Dennis Madden Chief Executive Ofcer Congratulations on attending ATRA’s 2009 Technical Seminar! These days, many shops are devoting more of their time to learning marketing and management techniques; concepts and practices designed to help shops bring more customers in the door. That’s important — we can’t stay in business without customers. But bringing ’em in the door is only half the job: It doesn’t mean a thing unless you have the skills and training to get ’em back out again. That’s what the ATRA Technical Seminar program is all about: It’s designed to provide you with the latest information and training, to help you x today’s transmission problems. So you can get ’em out the door again, with their transmissions working like new. Because that’s what’ll keep ’em coming back… again and again. So, on behalf of the ATRA staff and the ATRA Chapters that have worked so hard to put this program together, I’d like to welcome you, and than k you for doing your part to keep our industry strong. We hope you have a wonderful day, and a terric learning experience.

4T65E Sprocket Sprocket Suppor Supportt Some technicians have inquired regarding the nish on the inside diameter of the driven sprocket support (P/N 24209098). It appears that the cross h atch is rough and concerns have been raised regarding the life expectancy for the input housing seals. GM Powertrain engineering has stated that the cross hatch seen in the picture below is normal and should not raise durability concerns for the seals. In addition many technicians have inquired regarding the proper position for the 4th clutch piston in the driven sprocket support housing. Engineering had the vendor for the piston stamp a “V” mark in the piston so it could be properly oriented in the housing. The piston should be placed in the housing as shown.

4T80E TCC Buzz Noise Some Cadillac DTS (K Body) customers may comment that they hear a TICK or BUZZ type noise coming from the dash area. Generally this noise will be present when TCC is applied and will diminish or disappear completely when TCC is released. Use your scan tool to verify that the noise is present when TCC is applied. The cause of the noise is the TCC solenoid pressure pulsations that are being transmitted into the passenger compartment via the shifter cable. The pressure pulsations are considered NORMAL. The best way quiet the noise is to install a cable dampener on the shift cable. The cable dampener is sold under part number 20778626. IMPORTANT: Install damper onto the shifter cable n ext to the adjuster if possible. Make certain the dampener does not come into contact with the body, shifter, or any other vehicle components or it will be unable to dampen the noise successfully.

6T40/45E No and/or Hard Shifts Some customers with Z body (Malibu, G6, Aura) 6T40 applications may experience any or all of the following conditions: • SES light on • Engine may/may not start • Transmission may exhibit hard shifts • Transmission may not shift • I/P cluster may not operate or may operate intermittently • Scan tool may or may not be able to communicate with the Transmission Control Module • DTC’s may be set, these may include any or all of the following in any combination. P150C, U0073, U0100, U0100-7F, U0100-75, U0101, U2106, C0561 (Communication Error DTC’s) or P0700 (Transmission DTC set) • You may nd that in addition to communication problems, the TEHCM (TCM) may not function correctly or it may fail to function at all. Diagnosis will lead you replace the TEHCM (TCM) Several items may cause the concern including: • The high speed LAN circuits may be shorted to ground • The cooling fan may be developing a voltage spike

6T40/45E No and/or Hard Shifts (continued) Inspect the ECM/PCM harness (Circuits 2500,2501,5060) for damage. Typically the harness is rubbing at the strut tower area. Repair the harness and tie the harness back so it can no longer rub. If the TEHCM (TCM) is not functioning it may have been damaged by a voltage spike from the engine cooling fan. Replace the TEHCM (TCM). The updated GM TEHCM (TCM) utilizes a de-spiking circuit to prevent damage to the controller.

4L60E Erratic TCC Surge, Cycling 2006-07 S/T truck applications (Rainier, Colorado, Trailblazer, Canyon, Envoy, H3, or 9.7X) may experience a condition where the engine tends to surge while at cruising speeds with the throttle held steady. This condition may be worse on rough roads. Upon inspection the technician will typically be unable to nd a cause for the condition. No DTC’s will be set and the condition may be difcult to duplicate. If the technician is able to duplicate the concern, he/she should monitor the TCC command status and the engine misre counters. He/She will notice the misre counters when the TCC is being commanded OFF. If this condition is present a ttempt to isolate the cause of the misre. If the cause cannot be isolated, an updated PCM program is available to address the concern. The updated program changes the misre diagnostic programming.
NOTE: Remember ALL GM vehicles will inhibit TCC when a MISFIRE is PRESENT. So if the engine has tune-up concerns, the TCC WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY. This applies to 1996-current model vehicles.

5L50/6L50 Shift to Park Message Some 2004 and later Cadillac XLR and XLR-V models may display a “Shift to Park” message on the Driver Information Center (DIC) even though the vehicle is actually in the park position. In addition the auto door lock feature may not function and the ignition key may not move all the way to the off position. Several items can cause this concern including: • Shifter Cable Adjustment: The cable should be adjusted with the shifter in the park position. Verify the shifter is in park, and that the parking pawl is engaged. Release the cable adjuster lock and allow the cable to relax. Re-seat the cable adjuster lock. •
Secondary Park Switch: Verify the transmission IMS operation with your scan tool. If the IMS is operating correctly inspect the secondary park switch. The secondary park switch is located on the right side of the shifter and is an input to the BCM so you will need to monitor BCM data to check the operation of the switch.

6L50 TCC Noise and/or Vibration Some customers may notice a boom, vibration, or noise when TCC is applied in Cadillac DTS application. The cause of the concern is engine ring pulses that are being transmitted through the drivetrain. To correct the condition an updated calibration has been released that raises the TCC apply speed approximately 10 mph.
NOTE: If the updated calibration is installed, the customer will notice a decrease in the vehicle fuel economy.

6L80 No Forward Movement 1-2-3-4/3-5-R Clutch Housing The clutch housing was updated to address a NO Forward condition. This concern could happen without notice. Upon inspection, the technician will notice the snap ring has popped out of the housing. To address the concern the housing was updated. In addition, the 3-5R waved plate and the 1-2-3-4 wave plate were updated. The 3-5 R wave plate changed from 12-18 teeth. The 1-2-3-4 wave plate changed from 9-18 teeth This update was implemented for the mid 2007 model year as an interim 07 change. Service for the updated housing require that clutch travel be checked. • 3-5-R wave plate # 24239828 • 1-2-3-4 wave plate # 24239615 • Selective snap rings #2440194 – 24240201 • Clutch housing kit, Housing and selective snap rings # 24241232 • The updated housing, wave plates and snap rings will back service previous model applications.

6L80 Spacer Plate and Valve Body Spring Updates The spacer plate has undergone multiple changes for this application. The 1st major change occurred in mid 2007 as a 2007 interim change. The spacer plate added an exhaust and a parallel path for a lube circuit bleed. The plate can be interchanged between the 6L50/80/90 applications. The part number used at the time was 24246916. Additional updates were performed to the plate as a mid 2008, interim 2008 change. These changes were designed to address the P0751 DTC that commonly sets. In addition to the plate upgrade, a 2009 update occurred in July 08 to the lower valve body springs as the second part of the update to address the P0751. The spring load on the clutch select valves #2 and #3 were lowered. This allowed the select valves to move at a lower pressure reducing the tendency of the P0751 to set. The clutch select valves springs are not available individually. The updated valve body and spacer plates will back service previous model year applications if used together. Updated part number: • Spacer plate #24245720 • Lower valve body with spring updates # 24250384

When in rst gear engine braking, if rst gear ratio is not achieved in a predetermined period of time and the closest gear ratio detected is fourth, the TCM commands second gear and if second gear ratio is attained this indicates a stuck OFF SS valve 1 and the DTC P0751 will set. Several items may cause the P0751 to set. To diagnose the P0751 proceed a s follows: • Inspect the pan for excessive debris • Inspect the lter for evidence of cracks or holes in the seams and seal area where air may leak in • Remove the valve body and inspect the separator plate for debris and for proper check ball operation. Inspect the separator plate gasket for evidence of cross leaks • Inspect the clutch select valve 2 bore plug in the valve body for proper size (11.502mm +/- .004 mm) • Inspect the CBR1/C456 regulator valve for freedom of movement • Check the TEHCM solenoid operation using the DT47825 as outlined in previous ATRA seminars. • Check to see if an updated calibration is available to address the P0751 for your application. As outlined in previous ATRA seminars updated calibrations are available for 2006-07 applications that exhibit this concern • Install the updated spacer plate designed to address this concern.

