7 Transmission Specifications.
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.
Oil Cooler Pipes

Should any transmission fluid cooling pipe suffer accidental damage, a genuine replacement pipe must be fitted. Refer to
the current release of PartFinder™ to determine the correct part number for the particular engine and pipe involved.
Reworking of damaged pipes or hand made replacements are not permitted.
Clean and Inspect
Do not use solvents on neoprene seals,

composition faced clutch plates or thrust
washers as damage to parts may occur.
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.

Electrical Diagnosis
For transmissions fitted to V6 engines, the electrical diagnosis is in this Section. A new electrical circuit and control
module has been introduced for automatic transmissions fitted to the V6 engines.

Hydraulic and Mechanical Diagnosis
Information contained in 7C3 Automatic Transmission – 4L60E – Hydraulic and Mechanical Diagnosis will assist in the
diagnosis of the mechanical and hydraulic components in the 4L60E automatic transmission, while the transmission
remains installed on the vehicle.
Examples of the type of diagnostic information contained within this section are:
• transmission functional test,
• line pressure information,
• transmission fluid diagnosis,
• symptom diagnosis and
• shift speed charts.

On-vehicle Servicing
Information in 7C4 Automatic Transmission – 4L60E – On-vehicle Servicing covers transmission fluid level checking, as
well as specific information for servicing some components while the transmission remains installed on the vehicle. This
Section also covers the transmission removal and reinstallation to the vehicle.
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.
2.1 Transmission Control Module – HFV6

Vehicles fitted with a V6 engine and the 4L60E transmission have a new control module and data bus architecture from
previous models. This is due to the introduction of the new V6 engine. Mechanically, the transmission has not changed.
V6 equipped vehicles are now fitted with T42 – Delphi with GMPT software, transmission control module (TCM) to
control all transmission operations. For further information on the TCM and its operation, refer to 3 Transmission Control
Module Operation Overview.
2.2 Transmission Identification

The 4L60E automatic transmission application and identification can be determined from the stamping at the rear of the
transmission , in the location (7) as shown in Figure 7C1 – 1.
Identification is as follows:
(1) model year,
• (6 = 2006).
(2) Broad Cast Code Identifier,

• HHD = RWD – 3.6 litre HFV6
• HLD = 4WD – 3.6 litre HFV6
(D = model 4L60E).
(3) Manufacturer Source Code,

• (4 = Ramos).
(4) Julian date (day of the year).
(5) Shift Build,

• 'A','B','J' = First shift,
• 'C','H','W' = Second shift.
(6) Individual transmission serial number.

2.3 Economy, Power and Cruise Modes

The programming in the transmission control module (TCM) allows for different shift patterns, which are driver
controllable through the use of the power (PWR) button. The power button is located in the centre console.
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.
2.4 System Protection Devices

Should 1st gear be selected and left in that range, the TCM will protect the engine from an over-speeding condition by
upshifting to 2nd gear at a pre-determined point. Similarly, the TCM provides high speed, downshift protection by
preventing a manual shift into 1st gear above pre-determined engine speeds.
Under severe operating conditions such as towing in high ambient temperatures, fluid temperatures can rise to a point
where lubrication breakdown can occur. In addition to having an oil cooler fitted to the vehicle, the 4L60E transmission is
also fitted with a transmission fluid temperature sensor located in the Transmission Range (TR) Pressure Switch
Assembly (PSA).
When fluid temperatures in excess of 135°C are sensed, the torque converter clutch is applied as programmed, in 3rd or
4th gear. This action reduces further the fluid temperature during normal operation of the torque converter. While these
high fluid temperatures are sensed however, torque converter clutch apply is not available when the throttle opening is
above 50%.
Similarly, when the fluid temperature is below 29°C, the TCM prevents torque converter clutch apply.
If a condition occurs, preventing electronic control of the transmission's functions, a 'Fail Safe' mode will default the
transmission to 3rd gear when either Drive or 3 is selected, applying also maximum line pressure. While in this mode, the
vehicle operator can still manually select 2, 1, Reverse, Park or Neutral, should the need arise.
2.5 Self Diagnosis

