Range Selection
The transmission has six range positions: P, R, N, (D), 3, 2 and 1.
Scheme 409
Park
In the PARK position
- There is no power flow through the transmission.
- The parking pawl locks the output shaft to the case.
- The engine may be started.
- The ignition key may be removed.
Reverse
In the REVERSE position
- The vehicle may be operated in a rearward direction, at a reduced gear ratio.
Neutral
In the NEUTRAL position
- There is no power flow through the transmission.
- The output shaft is not held and is free to turn.
- The engine may be started.
Overdrive
Overdrive is the normal position for most forward driving.
The OVERDRIVE ((D)) position provides
- automatic shifts 1-5 and 5-1.
- apply and release of the torque converter clutch.
- maximum fuel economy during normal operation.
- engine braking in fifth gear.
Drive - Overdrive Canceled
The OVERDRIVE position provides
- automatic shifts 1-4 and 4-1.
- apply and release of the torque converter clutch.
- maximum fuel economy during normal operation.
- engine braking in fourth gear.
3rd Position - 3rd Gear
The third position provides
- third gear start and hold.
- torque converter clutch apply and release.
- improved traction on slippery roads.
- engine braking.
2nd Position - 2nd Gear
The 2nd position provides
- second gear start and hold.
- torque converter clutch apply and release.
- improved traction on slippery roads.
- engine braking.
- If this position is selected at normal road speeds, the transmission will downshift into the next lower gear, and continue downshifting until the vehicle reaches second gear.
Manual Low Position
If this position is selected at normal road speeds, the transmission will downshift into the next lower gear, and continue downshifting until the vehicle reaches first gear.
This position provides
- first gear operation only.
- engine braking for descending steep grades.
Upshifts
Transmission upshifting is controlled by the powertrain control module (PCM). The PCM receives inputs from various engine or vehicle sensors and driver demands to control shift scheduling, shift feel and torque converter clutch (TCC) operation.
The PCM has an adaptive learn strategy to electronically control the transmission which will automatically adjust the shift feel. When the battery has been disconnected, or a new battery installed, certain transmission operating parameters may be lost. The PCM must relearn these parameters. During this learning process you may experience slightly firm shifts, delayed, or early shifts. This operation is considered normal and will not affect the function of the transmission. Normal operation will return once these parameters are stored by the PCM.
Downshifts
Under certain conditions the transmission will downshift automatically to a lower gear range (without moving the range selector lever). There are three categories of automatic downshifts: coastdown, torque demand and forced or kickdown shifts.
Coastdown
The coastdown downshift occurs when the vehicle is coasting down to a stop.
Kickdown
For maximum acceleration, the driver can force a downshift by pressing the accelerator pedal to the floor. A forced downshift into a lower gear is possible below calibrated speeds. Specifications for downshift speeds are subject to variations due to tire size and engine and transmission calibration requirements.

Filter
For component location, refer to DISASSEMBLED VIEWS .
- All fluid drawn from the transmission fluid pan by the fluid pump passes through the fluid filter.
- The transmission fluid filter and its accompanying seals are part of the fluid path from the sump (pan) to the fluid pump. The transmission fluid filter has a bypass section which allows fluid vented at the main regulator valve to be recirculated to the fluid pump, without passing through the transmission fluid filter.
Main Control
For component location, refer to DISASSEMBLED VIEWS .
- The main control assembly and related components are part of the pressure side of the hydraulic system.
- The main control assembly consists of the solenoids, the valve body assembly and the separator plate.
- These components combine to convert electrical signals into hydraulic actions. All valves in the main control assembly are anodized aluminum and cannot be sanded, filed, or dressed in any other way. If there is any damage to the valves that prevents or restricts their movement, install a new main control assembly.
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
The operation of the transmission is controlled by the powertrain control module (PCM). Many input sensors provide information to the PCM. The PCM then controls the actuators which determine transmission operation.
