

The NAG1 automatic transmission is an electronically controlled 5-speed transmission with a lock-up clutch in the
torque converter. The ratios for the gear stages are obtained by 3 planetary gear sets. Fifth gear is designed as an
overdrive with a high-speed ratio.
21 - 692 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - NAG1 - SERVICE INFORMATION WK

NAG1 identifies a family of transmissions and means “N”ew “A”utomatic “G”earbox, generation 1. Various marketing
names are associated with the NAG1 family of transmissions, depending on the transmisson variation being used in
a specific vehicle. Some examples of the marketing names are: W5A300, W5A380, and W5A580. The marketing
name can be interpreted as follows:
• W = A transmission using a hydraulic torque converter.
• 5 = 5 forward gears.
• A = Automatic Transmission.
• 580 = Maximum input torque capacity in Newton meters.
The gears are actuated electronically/hydraulically. The gears are shifted by means of an appropriate combination of
three multi-disc holding clutches, three multi-disc driving clutches, and two freewheeling clutches.
Electronic transmission control enables precise adaptation of pressures to the respective operating conditions and to
the engine output during the shift phase which results in a significant improvement in shift quality.
Furthermore, it offers the advantage of a flexible adaptation to various vehicle and engines.
Basically, the automatic transmission with electronic control offers the following advantages:
• Reduces fuel consumption.
• Improved shift comfort.
• More favourable step-up through the five gears.
• Increased service life and reliability.
• Lower maintenance costs.

TRANSMISSION IDENTIFICATION
The transmission can be generically identified visually by the presence of a round 13-way connector located near
the front corner of the transmission oil pan, on the right side. Specific transmission information can be found
stamped into a pad on the left side of the transmission, above the oil pan rail.

TRANSMISSION HOUSING
The converter housing and transmission are made from a light alloy. These are bolted together and centered via the
outer multi-disc carrier of multi-disc holding clutch, B1. A coated intermediate plate provides the sealing. The oil
pump and the outer multi-disc carrier of the multi-disc holding clutch, B1, are bolted to the converter housing. The
stator shaft is pressed into it and prevented from rotating by splines. The electrohydraulic unit is bolted to the trans-
mission housing from underneath. A sheet metal steel oil pan forms the closure.

MECHANICAL SECTION
The mechanical section consists of a input shaft, output shaft, a sun gear shaft, and three planetary gear sets which
are coupled to each other. The planetary gear sets each have four planetary pinion gears. The oil pressure for the
torque converter lock-up clutch and clutch K2 is supplied through bores in the input shaft. The oil pressure to clutch
K3 is transmitted through the output shaft. The lubricating oil is distributed through additional bores in both shafts.
All the bearing points of the gear sets, as well as the freewheeling clutches and actuators, are supplied with lubri-
cating oil. The parking lock gear is connected to the output shaft via splines.
Freewheeling clutches F1 and F2 are used to optimize the shifts. The front freewheel, F1, is supported on the
extension of the stator shaft on the transmission side and, in the locking direction, connects the sun gear of the front
planetary gear set to the transmission housing. In the locking direction, the rear freewheeling clutch, F2, connects
the sun gear of the center planetary gear set to the sun gear of the rear planetary gear set.
WK AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - NAG1 - SERVICE INFORMATION 21 - 693

ELECTROHYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT


The electrohydraulic control unit comprises the shift plate made from light alloy for the hydraulic control and an
electrical control unit. The electrical control unit comprises of a supporting body made of plastic, into which the
electrical components are assembled. The supporting body is mounted on the shift plate and screwed to it.
Strip conductors inserted into the supporting body make the connection between the electrical components and a
plug connector. The connection to the wiring harness on the vehicle and the transmission control module (TCM) is
produced via this 13-pin plug connector with a bayonet lock.

SHIFT GROUPS
The hydraulic control components (including actuators) which are responsible for the pressure distribution before,
during, and after a gear change are described as a shift group. Each shift group contains a command valve, a
holding pressure shift valve, a shift pressure shift valve, overlap regulating valve, and a solenoid.
The hydraulic system contains three shift groups: 1-2/4-5, 2-3, and 3-4. Each shift group can also be described as
being in one of two possible states. The active shift group is described as being in the shift phase when it is actively
engaging/disengaging a clutch combination. The 1-2/4-5 shift group control the B1 and K1 clutches. The 2-3 shift
group controls the K2 and K3 clutches. The 3-4 shift group controls the K3 and B2 clutches.

OPERATION
The transmission control is divided into the electronic and hydraulic transmission control functions. While the elec-
tronic transmission control is responsible for gear selection and for matching the pressures to the torque to be trans-
mitted, the transmission’s power supply control occurs via hydraulic elements in the electrohydraulic control module.
The oil supply to the hydraulic elements, such as the hydrodynamic torque converter, the shift elements and the
hydraulic transmission control, is provided by way of an oil pump connected with the torque converter.
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) allows for the precise adaptation of pressures to the corresponding oper-
ating conditions and to the engine output during the gearshift phase, resulting in a noticeable improvement in shift
quality. The engine speed limit can be reached in the individual gears at full throttle and kickdown. The shift range
can be changed in the forward gears while driving, but the TCM employs a downshift safeguard to prevent over-
revving the engine. The system offers the additional advantage of flexible adaptation to different vehicle and engine
variants.

EMERGENCY RUNNING FUNCTION


In order to ensure a safe driving state and to prevent damage to the automatic transmission, the TCM control mod-
ule switches to limp-home mode in the event of critical faults. A DTC assigned to the fault is stored in memory. All
solenoid and regulating valves are thus de-energized.
The net effect is:
• The last engaged gear remains engaged.
• The modulating pressure and shift pressures rise to the maximum levels.
• The torque converter lockup clutch is deactivated.
In order to preserve the operability of the vehicle to some extent, the hydraulic control can be used to engage 2nd
gear or reverse using the following procedure:
• Stop the vehicle.
• Move selector lever to 9P9.
• Switch off engine.
• Wait at least 10 seconds.
• Start engine.
• Move selector lever to D: 2nd gear.
• Move selector lever to R: Reverse gear.
The limp-home function remains active until the DTC is rectified or the stored DTC is erased with the DRBT tool.
Sporadic faults can be reset via ignition OFF/ON.

Torque from the torque converter is increased via the input shaft (25) and all three planetary gearsets and trans-
ferred to the output shaft (26).

Front Planetary Gear Set

The annulus gear (8) is driven by the input shaft (25). The sun gear (21) is held against the housing by the locked
freewheel F1 (20) during acceleration and via the engaged multiple-disc holding clutch B1 (4) during deceleration.
The planetary pinion gears (17) turn on the fixed sun gear (21) and increase the torque from the annulus gear (8)
to the planetary carrier (13). The planetary carrier (13) moves at a reduced speed in the running direction of the
engine.

Rear Planetary Gear Set

The annulus gear (11) turns at a reduced speed due to the mechanical connection to the front planetary carrier (15).
The sun gear (23) is held against the housing by the engaged multiple-disc holding clutch B2 (6), by the locked
freewheel F2 (24) during acceleration and by the engaged multiple-disc clutch K3 (12) during deceleration. The
planetary gears (19) turn on the fixed sun gear (23) and increase the torque from the annulus gear (11) to the
planetary carrier (15). The planetary carrier (15) moves at a reduced speed in the running direction of the engine.
21 - 696 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - NAG1 - SERVICE INFORMATION WK

The end face of the command valve (5) is kept unpressurized via the solenoid valve for 1-2 and 4-5 shift (1).
Because of the holding pressure shift valve (4), the working pressure (p-A) is present at the multiple-disc holding

When the 1-2 and 4-5 shift solenoid valve (1) is turned on, the shift valve pressure (p-SV) is directed onto the end
face of the command valve (5). The command valve is moved and the shift pressure (p-S) coming from the shift
pressure shift valve (3) is directed via the command valve (5) onto clutch K1 (6).
Simultaneously the clutch B1 (7) is subjected to overlap pressure by the overlap regulating valve (2). The pressure
in the clutch B1 (7) as it disengages is controlled during the shift phase depending on engine load by the modu-
lating pressure and the applying clutch pressure (the shift pressure in clutch K1). The controlled pressure in clutch
B1 (7) is inversely proportional to the capacity of the clutch being engaged. The rising shift pressure (p-S) at clutch
K1 (6) acts on the annular face of the overlap regulating valve (2) and reduces the overlap pressure regulated by
the overlap regulating valve (2). When a corresponding pressure level is reached at the holding pressure shift valve
(4), this valve switches over.