LCT 1000 Fluid Leaks from the Vent Fluid leaks from the transmission vent when the vehicle is allowed to set overnight or for extended periods of time. This condition may get worse if the engine is allowed to idle for extended periods of time before being driven. This condition may also be more pronounced at ambient temperatures lower than 0°F (-18°C). This concern was prevalent on 2001-2003 applications. Lube oil is not draining back into the sump properly. This leads to pressure build up in the case and pump. A new vented dipstick has been released to address this concern. GM part #15115171 should be used.
This notch was added to help prevent pressure build up.

LCT 1000 P0872, P1711 Pressure Switch #3 Circuit Some LCT 1000 applications may set a DTC P0872 and/or P1711. In many instances the DTC’s may not have been set prior to transmission repair. To set a P0872 or a P1711 the following must occur P0872 • Engine speed greater than 200 but less than 7500 RPM • Shift solenoid “E” is commanded into the “OFF” or un-stroked position while pressure switch E status remains ON for 2-20 seconds. The amount of time required to set the DTC depends on the transmission uid temperature. At 0°C the timer is set at 2 seconds while the timer will increment to 20 seconds at -40°C. P1711 (This DTC was not used on later model applications) • Shift solenoid “E” is commanded from the “ON” position to the “OFF” position. • Pressure switch E does not reect the change in solenoid/shift valve position • The amount of time required to set the DTC depends on the transmission uid temperature. At 0°C the timer is set at 2 seconds while the timer will increment to 10.5 seconds at -40°C. Several items can cause the DTC’s to set they include: • A crack in the 4WD adapter housing. This allows sand and debris to enter the transmission leading to the stuck shift valve • Dirt or sand enters the transmission during service or overhaul • Faulty pressure switch manifold or wiring • Faulty shift solenoid “E” • Shift valve bore or shift valve are worn or stuck (Check C and E shift valves/bores). Inspect C shift valve for cross leaks into E shift valve circuit. • Impoper Valve Body torqing

LCT 1000 P0872, P1711 (continued) Pressure Switch #3 Circuit (continued) Repair: • Replace the 4WD adapter housing if cracked. Diagnosis and repair for this concern was covered in earlier ATRA seminars • Replace the uid/lters and ush the cooler lines • With your scan tool, monitor the pressure switch manifold (TFP) switch status. With the key ON engine OFF TFP switches “C,D, and E” should read OFF. Start the engine TFP switches “C, D and E” should read ON. If the switches read as indicated the TFP and its wiring are functioning properly. Operate the vehicle in 1st gear, steady state, TFP switch “C” should read OFF and TFP switch “D” should read ON. TFP switch “E” should change to OFF. If it does not change when steady state 1st gear is achieved inspect shift valve E for being stuck, shift solenoid E for proper operation and shift valve C for a cross leak into shift valve E condition.

LCT 1000 Shift Concerns, Erratic Operation Some LCT 1000 and 2000 series may experience problems with mainline pressure not operating as designed. As covered in the 2005 ATRA seminar a modulated main line solenoid (Solenoid G) was added to the transmission for the 2004 model year. Some transmissions may experience a condition that can cause solenoid G function improperly or not to function at all, without setting a DTC. This may result in shift feel concerns. The problem may vary in intensity based on: • System Voltage • Temperature • TCM build variations • Solenoid build variations Inspect the TCM calibration level. Calibrations that were created between March 2006 and September 2007 ( CC level 44 or 48) could indicate that solenoid G is being commanded to respond correctly to load, but in fa ct the main line pressure is not following the command. This may indicate a possible problem with the calibration software. It has been found that the TCM may lack the proper “Pull In” solenoid driver current to properly operate solenoid G. Verify the base line pressure as well as pressure boost. Specications: • G solenoid On = 85 to 105 psi (590 – 720 kpa) • G solenoid Off = 105 to 220 psi (721 – 1480 kpa)
If the line pressure does not vary (Locked High) with No DTC’s set, inspect the calibration level. Recalibrate the TCM as necessary. Install a new TCM if you are unable to repair the fxed high line pressure concern with a calibration update.

LCT 1000 Multiple DTC’s, Erratic Operation, Bad TCM The LCT 1000 TCM may exhibit various DTC’s and/or operational symptoms (neutral only, shifting, shift feel, erratic operation). This may include non transmission symptoms such as speedometer operation that is intermittent, Drivability concerns and/or Communication concerns. As discussed in several ATRA seminars in the past, proper ground for the TCM is imperative. In this instance you may diagnose the cause of the concern as a faulty TCM. Before replacing ANY TCM always clean and secu re the controller grounds. Bad grounds on the Allison application can cause controller circuit board fa ilure. Solder joint failure on the circuit board have been traced back to a faulty ground on many TCM’s returned for warranty or as cores.

LCT 1000 Neutrals while Driving, No Reverse, P0877, P2723 (continued) The root cause of this problem may be the PCS #1 feed orice in the spacer plate may be plugged. This has been noted when aftermarket spin on lters have been used. Some lters are wrapped in plastic shrink wrap. When the lters are wrapped by the equipment at the manufacture, the machine melts the ends of the wrap together. In some cases pieces of plastic will drop into the lter. Another cause for this concern is the technician unwrapping the lter. In many cases the technician will poke his/her nger through the plastic and into the hole in the lter. Pieces of plastic can drop into the lter which may lead to the concern. If you suspect this may be the cause for your concern, inspect the spacer plate orices for contamination. To avoid this concern consider using a lter that is not wrapped in plastic or check for plastic remnants prior to installing a new lter. In addition, avoid poking holes in the plastic over the open end of the lter. Allison lter # 29539579

LCT 1000 P0658, P2670, Transmission Stuck in Neutral, No Reverse Some LCT 1000 applications may set a P0658 and/or a P2670 DTC. The TCM provides voltage to the shift solenoids via a pair of High Side Drivers (HSD) The HSD has current limiting protection as well a diagnostic routine which is used to set the following DTC’s, P0658, P0659 (HSD1), and P2670, P2672 (HSD2). HSD2 controls the voltage for SS1, SS2 and SS3. HSD1 controls the voltage for the modulated main solenoid (G solenoid) PCS1 and the TCC solenoid. P0658 will set if: • The High Side Driver #1 (HSD1) is commanded ON • Battery Voltage is between 9-18 volts • The engine is running • The TCM detects that the HSD1 voltage is LESS than 6 volts for more than 75 ms (Indicates a short to Ground) If a P0658 sets the TCM will: • Command the transmission to Neutral or 3rd gear after the shift selector is moved and other conditions are present • Inhibit TCC • Illuminate the MIL P2670 will set if: • The High Side Driver #2 (HSD2) is commanded ON • Battery Voltage is between 9-18 volts • The engine is running • The TCM detects that the HSD2 voltage is LESS than 6 volts for more than 75 ms (Indicates a short to Ground) If a P2670 is set the TCM will: • Command the transmission to neutral after the shift selector is moved and other conditions are present • Inhibit modulated main operation • Freeze adapts • Inhibit TCC • Illuminate the MIL

LCT 1000 P0658, P2670, Transmission Stuck in Neutral, No Reverse (continued) The most common cause of these DTC’s is metal contamination. One source of the contamination is the Torrington bearing (T3 bearing ) on the P1 sun gear. The bearing fails due to sun gear machining issues leading to metal contamination. The contamination may bridge the solenoid terminal to ground on the solenoid frame leading to the DTC. Inspect the solenoid electrical terminals for metal particulate. If you nd metal, locate the source of the contamination. In addition you should consider updating the internal wiring harness. The updated harness has particulate dams built into the solenoid connectors to prevent bridging concerns f rom happening. The updated harness part number remained the same as the previous harness.

