Recommendations
When servicing the transmission, all parts should be cleaned and inspected. Individual units should be reassembled
before disassembly of other units to avoid confusion and interchanging of parts.
a Thoroughly clean the transmission exterior before removal of any component.
b Disassembly and reassembly must be made on a clean work bench. Cleanliness is of the utmost importance, the
bench tools and parts must be kept clean at all times.
c Before installing screws and other fasteners into aluminium parts, dip screw threads into transmission fluid to
prevent galling aluminium threads and to prevent screws from seizing.
d To prevent thread stripping, always use a torque wrench when installing screws or nuts.
e If threads in aluminium parts are stripped or damaged, the parts can be made serviceable by the use of
commercially available thread inserts.
f Protective tools must be used when assembling seals to prevent damage. The slightest flaw in the sealing surface
of the seal can cause an oil leak.
g Aluminium castings and valve parts are very susceptible to nicks, burrs, etc. and should be handled with care.
h Expand Internal snap rings and compress external snap rings if they are to be re-used to ensure proper seating
when reinstalled.
i Do not re-use removed O-rings, gaskets and oil seals.
j Teflon oil seal rings should not be removed unless damaged.
k During assembly of each unit, all internal moving parts must be lubricated with transmission fluid.
After complete disassembly of a component, wash all metal parts in a clean solvent and dry with compressed air. Blow
oil passages out and check to make sure they are not obstructed, small passages should be checked with tag wire. All
parts should be inspected to determine if replacement is required.
Pay particular attention to the following:
• Inspect linkage and pivot points for excessive wear.
• Bearing and thrust surfaces of all parts should be checked for excessive wear and scoring.
• Check for broken seal rings, damaged ring lands and damaged threads.
• Inspect seals for damage.
• Mating surfaces of castings should be checked for burrs. Irregularities may be removed by lapping the surface with
emery paper laid on a flat surface, such as a piece of plate glass.
• Castings should be checked for cracks and porosity.
2 General information
The hydra-matic 4L60E automatic transmission is fitted to vehicles with HFV6 engine. The mechanical and internal
electrical operation of the transmission unit is controlled by the transmission control module (TCM) for HFV6 engine.
• For information on the mechanical operation of the transmission, refer to General Motors Powertrain Group
Electronically Controlled Automatic Transmission Technician's Guide.
• For further information on the TCM, refer to 3.1 Transmission Control Module.

Economy Mode
The calibration for this mode is for maximum comfort, with minimal intrusion of engine noise and smooth shifts under all
driving conditions. When additional power is required for acceleration, full throttle upshifts are similar to those calibrated
for the power mode.
Power Mode
When activated, the TCM modifies the transmission calibration in the following ways:
1 When the throttle is less than 80% open, later upshift points are provided.
2 Shift time is reduced.
3 The torque converter clutch (TCC) will be applied in both the third and fourth speed ranges.
Cruise Mode
When the driver activates the cruise control (where fitted), the power icon in the instrument clusters multi-function display
(MFD) will be deactivated (provided the vehicle was operating in power mode) and the transmission shift pattern will
switch to the cruise control pattern. When in this mode, the TCM modifies the shift pattern so that earlier downshift and
later upshift points are provided.
Through the electronic programming of the logic processes contained in the TCM, the frequency of gear shifting and
torque converter clutch application and release is minimised. The end result of these logic processes, is that a quick
series of upshifts and downshifts (e.g. a '4 – 3 – 4' shift pattern) is minimised.
Automatic Transmission – 4L60E – General Information Page 7C1–8
Component Location
The TCM (1) is located under the instrument panel, it is attached to a bracket mounted to the firewall as shown in
Figure 7C1 – 2.
For the other components using the GM LAN databus, refer to 6E1 Powertrain Interface Module – V6.
Figure 7C1 – 2
Minimum Throttle The least amount of throttle opening required for an upshift.
Light Throttle Approximately 1/4 of accelerator pedal travel (25% Throttle Position).
Medium Throttle Approximately 1/2 of accelerator pedal travel (50% Throttle Position).
Heavy Throttle Approximately 3/4 of accelerator pedal travel (75% Throttle Position).
Wide Open Throttle (WOT) Full travel of the accelerator pedal (100% Throttle Position).
Full Throttle Detent Downshift A quick apply of the accelerator pedal to its full travel, forcing a downshift.
Zero Throttle Coast Down A full release of the accelerator pedal while the car is in motion and in drive range.
Engine Braking A condition where the engine is used to slow the car by manually downshifting
during a zero throttle coast down.
Planetary Gear Noise A whine related to car speed most noticeable in first gear or reverse. Becomes less
noticeable after an upshift.
Accumulator A component of the transmission that absorbs hydraulic pressure during the apply of a
clutch or band. Accumulators are designed to control the quality of a shift from one
gear range to another.
Adaptive Learning Programming within the TCM that automatically adjusts hydraulic pressures in order to
compensate for changes in the transmission (i.e. component wear).
Apply Components Hydraulically operated clutches, servo’s, bands and mechanical one-way roller or
sprag clutches that drive or hold members of a planetary gear set.
Apply Plate A steel clutch plate in a clutch pack, located next to the (apply) piston.
Backing Plate A steel plate in a clutch pack that is usually the last plate in that clutch assembly
(furthest from the clutch piston).
Band An apply component that consists of a flexible strip of steel and friction material that
wraps around a drum. When applied, it tightens around the drum and prevents the
drum from rotating.
Brake Switch An electrical device that provides signals to the transmission control module (TCM),
based on the position of the brake pedal. The TCM uses this information to apply or
release the torque converter clutch (TCC).
Centrifugal Force A force that is imparted on an object (due to rotation) that increases as that object
moves further away from a centre-point of rotation.