The 1-2/4-5 shift solenoid (1) is turned ON to apply shift pressure (p-S) to the end face of the 1-2/4-5 command
valve (5). This allows the command valve to up-shift and the shift pressure coming from the 1-2/4-5 shift valve (3)
is routed to the holding clutch B1 (7) via the command valve.
Simultaneously, the pressure in the releasing clutch, K1 (6), is regulated at the 1-2/4-5 overlap valve (2). The pres-

After the gear change is complete, the 1-2/4-5 shift solenoid (1) is turned off. This reduces the pressure on the end
face of the 1-2/4-5 command valve (5) to 0 psi and the spring pressure downshifts the valve to its initial position.
The line pressure (p-A) is switched to the holding clutch B1 (7) and the end face of the holding valve by the down-
shifted command valve. The upshifted holding valve also allows the remaining pressure in clutch K1 (6) to be
vented.

The selector valve opens the shift pressure (p-S) feed connection from the ball valve (19) with the shift valve B2 (9).
With the shift valve B2 (9) in the upper position, shift pressure (p-S) travels behind the piston B2 (5) and simulta-
neously to the opposing face of the piston B2 (6). The multiple-disc holding clutch B2 begins to close.
The pressure on the opposing face of the piston B2 (6) ensures a soft activation of the multiple-disc holding clutch
B2.

The TCM monitors the activation sequence via the speed of the input shaft, which slows down as the frictional
connection in the multiple-disc holding clutch increases. When the speed drops to the specified level, the TCM shuts
off the power to the 3-4 shift solenoid valve (10). The spring chamber of the shift valve B2 (9) is depressurized and
switches downwards. This connects the line to the opposing face of the piston B2 (6) with the pressure holding
valve (11). The pressure on the opposing face of the piston B2 (6) drops to a residual pressure.
The working pressure (p-A) is formed and travels via the 2-3 holding pressure shift valve, the 2-3 command valve
and the ball valve (16) to multi-plate clutch K3 (4) and via the 3-4 command valve (13) to the end face of the 3-4
shift pressure shift valve (14). The 3-4 shift pressure shift valve (14) is moved against the force of the spring
towards the right. At the same time the 3-4 solenoid valve (10) is energized. This allows shift valve pressure (p-SV)
to enter the spring chamber of the shift valve B2 (9) and to reach the end face of the 3-4 command valve (13). The
shift valve B2 (9) is held in the upper position and the 3-4 command valve (13) switches towards the right. At the
end face of the 3-4 shift pressure shift valve (14) the working pressure (p-A) is replaced by shift valve pressure
(p-SV).
The 3-4 command valve (13) moves to the left. Working pressure (p-A) travels via the holding pressure shift valve
(12) and the 3-4 command valve (13) to the piston of multiple-disc holding clutch B2 (5).

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING


AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
CAUTION: Before attempting any repair on a NAG1 automatic transmission, check for Diagnostic Trouble
Codes with the appropriate scan tool.

Transmission malfunctions may be caused by these general conditions:


• Poor engine performance.
• Improper adjustments.
• Hydraulic malfunctions.
• Mechanical malfunctions.
• Electronic malfunctions.
• Transfer case performance (if equipped).
Diagnosis of these problems should always begin by checking the easily accessible variables: fluid level and con-
dition, gearshift cable adjustment. Then perform a road test to determine if the problem has been corrected or if
more diagnosis is necessary.

PRELIMINARY
Two basic procedures are required. One procedure for vehicles that are drivable and an alternate procedure for
disabled vehicles (will not back up or move forward).

VEHICLE IS DRIVABLE
1. Check for transmission fault codes using the appropriate scan tool.
2. Check fluid level and condition.
3. Adjust gearshift cable if complaint was based on delayed, erratic, or harsh shifts.
4. Road test and note how transmission upshifts, downshifts, and engages.

VEHICLE IS DISABLED
1. Check fluid level and condition.
2. Check for broken or disconnected gearshift cable.
3. Check for cracked, leaking cooler lines, or loose or missing pressure-port plugs.
4. Raise and support vehicle on safety stands, start engine, shift transmission into gear, and note following:
a. If propeller shaft turns but wheels do not, problem is with differential or axle shafts.
b. If propeller shaft does not turn and transmission is noisy, stop engine. Remove oil pan, and check for debris.
If pan is clear, remove transmission and check for damaged driveplate, converter, oil pump, or input shaft.
c. If propeller shaft does not turn and transmission is not noisy, perform hydraulic-pressure test to determine if
problem is hydraulic or mechanical.

ROAD TESTING
Before road testing, be sure the fluid level and control cable adjustments have been checked and adjusted if nec-
essary. Verify that all diagnostic trouble codes have been resolved.
Observe engine performance during the road test. A poorly tuned engine will not allow accurate analysis of trans-
mission operation.
Operate the transmission in all gear ranges. Check for shift variations and engine flare which indicates slippage.
Note if shifts are harsh, spongy, delayed, early, or if part throttle downshifts are sensitive.
Slippage indicated by engine flare, usually means clutch, overrunning clutch, or line pressure problems.
A slipping clutch can often be determined by comparing which internal units are applied in the various gear ranges.
The Clutch Application chart CLUTCH APPLICATION provides a basis for analyzing road test results.

AIR CHECKING TRANSMISSION CLUTCH OPERATION

Air-pressure testing can be used to check transmis-


sion clutch operation. The test can be conducted with
the transmission either in the vehicle or on the work
bench, as a final check.
Air-pressure testing requires that the oil pan and valve
body be removed from the transmission. The clutch
apply passages are shown in the NAG1 Clutch Appli-
cation Ports graphic.

NOTE: The air supply which is used must be free


of moisture and dirt. Use a pressure of 30 psi to
test clutch operation.

Apply air pressure at each port. If the clutch is func-


tioning, a soft thump will be heard as the clutch is
applied. The clutch application can also be felt by
touching the appropriate element while applying air
pressure. As the air pressure is released, the clutch
should also release.

Damaged or worn threads in the aluminum transmission case and valve body can be repaired by the use of Heli-
Coils™, or equivalent. This repair consists of drilling out the worn-out damaged threads. Then tap the hole with a
special Heli-Coil™ tap, or equivalent, and installing a Heli-Coil™ insert, or equivalent, into the hole. This brings the
hole back to its original thread size.
Heli-Coil™, or equivalent, tools and inserts are readily available from most automotive parts suppliers.

MECHANISM-BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK


DESCRIPTION

The Brake Transmission Shifter/Ignition Interlock


(BTSI) is a cable operated system that prevents the
transmission gear shifter from being moved out of
PARK without the proper driver inputs. The system
also contains a solenoid that is integral to the shifter
assembly. The solenoid works in conjunction with the
park lock cable (5) to permit shifter movement out of
PARK when the brake is depressed and prevents
shifter movement into REVERSE unless a shift into
REVERSE is permitted.

OPERATION

The Brake Transmission Shifter/Ignition Interlock


(BTSI) is engaged whenever the ignition switch is in
the LOCK (1) position. An additional electrically acti-
vated feature will prevent shifting out of the PARK
position unless the brake pedal is depressed at least
one-half inch. A solenoid in the shifter assembly is de-
energized when the ignition is in the ON position and
the brake pedal is depressed. When the key is in the
ON position and the brake pedal is depressed, the
shifter is unlocked and will move into any position. The
interlock system also prevents the ignition switch from
being turned to the LOCK position, unless the shifter
is in the gated PARK position.
21 - 776 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - NAG1 - SERVICE INFORMATION WK

The following chart describes the normal operation of the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) system. If the
“expected response” differs from the vehicle’s response, then system repair and/or adjustment is necessary.