6F50 O/D Piston Return Snap Ring Removal We used parts from around the shop to take the place of the special tools needed to disassemble and reassemble the 6F50N. To remove the retaining snap ring from the OD clutch piston return spring assembly, you’ll need some parts from other transmissions: • an A4LD/5R55E rear ring gear (for the low/reverse planet) • a worn out OD clutch hub/shaft from a 4T60E • a large deep socket • a suitable press. Use a cutting wheel to cut large slots out of the 4th clutch hub/shaft. Place the ring gear on the clutch retainer and slide the 4th clutch hub down onto the ring gear. Use the deep socket as an extension of the hub to be pressed down to remove the ring.

4R70W/4R75E Interchange Information (continued) Center Support To make room for the turbine speed sensor, the 4R70E/75E center support has an extra notch cut out. If you install a 4R70W support in a 4R70E/75E case, the turbine speed sensor will not install all the way into the case. If you are in a pinch, grinding a notch into the support to make room for the sensor will not pose a problem.

4R70W/4R75E Interchange Information (continued) Intermediate Mechanical Diode Sprag In 2007, Ford introduced a new design mechanical diode. They increased the number of ratchet teeth in the diode which should increase holding strength. At the time of printing this manual, there have been no reports of premature failure. The new diode has a snap ring that holds the element retainer in place instead of the earlier pressed design. Height dimensions have changed slightly where the snap ring rides on the reverse input/OD drum. The new design diode supersedes the previous design, and when used on any diode-style drum, will increase the clearance between the inner race and the snap ring by about 0.020", this is a normal clearance by design. An aftermarket-designed spiral snap ring should be used in place of the stock snap ring to prevent snap ring failure.

4R70W/4R75E Interchange Information (continued) Stator Support The stator supports are identical in hydraulic design but there is an important difference in the forward sealing ring lands. The 4R70E/75E uses a plastic ring that is much thinner than the 4R70W cast iron design. The outer dimensions of the two rings are identical so as long as the correct rings are used, the stator supports can be interchanged. The other difference is the forward clutch feed hole. Ford changed the machining process for the forward clutch apply hole and turned it into a slot instead of a round hole. This is strictly cosmetic and will have no effect on forward clutch apply if interchanged.

4R70W/4R75E Interchange Information (continued) Planetary The planetary gear set is the same ratio and dimensions between the two units. The only difference is how the rear cover is attached. The 4R70E/75E uses a welded design as the older versions use rivets to connect the bottom cover to the top portion of the gear set. That area has never had a real issue and the chan ge is due to an easier manufacturing process. Interchange between years will not pose a problem.

4R70W/4R75E Interchange Information (continued) Sun Shell and Forward Sun Gear 2004 & up sun shells are designed with added strength by utilizing a two piece riveted or a one piece design in the later applications. On both designs, the metal is thicker along the chamfer at the base of the gear which will reduce cracking. Height dimensions from the bottom of the sun gear to the area where the bearing rides has been reduced by .030” to make room for the thicker two piece bearing. The sun shell, bearing, and forward sun gear must be changed as a set if changing over to a 4R70W or the end play will be incorrect. Ford sells this complete service kit under part # 4L3Z-7D234-AA.

4R70W/4R75E Interchange Information (continued) Sun Shell and Forward Sun Gear (continued) The single most important change with the 4R70E/75E sun shell is something you can not see with the naked eye, but will prevent the transmission from leaving your shop. That is the 4R70E/75E sun shell is non-magnetic. In order for the input speed sensor that the 4R70E/75E’s now incorporate to work, the sun shell must be non magnetic so that the sensor can pick up the signal from the stamping on the forward drum. Failure to use a non magnetic sun shell will result in harsh or no shifting with possible ratio and input speed sensor codes.

4R70W/4R75E Interchange Information (continued) Pump Body The pump bodies are identical except for the intermediate piston design. The 4R70E/75E uses a bonded rubber piston that is larger in size and will produce more holding power than the aluminum piston design. A wave style piston return spring in 04-05 models and a one piece in the 06 and up models is utilized on the molded style and ca nnot retrot back. The wave style spring requires a seat that sits in the case so that the wave spring does not eat into the aluminum. The later one piece style has a notch that indexes at 12 o’clock in the case and is placed with the springs facing up towards you. The two different designed pumps can be interchanged from one another without any issues, but as a complete set. You cannot interchange intermediate pistons or springs with one another. If you choose to use a 4R75E pump in place of the early 4R70W, make sure to install the wave spring retainer into the early case or damage to the case will occur. If using the 06-up one piece design spring, no retainer is needed.

4R70W/4R75E Interchange Information (continued) Ring Gear A new designed output speed sensor was incorporated for the 2004 model year. The new sensor uses the exciter ring from the 24 extended parking pawl lugs as where the old sensor uses six (6) holes that are machined around the ring gear. Mismatching an early ring gear in a late transmission will result in a 75% reduction in the output speed sensor signal and will not let the trans shift out of rst gear. Using a late ring gear in an early transmission will produce an output speed signal 400% faster and shift the transmission into fourth gear by the time you hit 10 MPH. No interchange possible.

4R70W/4R75E Interchange Information (continued) Output Speed Sensor The Output Speed Sensor changed from the oval connector to the square in 2001. The length is the same as the earlier version up to 2004 when the ring gear changed. Installing the shorter late sensor in 01-03 models could create a weak signal and intermittent OSS codes. Installing the early sensor in an 04 and up will cause damage to the sensor.

Torqshift Low/Reverse Planetary Gear Set Interchange Starting in late 2008 Ford introduced a new planetary gear set. This planet has the Low/ Reverse sprag and the Low/Reverse clutches built onto the planet assembly. On late model units 2008 and up, if the Low/Reverse clutches are burnt or worn out the whole planet assembly must be replaced. The planet can be purchased from the dealer as an assembly. The alternative is to use the earlier Low/Reverse clutches and steels, Planetary, and Sprag assembly. The early Low/Reverse clutch pack only has a ve (5) clutch pack stack-up. You must use six (6) clutch bers and six (6) steels to complete the interchange.