1 General Information
1.1 Introduction
This Section covers the electrical diagnostic for the 4L60E automatic transmission when mated to a V6 engine.
• apply and release through the TCC pulse width modulated (PWM) solenoid valve, and
Electrical signals from various sensors provide information to the TCM about the following:
• vehicle speed,
• throttle position,
• engine speed,
The TCM uses this information to determine the precise moment to upshift or downshift, apply or release the TCC and
what fluid pressure is needed to apply the clutches. This type of control provides consistent and precise shift points and
shift quality based on the operating conditions of the vehicle.
Figure 7C2 – 1 shows the location of the internal electronic components in the transmission.

The 4L60E automatic transmission uses the adapt function for garage shifts, upshifts and torque converter clutch (TCC)
application. The TCM monitors the engine torque to determine if the shift is occurring too fast or too slow and adjusts the
pressure control solenoid to maintain the correct shift feel.
Automatic Transmission – 4L60E – Electrical Diagnosis Page 7C2–10
• The pressure control solenoid is off and the line pressure is at maximum to minimise clutch slippage.
• The TCC solenoid is off, therefore the torque converter clutch is disabled.
• The two shift solenoids are turned off. The transmission will operate in fourth 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 third gear. If the transmission is operating in fourth gear, third gear
may be obtained if the engine is stopped briefly and re-started.
In limp home mode, the gear selector lever is ineffective at selecting forward gear ranges. In third or fourth 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 limp home mode.
2 Disconnect the connector (1) from the transmission control module (TCM) (2) as follows, refer to Figure 7C2 – 2:
b press the locking tab and swing the lever (4) to free the connector,
Figure 7C2 – 2
The TCM is an electronic control module receiving input or providing output to control the operation of the 4L60E
automatic transmission.
The TCM receives the following inputs from the engine control module (ECM):
• engine speed and torque values,
• engine intake air temperature (IAT), accelerator pedal position (APP) information,
The ECM provides this data to the TCM through the databus.
The TCM provides the following outputs to control the automatic transmission:
• torque converter clutch (TCC) pulse width modulated (PWM) solenoid operation to control the apply and release of
the torque converter clutch assembly, and
• vehicle speed,