NOTE: Any failure to meet these expected responses requires system adjustment or repair.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK


SYSTEM VERIFICATION
1. Verify that the key can only be removed in the PARK position
2. When the shift lever is in PARK, the ignition key cylinder should rotate freely from ACC to LOCK. When the
shifter is in any other gear or neutral position, the ignition key cylinder should not rotate to the LOCK position.
3. Shifting out of PARK should not be possible when the ignition key cylinder is in the ACC position and the brake
pedal is not depressed.
4. Shifting out of PARK should not be possible while applying normal force on the shift lever and ignition key cyl-
inder is in the ACC, ON, or START positions unless the foot brake pedal is depressed approximately 1/2 inch
(12mm).
5. Shifting out of PARK should not be possible when the ignition key cylinder is in the LOCK position, regardless of
the brake pedal position.
6. Shifting between any gears, NEUTRAL or into PARK may be done without depressing foot brake pedal with
ignition switch in ACC, ON, or START positions.

ADJUSTMENTS - BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK


The park interlock cable is part of the brake/shift lever interlock system. Correct cable adjustment is important to
proper interlock operation. The gear shift and park lock cables must both be correctly adjusted in order to shift out
of PARK.

ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
1. Remove floor console as necessary for access to the park lock cable. (Refer to 23 - BODY/INTERIOR/FLOOR
CONSOLE - REMOVAL)
2. Shift the transmission into the PARK position.
3. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Be sure ignition key cylinder is in the LOCK position. Cable will not
adjust correctly in any other position.

NOTE: If the key will not turn to the LOCK position, pull up on the cable lock button and manually move the
cable in and out until the key can be turned to the LOCK position.

4. Pull cable lock button up to release cable, if necessary.


5. Ensure that the cable is free to self-adjust by pushing cable rearward and releasing.
6. Push lock button down until it snaps in place. The lock should be flush to the surface of the cylinderical portion
of the cable adjustment housing.

BTSI FUNCTION CHECK


1. Verify removal of ignition key allowed in PARK position only.
2. When the shift lever is in PARK, the ignition key cylinder should rotate freely LOCK position. When the shifter is
in any other position, the ignition key should not rotate to the LOCK position.
3. Shifting out of PARK should not be possible when the ignition key cylinder is in the ACC position and the brake
pedal is not depressed.
21 - 778 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - NAG1 - SERVICE INFORMATION WK

4. Shifting out of PARK should not be possible while applying normal force on the shift lever and ignition key cyl-
inder is in the ACC, ON, or START positions unless the foot brake pedal is depressed approximately 1/2 inch
(12mm).
5. Shifting out of PARK should not be possible when the ignition key cylinder is in the LOCK position, regardless of
the brake pedal position.
6. Shifting between any gears, NEUTRAL or into PARK may be done without depressing foot brake pedal with
ignition switch in ACC, ON, or START positions.
7. The floor shifter lever and gate positions should be in alignment with all transmission detent positions.
8. Engine starts must be possible with shifter lever in PARK or NEUTRAL gate positions only. Engine starts must
not be possible in any other gate positions other than PARK or NEUTRAL.
9. With the shifter lever handle in the:
• PARK position- apply forward force on center of handle and remove pressure. Engine start must be possible.
• PARK position- apply rearward force on center of handle and remove pressure. Engine start must be possible.
• NEUTRAL position- engine start must be possible.
• NEUTRAL position, engine running and brakes applied- Apply forward force on center of shift handle. Trans-
mission should not be able to shift into REVERSE detent.

The input clutches produce a non-positive locking connection between two elements of a planetary gear set or
between one element from each of two planetary gear sets in order to transmit the drive torque.
If the piston (20) on multi-plate clutch K1 (1) is subjected to oil pressure, it presses the internal and external discs
of the disc set together. The sun gear (17) is locked with the planetary carrier (15) via the externally toothed disc
carrier (19) and the internally toothed disc carrier (18). The front planetary gear set is thus locked and turns as a
closed unit.
If the multi-plate clutch K2 (2) is actuated via the piston (14), the piston compresses the disc set. The annulus gear
(16) of the front planetary gear set is locked with the annulus gear (11) of the center planetary gear set via the
externally toothed disc carrier (13) and the center planetary carrier (10) on which the internally toothed discs are
seated. Annulus gear (16) and annulus gear (11) turn at the same speed as the input shaft (21)
If the multi-plate clutch K3 (5) is actuated via the piston (7), the piston compresses the disc set. The sun gear (12)
of the center planetary gear set is locked with the sun gear (9) of the rear planetary gear set via the externally
toothed disc carrier (6) and the internally toothed disc carrier (8). Sun gear (12) and sun gear (9) turn at the same
speed.

HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT


Working Pressure (Line Pressure or Operating Pressure) (p-A)

The working pressure provides the pressure supply to the hydraulic control and the transmission shift elements. It is
the highest hydraulic pressure in the entire hydraulic system. The working pressure is regulated at the working pres-
sure regulating valve in relation to the load and gear. All other pressures required for the transmission control are
derived from the working pressure.

Lubrication Pressure (p-Sm)

At the working pressure regulating valve surplus oil is diverted to the lubrication pressure regulating valve, from
where it is used in regulated amounts to lubricate and cool the mechanical transmission components and the torque
converter. Furthermore, the lubrication pressure (p-Sm) is also used to limit the pressure in the torque converter.

Shift Pressure (p-S)

The shift pressure is determined by the shift pressure regulating solenoid valve and the shift pressure regulating
valve. The shift pressure:
• Regulates the pressure in the activating shift element during the shift phase.
• Determines together with the modulating pressure the pressure reduction at the deactivating shift element as
regulated by the overlap regulating valve.
• Initializes 2nd gear in limp-home mode.
WK AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - NAG1 - SERVICE INFORMATION 21 - 797

Modulating Pressure (p-Mod)

The modulating pressure influences the size of the working pressure and determines together with the shift pressure
the pressure regulated at the overlap regulating valve. The modulating pressure is regulated at the modulating pres-
sure regulating solenoid valve, which is under regulating valve pressure. The modulating pressure is variable and
relative to the engine load.

Regulating Valve/Control Valve Pressure (p-RV)

The regulating valve pressure is regulated at the regulating valve pressure regulating valve in relation to the working
pressure (p-A) up to a maximum pressure of 8 bar (116 psi). It supplies the modulating pressure regulating solenoid
valve, the shift pressure regulating solenoid valve and the shift valve pressure regulating valve.

Shift Valve Pressure (p-SV)

The shift valve pressure (p-SV) is derived from the regulating valve pressure (p-RV), is regulated at the shift valve
pressure regulating valve and is then present at the:
• 1-2 and 4-5 shift solenoid valve.
• 3-4 shift solenoid valve.
• 2-3 shift solenoid valve.
• Torque converter lockup solenoid valve.
• 3-4 and 2-3 shift pressure shift valve.
The shift valve pressure (p-SV) controls the command valves via the upshift/downshift solenoid valves.

Overlap Pressure (p-Ü)

The overlap pressure controls the shift component pressure reduction during a shift phase. The pressure in a shift
element as it disengages is controlled during the shift phase depending on engine load (modulating pressure) and
the pressure in the shift element as it engages. The adjusted pressure is inversely proportional to the transmission
capability of the shift element being engaged (controlled overlap).