68RFE Introduction The 68RFE offers full electronic control of all automatic up and downshifts.
Features: - Real-time adaptive closed-loop shift and pressure control - Electronic shift and torque converter clutch controls (help protect the transmission from damage due to high temperatures, which can occur under severe operating conditions). By altering shift schedules, line pressure, and converter clutch control, these controls reduce heat generation and increase transmission cooling. To help reduce parasitic losses, the transmissions includes a dual-stage transmission uid pump with electronic output pressure control. Under most driving conditions, pump output capacity greatly exceeds that which is needed to keep the clutches applied. The 68RFE pump-pressure control system monitors input torque and adjusts the pump pressure accordingly. The primary stage of the pump works continuously; the second stage is bypassed when demand is low. The control system also monitors input and output speed and, clutch slip is observed, the pressure control solenoid duty cycle is varied, increasing pressure in proportion to demand. A high-travel torque converter damper assembly allows earlier torque converter clutch engagement to reduce slippage. Needle-type thrust bearings reduce internal friction. The 68RFE is packaged in a one-piece die-cast aluminum case. To reduce NVH, the case has high lateral, vertical and torsional stiffness. Dual lters protect the pump and other components. A cooler return lter is added to the main sump lter. Independent lubrication and cooler circuits assure ample pressure for n ormal transmission operation even if the cooler is obstructed or the uid cannot ow due to extremely low temperatures. The hydraulic control system design (without electronic assist) provides the transmission with PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, and FOURTH gears, based solely on driver shift lever selection. This design allows the vehicle to be driven (in “limp-in” mode) in the event of a electronic control system failure, or a situation that the Transmission Control Module (TCM) recognizes as potentially damaging to the transmission.

68RFE Clutch Operation The 68RFE has a design change that allowed for the full time 6 speed as well as the increase in torque ratios. The 4C on the 45/545RFE held an annulus as the planet was driven by a sun gear. On the 68RFE the 4C holds a sun gear causing the annulus to be driven by the planetary.
* When output speed is greater than 150 rpm the L/R clutch is released and the ORC is the holding element before the 1-2 shift. ** Failsafe is 3rd gear on the 45/545RFE and 4th gear on the 68RFE (Vehicles that have ERS (Electronic Range Select) will not have a manual low “2nd” gear while in failsafe).

68RFE Oil Level When servicing and/or testing for proper oil level it is important to note that the ll is based off of oil temperature. Proper ll does req uire the use of a scan tool to verify actual transmission temperature.
To avoid overlling transmission after a uid change or overhaul, perform the following procedure: 1. Remove dipstick and insert clean funnel in transmission ll tube. 2. Add following initial quantity of Mopar® ATF +4 to transmission: a. If only uid and lter were changed, add 10 pints (5 quarts) of ATF +4 to transmission. b. If transmission was completely overhauled and the torque converter was replaced or drained, add 24 pints (12 quarts) of ATF +4 to transmission.

68RFE Mopar +4 The only recommended uid for the 68RFE is MOPAR +4 oil. There are many different blends of oil that claim +4 rating. The only way to assure that you are using +4 blend is to use MOPAR brand. Using a blend that is not recommended may result in shift concerns that can only be xed by using the proper oil.

68RFE Pressure Testing Ports Accurate tachometer and pressure test gauges are required. Test gauges must have a 300 psi range and is used at all locations where pressures exceed 100 psi.
Pressure Test Port Locations The torque converter clutch apply (3) and release (1) ports are located on the right side of the transmission case . There are two (2) methods of testing line pressure. The 1st method requires the use of a scan tool and adapter that allows you to monitor perceived pressure (scan data) vs. actual pressure (pressure gauge). The 2nd method (not available on all applications because of mounting issues) is the use of a special adapter oil pan that allows you to tap into each clutch pressure port located on the valve body.
Method #1 The scan tool can be used to read line pressure from the line pressure sensor. The second method is to install Line Pressure Adapter 8259 (3) into the transmission case and then install the pressure gauge and the original sensor (2) into the adapter. This will allow a comparison of the scan tool readings and the gauge reading to determine the accuracy of the line pressure sensor. The scan tool line pressure reading should match the gauge reading within ±10 psi.

Chrysler
95
68RFE Pressure Testing Ports (continued) Method #2 Another method of testing hydraulic line pressure involves removing the valve body pressure test ports and installing the parts of the valve body pressure tap adapter and one or more 300 psi pressure gauges (Miller Special Tool #8258-A and #C-3293SP).

Chrysler
68RFE Pressure Specifications With method #1 or #2 the proper procedure is as follows when testing: • • • •
Check the transmission uid level and condition (this condition can only be tested when the oil pan is removed). Check the shift cable adjustment. Raise the vehicle on a hoist, install a tachometer and the pressure gauge with adapter (s). Check line pressure while operating the transmission at 1500 engine rpm in Park, Reverse and Drive. Compare the scan tool line pressure reading with the desired line pressure and gauge reading. All three readings should agree. If the gauge reading does not match the scan tool reading, there is a line pressure sensor problem. If the scan tool reading does not match the desired line pressure, there is a pressure control problem (oil level, lter, pump regulator valve, PCS solenoid, etc.)
Actual line-pressure while in-gear will very based upon minimum learned line-pressure. Minimum line-pressure starts at 40 psi and learns up to the minimum pressure to hold the clutches in a applied state. © 2009 ATRA. All Rights Reserved.

68RFE Diagnostic Specifications NOTE: This vehicle uses an NGC4 Control Module (which only controls Transmission operation) and an Engine Control Module (ECM) that controls the Diesel engine. In these procedures, the NGC4 Control Module is referred to as the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
Perform the following before attempting any diagnostic procedures: 1. With the scan tool, check pinion factor (if equipped) for proper tire identication and program or reprogram if necessary. 2. Check the transmission uid level. If the uid level is low, locate and repair any leaks and ll the transmission to the proper level. Refer to the appropriate Service Information for procedures. Many transmission symptoms can be caused by a low uid level. 3. Check the battery. To avoid false diagnosis, testing should only be performed with the battery fully charged. 4. With the scan tool, read Engine (ECM) DTCs. If DTCs are present, refer to the Driveability Category and perform to the appropriate diagnostic procedure(s) before proceeding. 5. With the scan tool, read Transmission (PCM) DTCs. Record all Stored, Active, and Pending DTC information. Diagnose any Pending DTC a s a matured DTC. 6. With the scan tool, read and record the Event Data. Use this data to identify the conditions in which the DTC was set. 7. NOTE: DTC Event Data may exist even if no DTCs are stored. DTC Event Data is only erased by a Battery Disconnect, reash, or QuickLearn procedure. Clearing DTCs does NOT erase the DTC Event Data. Some DTCs require two “bad trips” before they are stored (and the MIL illuminates). The transmission may enter “limp-in” mode during the rst “bad trip,” but if the fault condition is not present after the vehicle is restarted, the pending DTC may be cleared without lighting the MIL. Nevertheless, the DTC Event Data for the pending DTC will remain stored and can still be retrieved with the scan tool. If the customer reports a “limp-in” event but no DTCs are present, check the DTC Event Data.

Performing a Battery Disconnect will clear all Event Data and reset all learned Transmission values to the default values, which may temporarily result in erratic shift schedules. With the scan tool, perform the Shift Lever Position Test. If the test fails with an error code, refer to the diagnostic procedure for P0706 Transmission Range Sensor Rationality. If the test fails without an error code, adjust the shift linkage in accordance with the Service Information.
10. For Gear Ratio Error DTCs or shift quality complaints, use the scan tool to view CVI Monitor data. Read and record the Clutch Volume Index information. 11. Use the wiring diagram as a guide. Inspect the wiring and connectors related to this circuit. Repair as necessary. 12. Refer to the When Monitored and Set Conditions for this DTC. DTCs can set at ignition on, at start up, after driving under specic conditions and after diagnostic monitors have been run. 13. Refer to applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) for controller software update information. Some conditions can be corrected by upgrading the Engine (ECM) or Transmission (PCM) controller software. 14. Refer to any Service Information Tune Ups or Technical Service Bulletins that apply.
Were there any repairs made that xed the vehicle? Yes - Testing complete. Perform 68RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. No - Refer to DTC Based Diagnostics and perform the application.