4 Diagnostics
4.1 Introduction
The transmission diagnostic procedure is organised in a logical structure that begins with the diagnostic system check
and as such must always be used as the starting point. The diagnostic system check directs the technician to the logical
steps necessary to diagnose a transmission driveability fault condition.
Understanding of the following is required to perform any of the diagnostic procedures detailed in this Service
Information:
• Basic electronics,
The following precautions must be observed when performing all diagnostic procedures. Otherwise, incorrect diagnostic
results or damage to system components will occur:
2 Disconnect the battery negative lead when performing the following procedures:
3 Disconnect the battery terminal ground lead and the electronic control module wiring harness connector before
attempting any electric arc welding on the vehicle.
4 Do not start the engine if the battery terminal is not properly secured to the battery.
5 Do not disconnect or reconnect any of the following while the ignition is switched on or when the engine is running:
6 Ensure that the correct procedure for disconnecting and connecting system electrical wiring harness connectors is
always followed. For information on the correct procedure for disconnecting and connecting specific wiring
connectors, refer to 8A Electrical-Body and Chassis.
Automatic Transmission – 4L60E – Electrical Diagnosis Page 7C2–28
7 Ensure that all wiring harness connectors are fitted correctly and secure.
8 When steam or pressure cleaning vehicle components, such as engines, transmissions, etc., do not direct the
cleaning nozzle at any system electrical wiring harness connectors or components.
10 The fault must be present when using the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Diagnostic Tables. Otherwise,
misdiagnosis or replacement of good parts may occur.
11 Do not touch any electronic control module connector pins or soldered components on the circuit board. This is
required to avoid the possibility of electrostatic discharge damage.
12 Use only the test equipment specified in the diagnostic tables, as other test equipment may give incorrect results or
damage good components.
13 Electronic control modules are designed to withstand normal current draws associated with vehicle operation.
However, the following fault conditions or incorrect test procedure may overload internal control module circuits and
irreparably damage the control module:
• A short to voltage fault condition in any of the control module low reference circuits may cause internal and/or
sensor damage. Therefore, any short to voltage fault condition in the control module low reference circuits
must be rectified before replacing a faulty component.
• A short to ground fault condition in any of the control module 5 volts reference circuits may cause internal
control module and/or sensor damage. Therefore, any short to ground fault condition in the control module 5
volt reference circuits must be rectified before replacing a faulty component.
• When using a test light to test an electrical circuit, do not use any of the control module low reference circuits
or 5 volts reference circuits as a reference point. Otherwise, excessive current draw from the test light may
damage the control module.
14 Disregard DTCs that set while performing the following diagnostic Steps:
• Disconnecting a control module system sensor connector then switching the ignition ON.
15 After completing the required diagnostics and service operations, road test the vehicle to ensure correct system
operation.
1 Refer to relevant Service Techlines for information regarding the fault condition.
4 Ensure that all relevant control module system related fuses are serviceable.
5 Inspect for incorrect aftermarket theft deterrent devices, lights or mobile phone installation.
6 Ensure that there is no speaker magnet positioned too close to any electronic module that contains relays.
7 Inspect the system wiring harness for proper connections, pinches or cuts.

The diagnostic tables locate a faulty circuit or component through a logic based on the process of elimination. These
diagnostic tables are developed with the following assumptions:
Understanding and the correct use of the diagnostic tables are essential to reduce diagnostic time and to prevent
misdiagnosis.
Relationship between the logged DTCs can then be analysed to determine the source of the fault condition. Always
begin the diagnostic process with the DTC table of the fault condition that may trigger other DTCs to set.
• a system voltage that is too low may cause incorrect transmission tem operation or transmission component
malfunction,
• a system voltage that is too high may damage the TCM and/or other components,
• fault condition in the TCM Read Only Memory (ROM) or Random Access Memory (RAM),
If there are no obvious faults to begin a multiple DTC fault condition diagnostic procedure, refer to the Conditions for
Running the DTC in each diagnostic.
NOTE
Depending on the type of DTC set, the TCM may
command the malfunction indiciator lamp (MIL) to
display on the instrument cluster and warn the
driver there is a fault in the transmission. Refer to
the RA Rodeo Owner Manual for further
information on the MIL.
• records the operating condition at the time the diagnostic fails and stores this information in the Freeze Frame/
Failure Record.
• sets a current Type B DTC that represents the fault condition, and
• records the operating conditions at the time the fault sets and stores this information in the Failure Records.
• records the operating condition at the time the diagnostic fails and stores this information in the Freeze
Frame/ Failure Record.
• If there are no DTCs logged after six consecutive ignition cycles, the TCM deactivates the MIL.
• Type A or Type B History DTC clears when there is no fault condition after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles.
• records the operating conditions at the time the DTC is logged and stores this information in the Failure Record,
and
NOTE
The MIL does not illuminate when a Type C DTC
sets.
• Type C History DTC clears when there is no fault condition after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles.
Current DTCs
A DTC is a Current DTC if the fault condition that triggers the DTC is present during the last TCM self-diagnostics.
History DTCs
A DTC is a History DTC if the fault condition that triggers the DTC is not present during the last TCM self-diagnostics.