Working Pressure Regulating Valve (Operating Pressure)

The working pressure regulating valve (4) is located in


the valve housing of the shift plate. It regulates the pri-
mary pressure of the hydraulic system.

ing pressure (p-A), the torque converter lockup clutch is either Engaged, Disengaged, or Slipping. When the
regulating valve (6) is in the lower position, lubricating oil flows through the torque converter and oil cooler (8) into
the transmission (torque converter lockup clutch unpressurized). In its regulating position (slipping, torque converter
lockup clutch pressurized), a reduced volume of lubricating oil flows through the annular passage (7) bypassing the
torque converter and passing direct through the oil cooler into the transmission. The rest of the lubricating oil is
directed via the throttle 9a9 into the torque converter in order to cool the torque converter lockup clutch.

substituting the shift element pressure acting on its end face (and which is variable during the shift phase) with a
corresponding constant pressure. When the multi-plate clutch K1 (2) is activated, the end face of the shift valve is
unpressurized during the stationary and shift phases, so the shift state is maintained during the shift phase in this
case too.

FLUID AND FILTER


DESCRIPTION

The oil level control is located on the electrohydraulic


unit (4) and consists of the float (5) which is integrated
into the electrohydraulic unit. The float is positioned to
plug the opening (6) between the oil gallery (2) and
gearset chamber (1) so that the rotating gearsets do
not splash about in oil as the oil level rises. The oil
level control reduces power loss and prevents oil from
being thrown out of the transmission housing at high
oil temperatures.

OPERATION

With low oil levels, the lubricating oil which flows con-
stantly out of the gearset, flows back to oil gallery (2)
though the opening (6). If the oil level rises, the oil
presses the float (5) against the housing opening (6).
The float (5) therefore separates the oil gallery (2)
from the gearset chamber (1). The lubricating oil which
continues to flow out of the gearsets is thrown against
the housing wall, incorporated by the rotating parts
and flows back into the oil gallery (2) through the
upper opening (arrow).
21 - 822 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - NAG1 - SERVICE INFORMATION WK

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING


EFFECTS OF INCORRECT FLUID LEVEL
A low fluid level allows the pump to take in air along with the fluid. Air in the fluid will cause fluid pressures to be
low and develop slower than normal. If the transmission is overfilled, the gears churn the fluid into foam. This aer-
ates the fluid and causing the same conditions occurring with a low level. In either case, air bubbles cause fluid
overheating, oxidation, and varnish buildup which interferes with valve and clutch operation. Foaming also causes
fluid expansion which can result in fluid overflow from the transmission vent or fill tube. Fluid overflow can easily be
mistaken for a leak if inspection is not careful.

CAUSES OF BURNT FLUID


Burnt, discolored fluid is a result of overheating which has three primary causes.
1. Internal clutch slippage, usually caused by low line pressure, inadequate clutch apply pressure, or clutch seal
failure.
2. A result of restricted fluid flow through the main and/or auxiliary cooler. This condition is usually the result of
a faulty or improperly installed drainback valve, a damaged oil cooler, or severe restrictions in the coolers and
lines caused by debris or kinked lines.
3. Heavy duty operation with a vehicle not properly equipped for this type of operation. Trailer towing or similar
high load operation will overheat the transmission fluid if the vehicle is improperly equipped. Such vehicles should
have an auxiliary transmission fluid cooler, a heavy duty cooling system, and the engine/axle ratio combination
needed to handle heavy loads.

FLUID CONTAMINATION
Transmission fluid contamination is generally a result of:
• adding incorrect fluid
• failure to clean dipstick and fill tube when checking level
• engine coolant entering the fluid
• internal failure that generates debris
• overheat that generates sludge (fluid breakdown)
• failure to replace contaminated converter after repair
The use of non-recommended fluids can result in transmission failure. The usual results are erratic shifts, slippage,
abnormal wear and eventual failure due to fluid breakdown and sludge formation. Avoid this condition by using rec-
ommended fluids only.
The dipstick cap and fill tube should be wiped clean before checking fluid level. Dirt, grease and other foreign mate-
rial on the cap and tube could fall into the tube if not removed beforehand. Take the time to wipe the cap and tube
clean before withdrawing the dipstick.
Engine coolant in the transmission fluid is generally caused by a cooler malfunction. The only remedy is to replace
the radiator as the cooler in the radiator is not a serviceable part. If coolant has circulated through the transmission,
an overhaul is necessary.
The torque converter should be replaced whenever a failure generates sludge and debris. This is necessary
because normal converter flushing procedures will not remove all contaminants.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
CHECK OIL LEVEL
1. Verify that the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
2. Remove the dipstick tube cap.

WARNING: Risk of accident from vehicle starting off by itself when engine running. Risk of injury from con-
tusions and burns if you insert your hands into the engine when it is started or when it is running. Secure
vehicle to prevent it from moving off by itself. Wear properly fastened and close-fitting work clothes. Do not
touch hot or rotating parts.

3. Actuate the service brake. Start engine and let it run at idle speed in selector lever position 9P9.
WK AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - NAG1 - SERVICE INFORMATION 21 - 823

4. Shift through the transmission modes several times with the vehicle stationary and the engine idling
5. Warm up the transmission, wait at least 2 minutes and check the oil level with the engine running. Push the oil
dipstick into the transmission fill tube and pull out again, read off oil level, repeat if necessary.

NAG1 Transmission Fill Graph


6. Check transmission oil temperature using the appropriate scan tool.

NOTE: The true transmission oil temperature can only be read by a scan tool in REVERSE or any forward
gear position. (Refer to 21 - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION- NAG1/TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE SENSOR/
PARK-NEUTRAL SWITCH - OPERATION)

7. Determine the height of the oil level on the dipstick and using the height, the transmission temperature, and the
Transmission Fluid Graph, determine if the transmission oil level is correct.
8. Add or remove oil as necessary and recheck the oil level.
9. Once the oil level is correct, install the dipstick tube cap.

TRANSMISSION FILL
To avoid overfilling transmission after a fluid change or overhaul, perform the following procedure:
1. Verify that the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
2. Remove the dipstick tube cap.
3. Add following initial quantity of MoparT ATF +4, Automatic Transmission Fluid, to the transmission:
a. If only fluid and filter were changed, add 7.4 L (14.8 pts.) of transmission fluid to transmission.
21 - 824 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - NAG1 - SERVICE INFORMATION WK

b. If the transmission was completely overhauled or the torque converter was replaced or drained, add 8.1 L
(17.1 pts.) of transmission fluid to transmission.
4. Check the transmission fluid (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/AUTOMATIC - NAG1/FLUID AND FLUID - STAN-
DARD PROCEDURE - CHECK OIL LEVEL) and adjust as required.

CLUTCH-FREEWHEELING
DESCRIPTION

Freewheeling clutches are installed in the front plane-


tary gear set between the sun gear and the stator
shaft, and in the rear planetary gear set between the
sun gear and the intermediate shaft.
The freewheel consists of an outer race (4), an inner
race (7), a number of locking elements (3) and a cage
(6) for these locking elements.

OPERATION

The freewheeling clutch optimizes individual gear-


shifts. They lock individual elements of a planetary
gear set together or against the transmission housing
in one direction of rotation to allow the torque to be
transmitted.
If the inner race (7) of the freewheeling clutch is
locked and the outer race (4) turns counter-clockwise
(1), the locking elements (3) adopt a diagonal position
on account of their special contours, allowing the free-
wheel function. The inner race (4) slides under the
locking elements (3) with minimal friction. If the rota-
tion of the outer race (4) changes to clockwise (2), the
locking elements (3) stand up and lock the outer and
inner races (4, 7) together.

The holding clutches connect the annulus gear, sun gear, or planetary carrier of a planetary gear set against the
transmission housing in order to transmit the drive torque.
If the piston (16) on multiple-disc holding clutch B1 (1) is subjected to oil pressure, it presses the internal (3) and
external discs (2) of the disc set together. The internally toothed disc carrier (15) locks the sun gear (14) against the
housing. The planetary pinion gears (13) turn on the sun gear (14).
If the multiple-disc holding clutch B2 (5) is actuated via the piston (7), the piston compresses the disc set. The
internally toothed disc carrier (8) locks the sun gear (12) against the housing. The planetary pinion gears (11) turn
on the sun gear (12).
If the multiple-disc holding clutch B3 (4) is actuated via the piston (6), the planetary carrier (9) and the annulus gear
(10) are locked. When the multiple-disc brake B3 (4) is actuated, the direction of rotation is reversed.