If any transmission operation controlled by the TCM begins to operate outside its pre-set parameters, the TCM has the
ability to store a range of diagnostic codes which can be accessed by the servicing technician, thereby localising the
problem.
2.6 TCM Sensors and Actuators

As indicated earlier, there are a number of sensors and switches providing input information for the TCM programming
that will allow the TCM to change the shift pattern, shift feel and torque converter clutch operation.
The TCM does this by comparing this input information with its predetermined values on shift pattern, fluid pressure
maps, shift duration parameters, extreme heat protection programming and adaptive controls.
In addition, each input signal and output actuator operation is also monitored and if outside its pre-set parameters, a
diagnostic code is logged for future reference by the servicing technician.
3 Transmission Control Module

Operation Overview
3.1 Transmission Control Module
With the introduction of the new HFV6 engine, the powertrain architecture has been redesigned to accommodate this
introduction. With this design, a new bus architecture and protocol has also been introduced. The new bus connects the
following modules:
• engine control module (ECM),
• transmission control module (TCM),
• powertrain interface module (PIM) and
• ABS module.
The protocol used to communicate between these modules is called General Motors Local Area Network (GM LAN)
which is based on Controller Area Network (CAN) communication protocol. For further information on GM LAN protocol
and data bus structure, refer to 6E1 Powertrain Interface Module – V6.
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
Transmission Control Module Data Transfer

The TCM uses various information to control the shift of the transmission. Besides the direct inputs from the various
transmission sensors directly into the TCM, the TCM uses data from the GM LAN databus.
The inputs/outputs directly connected to the TCM from the transmission are:
• shift solenoids,
• torque converter clutch control,
• pressure control solenoid,
• transmission fluid temperature sensor and
• vehicle speed sensor.
Refer to 3.2 TCM Wiring Diagrams.
The transmission also receives inputs from the park/neutral position and back up lamp switch assembly.
The TCM needs other various data parameters to control the transmission correctly. These include throttle plate angle,
whether cruise control is engaged and active or not, engine RPM etc. These are provided to the TCM from the ECM via
serial data using GM LAN communication protocol.
The TCM also supplies information that is used by other components and systems within the vehicle such as the engine
control module (ECM) and instrument cluster. Any information that is required on the body side of the data bus (UART
protocol) is translated by the powertrain interface module (PIM). For further information on the data bus structure, the
PIM and its operation, refer to 6E1 Powertrain Interface Module – V6.
Transmission Control Module Operation

The TCM processes data every 10 milliseconds from various sensors, such as throttle position, vehicle speed, gear
range, temperature, engine load and other inputs. The TCM compares all its various inputs with the internal programming
and calibration of the TCM using this data, a signal is transmitted to the valve body shift solenoids, which activate the
shift valves for precise shift control. Shift points are therefore precisely controlled and are identical from vehicle to vehicle.
The TCM also control torque converter clutch apply and release.
Shift feel is also electronically controlled by the TCM, by signals sent to the variable force solenoid, which controls fluid
line pressure and it is this pressure that precisely determines how the shifts will feel. In this way, the TCM electronically
synchronises the engine and transmission into a single integrated powertrain system for optimum performance, shift
timing, fuel efficiency and emission control.
3.2 TCM Wiring Diagrams

For details of the transmission control module (TCM) wiring diagrams, refer to 8A Electrical-Body and Chassis.