DTC Description
This diagnostic procedure supports DTC P0218 Transmission Fluid Overtemperature.
Circuit Description
The flow of transmission fluid starts in the bottom pan and is drawn through the filter, control valve body assembly,
transmission case and into the oil pump assembly. The oil pump assembly pressurises the fluid and directs it to the
pressure regulator valve where it becomes the main supply of fluid to the various components and hydraulic circuits in
the transmission. Hot fluid exiting the torque converter flows through the converter clutch apply valve and into the
transmission cooler lines, to the oil cooler located in the vehicle radiator, and auxiliary cooler if equipped. From the cooler,
fluid returns to cool and lubricate the front of the transmission. In forward drive ranges, D4 fluid from the manual valve is
routed through an orificed cup plug in the rear of the transmission case to feed the rear lube fluid circuit.
When the transmission control module (TCM) detects a high transmission fluid temperature (TFT) for a long period of
time, DTC P0218 sets. DTC P0218 is a type C DTC.
• The TCM records the operating conditions when the conditions for setting the DTC are met. The TCM stores this
information as Failure Records.
• The TCM clears the DTC from TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a non-emission
related diagnostic fault occurring.
• The TCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the DTC passes.

DTC Description
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs:
• DTC P0712 – Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor Circuit Low Voltage, and
• DTC P0713 – Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor Circuit High Voltage.
Circuit Description
The automatic transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor is part of the automatic transmission fluid pressure (TFP)
manual valve position switch. The automatic TFT sensor is a negative coefficient thermistor. The transmission control
module (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
increases, the resistance of the sensor decreases, which lowers the signal voltage. This diagnostic monitors the TFT
circuit. The circuit may be functional, but not in the normal operating range. This diagnostic indicates stuck, erratic,
intermittent, skewed, or inaccurate values, indicating poor system performance. The TFT range is -40 – 151°C.

DTC Description
This diagnostic procedure supports DTC P0722 Vehicle Speed Sensor Circuit Low Voltage.
Circuit Description
The vehicle speed sensor (VSS) provides vehicle speed information to the transmission control module (TCM). The VSS
is a permanent magnet generator. The sensor is mounted in the extension housing facing the rear internal gear which is
splined to the output shaft assembly. As the output shaft and internal gear rotate, the toothed rotor of the internal gear
produces AC voltage as the rotor teeth pass through the magnetic field of the sensor. The AC voltage level and the
number of pulses increase as the speed of the vehicle increases. The TCM converts the voltage to vehicle speed. The
TCM uses the output shaft speed signal to determine shift timing and torque converter clutch (TCC) scheduling.
If the TCM detects no vehicle speed when there is engine speed in a drive gear range, then DTC P0722 sets.
DTC P0722 is a type B DTC.
• Ignition voltage is 8 – 18 V.
• The TCM calculates vehicle speed from the automatic transmission engine r.p.m. and commanded gear.
• At the time of the first failure, the TCM records the operating conditions when the conditions for setting the DTC are
met. The TCM stores this information as a Failure Record.
• At the time of the second failure, the ECM records the operating conditions when the conditions for setting the DTC
are met. The ECM stores this information as a Freeze Frame.
• The TCM clears the DTC from TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without an emission related
diagnostic fault occurring.
• The TCM cancels the default actions when the ignition is off long enough to power down the TCM.
Diagnostic Aids
• Inspect the rear internal gear teeth for damage.

DTC Description
This diagnostic procedure supports DTC P0741 Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) System - Stuck Off.
Circuit Description
The torque converter clutch (TCC) solenoid valve is a normally-open exhaust valve that is used with the torque converter
clutch pulse width modulation (TCC PWM) solenoid valve to control fluid acting on the converter clutch apply valve. The
TCC solenoid valve attaches to the transmission case assembly extending into the pump cover. When grounded by the
transmission control module (TCM), the TCC solenoid valve stops converter signal oil from exhausting. This causes
converter signal oil pressure to increase and move the converter clutch apply valve against spring force and into the
apply position. In this position, release fluid is open to an exhaust port and converter feed fluid fills the apply fluid circuit.
The converter feed fluid applies the TCC. When the TCM no longer provides a ground path, the TCC solenoid valve de-
energizes and apply fluid exhausts, releasing the TCC.
When the TCM detects high torque converter slip when the TCC is commanded off, then DTC P0741 sets. DTC P0741 is
a type B DTC.
• Ignition voltage is 8 – 18 V.
• The TCC duty cycle is greater than 60 percent for more than 3 seconds.
• At the time of the first failure, the TCM records the operating conditions when the conditions for setting the DTC are
met. The TCM stores this information as a Failure Record.
• At the time of the second failure, the ECM records the operating conditions when the conditions for setting the DTC
are met. The ECM stores this information as a Freeze Frame.
• The TCM clears the DTC from TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a non-emission
related diagnostic fault occurring.
• The TCM cancels the default actions when the ignition is off long enough to power down the TCM.
Diagnostic Aids
• Inspect the transmission fluid lines to the radiator. The lines may be pinched, blocked or twisted.
• Contamination may cause the TCC apply valve to stick in the valve body.
Test Description
The following numbers refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic table:

