DESCRIPTION & OPERATION

The first step in diagnosing any driveability problem is verifying the customer's complaint with a test drive under the conditions the problem reportedly occurred. Before entering self-diagnostics, perform a careful and complete visual inspection. Most transmission control problems result from mechanical breakdowns or poor electrical connections.

Input signals from sensors are sent to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM controls shifts and converter clutch application. The PCM can also determine line pressure needed to optimize shift feel.

Five electronic solenoids accomplish the following functions

  1. 2 On/Off solenoids for shifting.
  2. One Pulse-Width Modulator (PWM) solenoid for Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) control.
  3. One Variable Force Style (VFS) Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) solenoid for line pressure control.
  4. One Variable Force Style (VFS) 3-2 timing/coast clutch solenoid to control release of coast clutch, coordinated release of the direct clutch, and apply of the low and intermediate band.

PCM has built-in self-diagnosis, fail-safe code and warning code display for the main input sensors and solenoid valves.

Description

Following procedures are functional tests of EEC-V system. These basic test steps must be followed in sequence to avoid misdiagnosis

  1. VISUAL CHECK
  2. EQUIPMENT HOOKUP
  3. KOEO (KEY ON ENGINE OFF) SELF-TEST
  4. KOER (KEY ON ENGINE RUNNING) SELF-TEST

After each service or repair procedure has been completed, repeat QUICK TEST to ensure all EEC-V systems work properly and DTC's are no longer present.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) IDENTIFICATION

Note. Only transaxle related trouble codes are listed. For engine related DTC definitions, see TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS article in APPLICATIONS & IDENTIFICATION. For engine related DTC diagnosis, see appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. These DTCs pertain to engine performance and must be repaired first, as engine performance and related component signals will affect transaxle operation and diagnosis.