INPUT SPEED SENSORS


DESCRIPTION

The input speed sensors (6, 8) are fixed to the shell of


the control unit via contact blades. The speed sensors
are pressed against the transmission housing (2) by a
spring (7) which is held against the valve housing of
the shift plate (5). This ensures a defined distance
between the speed sensors and the exciter ring (4).
WK AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - NAG1 - SERVICE INFORMATION 21 - 845

OPERATION

Signals from the input speed sensors (6, 8) are


recorded in the transmission control module (TCM)
together with the wheel and engine speeds and other
information and are processed into an input signal for
electronic control.
Input speed sensor N2 (6) records the speed of the
front sun gear via the externally toothed disc carrier of
the multiple-disc clutch K1 (10) and input speed sen-
sor N3 (8) records the speed of the front planet carrier
via the internally toothed disc carrier of multiple-disc
clutch K1 (3).

PUMP-OIL
DESCRIPTION

The oil pump (2) (crescent-type pump) is installed in


the bellhousing behind the torque converter and is
driven by the drive flange of the torque converter. The
pump creates the oil pressure required for the hydrau-
lic procedures.
21 - 846 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - NAG1 - SERVICE INFORMATION WK

OPERATION

When the engine is running, the oil is pumped through


the inlet chamber (5) along the upper and lower side
of the crescent (1) to the pressure chamber (6) of the
housing. The meshing of the teeth prevents oil flowing
from the delivery side to the intake side. An external
gear (3) is eccentrically mounted in the pump housing.
The external gear is driven by the internal gear (4)
which is connected to the torque converter hub.

DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove pump gears (1 and 2) from pump housing.

2. Remove the inner oil pump seal (1).


3. Replace the outer oil pump O-ring (2).
WK AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - NAG1 - SERVICE INFORMATION 21 - 847

INSPECTION
Before measuring any oil pump components, perform a thorough visual inspection of all the components. If any sign
of scoring, scratches, or other damage is seen, replace the oil pump as an assembly.

SIDE CLEARANCE
Side clearance is the difference between the thickness of the pump gears and the depth of the pocket in the pump
housing. Side clearance can be measured by laying a flat plate across the mounting face of the pump housing, and
measuring the distance between the plate and the gears.

Acceptable side clearance:


• Inner gear: 0.064 mm (0.0025 in) max
• Outer gear: 0.069 mm (0.0027 in) max

TIP CLEARANCE

Tip clearance is the difference between the tip diame-


ters of the gear teeth and the corresponding diameters
of the pocket in the pump housing.
Tip clearance for the inner gear can be checked by
moving the inner gear into tight mesh (2) with the
outer gear as shown. Clearance between the ID of the
crescent feature of the housing and the OD of the
teeth of the inner gear (3) should then me measured
at a point 37 mm from the corner of the crescent (1)
feature, as shown below.

Acceptable tip clearance for inner gear:


• 0.85 mm (0.033 in) max

GEARTRAIN-PLANETARY
DESCRIPTION

Three planetary gear sets are used to produce the dif-


ferent gear ratios. These are located in the mechanical
part of the transmission as the front, middle and rear
planetary gear sets.

OPERATION

The annulus gear (1) and sun gear (3) elements of a


planetary gear system are alternately driven and
braked by the actuating elements of the multi-plate
clutch and multiple-disc brake. The planetary pinion
gears (2) can turn on the internal gearing of the annu-
lus gear (1) and on the external gearing of the sun
gear (3). This allows for a variety of gear ratios and
the reversal of the rotation direction without the need
for moving gear wheels or shift collars. When two
components of the planetary gear set are locked
together, the planetary gear set is locked and turns as
a closed unit.
The torque and engine speed are converted according
to the lever ratios and the ratio of the number of teeth
on the driven gears to that on the drive gears, and is
referred to as the gear ratio. The overall ratio of a
number of planetary gear sets connected in series is
obtained by multiplying the partial ratios.

MECHANISM-SHIFT
DESCRIPTION

The automatic transmission is operated with the help


of a shift lever assembly (SLA) (1) located in the floor
console. There are four positions to which the selec-
tion lever can be shifted: P, R, N, D. In addition, the
selector lever can be moved sideways (+/-) in position
9D9 to adjust the shift range.
All selector lever positions, as well as selected shift
ranges in position 9D9, are identified by the SLA. The
information is then sent to the transmission control
module (TCM) via a hardwire connection. At the same
time, the selector lever positions 9P9, 9R9, 9N9 and 9D9
are transmitted by a shift cable to the selector shaft in
the transmission.

The SLA is comprised of the following functions:


• Key lock: Depending on the selector lever position, the ignition cylinder is locked/unlocked, i.e., the ignition
key can be removed only if the selector lever is in position 9P9. A park lock cable is used to perform this
function.
• Park lock: The selector lever is not released from postion 9P9 until the brake pedal has been applied and the
ignition key is in ”ACC” or ON” positions. Shift lock is controlled by the brake light switch in conjunction with a
WK AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - NAG1 - SERVICE INFORMATION 21 - 861

locking solenoid in the SLA. As soon as the brake pedal is applied firmly, the locking solenoid is de-energized
to unlock the selector lever.
• Reverse inhibitor: As soon as the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 4-7 mph, it is no longer possible to
move the selector lever from position 9N9 to position 9R9. The reverse inhibit functionality is controlled by the
TCM and the same solenoid as the park lock. As the vehicle accelerates past the calibrated speed threshold,
the solenoid is energized to block the motion of the shift lever necessary to move from NEUTRAL to
REVERSE. The reverse inhibit is not released until the vehicle speed falls below approximately 4-7 mph and
the shifter is moved out of the “D” shifter position.

OPERATION
With the selector lever in position 9D9, the transmission control module (TCM) automatically shifts the gears that are
best-suited to the current operating situation. This means that shifting of gears is continuously adjusted to current
driving and operating conditions in line with the selected shift range and the accelerator pedal position. Starting off
is always performed in 1st gear.
The selector lever positions are determined by a sensor assembly internal to the shift lever assembly (SLA). The
sensor assembly identifies the various positions of the SLA according to the following table.

The current selector lever position or, if the shift range has been limited, the current shift range is indicated in the
instrument cluster display.
The permissible shifter positions and transmission operating ranges are:
• P = Parking lock and engine starting.
• R = Reverse.
• N = Neutral and engine starting (no power is transmitted to the axles).
• D = The shift range includes all forward gears.
The shift range can be adjusted to the current operating conditions by tipping the selector lever to the left-hand side
(9-9) or the right-hand side (9+9) when in position 9D9. If the shift range is limited, the display in the instrument cluster
indicates the selected shift range and not the currently engaged gear.
• 4= Shift range is limited to gears 1 to 4.
• 3= Shift range is limited to gears 1 to 3.
• 2= Shift range is limited to gears 1 to 2.
• 1= Shift range is limited to the 1st gear.
Tipping the shift lever will have the following results:
• Tipping the selector lever toward (-( one time after another: The shift range is reduced in descending
sequence by one gear each time, i.e., from D - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1. If the selected limitation of the shift range would
result in a downshift causing excessive engine speed, the shifting is not executed and the engaged gear as
well as the shift range remain unchanged. This is to prevent the engine from overspeeding. Engine retardation
is low with the selector lever in position 9D9. To make use of the full braking power of the engine, 9manual9
21 - 862 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - NAG1 - SERVICE INFORMATION WK

downshifting by tipping the lever towards the left-hand side is recommended. If this has been done, subse-
quent upshifting must be carried out manually as well.
• Tipping the selector lever toward (-( and holding it in this position: The currently engaged gear in range
9D9 is indicated in the instrument cluster display and the shift range is limited to this gear.
• Tipping the selector lever toward (+( one time after another: The shift range is increased by one gear each
time and the increased shift range is displayed in the instrument cluster; possibly, the transmission upshifts to
a faster gear.
• Tipping the selector lever toward (+( several times: The shift range is increased by one gear each time the
lever is tipped until the shift range ends up in 9D9.
• Tipping the selector lever toward (+( and holding it in this position: The shift range is extended immedi-
ately to 9D9, shift ranges are indicated in ascending sequence; possibly, the transmission upshifts to a faster
gear due to the extension of the shift range.