1 General Information
1.1 Introduction
This Section covers the electrical diagnostic for the 4L60E automatic transmission when mated to a V6 engine.
1.2 General Description

The 4L60E automatic transmission incorporates electronic controls that utilise a transmission control module (TCM) to
control shift points through:
• the 1-2 and 2-3 shift solenoid valves,
• the 3-2 downshift solenoid valve,
• a torque converter clutch (TCC) solenoid valve,
• apply and release through the TCC pulse width modulated (PWM) solenoid valve, and
• line pressure through the pressure control (PC) solenoid valve.
Electrical signals from various sensors provide information to the TCM about the following:
• vehicle speed,
• throttle position,
• engine coolant temperature,
• transmission fluid temperature,
• gear range selector position,
• engine speed,
• converter turbine speed, and
• engine load braking and operating mode.
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.

Transmission Adaptive Functions

The 4L60E automatic transmission uses a line pressure control system, which has the ability to adapt the system line
pressure to compensate for normal wear within the transmission, such as the clutch pack fibre plates, seals, springs, etc.
The adapt feature is similar in function to the long term/short term fuel trim feature of the engine management system.
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.
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 limp home mode. In the limp home mode, the transmission operates in the following
manner:
• 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.

1.4 Electronic Component Description

For all other electrical components not covered in this section, refer to General Motors Powertrain Group Electronically
Controlled Automatic Transmission Technician's Guide.
Transmission Control Module (TCM)

The Transmission Control Module (TCM) is located under the instrument panel, next to the brake pedal assembly and
connects directly to the transmission wiring harness. A single 49-way connector is used to make the connection between
the vehicle wiring harness and the TCM.
To access the connector for diagnosis:
1 Ensure the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
2 Disconnect the connector (1) from the transmission control module (TCM) (2) as follows, refer to Figure 7C2 – 2:
a remove the securing pin (3),
b press the locking tab and swing the lever (4) to free the connector,
c remove the connector.

Figure 7C2 – 2
The TCM is an electronic control module receiving input or providing output to control the operation of the 4L60E
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,
• engine coolant temperature (ECT),
• driver selected shift mode, and
• air-conditioning (A/C) status.
The ECM provides this data to the TCM through the databus.
Other TCM inputs are:
• battery and ignition voltage,
• brake switch status,
• transmission fluid temperature (TFT), and
vehicle speed sensor (VSS).
The TCM provides the following outputs to control the automatic transmission:
• shift solenoids to control transmission shifting,
• torque converter clutch (TCC) pulse width modulated (PWM) solenoid operation to control the apply and release of
the torque converter clutch assembly, and
• pressure control (PC) solenoid to regulate the transmission line pressure.
Other TCM outputs provided to the ECM / PIM are:
• MIL illumination request,
• vehicle speed,
• transmission fluid temperature,
• commanded gear status,
• TCC status, and
• torque reduction requests.

wide open throttle (WOT).
Torque Converter Efficiency: This parameter displays a ratio of 0.00:1 to 2:1. The ratio is calculates by multiplying the
speed ratio by a value related to the ‘K factor’ of the torque converter. The ‘K factor’ is the looseness or tightness of the
torque converter for a given torque. The nearer the torque converter is to full coupling, i.e. 1:1, the closer the torque
converter efficiency number will be to 1.

result in incorrect diagnostic results or
damage to system components.
Understanding of the following is required to perform any of the diagnostic procedures detailed in this Service
Information:
• Basic electronics,
• Electrical wiring circuits,
• Electrical circuits testing, and
• Correct use of basic system diagnostic tools.
4.3 Diagnostic Precautions
When tests are required on connector

terminals, use the adapters in connector
adaptor kit J35616-C to prevent damage to
terminals.
The following precautions must be observed when performing all diagnostic procedures. Otherwise, incorrect diagnostic
results or damage to system components will occur:
1 Disconnection of the battery affects certain vehicle electronic systems.
2 Disconnect the battery negative lead when performing the following procedures:
• Disconnecting the electronic control module wiring harness connector/s or
• Charging the battery.
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:
• Any electronic control module or system component electrical wiring connector, or
• Battery terminal leads.
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.
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.
9 Do not clear any DTCs unless instructed.
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:
• Using the Tech 2 output control function, or
• 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.
4.4 Preliminary Checks