68RFE Drive Learn Procedures When a transmission is repaired and a Quick Learn procedure has been performed on the Transmission Control Module (TCM), the following Drive Learn procedure can be performed to ne tune any shifts which are particularly objectionable.
NOTE: It is not necessary to perform the complete Drive Learn procedure every time the TCM is Quick Learned. Perform only the portions which target the objectionable shift. Learn a Smooth 1st Neutral to Drive Shift Perform this procedure only if the complaint is for a delayed or harsh shift the rst time the transmission is put into gear after the vehicle is allowed to set with the engine not running for at least 10 minutes. Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the 1st N-D UD CVI.
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be between 80° - 110°F (27° - 43°C). 1.
Start the engine only when the engine and ignition have been off for at least ten (10) minutes.
2.
With the vehicle at a stop and the service brake applied, record the 1st N-D UD CVI while performing a Neutral to Drive shift. The 1st N-D UD CVI accounts for air entrapment in the UD clutch that may occur after the engine has been off for a period of time.
3.
Repeat Step #1 and Step #2 until the recorded 1st N-D UD CVI value stabilizes.
NOTE: It’s important that this procedure be performed when the transmission temperature is between 80° - 110°F (27° - 43°C). If this procedure takes too long to complete fully for the allowed transmission oil temperature, the vehicle may be returned to the customer with an explanation that the shift will improve daily during normal vehicle usage. The TCM also learns at higher oil temperatures, but these values (line pressure correction values) are not available for viewing on the scan tool.

68RFE Drive Learn Procedures (continued) Learn a Smooth Neutral to Drive Garage Shift Perform this procedure if the complaint is for a delayed or harsh shift when the transmission is put into gear after the vehicle has had its rst shift. Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the Norm N-D UD CVI.
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be between 80 110°F (27 - 43°C) to learn the UD CVI. Additional learning occurs at temperatures as low as 0°F and as high as 200°F. This procedure may be performed at any temperature that experiences poor shift quality. Although the UD CVI may not change, shift quality should improve. Learn a Smooth Neutral to Drive Garage Shift 1.
Start the vehicle engine and shift to drive.
2.
Move the vehicle forward to a speed of at least 16 km/h (10 MPH) and come to a stop. This ensures no air is present in the UD hydraulic circuit.
3.
Perform repeated N-D shifts at a stop while pausing in Neutral for at least 2-3 seconds and monitor Norm N-D UD CVI volume until the value stabilizes. The value will change during the N-D shift. This is normal since the UD value is different for the N-D shift then the normal value shown which is used for 4-3 coastdown and kickdowns. Perform repeated shifts in this temperature range until the Norm N-D UD CVI value stabilizes and the N-D shifts become smooth.
Learn the 1st 2-3 Shift After Restart or Shift Reverse Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the 1st 2-3 shift OD CVI. NOTE:
The transmission oil temperature must be above 80°F (27°C).
1.
With the vehicle engine running, select reverse gear for over 2 seconds.
2.
Shift the transmission to Drive and accelerate the vehicle from a stop at a steady 15 degree throttle opening and perform a 2-3 shift while noting the 1st 2-3 OD CVI.
3.
Repeat Step #1 and Step #2 until the 1st 2-3 upshift becomes smooth and the 1st 2-3 OD CVI stabilizes.

Accelerate the vehicle from a stop at a steady 15 degree throttle opening a nd perform multiple 1-2, 2-3, and 3-4 upshifts. The 2nd 2-3 shift following a restart or shift to reverse will be shown during the shift as a value between the 1st 2-3 OD CVI and the normal OD CVI. Updates to the normal OD CVI will occur after the 2nd shift into 3rd gear, following a restart or shift to reverse.
2.
Repeat Step #1 until the 2-3 and 3-4 shifts become smooth and the OD and 4C CVI become stable.
Learn a Smooth 4-3 Coastdown and Part Throttle 4-3 Kickdown Shift NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 110°F (43°C). Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the UD shift volume. 1.
At a vehicle speed between 64-97 km/h (40-60 MPH), perform repeated 4-3 kickdown shifts.
2.
Repeat Step #1 until the UD volume becomes somewhat stable and the shift becomes smooth.
Learn a Smooth 1-2 Upshift and 3-2 Kickdown Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the 2C shift volume. NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 110°F (43°C). 1.
With a vehicle speed below 48 km/h (30 MPH) and the transmission in 3rd gear, perform multiple 3-2 kickdowns.

68RFE Code Descriptions With computer strategy changing to allow for a full time six (6) speed, diagnostic codes also had to be added to allow for the different ratios. Typically when dealing with codes for ratio errors they start off with P0731 for a 1st gear ratio followed by P0732 for 2nd and so on. Because the P0736 was already established for “REVERSE” on the 45/545RFE the ratio code for 6th gear does n ot follow the rule of which gear that is having the ratio issues. The code for 6th gear ratio is P0729.

68RFE Power and Ground Circuits It all starts here. Transmission Control Output is a switched voltage that typically will be charging voltage while the motor is running. Transmission Control is a continous B+ used for a keep alive memory and is present at all times. Powertrain Control Module grounds must have no voltage present.
Note: As with any electronically controlled transmissions, it is very important that the charging system and the battery/s all be at their performance level and conditions. With Diesels (two batteries), both batteries need to be at the same surface voltages. If one is lower than the other this will cause the charging system to compensate for the battery that is undercharged. Remember, step one in any diagnosis after documenting and clearing trouble codes is to clean the batteries, even if they look clean and retest for codes.

68RFE Range Sensor Because of this being a electronically controlled transmission, the ran ge sensor inputs are very critical in order for the transmission module to function properly. When reading on scan data the “PID” names are C1-C2-C3-C4-C5. There are transition ranges so that the module knows the direction the driver is selecting while moving the shifter. These transitions are referred to as TMP 1-TMP 2-TMP 3. Remember that the manual valve only has three positions that change oil ow. This means that in order to control shift schedules this input is imperative.

68RFE Sensor Circuits Speed Sensors, Pressure Sensor, Temperature Sensor and OD Cancel-TOW/HAUL Essential to transmission operation is the use of sensors (inputs). There are two speed sensors (input and output) that measure rpm. These sensors register the speed of shift transitions and are used to determine the CVI (clutch volume index) values. In addition to these sensors there is; line pressure sensor (feeds a signal voltage inf orming the module what line pressure is doing). This is a feed back/closed loop for a command on line pressure given from the module), Temperature sensor (used so the module can control shift timing and feel through all the temperature ranges), OD cancel/Tow/haul switch that allows the module to know if the driver is towing and or requesting that OD is canceled.
Note: Remember when OD is canceled this is a 4 speed unit (5th and 6th gear are both OD ranges) © 2009 ATRA. All Rights Reserved.