between the 3-4 clutch release and the 2-4 band apply depending on the vehicle speed and the throttle position.
When the TCM detects a continuous short to voltage in the 3-2 shift solenoid valve control circuit, then DTC P0788 sets.
DTC P0788 is a type A DTC.
• At the time of the first failure, the TCM records the operating conditions when the conditions for setting the DTC are
met. The TCM stores this information as a Failure Record.
• At the time of the second failure, the ECM records the operating conditions when the conditions for setting the DTC
are met. The ECM stores this information as a Freeze Frame.
• The TCM stores DTC P0788 in TCM history during the second consecutive trip in which the conditions for setting
the DTC are met.
• The TCM clears the DTC from TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a non-emission
related diagnostic fault occurring.
• The TCM cancels the DTC default actions when the ignition is off long enough to power down the TCM.

DTC Description
This diagnostic procedure supports DTC P0894 Transmission Component Slipping.
Circuit Description
The transmission control module (TCM) monitors the difference between engine speed and transmission output speed.
In D3 drive range with the TCC engaged, the engine speed should closely match the transmission output speed. In D4
drive range, with the TCC engaged, the TCC slip speed should be -20 to +50 r.p.m.
When the TCM detects excessive TCC slip when the TCC should be engaged, then DTC P0894 sets. DTC P0894 is a
type B DTC.
• The speed ratio is 0.70 – 2.25, speed ratio is engine speed divided by the transmission output speed.
NOTE
The following actions may occur before the DTC
sets, if the:
• TCC is commanded on for 10 seconds, and
• the TCC is at 75 percent duty cycle for
5 seconds, and
• the TP angle is 10 – 99 percent, and
• the transmission slip counter has incremented
to either 1 or 2, out of 3 to increment the fail
counter for the current ignition cycle,
then the following slip conditions and actions may
increment the fail counter for the current ignition
cycle. These conditions must occur sequentially.
Condition 1
If the TCC slip speed is 100 – 550 r.p.m. for 10 seconds, then the TCM will command maximum line pressure and freeze
shift adapts from being updated.
Condition 2
If Condition 1 is met and the TCC slip speed is 100 – 550 r.p.m. for 10 seconds, then the TCM will command the TCC off
for 1.5 seconds.
Condition 3
If Condition 2 is met and the TCC slip speed is 100 – 550 r.p.m. for 10 seconds, then the fail counter on the current
ignition cycle is incremented.
The above slip conditions and actions may be disregarded if the TCC is commanded off at any time, because of a driving
manoeuvre, sudden acceleration or deceleration.

3 Checks the torque converter for slippage while in a commanded lock-up state.
4-12 Checks the mechanical components that cause the DTC and their state.
13 When the TAP cells are cleared the TCM needs to relearn the TAP cells for the transmission. As such, when the
vehicle is first driven, the shifts may be harsh. The transmission shifts should become smoother the more the
vehicle is driven until the TCM has relearned all TAP cells.