The Preliminary Checks is a set of visual and physical checks or inspections that may quickly identify a control module
system fault condition:
1 Refer to relevant Service Techlines for information regarding the fault condition.
2 Ensure that the battery is fully charged.
3 Inspect the battery connections for corrosion or a loose terminal.
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.
8 Ensure that all control module related electrical wiring connectors are fitted correctly.
9 Inspect the control module ground connections for corrosion, loose terminal or incorrect position.
10 Ensure that the resistance between the control module housing and the battery ground cable is less than 0.5 ohms.
11 Check that the control module and its mounting bracket is secure.
12 Check all control module related components for correct installation.
13 Check the control module and related wiring harness routing to ensure that no rubbing or cutting of the wiring
harness by sharp body components can occur.
4.5 Diagnostic Trouble Code Tables

The diagnostic system check and the DTC list, directs the technician to the appropriate diagnostic trouble code (DTC)
tables if there is a DTC currently stored in the TCM.
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:
• the vehicle functioned correctly at the time of assembly,
• there are no multiple faults, and
• the problem currently exists.
Understanding and the correct use of the diagnostic tables are essential to reduce diagnostic time and to prevent
misdiagnosis.
Multiple DTCs Fault Condition

Some fault conditions trigger multiple component DTCs even if the fault condition exists only on a single component. If
there are multiple DTCs stored in the TCM, the service technician must view and record all DTCs logged.
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.
The following fault conditions may trigger multiple DTCs:
• a fault in the serial data communication circuit,
• 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),
• fault condition in the TCM internal circuitry or programming, or
• improperly connected sensor or component wiring connector.
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.
4.6 Diagnostic Trouble Code Definitions

The TCM constantly performs self-diagnostic tests on the transmission and it components. When the TCM detects a fault
condition in the transmission operating parameters, the TCM sets a DTC to represents that fault condition. The following
are the types of DTCs programmed in the TCM. In addition, DTCs are classified as either Current or History DTC.
• Type A – Emission Related DTCs,
• Type B – Emission Related DTCs, and
• Type C – Non-emission Related DTCs.
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.
Type A – Emission Related DTCs

The TCM takes the following action when a Type A DTC runs and fails:
• sets a current Type A DTC that represents the fault condition,
• illuminates the MIL, and

• records the operating condition at the time the diagnostic fails and stores this information in the Freeze Frame/
Failure Record.
Type B – Emission Related DTCs

The TCM takes the following actions when a Type B DTC runs and fails.
• On the first time a Type B DTC fails:
• 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.
• On the second consecutive ignition cycle that a Type B DTC fails:
• illuminates the MIL, and
• records the operating condition at the time the diagnostic fails and stores this information in the Freeze
Frame/ Failure Record.
Conditions for Clearing Type A or Type B DTCs

• The current DTC clears when there is no fault condition in the current TCM self-diagnostics.
• 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.
• Use of Tech 2 to clear DTCs.
Type C – Non-emission Related DTCs

The TCM takes the following action when a Type C DTC runs and fails:
• sets a current Type C DTC that represents the fault condition,
• 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.
Conditions for Clearing Type C DTCs

• The current DTC clears when there is no fault condition in the current TCM self-diagnostics.
• Type C History DTC clears when there is no fault condition after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles.
• Use of Tech 2 to clear DTCs.
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.

4.9 DTC P0218 – Transmission Fluid

Overtemperature
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.
Refer to 2 Wiring Diagrams and Connector Chart to aid in diagnosis.
Conditions for Running the DTC

• No DTCs P0711, P0712 or P0713.
• The ignition switch is on for 5 seconds.
Conditions for Setting the DTC

The TFT is greater than 130°C for 600 seconds (10 minutes).
Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• The TCM does not request the ECM to illuminate the MIL.
• The TCM freezes transmission adapt functions.