68RFE Understanding Clutch Volume Index (CVI) CVI is the measurement of the physical amount of uid required to ll the clutch and stroke the piston. CVIs are in general updated when a clutch is applied. These measurements require the use of speed sensing devices (input and output speed sensors).
Note: 1 (one) CVI is equal to 1/64 of a cubic inch of transmission uid (64 CVIs would equal one square inch of oil). Gear Ratios are determined by monitoring change in speed rotations of input signals from the Input and Output speed sensors. By comparing the two inputs, the TCM determines not only which gear you are in but also the CVI monitor value. These values are based on how long it takes to complete a gear change.

68RFE Understanding Clutch Volume Index (CVI) (continued) Electronically, the upshifts are performed by timing the venting of the releasing clutch to the lling of the applying clutch. The releasing clutch must lose its holding capacity at the same time the applying clutch gains holding capacity. Proper CVI values are critical to properly perform upshifts.
Each accumulator has the holding value of 64 CVIs. If the measurement of oil passing through the valve passageways and applying the holding clutch element was an additional 64 CVIs that would give a value of 128 CVIs (Too High). The accumulator CVIs are not taken into consideration when the scan data is shown, only the clutch volume (applying oil) is which would be 64.

68RFE Shift Solenoid Control There are six (6) solenoids used to control hydraulic uid direction in this transmission and one (1) solenoid used to control (reduce) line pressure. The continuity of each solenoid circuit is periodically tested. Each inactive solenoid is turned on for a few milliseconds, then off. Each active solenoid is turned off for a few milliseconds, then on. This pulsing of voltage to the solenoid causes an inductive spike which can be sensed by the Transmission Control System. If this spike is out of range a solenoid code will set.

68RFE Shift Solenoid Control (continued) When hydraulic diagrams are required for shift concerns, use the 545RFE diagrams for your reference. 1st gear is the same, 2nd gear is the same, 2nd gear prime is now 3rd gear, 3rd gear will be now 4th, 4th will be used as 5th, and what was the 5th gear will now be 6th. Changes in how the 4th clutch holds when locking onto the clutch hub (originally holding a ring gear/annulus but with the 68RFE holding a sun gear) have allowed for the full time 6 speed. Oil ow through the shift solenoids and valve body has remained the same other than the computer strategy for gear command.

68RFE Oil Pump Valve Description Converter Clutch Switch Valve The converter clutch switch valve is used to control the direction of oil ow to the torque converter. When the converter clutch is released (CC switch valve downshifted), hydraulic pressure is supplied to the front (OFF) side of the torque converter clutch. When the converter clutch is applied (CC switch valve upshifted), regulated oil pressure is supplied to the back (ON) side of the converter clutch.
Converter Clutch Regulator Control Valve and Accumulator The converter clutch regulator valve is used to control the hydraulic pressure supplied to the back (ON) side of the torque converter clutch.
Torque Converter Limit Valve The torque converter limit valve serves to limit the maximum pressure supplied to the front side of the torque converter clutch.
Pressure Regulator Valve The pressure regulator valve controls the line pressure in the transmission. It is a balanced dump valve to maintain a xed line value. With the use of the Line Pressure Solenoid the pressure can be lowered to a working value.

68RFE Upper Valve Body The Solenoid Switch Valve (SSV) controls the direction of the transmission uid when the L/R-TCC solenoid is energized. The Solenoid Switch Valve controls line pressure from the LR-TCC solenoid. In 1st gear, the SSV will be in the downshifted position directing uid to the L/R clutch circuit. In all other gears, the solenoid switch valve will be in the upshifted position and directs uid into the torque converter clutch (TCC) circuit. When shifting into 1st gear, a special hydraulic sequence is performed to ensure SSV movement into the downshifted position. The L/R pressure switch is monitored to conrm SSV movement. If the movement is not conrmed (the L/R pressure switch does not close), 2nd gear is substituted for 1st. A DTC will be set after three unsuccessful attempts are made to get into 1st gear in one given key start.

68RFE Upper Valve Body (continued) Manual Valve The manual valve is a relay valve. The purpose of the manual valve is to direct uid to the correct circuit needed for a specic gear or driving range. The manual valve, as the name implies, is manually operated by the driver with a lever located on the top of the valve body. The valve is connected mechanically to the gearshift mechanism. The valve is held in each of its positions by a roller detent spring that engages the rooster comb of the TRS selector plate.
Low/Reverse Switch Valve The low/reverse switch valve allows the low/reverse clutch to be operated by either the LR/CC solenoid or the MS solenoid.

Noise and Vibration Noise and vibration concerns seem to be the number one complaint on today’s fourwheel drive systems. Some noises or vibrations in all-wheel, four-wheel, or part-time fourwheel drive systems may be normal operational characteristics for that particular system. The key to diagnosing noises and vibrations is to know what is normal operating characteristics and what is not. One of the easiest ways to determine if a noise or vibration is abnormal is to compare the customer’s vehicle with a similar vehicle. Similarities should include: Vehicle type (truck, extended cab or short bed, SUV mileage, and equipment). A comparison drive should make it easy to determine if the noise or vibration is abnormal or not. Some noise and vibration is normal, particularly in part-time four-wheel drive systems when vehicles are operated in fourwheel drive mode on high traction surfaces such as clean dry pavement. These noises or vibrations are usually a result of driveline loading, binding or wind-up and will increase as the vehicle turning radius decreases, this may be normal operation for your particular system. Each type of Four-Wheel drive system has its own particular operating characteristics.

4WD Identification All-Wheel Drive Systems: All-wheel drive systems offer the most transparent system operation. However, they do have some driving characteristics such as torque steer not found on two-wheel drive vehicles. Generally, all-wheel drive systems are quieter than similar four-wheel drive systems operated in 4HI, and certainly quieter than in 4LO ranges. On-demand all-wheel drive systems do not operate until wheel slip is detected and the driver may hear or feel the system engage and disengage at times, which is normal.
Part-Time Four-Wheel Drive Systems: With part-time four-wheel drive systems, engagement and disengagement of the system can be noticeable. These systems are designed to be used on loose traction surfaces such as snow, mud or loose dirt. Driveline binding may occur if operated on high traction surfaces such as hard pavement.
On-Demand Four-Wheel Drive Systems: Automatic or on-demand systems are more transparent than part-time systems. In “auto” mode, a clutch pack allows for the difference in axle speeds and operates like an all-wheel system.

All Systems “Crow Hopping” “Crow hopping” is a common concern on four-wheel drive systems and is due to driveline binding or wind-up. As the vehicle turns, the front and rear axles follow a different arc and turn at different speeds, this results in a bind and the only way to compensate for this is for the wheels to slip. Evidence of this condition can sometimes be found on the tire surfaces. One or more tires may show signs of small scratches or scufng, around the tire circumference, and are caused by the tire slipping across the road surface while turning.

AWD and 4WD Diagnostic Checks (continued) Garage Shift Check: In the service bay, listen for noises or vibrations as you compare each gear range. Be sure to operate the vehicle in all ranges with the four-wheel drive system engaged in both Hi range and LO range. Check for noises, vibrations, or gear grinding during engagement.
Road Test Check: Take the vehicle for a test drive, again operating the vehicle in all ranges including HI and LO ranges. Use the “auto” feature if your vehicle is so equipped. Drive in a straight line as well as in turns. Drive the vehicle with and without acceleration load. Try to detect driveline noise or vibrations. Try to recreate the same driving conditions as when the customer experiences the noise or vibration. Sometimes a bad road surface can cause unusual noises or vibrations. Remember, you can’t diagnose a problem if you can’t duplicate it.
Tire Check: Check all tires to make sure they are all the same size and brand. Different brands may have different circumferences, even though they are the same size. Look for uneven tire wear. Tires with different tire wear will roll at different rates and speeds.

