Automatic Transmission Schematic Icons Icon Icon Definition NOTE: The OBD II symbol is used on the circuit diagrams in order to alert the technician that the circuit is essential for proper OBD II emission control circuit operation. Any circuit which fails and causes the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to turn ON, or causes emissions-related component damage, is identified as an OBD II circuit. IMPORTANT: Twisted-pair wires provide an effective "shield" that helps protect sensitive electronic components from electrical interference. If the wires were covered with shielding, install new shielding. In order to prevent electrical interference from degrading the performance of the connected components, you must maintain the proper specification when making any repairs to the twisted-pair wires shown : The wires must be twisted a minimum of 9 turns per 31 cm (12 in) as measured anywhere along the length of the wires The outside diameter of the twisted wires must not exceed 6.0 mm

Transmission General Description (5L40-E/5L50-E)

The Hydra-matic 5L40-E is a fully automatic, five speed, rear wheel drive, electronically controlled transmission. It consists primarily of a four-element torque converter, one planetary gear set, friction and mechanical clutches and a hydraulic pressurization and control system.

The TCM commands shift solenoids, within the transmission, on and off to control shift timing. The TCM controls shift feel through the pressure control solenoid. The TCM also controls the apply and release of the torque converter clutch which allows the engine to deliver the maximum fuel efficiency without sacrificing vehicle performance. The hydraulic system primarily consists of a vane type pump, two control valve bodies, two channel plates, converter housing and case. The pump maintains the working pressures needed to stroke the clutch pistons that apply or release the friction components. These friction components, when applied or released, support the automatic shifting qualities of the transmission. The friction components used in this transmission consist of nine multiple disc clutches. The multiple disc clutches combine with four mechanical sprag clutches, to deliver six different gear ratios through the gear set. The gear set then transfers torque through the output shaft.

The transmission can be operated in any one of the seven different modes.

1. P - Park position enables the engine to be started while preventing the vehicle from rolling either forward or backward. For safety reasons, the vehicle parking brake should be used in addition to the transmission Park position. Since the output shaft is mechanically locked to the case through the parking pawl and rear internal gear, Park position should not be selected until the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
2. R - Reverse enables the vehicle to be operated in a rearward direction.
3. N - Neutral position enables the engine to start and operate without driving the vehicle. If necessary, this position should be selected to restart the engine while the vehicle is moving.
4. OD - Overdrive range should be used for all normal driving conditions for maximum efficiency and fuel economy. Overdrive range allows the transmission to operate in each of the five forward gear ratios. Downshifts to a lower gear, or higher gear ratio are available for safe passing by depressing the accelerator or by manually selecting a lower gear with the shift selector.
5. 4 - Manual Fourth can be used for conditions where it may be desirable to use only four gear ratios. These conditions include towing a trailer and driving on hilly terrain as described above. This range is also helpful for engine braking when descending slight grades. Upshifts and downshifts are the same as in Overdrive range for first, second, third and fourth gears except that the transmission will not shift into fifth gear. Manual Fourth can be selected at any vehicle speed but will downshift into fourth gear only if vehicle speed is low enough not to overrev the engine, calibratable in TCM.
6. 3 - Manual Third adds more performance for congested traffic and hilly terrain. It has the same starting ratio, first gear, as Manual Fourth but prevents the transmission from shifting above Third gear. Thus, Manual Third can be used to retain third gear for acceleration and engine braking as desired. Manual Third can be selected at any vehicle speed but will downshift into third gear only if vehicle speed is low enough not to overrev the engine, calibratable in TCM.
7. 2 - Manual Second adds more performance for congested traffic and hilly terrain. It has the same starting ratio, first gear, as Manual Third but prevents the transmission from shifting above second gear. Thus, Manual Second can be used to retain second gear for acceleration and engine braking as desired. Manual Second can be selected at any vehicle speed but will downshift into second gear only if vehicle speed is low enough not to overrev the engine, calibratable in TCM.

When the vehicle speed slows down to a speed low enough not to overrev the engine, calibratable in TCM, the transmission will automatically downshift into first gear. This is particularly beneficial for maintaining maximum engine braking when descending steep grades.