• 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 stores DTC P0218 in TCM history.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• Tech 2 can clear the DTC.
• 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.
Diagnostic Aids
• Tech 2’s Transmission Fluid Temp. should rise steadily to a normal operating temperature, then stabilise.
• Ask about the customer's driving habits, trailer towing, etc. Trailer towing should occur in D3.
• Refer to Symptoms - Automatic Transmission in 7C3 Automatic Transmission – 4L60E – Hydraulic and Mechanical
Diagnosis.
Test Description

4.13 DTC P0711 to P0713 – Transmission

Fluid Temperature Sensor
DTC Description
• DTC P0711 – Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor Performance,
• 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 P0711
• No DTC P0117, P0118, P0722 or P0723.
• DTC P0711 has not passed in the current ignition cycle.
• The engine run time is greater than 5 seconds.
• The transmission fluid temperature is -39 – 149°C.
• For conditions 1 and 2 in Conditions for Setting the DTC, the engine coolant temperature is greater than 70°C and
has changed by at least 50°C since start-up.
• For conditions 1 and 2 in Conditions for Setting the DTC, the TCC slip speed is 120 r.p.m. or greater for
600 seconds (10 minutes) cumulatively.
DTC P0712
The engine run time is greater than 5 seconds.
DTC P0713
• No DTCs P0722, P0723.
• The output shaft speed is greater than 200 r.p.m. for 200 seconds (3 minutes and 20 seconds) cumulative.
• The TCC slip speed is greater than 120 r.p.m. for 200 seconds (3 minutes and 20 seconds) cumulative.
DTC P0711
One of the following conditions occurs:
Condition 1
• The transmission fluid temperature at start-up is -40 – 21°C.
• The vehicle speed is greater than 8 km/h for 900 seconds (15 minutes) cumulatively.
• The transmission fluid temperature has not changed by more than 2°C since start-up for 100 seconds (1 minute
and 40 seconds).
Condition 2
• The transmission fluid temperature at start-up is 129 – 150°C.
• The vehicle speed is greater than 8 km/h for 600 seconds (10 minutes) cumulatively.
• The transmission fluid temperature has not changed by more than 2°C since start-up for 100 seconds (1 minute
and 40 seconds).
Condition 3
The transmission fluid temperature has changed by 20°C or greater within 250 milliseconds and it has done this 14 times
within 7 seconds.
DTC P0712
The TCM detects a transmission fluid temperature of 150°C or more for 2 seconds.
DTC P0713
The TCM detects a transmission fluid temperature of -39°C or less for 25 seconds.

• The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions.
• The TCM calculates a default transmission fluid temperature based on engine coolant temperature, intake air
temperature and engine run time.
• The TCM stores the DTC in TCM history.

• The TCM clears the DTC from TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a non-emission-
• The TCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the DTC passes.
Diagnostic Aids
• Tech 2 displays the transmission fluid temperature in degrees. After the transmission is operating, the fluid
temperature should rise steadily to a normal operating temperature, then stabilise.
• Verify the customer's driving habits, trailer towing, etc. Trailer towing should occur in D3.

4.15 DTC P0722 – Vehicle Speed Sensor

Circuit Low Voltage
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.

• No DTCs P0723, P1810, P1815 or P1816.
• Ignition voltage is 8 – 18 V.
• TFT is -40°C – 150°C.

• The engine torque is 108 – 882 Nm.

The transmission output shaft speed is less than 50 r.p.m. for 3 seconds.

• The TCM illuminates the MIL during the second consecutive trip in which the Conditions for Setting the DTC are
met.
• The TCM commands maximum line pressure.
• 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 ECM turns off the MIL after the sixth consecutive drive trip in which the TCM does not send a MIL illumination
request.
• The TCM clears the DTC from TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without an emission related
• The TCM cancels the default actions when the ignition is off long enough to power down the TCM.