Air Conditioning (A/C) Clutch
An electromagnetic clutch is energized when the clutch cycling pressure switch closes. The switch is located on the suction accumulator/drier. The closing of the switch completes the circuit to the clutch and draws it into engagement with the compressor driveshaft. When the A/C is engaged, operating pressures are adjusted to compensate for additional load on the engine.
Brake Pedal Position (BPP) Switch
The brake pedal position (BPP) switch tells the powertrain control module (PCM) when the brakes are applied. The torque converter clutch disengages when the brakes are applied. The BPP switch closes when the brakes are applied and opens when they are released. The BPP is also used to disengage the brake shift interlock.
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor detects temperature of engine coolant and supplies the information to the powertrain control module (PCM). The ECT sensor is used to control torque converter clutch (TCC) operation.
Electronic Ignition (EI) System
The electronic ignition consists of a crankshaft position sensor, two four-tower ignition coils and the powertrain control module (PCM). The ignition control module operates by sending crankshaft position information from the crankshaft position sensor to the ignition control module. The ignition control module generates a profile ignition pickup (PIP) signal (engine rpm) and sends it to the PCM. The PCM uses PIP signal in the transmission strategy, wide-open throttle (WOT) shift control, torque converter clutch control and operating pressures.
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor provides the sequential fuel injection (SFI) system mixture temperature information. The IAT sensor is used both as a density corrector for air flow calculation and to proportion cold enrichment fuel flow. The IAT sensor is installed in the air cleaner outlet tube. The IAT sensor is also used in determining control pressures.
Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor measures the mass of air flowing into the engine. The MAF sensor output signal is used by the powertrain control module (PCM) to calculate injector pulse width. For transmission strategies the MAF sensor is used to regulate electronic pressure control, shift and torque converter clutch scheduling.
Transmission Control Switch (TCS)
The transmission control switch (TCS) is a momentary contact switch that allows the driver to cancel operation of fifth ((D)) gear.
The TCS is located on the selector lever handle.
When the driver initially presses the TIS a signal is sent to the powertrain control module (PCM).
The PCM uses the shift solenoids to disengage/disable fifth gear operation and activate the coast clutch.
At the same time, the PCM illuminates the transmission control indicator lamp (TCIL) to notify the driver that 5th gear is canceled.
When the TIS is pressed again, fifth ((D)) gear operation is enabled, the coast clutch is released and the TAIL is turned off.
Whenever the ignition is cycled (vehicle shut off, then started again), the TCS is turned off and fifth gear will be enabled, even if the TCS had been on when the ignition was shut off.
Transmission Control Indicator Lamp (TCIL)
The transmission control indicator lamp (TCIL) is located in the instrument panel and is labeled O/D OFF. It is illuminated in conjunction with the transmission control switch (TCS).
The TCIL will flash if the electronic pressure control (EPC) solenoid circuit is open, shorted to battery, ground or a fault has been detected in a monitored sensor used for transmission operation.
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
The throttle position (TP) sensor is a potentiometer mounted on the throttle body. The TP sensor detects the position of the throttle plate and sends this information to the powertrain control module (PCM). The TP sensor is used for shift scheduling, electronic pressure control (EPC) and torque converter clutch (TCC) control.
Digital Transmission Range (TR) Sensor
The digital transmission range (TR) sensor is located on the outside of the transmission at the manual lever. The digital TR sensor completes the start circuit in PARK, NEUTRAL, and the back-up lamp circuit in REVERSE. The digital TR sensor also opens and closes a set of four switches that are monitored by the powertrain control module (PCM) to determine the position of the manual lever (P, R, N, (D), 3, 2, 1).
Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) Sensor
The turbine shaft speed (TSS) sensor is a magnetic pickup that sends the powertrain control module (PCM) torque converter turbine speed information.
The TSS sensor is mounted externally on the case.
The PCM uses TSS information to help determine appropriate operating pressures and torque converter clutch (TCC) operation.
Output Shaft Speed (OSS) Sensor
The output shaft speed (OSS) sensor is a magnetic pickup, located at the park gear trigger wheel assembly, that sends a signal to the powertrain control module (PCM) to indicate transmission output shaft speed. The OSS sensor is mounted externally on the case. The OSS is used for torque converter clutch control, shift scheduling and to determine pressure control (PC).
Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor
The intermediate shaft speed sensor is a magnetic pickup that sends planetary sun gear speed information to the powertrain control module (PCM). The intermediate shaft speed sensor is mounted externally on the center of the case.
The PCM uses the intermediate shaft speed sensor information to aid in determining pressure requirements.
Pressure Control Solenoids (PCA, PCB, PCC)
The pressure control (PC) solenoids are a variable-force style (VFS) solenoid. The VFS-type solenoid is an electrohydraulic actuator combining a solenoid and a regulating valve.
The line pressure tap is used to verify output pressure from PC A or PC B by turning either one off while verifying the output from the other solenoid. The second pressure tap is used to verify the output from the PC C solenoid.
There are three PC solenoids located in the solenoid body assembly used to control line pressure, band and clutch application pressure within the transmission.
The powertrain control module (PCM) varies the current to the PC solenoid.
The PCM has an adaptive learn strategy to electronically control the transmission which will automatically adjust the shift feel. When the battery has been disconnected, or a new battery installed, certain transmission operating parameters may be lost. The PCM must relearn these parameters. During this learning process you may experience slightly firm shifts, delayed, or early shifts. This operation is considered normal and will not affect the function of the transmission. Normal operation will return once these parameters are stored by the PCM.
Shift Solenoids - (SSA, SSB, SSC, SSD)
Four On/Off shift solenoids allow the powertrain control module (PCM) to control shift scheduling.
- The solenoids are three-way, normally open style.
- The shift solenoids SSA, SSB, SSC, and SSD provide gear selection of first through fifth and reverse gears by directing PC pressures to the appropriate elements.
Coast braking and manual gears are also controlled by the shift solenoids.
Transmission Cooling
Vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions have a transmission auxiliary fluid cooler which is mounted between the radiator and the AC condenser. In operation, transmission fluid travels from the transmission to the auxiliary transmission fluid cooler then back to the transmission. The transmission auxiliary fluid cooler transfers heat from the transmission fluid to the outside air.
External Controls
The transmission shift cable transfers the transmission operating mode from the shift control selector lever to the transmission. The indicated position of the shift control selector lever is transferred to the transmission through the transmission column linkage, then to the shift cable and bracket, and down to the manual control lever on the transmission.
Shift Interlock System
The shift interlock system prevents the shifting from PARK unless the brake pedal is depressed. The shift interlock system consists of a shift lock actuator mounted on the base of the floor shift housing. If the ignition switch is in the RUN position, the shift lock actuator is continually on unless the brake pedal is depressed.
If the selector lever will not move out of park with the key in the ON position it will need to be unlocked manually.
Scheme 417
Scheme 418
- Make sure that the transmission range selector lever is in the PARK position.
- Remove the side access panel
- Locate the white plastic tab, press up and forward on the tab to unlock the transmission range selector lever. The transmission range selector lever should now be able to move.
Know and Understand the Concern
In order to correctly diagnose a concern, first understand the customer complaint or condition. Customer contact may be necessary in order to begin to verify the concern. Understand the condition as to when the concern occurs, for example
- hot or cold vehicle temperature.
- hot or cold ambient temperature.
- vehicle driving conditions.
- vehicle loaded/unloaded.
After understanding when and how the concern occurs, proceed to verify the concern.
The transmission control switch (TCS) is a momentary contact switch located on the end of the shift control selector lever. Pushing the transmission control switch (TCS) will either disengage or engage the overdrive function of the transmission. If the overdrive (D) is disengaged, the message O/D OFF will illuminate on the instrument panel.
Verification of Condition
This provides information that must be used in both determining the actual cause of customer concerns and executing the appropriate procedures.
The following procedures must be used when verifying customer concerns for the engine.
Determine Customer Concern
Note. Some transmission conditions can cause engine concerns. An electronic pressure control short circuit can cause engine misfiring. The torque converter clutch not disengaging will stall the engine.