AWD and 4WD Diagnostic Checks (continued) Tire Infation Check:
Always check your tire pressure. Proper and even tire pressure is very important especially with “on-demand” or “all-wheel” systems. A tire with low pressure will roll at a different rate than a tire at the proper pressure. As little as 2 pounds per square inch difference between tire pressures has been known to cause four-wheel drive system drivability concerns.

AWD and 4WD Diagnostic Checks (continued) Rolling Tire Circumference Check: Performing the rolling tire circumference check is the easiest and fastest way to tell if you’re having a tire circumference concern. Start by marking all the tires at the six o’clock position. Drive forward on a at surface in a straight line for a minimum of 10 complete tire revolutions. Bring one tire back to the six o’clock position. Check all tires to verify that all tires are within ½” of the six o’clock position. Tires that do not match will have to be replaced, usually as a complete set (all four tires).

153
AWD and 4WD Diagnostic Checks (continued) Tire Replacement Criteria: All four tires must be the same brand, size, and speed rating. If a tire must be replaced, the remaining tires must have at least 30% of the tread remaining. Any tires with less than 30% tread remaining, as compared with the new tire, will have to be replaced.
Default Operation: Most electronic transfer case systems have sophisticated software or built-in logic. The TCCM or GEM system will not allow four-wheel low range to engage unless all parameters are met, and will stay in the previously commanded range. These parameters include but are not limited to, transmission in neutral and vehicle speed is less than three miles per hour. Some vehicles with the GEM system will not engage fourwheel low range if the GEM thinks that the drivers door is open.
Noise Isolation: There are several tools available today to help isolate noises and vibrations. One of the most helpful tools out there is “Chassis Ears” or even a vacuum hose. “Chassis Ears” is an electronic stethoscope that is available from your local tool supplier. An Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA) is also available.

G.M. Electronic 4x4 System Diagnosis The early NV233 systems up to 2004, found on Blazer, S-10 trucks and Tahoe applications, will not allow data or code retrieval with a scanner, however manual code retrieval is available. To retrieve codes manually, locate the data link connector (DLC) near the right side of steering column. Install a jumper wire between the diagnostic pigtail (orange wire at DLC terminal No.13) and ground. Turn ignition switch on and observe the 4WD selector switch status lights. After approximately 3 second, if there is a code in the TCCM system, the 4WD selector switch lights will start to ash. All NV233 transfer case codes are single digit codes. These codes are: Code #1: TCCM Internal Fault Code #2: Encoder Circuit Fault Code #3: Motor Circuit Fault Code #4: TCCM RAM/ROM Fault To clear codes: Remove T/L CTSY (20 amp) fuse (“T” series) or “T-CASE” fuse (“K” series); wait 2 ½ minutes and then reinstall fuse. Cycle ignition 5 times, codes should be cleared from TCCM. When attempting to retrieve codes from the NVG233 transf er case system, you may encounter inoperative 4WD lights. If the 4WD lights are inoperative, check the 10-amp “Gauges” fuse (fuse #4) located in the instrument panel fuse block. If the 10-amp “gauges” fuse is good, inspect the 20-amp “4WD” fuse (fuse #19) also located in the instrument panel fuse block. If either fuse is blown, repair the affected circuit as needed. The next step is to check the TCCM power feed circuits at terminals #C6, C8, D14 & D15 for 12vdc with the ignition on, and the ground circuits at terminals #C10, D10, D12 & D13 for a good path to ground. The ground path should have less than a 0.05vdc voltage drop. After verifying good power and grounds to the TCCM, the next step is to check for power on TCCM terminals #C11, C12 & C13 with the ignition on. A quick and easy test for the 4WD light system is to ground TCCM terminals #C11, C12 & C13 individually and see if each 4WD light illuminates. If each 4WD light illuminates, the 4WD light circuits are intact. Suspect a possible TCCM problem. Refer to the TCCM connector views to determine the correct terminal locations.

G.M. Electronic 4x4 System Diagnosis (continued) Code #1: TCCM Internal Fault: Attempt to clear code #1. If the code resets, turn ignition switch on a nd check for battery voltage on circuit #1640 (orange wire) at TCCM terminals #D14 & D15. If battery voltage is found at TCCM terminals #D14 & D15, check the TCCM ground circuits #150 (black wire) at terminals #C9, C10, D10, D12 & D13. If the TCCM has good power and ground circuits, replace the TCCM and recheck the 4x4 system operation.

G.M. Electronic 4x4 System Diagnosis (continued) Code #2: Encoder Circuit Fault: Attempt to clear code #2. If the code resets, disconnect the transfer case harness connector. Turn the ignition switch on and check for a 5vdc signal coming from the TCCM to the transfer case harness connector terminals #1, 2, 4, & 8 (encoder circuits A, B, C & D). If the TCCM is delivering a 5vdc signal to the encoder circuits, go to the next step. The next step is to measure the resistance of the internal encoder circuits to the transfer case ground. If the resistance to case ground is less than 5ohms on any one of the internal encoder circuits, replace the encoder/motor assembly. If the resistance on the internal encoder circuits are greater than 5ohms, check the resistance of circuit #1554 (black/yellow wire) from the TCCM terminal #C9 to the encoder/motor connector terminal # 3. If the resistance is less than 2ohms, replace the TCCM. (Warning: always check the TCCM power and grounds before replacing the TCCM)

G.M. Electronic 4x4 System Diagnosis (continued) Code #3: Motor Circuit Fault: Attempt to clear Code #3. If the code resets, check 20 amp “4WD” fuse (fuse #19) located in instrument panel fuse block. If the 4WD fuse is blown, repair the circuit as needed. If the 4WD fuse is not blown, turn the ignition switch on and while moving the 4WD selector switch between 4HI and 4LOW positions, measure the voltage at the encoder/ motor connector terminals # 6 & #7. The voltage should alternate from positive 12vdc to negative 12vdc while moving the selector switch between 4HI and 4LOW positions. If voltage alternates from positive to negative, replace the encoder/motor assembly. If voltage does not alternate from positive to negative, check the motor control circuits going back to the TCCM. If the motor control circuits are good, suspect a faulty TCCM.

ITM 3e AWD System Introduction What’s New in AWD: The ITM 3e system is just one of the latest interactive all-wheel drive systems available as part of BorgWarner’s growing “iTrac ®” torque management systems portfolio. BorgWarner has a full line of active torque management devices focused on the needs of the ever expanding all-wheel drive market, such as the new “NexTrac®” all-wheel drive system being launched in 2009 Hyndai Santa Fe and/or the Cadillac CTS’s “ITM®” all-wheel drive system also being launched this year. These all-wheel drive systems are among the most advanced interactive all-wheel drive systems available in the world today.
A Closer Look at the “ITM 3e®” System: The “ITM 3e®” system uses sophisticated controls and algorithms to sense wheel slip and can seamlessly convert to an all-wheel drive system within milliseconds. This enhances vehicle handling by optimizing vehicle traction to both the front and rear wheels when needed. While driving at highway speeds, the “ITM 3e®” system reduces torque transfer to the rear wheels, which improves fuel economy when compared to a full-time all-wheel drive system. The “ITM 3e®” system is designed to work in conjunction with other vehicle onboard systems such as the anti-lock brake system (ABS) and the electronic ride stability system to provide improved traction and stability when needed.
Electronically Controlled All-Wheel Drive System: The “ITM 3e®” system requires no front-to-rear slippage to activate the all-wheel drive system, unlike other all-wheel drive systems that rely on pumps or a viscous fuid to transfer torque to the non-driving wheels when needed. This system transfers torque solely in response to accelerator pedal position and other veh icle system inputs. This electronically controlled all-wheel drive system does not incorporate traction control. The all-wheel drive system does not a id in side-to-side traction. The anti-lock brake system (ABS) is responsible for side-to-side traction using brake intervention programming.