Transmission Component and System Description

The mechanical components of the 5L40/5L50-E are as follows

1. A torque converter with an electronically controlled capacity clutch (ECCC) This transmission is equipped with an electronically controlled capacity clutch (ECCC). The pressure plate does not fully lock to the torque converter cover. Instead, the pressure plate maintains a small amount of slippage, about 20 RPM, in SECOND, THIRD and FOURTH gears, depending on the vehicle application. ECCC was developed to reduce the possibility of noise, vibration or chuggle caused by TCC apply. Typical apply speeds are 49-52 km/h (30-32 mph) in THIRD gear and 65-73 km/h (40-45 mph) in FOURTH gear. Full lockup is available at highway speeds on some applications.
2. Direct and reverse clutch assembly
3. Forward and coast clutch assembly
4. Input sungear shaft and forward sprag clutch assembly
5. Output shaft assembly, with rear internal gear
6. Intermediate clutch sprag assembly
7. Overdrive clutch housing
8. Low clutch sprag
9. Center support
10. Input and reaction carrier
11. Fluid pump assembly
12. Control valve body and accumulator assembly

The electrical components of the 5L40/5L50-E are as follows

1. 1-2, 2-3 and 4-5 shift solenoids
2. Transmission manual shift shaft switch assembly
3. Transmission pressure control (PC) solenoid
4. TCC pulse width modulation (PWM) solenoid valve
5. Transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor
6. Input speed sensor (ISS)
7. Output speed sensor (OSS)

For more information, refer to Electronic Component Description (5L40-E/5L50-E) or Electronic Component Description (5L50-E) .

Transmission Adaptive Functions (5L40-E/5L50-E)

The Hydra-Matic 5L40-E/5L50-E uses a line pressure control system which has the ability to adapt the system line pressure in order to compensate for normal wear of clutch fiber plates, seals, springs, etc. The adapt feature is similar in function to fuel control (integrator/block learn).

The Hydra-Matic 5L40-E/5L50-E transmission uses the adapt function for garage shifts, upshifts, and TCC application. The TCM monitors the input shaft speed in order to determine if the shift is occurring too fast or too slow and adjusts the pressure control solenoid in order to maintain the correct shift feel.

Transmission Indicators and Messages (5L40-E/5L50-E)

The following transmission-related indicators and messages may be displayed on the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). For a complete listing and description of all vehicle indicators and messages, refer to Indicator/Warning Message Description and Operation in Instrument Panel, Gages, and Console.

Scheme 27

The transmission control module (TCM) is mounted in the engine compartment and connects directly to the engine wiring harness. A single 42-way connector is used to make the connection between the vehicle wiring and the TCM. The TCM is an electronic control module that receives input or provides output in order to control the operation of the 5L40-E/5L50-E automatic transmission.

The TCM receives the following inputs from the engine control module (ECM)

1. Engine speed and torque values
2. Engine intake air temperature (IAT), accelerator pedal position (APP) information
3. Engine coolant temperature (ECT)
4. Kick-down request
5. Traction control status
6. Driver selected shift mode
7. Air-conditioning (A/C) status
8. Cruise control status

The ECM provides this data to the TCM through the controller area network (CAN). The CAN is a 2-wire communication connection between the 2 controllers.

Other TCM inputs are the following

1. Battery and ignition voltage
2. Brake switch status
3. Transmission manual shift shaft switch assembly
4. Transmission fluid temperature (TFT)
5. Transmission input shaft speed sensor (ISS)
6. Transmission output shaft speed sensor (OSS)

The TCM provides the following outputs in order to control the automatic transmission

1. Shift solenoids to control transmission shifting
2. TCC PWM solenoid operation controls the apply and release of the torque converter clutch ASM
3. Pressure control solenoid (PCS) regulates transmission line pressure

Other TCM outputs provided to the ECM are the following

1. MIL illumination request
2. Vehicle speed
3. Transmission input speed
4. Transmission fluid temperature
5. Commanded gear status
6. TCC status
7. Torque reduction requests
8. Manual shift shaft switch status
9. Transmission service status

Scheme 28

The transmission manual shift shaft switch assembly (602) is a sliding contact switch attached to the manual shift shaft inside the transmission case. The five inputs to the TCM from the transmission manual shift shaft switch assembly indicate the transmission gear selector lever position. This information is used for engine controls as well as determining the transmission shift patterns. The state of each input is available for display on the scan tool. The five input parameters represented are Signal A, Signal B, Signal C, Signal P (Parity) and Signal N (P/N Start).

Scheme 29

The A/T OSS is a variable reluctance magnetic pickup located in the rear of the transmission case. The sensor is mounted in the case (24) opposite the rear internal gear (560). The rear internal gear is splined to the output shaft assembly (562). The sensor consists of a permanent magnet surrounded by a coil of wire. As the output shaft and rear internal gear rotate, an alternate current (AC) is induced in the coil by the 'teeth' on the rear internal gear as they pass by the magnetic pickup. Therefore, whenever the vehicle is moving, the A/T OSS produces an AC voltage signal proportional to vehicle speed.