4.18 DTC P0741 – Torque Converter Clutch

System – Stuck Off
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.

• 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

4.27 DTC P0961 – Line Pressure Control

Solenoid System Performance
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.

• The engine is running.

The PC solenoid valve duty cycle reaches its high limit, approximately 95 percent, or low limit, approximately 2 percent.


Diagnostic Aids
DTC P0961 may set under low voltage conditions caused by high electrical system demands.

Transmission Fluid Pressure Position
Switch
DTC Description
• DTC P1810 Transmission Fluid Pressure (TFP) Position Switch Circuit.
• DTC P1815 Transmission Fluid Pressure (TFP) Valve Position Switch – Start in Wrong Range.
• DTC P1816 Transmission Fluid Pressure (TFP) Valve Position Switch Indicates Park/Neutral (P/N) with Drive Ratio.
Circuit Description
The automatic transmission fluid pressure (TFP) manual valve position switch consists of five pressure switches
(two normally-closed and three normally-open) and a transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor combined into one unit.
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
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.

• park/neutral indicated with a 1st gear ratio,
• park/neutral indicated with a 2nd gear ratio,
• park/neutral indicated with a 3rd gear ratio, or
• park/neutral indicated with a 4th gear ratio.


• The TCM commands 4th gear.
• The TCM stores the DTC in TCM history during the second consecutive trip in which the conditions for setting the
DTC are met.

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
2.1 Transmission Fluid

When adding or changing the transmission fluid, use only the recommended automatic transmission fluid, refer to
0B Maintenance and Lubrication.
For the automatic transmission fluid diagnosis, refer to 7C3 Automatic Transmission – 4L60E – Hydraulic and
Transmission Fluid Colour

New transmission fluid is red in colour due to a dye that is added to the fluid so it can be distinguished from other oils and
lubricants. The red dye is not permanent and as such, is not an indicator of the quality of the fluid.
As the vehicle is driven the transmission fluid will quickly look darker in colour and appear to be a light brown. A dark
brown colour with a distinctively burnt odour may indicate fluid deterioration and the need for fluid replacement.
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.
Transmission Fluid Level
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.
If the transmission is not at normal operating

temperature and the correct procedure is not
followed, the result could be a false reading of
the fluid level on the transmission fluid
indicator.
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:
• in high ambient temperatures above 32° C,
• at sustained high speeds,
• in heavy stop / start city traffic during hot weather, or
• towing.
3 Park the vehicle on level ground.
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.
6 Lift the locking lever (1) on the transmission fluid

indicator, then remove the indicator from the filler
tube (2) and check the fluid colour, condition and level.
Do not overfill the transmission. Overfilling

can cause aeration resulting in fluid loss,
shift complaints and possible damage to the
transmission.
7 If the transmission fluid level is low, add only enough

of the recommended fluid until its level shows onto the
crosshatch hot area (3) of the fluid indicator.
Figure 7C4 – 1
2.2 Reverse Flush and Flow Rate Test

It is essential to perform a reverse flush and oil cooler flow rate test after any of the following:
• the transmission is repaired or replaced,
• fluid contamination is suspected, or
• whenever the oil pump and/or torque converter is replaced.
NOTE
The reverse flush must be completed prior to
conducting a flow rate test.
Reverse Flush
1 Disconnect both cooler hose/line assemblies at the transmission and at the radiator cooler, refer to
3.17 Transmission Cooler Line/Hose Assemblies.
2 Check the cooler hose/line to radiator cooler fittings for damage, replace as required.
To avoid personal injury, wear safety glasses