ITM 3e AWD System Components (continued) ECM
The AWD ECM communicates with the ABS control module and the PCM over the CAN C “BUS” system. The AWD ECM uses the wheel speed sensor inputs from the ABS module to monitor wheel speeds relative to one another and also determine the vehicle’s actual speed. The AWD ECM uses this information along with the accelerator pedal position to determine how much torque is to be transferred to the rear wheels. The AWD ECM then sends an electrical current to the ECC that is proportional to the amount of torque required. This allows the torque transfer to the rear wheels, to be ne-tuned to the amount of traction actually needed.

ITM 3e AWD System Power Transfer Unit (PTU) The power transfer unit (PTU) or transfer case is mounted to the right side of the transmission. The right axle half-shaft passes through the power transfer unit and drives the right front wheel. The power transfer unit transfers torque from the driving wheels to the rear differential through the drive shaft and electronically controlled coupling (ECC).

ITM 3e AWD System Two Piece Drive Shaft and the ECTC Two Piece Drive Shaft: The two piece drive shaft connects the power transfer unit to the electronically controlled coupler. A center bearing supports the drive shaft and a center plunge type joint compensates for movement between the engine/power transfer unit and the electronically controlled coupling.
The Electronically Controlled Transfer Case (ECTC) The purpose of the ECTC is to transmit torque to the rear wheels by way of a two-stage clutch system. The low torque electromagnet powered clutch, is controlled by the AWD ECM. A cam and ball mechanism amplies the force of the low torque clutch, applying the wet multi-disc main clutch that transmits torque to the rear wheels. The wet clutch is similar to clutch packs in automatic transmissions.

ITM 3e AWD System The Rear Differential Assembly and Axle Shafts The rear differential assembly of the “ITM 3e®” system consists of the electronically controlled coupling and the rear differential. The rear differential uses the torque provided by the electronically controlled coupling to drive the rear wheels. The electronically controlled coupling is not serviceable and must be replaced as an assembly.
Axle Shafts:
The axle shafts are internal to the rear differential assembly. The purpose of the axle shaft is to transfer torque from the differential carrier to the wheels.

ITM 3e AWD System Operating Systems The system has four operating modes: • • • •
Open loop Closed loop Wheel speed dependent Vehicle dynamics enhancement
The AWD ECM also interfaces with the ABS/Stability ride control system and the traction control system. This interface allows the ABS system to inuence rear wheel torque transfer through the EEC and helps the driver maintain control of the vehicle.
Open Loop Operation: In high power demand situations, the all-wheel drive system immediately starts engaging the electronically controlled coupling, transferring a high percentage of torque to the rear wheels. This prevents front wheel slippage, as power is transmitted to all four wheels. This mode of operation is called open-loop operation, because the AWD ECM does not use inputs from the ABS system to control the torque transfer to the rear wheels.
Closed Loop Operation: In closed-loop operation, the AWD ECM uses inputs from the ABS control module to determine the proper torque transfer as needed. Power to the rear wheels is also modulated under the following conditions. • Front wheels slipping on ice while backing will transfer torque to the rear wheels • Loss of traction at freeway speeds, as in hydroplaning, will transfer torque to the rear wheels. Both open-loop and closed-loop modes are always active with the closed-loop mode layered on top of the open-loop mode to increase torque to the rear wheels when needed to maintain traction in extreme situations.

4 X 4
167
ITM 3e AWD System Operating Systems (continued) Wheel Speed Dependent Operation: Wheel Speed dependent mode is independent of the open-loop and closed-loop modes, using wheel speed differences to determine when the vehicle is turning in a tight turn. This condition is indicated by a large difference in the side-to-side wheel speeds. This causes the AWD ECM to reduce torque to the rear wheels which prevents binding in the driveline.
Vehicle Dynamics Enhancement: Additional AWD ECM calibrations control the torque being sent to the rear wheels for improved handling at speeds between 25 mph and 65 mph. At these speeds, the system increases torque to the rear wheels during cornering. Above 70 mph. and under normal driving conditions, the AWD ECM strategy provides minimal torque transfer to the rear wheels to increase fuel economy.

722.9 Introduction The 722.9 transmission can be found in the Mercedes 2004-06 SL500, 2005 & up CL500, E500, S430, 500, SLK350, 55 AMG, 2006 & up C230, 280, 350, CLK350, CLS500, E350, E63 AMG, R350, 500, SLK280 and 2007 & up CLK550, CLS550, CL600, CLS63 AMG, E550, E63 AMG, GL320, 450, ML350, 500, ML63 AMG, R63, and S550. This 5th generation transmission is the rst 7 speed automatic produced by Mercedes Benz. The Mercedes designation for this transm ission is New Automatic Gearbox 2 (NAG2) or 7G – Tronic. Along with 7 forward speeds this unit also has 2 reverse gears ratios (similar to the 722.6) depending on whether it's in the Sport or Comfort mode. Shift Strategy • Shift strategy improvements include: • Shorter computer reaction time by 0.1 second • Downshifts shortened by up to 0.2 seconds • Coasting downshifts shortened by 0.4/2.5 seconds • 37-47 MPH acceleration times shortened by 23-28% (model dependant) • Fuel consumption reduced by up to 4% • Noise levels reduced, due to lower engine speed in 5th, 6th & 7th gear at constant vehicle speed • Flexible adaptation to vehicle and engine Variable Shift Programming There are two basic shift programs that can be varied by the customer (similar to the 722.6) using the S or C button on the Electronic Shifter Module (ESM). “S” ( Sport) • 1st gear starts • Normal shift points • Reverse gear 1 (-3.416:1) “C” (Comfort) • 2nd gear starts • Earlier up-shifts and later downshifts • Reverse gear 2 (-2.231:1) Note: Transmission will start in rst gear if any of the following conditions apply: • 1st gear is manually selected • 3/4 to full throttle acceleration from start • Cold engine temp (pre-catalytic warm up)

722.9 Limp Mode Emergency function or Limp-home mode: There are a variety of failsafe modes; • If a solenoid is defective, the gear affected is blocked, example: (solenoid Y3/8y7-B3 clutch is defective: no 1st, 7th or Reverse in “S” mode) • If hydraulic fault prevents a gear from engaging then the previous gear will be applied. • If the computer defaults while driving, all solenoids will be turned off. Solenoids that are normally open will allow full pressure to selected clutches and the transmission will be in 6th gear. After shifting to “P” oil pressure from K2 solenoid is redirected to B2/BR solenoid via emergency operation valves and the transmission will now achieve 2nd in “D” and Reverse.

722.9 Torque Converter The torque converter operates in an open slip mode in all seven forward gear. In other words lock up is never fully achieved. The converter is open in 1st and 2nd gear if the throttle and the output shaft speed are in “Zone A”. The converter is in slip-control in all seven (7) forward gears if the throttle and the output shaft speed are in “Zone B”. Oil feed pressure to the converter is varied depending on the amount of slip. The lock-up clutch will turn off and the transmission will shift to a lower gear at oil temperatures of 140°C or higher. The Torque converter holds four (4) liters of uid and incorporates damper springs integral to lock up clutch to reduce vibration.