At the TCM, the AC signal is electronically converted to a 5 volt square wave pattern. The square wave pattern can then be interpreted as transmission output speed by the TCM through the frequency of square waves in a given time frame. The square waves can be thought of as a representation of the rear internal gear teeth. Therefore, the more teeth or waves that pass by the magnetic pickup in a given time frame, the faster the vehicle is moving. The square wave pattern is compared to a fixed clock signal internal to the TCM to determine transmission output speed.

Scheme 30

The A/T ISS operates identically to the A/T OSS sensor except that is uses the stamped teeth on the reverse clutch input housing assembly (401) as the rotor reluctor. Remember that the reverse clutch input housing assembly is driven at converter turbine speed. The A/T ISS square wave pattern is also compared to a fixed clock signal internal to the TCM to determine actual converter turbine speed. The TCM uses transmission input and output speeds to help determine line pressure, transmission shift patterns, TCC apply pressure, gear ratios, and TCC slippage for diagnostic purposes.

Scheme 31

The TFT sensor is part of the transmission wiring harness assembly (55). The TFT sensor is a resistor, or thermistor, which changes value based on temperature. Refer to Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor Specifications . The sensor has a negative-temperature coefficient. This means that as the temperature increases, the resistance decreases, and as the temperature decreases the resistance increases. The TCM supplies a 5-volt reference signal to the sensor and measures the voltage drop in the circuit. When the transmission fluid is cold the sensor resistance is high and the TCM detects high signal voltage. As the fluid temperature warms to a normal operating temperature, the resistance becomes less and the signal voltage decreases. The TCM uses this information to maintain shift quality and torque converter clutch apply quality over operating temperature range.

If transmission fluid temperatures become excessively high, above approximately 140°C (248°F), the TCM will disable ECCC function and command lock up mode. Applying the TCC serves to reduce transmission fluid temperatures created by the fluid coupling in the torque converter with the TCC released.

Above approximately 149°C (284°F), the TCM will set a transmission fluid temperature code (P0218). This causes the TCM to use a fixed default value of 135°C (275°F) as the transmission fluid temperature input signal.

Scheme 32

The Hydra-matic 5L40-E/5L50-E uses three electromagnetic shift solenoid valves 1-2, 2-3 and 4-5 to control upshifts and downshifts in all forward gear ranges. The shift solenoid valves are all identical, normally closed, 3-port, ON/OFF type solenoids controlled by the TCM. These shift solenoid valves work together in a combination of ON and OFF sequences to control the various shift valves. The TCM uses numerous inputs to determine which solenoid state combination the transmission should be in. Refer to Shift Solenoid Valve State and Gear Ratio .

Scheme 33

The TCC PWM solenoid valve is a normally-closed, pulse width modulated (PWM) solenoid used to control the apply and release of the converter clutch. The TCM operates the solenoid with a negative duty cycle, at a fixed frequency of 32 Hz, to control the rate of TCC apply/release. The solenoid's ability to 'ramp' the TCC apply and release pressures results in a smoother TCC operation.

When vehicle operating conditions are appropriate to apply the TCC, the TCM increases the duty cycle to allow the TCC PWM solenoid valve to command TCC signal fluid pressure at a level sufficient to move the TCC enable valve and the TCC control valve to the apply position. Release pressure is directed to exhaust, and regulated apply fluid is directed to the apply side of the converter pressure plate/damper assembly. The TCM then increases the duty cycle to control a slippage of 20-80 RPM between the pressure plate/damper assembly and the converter cover. This provides for improved filtration of engine vibrations and allows the TCC to apply at low engine speeds in 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th gear. At high speed, lock up mode is set by activating the TCC PWM solenoid valve at maximum duty cycle.

Release of the TCC is achieved by decreasing the duty cycle to a level low enough to allow spring force to move the TCC enable valve and the TCC control valve to the release position. Apply fluid is directed to exhaust and converter feed fluid is directed into the release circuit to the release side of the pressure plate/damper assembly.

There are also some operating conditions that may prevent or enable TCC apply under various conditions, engine temperature, transmission temperature, or brake switch activation, depending on vehicle application.