SOLENOID
DESCRIPTION
The typical electrical solenoid used in automotive applications is a linear actuator. It is a device that produces
motion in a straight line. This straight line motion can be either forward or backward in direction, and short or long
distance.
A solenoid is an electromechanical device that uses a magnetic force to perform work. It consists of a coil of wire,
wrapped around a magnetic core made from steel or iron, and a spring loaded, movable plunger, which performs
the work, or straight line motion.
The solenoids used in transmission applications are attached to valves which can be classified as normally open
or normally closed. The normally open solenoid valve is defined as a valve which allows hydraulic flow when no
current or voltage is applied to the solenoid. The normally closed solenoid valve is defined as a valve which does
not allow hydraulic flow when no current or voltage is applied to the solenoid. These valves perform hydraulic con-
trol functions for the transmission and must therefore be durable and tolerant of dirt particles. For these reasons, the
valves have hardened steel poppets and ball valves. The solenoids operate the valves directly, which means that
WK AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - NAG1 - SERVICE INFORMATION 21 - 865

the solenoids must have very high outputs to close the valves against the sizable flow areas and line pressures
found in current transmissions. Fast response time is also necessary to ensure accurate control of the transmission.
The strength of the magnetic field is the primary force that determines the speed of operation in a particular sole-
noid design. A stronger magnetic field will cause the plunger to move at a greater speed than a weaker one. There
are basically two ways to increase the force of the magnetic field:
1. Increase the amount of current applied to the coil or
2. Increase the number of turns of wire in the coil.
The most common practice is to increase the number of turns by using thin wire that can completely fill the available
space within the solenoid housing. The strength of the spring and the length of the plunger also contribute to the
response speed possible by a particular solenoid design.
A solenoid can also be described by the method by which it is controlled. Some of the possibilities include variable
force, pulse-width modulated, constant ON, or duty cycle. The variable force and pulse-width modulated versions
utilize similar methods to control the current flow through the solenoid to position the solenoid plunger at a desired
position somewhere between full ON and full OFF. The constant ON and duty cycled versions control the voltage
across the solenoid to allow either full flow or no flow through the solenoid’s valve.

The solenoid valves (1) for upshifts and downshifts


are located in the shell of the electric control unit and

SHIFT PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE

The shift pressure control solenoid valve (1) is located


in the shell of the electric valve control unit and
pressed against the shift plate by a spring.
Its purpose is to control the shift pressure depending
on the continuously changing operating conditions,
such as load and gear change.
The shift pressure regulating solenoid valve (1) has an
interference fit and is sealed off to the valve body of
the shift plate (4) by a seal (arrow). The contact
springs (2) at the solenoid valve engage in a slot in
the conductor tracks (3). The force of the contact
springs (2) ensures secure contacts.

OPERATION
When an electrical current is applied to the solenoid coil, a magnetic field is created which produces an attraction
to the plunger, causing the plunger to move and work against the spring pressure and the load applied by the fluid
the valve is controlling. The plunger is normally directly attached to the valve which it is to operate. When the cur-
rent is removed from the coil, the attraction is removed and the plunger will return to its original position due to
spring pressure.
The plunger is made of a conductive material and accomplishes this movement by providing a path for the magnetic
field to flow. By keeping the air gap between the plunger and the coil to the minimum necessary to allow free move-
ment of the plunger, the magnetic field is maximized.

UPSHIFT/DOWNSHIFT SOLENOID VALVES

If a solenoid valve (1) is actuated by the TCM, it


opens and guides the control pressure (p-SV) to the
assigned command valve. The solenoid valve remains
actuated and therefore open until the shifting process
is complete. The shift pressure (p-SV) to the com-
mand valve is reduced to zero as soon as the power
supply to the solenoid valve is interrupted.

• the dry-reed contact (4).

TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE SENSOR

The transmission oil temperature sensor (1) is located


in the shell of the electric valve control unit and is
fixed to the conductor tracks.
Its purpose is to measure the temperature of the
transmission oil and pass the temperature to the TCM
as an input signal. It is a temperature-dependent
resistor (PTC).
WK AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - NAG1 - SERVICE INFORMATION 21 - 871

OPERATION
PARK/NEUTRAL CONTACT

In selector lever positions 9P9 and 9N9 the park/neutral


contact (4) is actuated by a cam track which is located
on the detent plate. The permanent magnet (3) is
moved away from the dry-reed contact (4). The dry-
reed contact (4) is opened. The TCM receives an
electric signal. The circuit to the starter in the selector
lever positions 9P9 and 9N9 is closed.

TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE SENSOR

The temperature of the transmission oil has a consid-


erable effect on the shifting time and therefore the
shift quality. By measuring the oil temperature, shift
operations can be optimized in all temperature ranges.
The transmission oil temperature sensor (1) is
switched in series with the park/neutral contact. The
temperature signal is transferred to the TCM only
when the dry-reed contact of the park/neutral contact
is closed in REVERSE or a forward gear position.

CONVERTER-TORQUE
DESCRIPTION

CAUTION: The torque converter must be replaced


if a transmission failure resulted in large amounts
of metal or fiber contamination in the fluid.

The torque converter is a hydraulic device that cou-


ples the engine crankshaft to the transmission. The
torque converter consists of an outer shell with an
internal turbine (1), a stator (3), an overrunning clutch,
an impeller (2), and an electronically applied converter
clutch. The converter clutch provides reduced engine
speed and greater fuel economy when engaged.
Clutch engagement also provides reduced transmis-
sion fluid temperatures. The converter clutch engages
in third through fifth gears. The torque converter hub
drives the transmission oil (fluid) pump.
A turbine damper (6) has been added for some appli-
cations to help improve vehicle noise, vibration, and
harshness (NVH) characteristics.
The torque converter is a sealed, welded unit that is
not repairable and is serviced as an assembly.

The impeller (3) is an integral part of the converter housing. The impeller consists of curved blades placed radially
along the inside of the housing on the transmission side of the converter. As the converter housing is rotated by the
engine, so is the impeller, because they are one and the same and are the driving members of the system.

The turbine (1) is the output, or driven, member of the converter. The turbine is mounted within the housing opposite
the impeller, but is not attached to the housing. The input shaft is inserted through the center of the impeller and
splined into the turbine. The design of the turbine is similar to the impeller, except the blades of the turbine are
curved in the opposite direction.
21 - 876 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - NAG1 - SERVICE INFORMATION WK

STATOR

The stator assembly (1-4) is mounted on a stationary


shaft which is an integral part of the oil pump.

The stator (1) is located between the impeller (2) and


turbine (4) within the torque converter case. The stator
contains a freewheeling clutch, which allows the stator
to rotate only in a clockwise direction. When the stator
is locked against the freewheeling clutch, the torque
multiplication feature of the torque converter is
operational.
WK AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - NAG1 - SERVICE INFORMATION 21 - 877

TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC)

The TCC (9) was installed to improve the efficiency of


the torque converter that is lost to the slippage of the
fluid coupling. Although the fluid coupling provides
smooth, shock-free power transfer, it is natural for all
fluid couplings to slip. If the impeller and turbine were
mechanically locked together, a zero slippage condi-
tion could be obtained. A hydraulic piston with friction
material was added to the turbine assembly to provide
this mechanical lock-up.
In order to reduce heat build-up in the transmission
and buffer the powertrain against torsional vibrations,
the TCM can duty cycle the torque converter lock-up
solenoid to achieve a smooth application of the torque
converter clutch. This function, referred to as Electron-
ically Modulated Converter Clutch (EMCC) can occur
at various times depending on the following variables:
• Shift lever position
• Current gear range
• Transmission fluid temperature
• Engine coolant temperature
• Input speed
• Throttle angle 1 - TURBINE
• Engine speed 2 - IMPELLER

11 - TURBINE DAMPER

OPERATION

The converter impeller (driving member) (2), which is


integral to the converter housing and bolted to the
engine drive plate, rotates at engine speed. The con-
verter turbine (driven member) (1), which reacts from
fluid pressure generated by the impeller, rotates and
turns the transmission input shaft (4).
21 - 878 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - NAG1 - SERVICE INFORMATION WK

TURBINE
As the fluid that was put into motion by the impeller blades strikes the blades of the turbine, some of the energy and
rotational force is transferred into the turbine and the input shaft. This causes both of them (turbine and input shaft)
to rotate in a clockwise direction following the impeller. As the fluid is leaving the trailing edges of the turbine’s
blades it continues in a “hindering” direction back toward the impeller. If the fluid is not redirected before it strikes
the impeller, it will strike the impeller in such a direction that it would tend to slow it down.