when using compressed air.
3 Carefully check the radiator cooler lower fitting to see if any foreign material is evident at this point. If foreign
material is found, remove it with a suitable tool and/or compressed air at a reduced pressure of approximately
345 kPa blown in the reverse direction through the cooler.
4 Using compressed air at a reduced pressure of approximately 345 kPa blown in a reverse direction, clean the
cooler hose/line assemblies.
5 Reconnect the cooler outlet line to the transmission and both cooler hose/line assemblies to the radiator cooler
fittings, refer to 3.17 Transmission Cooler Line/Hose Assemblies.
NOTE
Do not reconnect the cooler inlet line at the
transmission end. This line needs to be left
disconnected to perform the flow rate test.
6 Perform the flow rate test, refer to Flow Rate Test in this Section.
NOTE
This will also flush the cooler hose/line
assemblies and cooler with transmission fluid.
7 If the flow rate is satisfactory, reconnect the cooler inlet line to the transmission, refer to
3.17 Transmission Cooler Line/Hose Assemblies.
8 Lower the vehicle, check and top up the transmission fluid to the correct level as required, refer to
2.1 Transmission Fluid.
Flow Rate Test
Do not run the engine any longer than

absolutely necessary, as a fluid level too low
can cause aeration and foaming.
1 Ensure the transmission fluid is at the recommended level or slightly above, refer to 2.1 Transmission Fluid.
2 Disconnect the cooler inlet line at the transmission quick-connect fitting, refer to 3.17 Transmission Cooler
Line/Hose Assemblies.
3 Place a suitable size container underneath the disconnected cooler inlet line.
4 With the selector lever in the P position, start the engine and observe the fluid flow into the container after all the air
bubbles have ceased and a steady flow is evident. Measure the flow rate over 20 seconds and ensure it is within
the specification.
Transmission fluid flow rate specification per 20 Seconds:
Temperature:
Ambient............................................................ 0.7 Litres
86° – 93° C ...................................................... 1.2 Litres
5 If the flow rate is less than the specification, the cause of the low flow rate must be located and rectified.
Possible cause could include:
• restricted cooler within the radiator tank,
• kinked or damaged transmission cooler hose/line assemblies, or
• internal transmission fault such as a faulty pump.
6 Reinstall the cooler inlet line to the transmission quick-connect fitting, refer to 3.17 Transmission Cooler
Line/Hose Assemblies.
3 Service Operations
3.1 Fluid Change and Filter Replacement
To avoid personal injury take note of the

following:
• Avoid accidental hot oil spillage by
performing fluid change only when the
transmission fluid is cold.
• Wear safety glasses and gloves when
using compressed air and cleaning fluids.
Remove
1 Raise the vehicle and support in a safe manner, refer to 0A General Information.
2 Clean all dirt from around the oil pan and the transmission case.
3 Place a suitable sized drain tray under the

transmission.
4 Hold the oil pan (1) in place and remove the oil pan
bolts (2) from the front and both sides.
NOTE
Leave the three rear oil pan bolts in place.
5 Loosen the three rear oil pan bolts by about 4 turns

each. While still supporting the oil pan, lightly tap the
sides with a rubber hammer to break the gasket (3)
seal.
6 Lower the front of the oil pan and drain the fluid into a
suitable container.
7 Remove the three remaining rear bolts and the oil pan
from the transmission.
8 Remove the oil pan gasket and discard.

Figure 7C4 – 2
9 Remove the oil filter (1) by pulling down while twisting

the filter and remove it from the transmission.
10 Open the filter by prising the metal crimping away from

the top of the filter and pull it apart.
11 Inspect the filter material for particles that may indicate

evidence of a potential transmission problem.
Examples of the type of material are:
• clutch friction material,
• bronze slivers, indicating bush wear and
• steel particles.
Figure 7C4 – 3
Take care not to scratch the oil pump bore,

as fluid leakage could occur from this point
or the pump may suck in air, causing the
fluid to aerate.
12 Using suitable circlip pliers (1) or a two legged puller

and slide hammer, remove the oil filter seal (2) taking
care not to scratch the oil pump bore (3) during the
process. Discard the seal.
Figure 7C4 – 4