Determine customer concerns relative to vehicle use and dependent driving conditions, paying attention to the following items
- hot or cold vehicle operating temperature
- hot or cold ambient temperatures
- type of terrain
- vehicle loaded/unloaded
- city/highway driving
- upshift
- downshift
- coasting
- engagement
- noise/vibration - check for dependencies, either rpm dependent, vehicle speed dependent, shift dependent, gear dependent, range dependent, or temperature dependent.
Shift Linkage Check
Check for a misadjustment in shift linkage by matching the detents in the transmission range selector lever with those in the transmission. If they match, the misadjustment is in the indicator. Do not adjust the shift linkage.
Hydraulic leakage at the manual control valve can cause delay in engagements and/or slipping while operating if the linkage is not correctly adjusted. Refer to SELECTOR LEVER CABLE ADJUSTMENT for shift linkage adjustment.
Check TSBs
Refer to all Technical Service Bulletins which pertain to the transmission concern and follow the procedure as outlined.
Output State Control (OSC) Mode
Output state control (OSC) allows the technician to take control of certain parameters to function the transmission. For example, OSC allows the technician to shift the transmission only when commanding a gear change. If the technician commands first gear in OSC, the transmission will remain in first gear until the technician commands the next gear. For another example, the technician can command a shift solenoid to turn on or off when carrying out an electrical circuit check. OSC has two modes of operation for transmission, the BENCH MODE and the DRIVE MODE. Each mode/parameter has a unique set of vehicle operating requirements that the technician must meet before being allowed to operate OSC.
Note. To operate OSC the digital transmission range (TR) sensor and the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) must be operational. No diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to the digital TR sensor or the VSS can be present.
- The vehicle requirements MUST BE MET when SENDING the OSC value. Refer to vehicle requirements for each individual test.
- If the vehicle requirements are NOT MET when SENDING the OSC value, an ERROR MESSAGE will appear. When the ERROR MESSAGE is received, OSC is aborted and must be restarted.
- If after a sent value is substituted and the vehicle requirements are no longer met, the PCM will cancel the OSC value and resume normal operation. No error message will be sent.
- The OSC value XXX may be sent anytime to cancel OSC.

- Using the scan tool (WDS), monitor the transmission fluid temperature (TFT) using PID: TFT.
- Start the vehicle.
- While proceeding with this procedure, run the engine until the transmission fluid temperature is between 27°C - 49°C (80°F - 120°F).
- Move the range selector lever slowly through each gear, stopping in each position and allowing the transmission to engage.
- Place the range selector lever in the PARK position.
- With the engine running, position the vehicle on a hoist and set it as close to level as possible.
- Hold the larger drain plug with a wrench and remove the small (center) fluid level indicating plug using a 3/16-inch Allen key.

- Hang the special tool under the vehicle. Position it upright and close to the transmission.
- Connect the special tools. Connect the open end of the fluid hose from the Fluid Transporter/Evacuator/Injector to the Fluid Level and Fill Plug Adapter at the bottom of the transmission fluid pan.
- Apply a maximum of 206.85 kPa (30 psi) to the open end of the vacuum/pressure hose from the special tool. Fluid will immediately start flowing out of the special tool into the transmission fluid pan.
- Add one pint of transmission fluid into the fluid pan. Stop the process by releasing the air pressure and removing the air nozzle from the end of the hose.
- Inspect the fluid level in the special tool. If the fluid drains back into the canister, the transmission is full. If no fluid drains back, more fluid will need to be added. Repeat steps 12 and 13.
- Once the transmission is full, place a hand vacuum pump on the open end of the vacuum/pressure hose of the special tool and apply vacuum to the system. This will pull out any extra fluid trapped in the system and direct it into the container.
- Allow the fluid to drain. Make sure that the fluid temperature is between 27°C - 49°C (80°F - 120°F). When the fluid comes out as a thin stream or drip, the fluid is at the correct level.
- Reinstall the small (center) fluid level indicating plug using a 3/16-inch Allen key.
- Check the operation of the transmission by moving the range selector lever slowly through each gear, stopping in each position and allowing the transmission to engage.