STATOR

Torque multiplication is achieved by locking the sta-


tor’s over-running clutch to its shaft. Under stall condi-
tions (the turbine is stationary), the oil leaving the
turbine blades strikes the face of the stator blades and
tries to rotate them in a counterclockwise direction.
When this happens the over-running clutch of the sta-
tor locks and holds the stator from rotating. With the
stator locked, the oil strikes the stator blades and is
redirected into a “helping” direction before it enters the
impeller. This circulation of oil from impeller to turbine,
turbine to stator, and stator to impeller, can produce a
maximum torque multiplication of about 2.0:1. As the
turbine begins to match the speed of the impeller, the
fluid that was hitting the stator in such as way as to
cause it to lock-up is no longer doing so. In this con-
dition of operation, the stator begins to free wheel and
the converter acts as a fluid coupling.
WK AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - NAG1 - SERVICE INFORMATION 21 - 879

TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC)

In a standard torque converter, the impeller (2) and


turbine (1) are rotating at about the same speed and
the stator (3) is freewheeling, providing no torque mul-
tiplication. By applying the turbine’s piston and friction
material (9), a total converter engagement can be
obtained. The result of this engagement is a direct 1:1
mechanical link between the engine and the transmis-
sion.
The clutch can be engaged in second, third, fourth,
and fifth gear ranges.
The TCM controls the torque converter by way of
internal logic software. The programming of the soft-
ware provides the TCM with control over the torque
converter solenoid. There are four output logic states
that can be applied as follows:
• No EMCC
• Partial EMCC
• Full EMCC
• Gradual-to-no EMCC

NO EMCC

Under No EMCC conditions, the TCC Solenoid is OFF. There are several conditions that can result in NO EMCC
operations. No EMCC can be initiated due to a fault in the transmission or because the TCM does not see the need
for EMCC under current driving conditions.

PARTIAL EMCC

Partial EMCC operation modulates the TCC Solenoid (duty cycle) to obtain partial torque converter clutch applica-
tion. Partial EMCC operation is maintained until Full EMCC is called for and actuated. During Partial EMCC some
slip does occur. Partial EMCC will usually occur at low speeds, low load and light throttle situations.

FULL EMCC

During Full EMCC operation, the TCM increases the TCC Solenoid duty cycle to full ON after Partial EMCC control
brings the engine speed within the desired slip range of transmission input speed relative to engine rpm.

GRADUAL-TO-NO EMCC

This operation is to soften the change from Full or Partial EMCC to No EMCC. This is done at mid-throttle by
decreasing the TCC Solenoid duty cycle.

the transmission will shift when the torque converter is removed creating an unstable condition. The torque
converter is a heavy unit. Use caution when separating the torque converter from the transmission.

3. Pull the torque converter forward until the center hub clears the oil pump seal.
4. Separate the torque converter from the transmission.

INSTALLATION

Check converter hub and drive flats for sharp edges,


burrs, scratches, or nicks. Polish the hub and flats
with 320/400 grit paper or crocus cloth if necessary.
The hub must be smooth to avoid damaging the pump
seal at installation.
1. Lubricate oil pump seal lip with transmission fluid.
2. Place torque converter in position on transmission.

CAUTION: Do not damage oil pump seal or con-


verter hub while inserting torque converter into
the front of the transmission.

3. Align torque converter to oil pump seal opening.


4. Insert torque converter hub into oil pump.
5. While pushing torque converter inward, rotate con-
verter until converter is fully seated in the oil pump
gears.
6. Check converter seating with a scale and straightedge. Surface of converter lugs should be at least 19 mm (3/4
in.) to rear of straightedge when converter is fully seated.
7. If necessary, temporarily secure converter with C-clamp attached to the converter housing.
8. Install the transmission in the vehicle.
9. Fill the transmission with the recommended fluid.

DESCRIPTION

NV140 Cross Section

2 - REAR OUTPUT SHAFT FLANGE 5 - DIFFERENTIAL
3 - FRONT OUTPUT SHAFT AND FLANGE

The NV140 is a single-speed transfer case and it is used in the Quadra- Trac I Full-Time 4-Wheel Drive System. It
provides full-time 4-wheel drive. The transfer case operates with an open center differential dividing engine torque
nearly evenly with 48 percent of engine torque to the front axle and 52 percent of engine torque to the rear axle.
The Brake Traction Control System, which combines standard ABS and Traction Control, provides resistance to any
wheel that is slipping to allow additional torque transfer to wheels with traction.
The Quadra-Trac I system with NV 140 single-speed transfer case provides the following benefits:
• No shift lever or driver interaction required.
• Full-time four-wheel drive provides smooth operation and vehicle stability under all conditions because torque
is constantly being transferred.
• Even torque distribution provides traction to maintain forward motion under most conditions.
• The Brake Traction Control System (BTCS) works in tandem with full-time four-wheel drive. BTCS provides
resistance to any wheel that is slipping to allow additional torque transfer to wheels with traction.
• Robust design and improved sealing enhance reliability.
• No maintenance required.
WK TRANSFER CASE - NV140 - SERVICE INFORMATION 21 - 993

OPERATION
Full-time 4-wheel drive distributes even torque to all wheels under all conditions. The transfer case center differential
evenly divides torque to the front and rear axles, while also allowing the driveshafts to rotate at different speeds to
account for front and rear wheels traveling different distances while turning. Given that the drive shafts can rotate at
different speeds, the vehicle can remain in full-time 4-wheel drive mode indefinitely, even on dry pavement, without
threat of damage to the drivetrain. The vehicle uses Brake Traction Control to modulate the torque from one wheel
to another across each axle and the transfer case.

The NV245 transfer case provides Full-Time Active Four-Wheel Drive for optimum traction in a wide range of con-
ditions and is used in Quadra-TracT II and Quadra-DriveT II systems. The transfer case center differential distributes
torque 48 percent to the front axle and 52 percent to the rear axle along with an electronically controlled clutch pack
that is coupled to the center differential for torque biasing. The NV245 electronics provide an active system because
it can anticipate and prevent slip. The transfer case can redistribute 100 percent of torque to the front or rear axle,
depending on need. For added traction when traversing steep grades, rough terrain or extremely slippery/poor trac-
tion surfaces at low speeds, the transfer case can be switched into 4WD Low, which multiplies engine torque 2.72
times and locks the clutch pack for maximum traction at all times. The Neutral mode allows the vehicle to be flat
towed behind another vehicle.
21 - 1016 TRANSFER CASE - NV245 - SERVICE INFORMATION WK

Electric shifting is accomplished with a T-handle transfer case lever in the shifter assembly to provide simplified
operation and positive engagement of 4 Low. A pushpin button is provided to shifting the transfer case into
NEUTRAL.