DTC Description
This diagnostic procedure supports DTC P0961 Line Pressure Control (PC) Solenoid System Performance.
Circuit Description
The pressure control (PC) solenoid valve is an electronic device that regulates transmission line pressure based on the
current flow through its coil winding. The magnetic field produced by the coil moves the solenoid's internal valve, which
varies pressure to the pressure regulator valve. The transmission control module (TCM) controls the PC solenoid valve
by applying a varying amount of current to the solenoid. The applied current can vary from 0.1 – 1.1 A. Low current,
0.1 A, indicates high line pressure. High current, 1.1 A, indicates low line pressure. The duty cycle of the PC solenoid
valve is expressed as a percentage of energised on time. Zero percent indicates zero on time, non-energised, or no
current flow. Approximately 60 percent at idle indicates maximum on time, energised, or high current flow. The TCM
determines the appropriate line pressure for a given load by comparing the throttle position, the engine speed and other
inputs.
When the TCM detects a continuous open or short to ground in the PC solenoid valve circuit, then DTC P0961 sets.
DTC P0961 is a type C DTC.
• The TCM records the operating conditions when the conditions for setting the DTC are met. The TCM records this
information as a Failure Record.
Diagnostic Aids
DTC P0961 may set under low voltage conditions caused by high electrical system demands.
Test Description
The following numbers refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic table:
3 Checks the resistance of the control valve body wiring harness and the PC solenoid.
5 Checks the serviceability of the PC solenoid circuits contained in the control valve body wiring harness.

The combined unit mounts on the valve body. The transmission control module (TCM) supplies ignition voltage for each
range signal. By grounding one or more of these circuits through various combinations of the pressure switches, the
TCM detects which manual valve position you select. The TCM compares the actual voltage combination of the switches
to a TFP manual valve position switch combination chart stored in memory.
The TFP manual valve position switch cannot distinguish between park and neutral because the monitored valve body
pressures are identical. With the engine off and the ignition switch on, the TFP manual valve position switch indicates
Automatic Transmission – 4L60E – Electrical Diagnosis Page 7C2–104
park/neutral. Disconnecting connector E-95 from the transmission removes the ground potential for the three range
signals to the TCM. In this case, with the engine off, and the ignition switch on, D2 will be indicated.
When the TCM detects an invalid state of the TFP manual valve position switch circuit by deciphering the TFP manual
valve position switch inputs, then either DTC P1810, P1815 or P1816 sets. All theses DTCs are a type B DTC.
DTC P1810
• The system voltage is 8 – 18 V.
DTC P1815
• No DTCs P0722 or P0723.
• The engine speed is less than 50 r.p.m., then 50 – 650 r.p.m. for 0.75 seconds, then greater than 650 r.p.m. for
5 seconds.
DTC P1816
• No DTCs P0722 or P0723.
• The engine speed is less than 50 r.p.m., then 50 – 650 r.p.m. for 0.75 seconds, then greater than 650 r.p.m. for
5 seconds.
DTC P1810
DTC P1810 sets when the TCM detects an invalid TFP manual valve position switch state for 60 seconds.
DTC P1815
DTC P1815 sets when the TCM detects D2 only, TFP manual valve position switch state after engine start for 7 seconds.
DTC P1816
DTC P1816 sets when the TCM detects one of the following conditions for 13 seconds:
• At the time of the first failure, the TCM records the operating conditions when the conditions for setting the DTC are
met. The TCM stores this information as a Failure Record.
• At the time of the second failure, the ECM records the operating conditions when the conditions for setting the DTC
are met. The ECM stores this information as a Freeze Frame.
• The TCM stores the DTC in TCM history during the second consecutive trip in which the conditions for setting the
DTC are met.
• The TCM clears the DTC from TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a non-emission
related diagnostic fault occurring.
• The TCM cancels the DTC default actions when the ignition is off long enough to power down the TCM.
Diagnostic Aids
• Refer to the 5.3 Transmission Fluid Pressure Manual Valve Position Switch Logic for the normal range signals
and the invalid combinations. On the table, LOW is 0 V, HI is ignition voltage.
• Sediment in the valve body may cause improper operation of the TFP manual valve position switch. If the presence
of sediment is suspected, clean the valve body and replace the TFP manual valve position switch.

2 Maintenance Operations
For the automatic transmission fluid diagnosis, refer to 7C3 Automatic Transmission – 4L60E – Hydraulic and
Mechanical Diagnosis.
NOTE
A dark brown fluid colour observed, coupled with
a reported delayed shift pattern may only indicate
that fluid replacement is required. This is not a
definite indication of a potential transmission
failure.
NOTE
Carry out this operation with the transmission at
normal operating temperature (82 – 94°C), as the
temperature greatly affects the fluid level.
1 Drive the vehicle for a distance of at least 25 km to bring the transmission up to normal operating temperature.
2 If the vehicle has been operated under any of the following conditions, switch the engine off and allow the
transmission to cool for approximately thirty minutes:
• towing.
4 Move the gear selector to the Park position and apply the park brake.
5 Allow the engine to idle for 3 minutes with the accessories turned off.