TCC PWM solenoid valve resistance should measure between 10.0-11.5 ohms when measured at 20°C (68°F). The resistance should measure approximately 16 ohms at 150°C (300°F).

Scheme 34

The pressure control (PC) solenoid valve is a precision electronic pressure regulator that controls transmission line pressure based on current flow through its coil windings. As current flow is increased, the magnetic field produced by the coil moves the solenoid's plunger further away from the exhaust port. Opening the exhaust port decreases the output fluid pressure regulated by the PC solenoid valve, which ultimately decreases line pressure. The TCM controls the PC solenoid valve based on various inputs including throttle position, transmission fluid temperature and gear state.

Duty Cycle, Frequency and Current Flow

A duty cycle may be defined as the percentage of time current is flowing through a solenoid coil during each cycle. The number of cycles that occur within a specified amount of time, usually measured in seconds, is called 'frequency.' Typically, the operation of an electronically controlled pulse width modulated solenoid is explained in terms of duty cycles and frequency.

The TCM controls the PC solenoid valve on a positive duty cycle at a fixed frequency of 292.5 Hz cycles per second. A higher duty cycle provides a greater current flow through the solenoid. The high positive side of the PC solenoid valve electrical circuit at the TCM controls the PC solenoid valve operation. The TCM provides a ground path for the circuit, monitors average current and continuously varies the PC solenoid valve duty cycle to maintain the correct average current flowing through the PC solenoid valve.

The duty cycle and current flow to the PC solenoid valve are mainly affected by throttle position and engine torque. As the throttle angle engine torque increases, the duty cycle is decreased by the TCM which decreases current flow to the PC solenoid valve. Current flow to the PC solenoid valve creates a magnetic field that moves the solenoid armature against spring force.

Transmission Adapt Function

Programming within the TCM also allows for automatic adjustments in shift pressure that are based on the changing characteristics of the transmission components. As the apply components within the transmission wear, shift time, the time required to apply a clutch, increases. In order to compensate for this wear, the TCM adjusts trim pressure by controlling the PC solenoid valve in order to maintain the originally calibrated shift timing. The automatic adjusting process is referred to as adaptive learning and it is used to assure consistent shift feel plus increase transmission durability. The TCM monitors the A/T ISS and the A/T OSS during commanded shifts to determine if a shift is occurring too fast, harsh or too slow, soft and adjusts the PC solenoid valve signal to maintain a set shift feel.

Scheme 35

The floor shift control is located in the center console assembly. It contains the upshift and downshift switches for the driver shift control system. The driver shift control system is activated when the floor shift control lever is moved to the right into the manual position from the drive position. When the manual position is selected, an upshift is requested by pushing the floor shift control lever forward to the + position and a downshift is requested by pulling the floor shift control lever to the - position. When an upshift or a downshift is requested, a signal is sent to the TCM which commands the shift solenoids ON or OFF to achieve the appropriate gear.

Transmission Control Module (TCM)

The transmission control module (TCM) is mounted in the engine compartment and connects directly to the engine wiring harness. A single 42-way connector is used to make the connection between the vehicle wiring and the TCM. The TCM is an electronic control module that receives input or provides output in order to control the operation of the 5L50-E automatic transmission.

The transmission manual shift shaft switch assembly (602) is a sliding contact switch attached to the manual shift shaft inside the transmission case. The five inputs to the TCM from the transmission manual shift shaft switch assembly indicate the transmission gear selector lever position. This information is used for engine controls as well as determining the transmission shift patterns. The state of each input is available for display on the scan tool. The five input parameters represented are Signal A, Signal B, Signal C, Signal P (Parity) and Signal N (P/N Start).

Automatic Transmission Output Speed (A/T OSS) Sensor (42)

The A/T OSS sensor is a variable reluctance magnetic pickup located in the rear of the transmission case. The sensor is mounted in the case (24) opposite the rear internal gear (560). The rear internal gear is splined to the output shaft assembly (562). The sensor consists of a permanent magnet surrounded by a coil of wire. As the output shaft and rear internal gear rotate, an alternate current (AC) is induced in the coil by the 'teeth' on the rear internal gear as they pass by the magnetic pickup. Therefore, whenever the vehicle is moving, the A/T OSS sensor produces an AC voltage signal proportional to vehicle speed.

At the TCM, the AC signal is electronically converted to a 5 volt square wave pattern. The square wave pattern can then be interpreted as transmission output speed by the TCM through the frequency of square waves in a given time frame. The square waves can be thought of as a representation of the rear internal gear teeth. Therefore, the more teeth or waves that pass by the magnetic pickup in a given time frame, the faster the vehicle is moving. The square wave pattern is compared to a fixed clock signal internal to the TCM to determine transmission output speed.