OPERATION
ACTIVE TRANSFER CASE CONTROLS
Controls for the NV245 transfer case active clutch (torque biasing device) are located in the Final Drive Control
Module (FDCM) and communicated on the CAN C bus. The FDCM monitors wheel speeds at the front and rear
axles to detect wheel slippage. A complete vehicle dynamics model calculates slip at each tire for given vehicle-
operating conditions. The clutch pack in the transfer case is engaged to minimize the speed difference between the
front and rear axle, resulting in torque transfer to the axle with higher traction. The electronically controlled wet
clutch pack uses an electric motor to actuate a sector plate. The sector plate actuates a clutch lever that applies
normal force to the multi-disc wet clutch pack bridging the differential. The clutch discs are alternately splined to the
front and rear driveshafts. When normal force is applied to this clutch pack, torque is transferred to equalize speed
differences between front and rear axles.

TRANSFER CASE MODES


The transfer case operates in active full-time four-wheel drive (4 High Full-Time) unless the driver chooses 4-wheel
drive Low or Neutral. A chrome T-handle momentary contact lever in the shifter assembly labeled 4WD Low allows
the driver to select 4WD Low when a set of conditions is met. A separate Neutral pushbutton switch located beside
the 4WD Low T-Handle is used by the operator to enter Neutral when a set of conditions is met. An indicator
located in the instrument cluster indicates when 4WD Low is active. There is an indicator next to the Neutral button
to indicate Neutral position as well as a message in the EVIC in the cluster that states “4WD SYSTEM IN NEU-
TRAL.”

ELECTRIC SHIFT MECHANISM


All of the switching functions use resistive multiplexing to tell the Final Drive Control Module (FDCM) which mode to
select. The FDCM operates an electric motor that shifts the transfer case. The FDCM obtains additional data nec-
essary for operation and to provide diagnostic outputs via the CAN network. The electric shift mechanism helps
protect the transfer case against internal damage by preventing a shift to 4WD Low range unless the vehicle speed
is below 3 mph (5 km/hr) and the transmission is in Neutral. To shift the transfer case into Neutral for towing the
vehicle, the pushpin button next to the range shifter must be depressed with a pen and a set of shift conditions must
be met.
Through communication with various modules over the CAN network, the FDCM knows vehicle speed, automatic
transmission position, engine run status, ignition status and brake switch position, some or all of which are required
to determine whether shifts between 4WD Low, 4WD High or Neutral will be allowed. Diagnostic outputs include
fault codes and the ability to “read” switch position and position sensor output. A warning message in the EVIC in
the cluster indicates if a malfunction occurs in the electricshift system. A motor and encoder (position sensor)
replace a lever on the shaft that shifts the transfer case. When a shift is called for, the motor turns the shaft until the
sensor indicates that the correct angular position has been reached. To prevent the transfer case from making unin-
tended shifts, the switch must be in position for 0.25 seconds before a shift will take place. A shift can take up to
1-2 seconds from the time that the switch is moved for full travel. If the shift is not completed in the appropriate
time, the module will repeat the action up to five times. Misalignment of the gears in the transfer case may block a
shift, in which case the sensor will detect this; the motor will then reverse and try again to complete the shift. Block-
age can occur if the vehicle is stationary when the shift is initiated, but if the vehicle is moving as recommended
when the shift is initiated, blockage is unlikely. If the shift is not completed after five attempts, the cluster indicator
will flash and the driver will have to return the switch to its former position and repeat the operation.

SEAL-FRONT OUTPUT SHAFT


REMOVAL
The front output shaft seal cannot be serviced in the vehicle. The transfer case must be disassembled to remove
the front output shaft and seal.

SENSOR-MODE
DESCRIPTION

The transfer case mode sensor (3) provides the Final


Drive Control Module (FDCM) feedback about the
position of the transfer case. The sensor consists of a
linear analog position sensor that converts the motor
output shaft position into a DC signal. The sensor may
rotate a full 360 degrees. The operating envelope or
sector rotation is -5 to 180 degrees. The FDCM must
supply 5VDC (+/- 0.5v) to the sensor whenever the
FDCM is not in sleep mode and monitors the shift
motor position. The sensor position is monitored when
the ignition is in the RUN position and for 10 seconds
after the ignition is shifted to the OFF position. The
sensor is mechanically linked to the shaft of the cam
which allows the transfer case to shift. The mode sen-
sor will draw less than 20 mA of current during
operation.
WK TRANSFER CASE - NV245 - SERVICE INFORMATION 21 - 1057

OPERATION
During normal vehicle operation, the Final Drive Control Module (FDCM) monitors the mode sensor outputs at least
every 2 milliseconds when the shift motor is stationary or active.
Refer to SHAFT ANGLE vs. TRANSFER CASE POSITION for the relative angles of the transfer case shift sector
versus the interpreted transfer case gear operating mode.

SHAFT ANGLE vs. TRANSFER CASE POSITION

Shaft Angle (Degrees) Transfer Case Position


0 AWD
-20 4LOW

NOTE: All the parameter voltages referred to in the following information are calibrated items in the con-
troller software and are subject to change.

NOTE: For a further explanation of Phase 1 through 3 shifting, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC


CONTROL MODULES/TRANSFER CASE CONTROL MODULE - OPERATION).

The following information describes the different mode sensor positions:


• 4LOCK TARGET REGION - The position shall be considered 4LOCK if the voltage is greater than or equal to
encoder_4LOCK_min Volts and it is also less than or equal to encoder_4LOCK_max Volts.
• AWD TARGET REGION - The position shall be considered AWD if the voltage is greater than or equal to
encoder_AWD_min Volts and it is also less than or equal to encoder_AWD_max Volts.
• AWD SHIFT LIMIT - During Phase 2 and Phase 3 shifting, shifts may become unidirectional when a voltage is
greater than or equal to encoder_AWD_min Volts has been reached.
The mode sensor position will be considered invalid by the FDCM if the voltage is greater than or equal to encoder-
_High_Range_Limit Volts or if it is less than or equal to encoder_Low_Range_Limit Volts.
If FDCM looses the encoder signal during a shift, the FDCM will respond with a shift back in the opposite direction
of travel to first attempt to find the encoder signal. If the signal is not found, the FDCM will drive motor in AWD
direction for 1 second.
Refer to MODE SENSOR VOLTAGES table for the mode sensor voltages.

ASSEMBLY-SHIFT MOTOR/MODE SENSOR


DESCRIPTION

The shift motor (3) is an electromechanical device


consisting of a DC permanent magnet motor, a gear
train, and an analog position sensor. The shift motors’
overall function is to move and lock a gear that moves
the range fork and clutch lever found in the transfer
case. This allows the transfer case to be shifted elec-
trically to multiple operating positions (4LOW and
AWD). The operating current of the shift motor under
stall conditions is 30 amps maximum at 72° F with
13.5 volts, at the motor leads.

OPERATION
Shifting in the transfer case occurs when a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) voltage is supplied to the shift motor by
the Final Drive Control Module (FDCM). A linear analog position sensor located inside the shift motor, provides the
FDCM with the motors’ angular, rotational position. With this information, the FDCM continuously knows the motors’
position, and therefore allows it to accurately control the motors’ operation, including voltage polarity which is used
to control motor direction.

REMOVAL
NOTE: New shift motor assemblies are shipped in the AWD position. If a new shift motor assembly must be
installed, it will be necessary to shift the transfer case to the AWD position prior to motor installation.

1. Raise the vehicle on a suitable hoist.


2. Disengage the wiring connector from the shift
motor and mode sensor assembly.
3. Remove the bolts (1) holding the shift motor and
mode sensor assembly (2) onto the transfer case.
WK TRANSFER CASE - NV245 - SERVICE INFORMATION 21 - 1059

4. Separate the shift motor and mode sensor assem-


bly (1) from the transfer case (3) and shift sector
(2).

INSTALLATION
1. Verify that the shift motor o-ring is clean and prop-
erly positioned inside the machined o-ring groove
of the shift motor.
2. Add high temperature grease between the shift
motor assembly and the transfer case mating sur-
face for sealing purposes.

NOTE: Verify that the missing tooth (2) in the shift


motor drive spline (1)...

NOTE: ...and the transfer case drive spline (1)


missing tooth (2) are aligned. It may be necessary
to manually shift the transfer case if the shift
motor and transfer case shaft are not aligned.