Automatic Transmission Input Speed (A/T ISS) Sensor (44)

The A/T ISS sensor operates identically to the A/T OSS sensor except that is uses the stamped teeth on the reverse clutch input housing assembly (401) as the rotor reluctor. Remember that the reverse clutch input housing assembly is driven at converter turbine speed. The A/T ISS sensor square wave pattern is also compared to a fixed clock signal internal to the TCM to determine actual converter turbine speed. The TCM uses transmission input and output speeds to help determine line pressure, transmission shift patterns, TCC apply pressure, gear ratios, and TCC slippage for diagnostic purposes.

Automatic Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor

The TFT sensor is part of the transmission wiring harness assembly (55). The TFT sensor is a resistor, or thermistor, which changes value based on temperature. Refer to Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor Specifications . The sensor has a negative-temperature coefficient. This means that as the temperature increases, the resistance decreases, and as the temperature decreases the resistance increases. The TCM supplies a 5-volt reference signal to the sensor and measures the voltage drop in the circuit. When the transmission fluid is cold the sensor resistance is high and the TCM detects high signal voltage. As the fluid temperature warms to a normal operating temperature, the resistance becomes less and the signal voltage decreases. The TCM uses this information to maintain shift quality and torque converter clutch apply quality over operating temperature range.

If transmission fluid temperatures become excessively high, above approximately 140°C (248°F), the TCM will disable ECCC function and command lock up mode. Applying the TCC serves to reduce transmission fluid temperatures created by the fluid coupling in the torque converter with the TCC released.

Above approximately 149°C (284°F), the TCM will set a transmission fluid temperature code (P0218). This causes the TCM to use a fixed default value of 135°C (275°F) as the transmission fluid temperature input signal.

Shift Solenoid Valves

The Hydra-matic 5L50-E uses three electromagnetic shift solenoid valves 1-2, 2-3 and 4-5 to control upshifts and downshifts in all forward gear ranges. The shift solenoid valves are all identical, normally closed, 3-port, ON/OFF type solenoids controlled by the TCM. These shift solenoid valves work together in a combination of ON and OFF sequences to control the various shift valves. The TCM uses numerous inputs to determine which solenoid state combination the transmission should be in. Refer to Shift Solenoid Valve State and Gear Ratio .

Torque Converter Clutch Pulse Width Modulation (TCC PWM) Solenoid Valve (352)

The TCC PWM solenoid valve is a normally-closed, pulse width modulated (PWM) solenoid used to control the apply and release of the converter clutch. The TCM operates the solenoid with a negative duty cycle, at a fixed frequency of 32 Hz, to control the rate of TCC apply/release. The solenoid's ability to 'ramp' the TCC apply and release pressures results in a smoother TCC operation.

When vehicle operating conditions are appropriate to apply the TCC, the TCM increases the duty cycle to allow the TCC PWM solenoid valve to command TCC signal fluid pressure at a level sufficient to move the TCC enable valve and the TCC control valve to the apply position. Release pressure is directed to exhaust, and regulated apply fluid is directed to the apply side of the converter pressure plate/damper assembly. The TCM then increases the duty cycle to control a slippage of 20-80 RPM between the pressure plate/damper assembly and the converter cover. This provides for improved filtration of engine vibrations and allows the TCC to apply at low engine speeds in 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th gear. At high speed, lock up mode is set by activating the TCC PWM solenoid valve at maximum duty cycle.

Release of the TCC is achieved by decreasing the duty cycle to a level low enough to allow spring force to move the TCC enable valve and the TCC control valve to the release position. Apply fluid is directed to exhaust and converter feed fluid is directed into the release circuit to the release side of the pressure plate/damper assembly.

There are also some operating conditions that may prevent or enable TCC apply under various conditions, engine temperature, transmission temperature, or brake switch activation, depending on vehicle application.

TCC PWM solenoid valve resistance should measure between 10.0-11.5 ohms when measured at 20°C (68°F). The resistance should measure approximately 16 ohms at 150°C (300°F).

Pressure Control (PC) Solenoid Valve (357)

The pressure control (PC) solenoid valve is a precision electronic pressure regulator that controls transmission line pressure based on current flow through its coil windings. As current flow is increased, the magnetic field produced by the coil moves the solenoid's plunger further away from the exhaust port. Opening the exhaust port decreases the output fluid pressure regulated by the PC solenoid valve, which ultimately decreases line pressure. The TCM controls the PC solenoid valve based on various inputs including throttle position, transmission fluid temperature and gear state.

A duty cycle may be defined as the percentage of time current is flowing through a solenoid coil during each cycle. The number of cycles that occur within a specified amount of time, usually measured in seconds, is called 'frequency.' Typically, the operation of an electronically controlled pulse width modulated solenoid is explained in terms of duty cycles and frequency.

The TCM controls the PC solenoid valve on a positive duty cycle at a fixed frequency of 292.5 Hz cycles per second. A higher duty cycle provides a greater current flow through the solenoid. The high positive side of the PC solenoid valve electrical circuit at the TCM controls the PC solenoid valve operation. The TCM provides a ground path for the circuit, monitors average current and continuously varies the PC solenoid valve duty cycle to maintain the correct average current flowing through the PC solenoid valve.

The duty cycle and current flow to the PC solenoid valve are mainly affected by throttle position and engine torque. As the throttle angle engine torque increases, the duty cycle is decreased by the TCM which decreases current flow to the PC solenoid valve. Current flow to the PC solenoid valve creates a magnetic field that moves the solenoid armature against spring force.

Programming within the TCM also allows for automatic adjustments in shift pressure that are based on the changing characteristics of the transmission components. As the apply components within the transmission wear, shift time, the time required to apply a clutch, increases. In order to compensate for this wear, the TCM adjusts trim pressure by controlling the PC solenoid valve in order to maintain the originally calibrated shift timing. The automatic adjusting process is referred to as adaptive learning and it is used to assure consistent shift feel plus increase transmission durability. The TCM monitors the A/T ISS and the A/T OSS during commanded shifts to determine if a shift is occurring too fast, harsh or too slow, soft and adjusts the PC solenoid valve signal to maintain a set shift feel.

Floor Shift Control

The floor shift control is located in the center console assembly. It contains the upshift and downshift switches for the driver shift control system. The driver shift control system is activated when the floor shift control lever is moved to the right into the manual position from the drive position. When the manual position is selected, an upshift is requested by pushing the floor shift control lever forward to the + position and a downshift is requested by pulling the floor shift control lever to the - position. When an upshift or a downshift is requested, a signal is sent to the TCM which commands the shift solenoids ON or OFF to achieve the appropriate gear.

Scheme 36

The transmission electrical connector is an important part of the transmission operating system. Any interference with the electrical connection can cause the transmission to set diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) or affect proper operation.

The following items can affect the electrical connection

1. Bent terminals in the connector from rough handling during connection and disconnection
2. Wires backing away from the pins or coming uncrimped, in either the internal or the external wiring harness
3. Dirt or moisture contamination entering the connector when disconnected
4. Pins in the internal wiring connector backing out of the connector during connection
5. Transmission fluid leaking into the connector, wicking up into the external wiring harness and degrading the wire insulation
6. Low terminal tension in the external connector from excessive connection and disconnection of the wiring connector assembly
7. Terminal corrosion from contamination
8. Damaged connector or connector lock assembly

Remember the following points

1. In order to disconnect the connector, turn the connector clockwise and pull.
2. Do not pry the connector with a screwdriver or other tool.
3. The connector should screw into place with a positive feel and lock when properly installed.
4. Whenever the transmission external wiring connector is disconnected from the internal harness and the ignition is ON, transmission DTCs will set. Clear these DTCs after reconnecting the transmission connector.

Limp Home Mode Description

If a major electrical system failure occurs which could affect vehicle safety or damage the transmission during normal operation, the TCM enters a default mode. In the default mode, the transmission operates in the following manner

1. The pressure control solenoid is off and the line pressure is at maximum in order to minimize clutch slippage.
2. The TCC solenoid is off. The converter clutch is disabled.
3. All three of the shift solenoids are off. The transmission will operate in fifth gear if the vehicle has successfully completed a 1-2 upshift in the current ignition cycle. If the vehicle has not completed a 1-2 upshift in the current ignition cycle, the transmission will operate in fourth gear. If the transmission is operating in fifth gear, fourth gear may be obtained if the engine is stopped briefly and re-started.

In default mode, the gear selector lever is ineffective at selecting forward gear ranges. In fourth or fifth gear, heat builds up in the transmission quickly, particularly in stop and go traffic. Excessive heat build-up may cause transmission failure if the vehicle is driven for extended distances in default mode.
