Powertrain Control System   
  • PCM, vehicle wiring harnesses, transmission internal harness, TSS/intermediate shaft speed sensor, OSS sensor, TR-P sensor, TFT sensor, TCIL, tow/haul switch, TSPC driver circuit.

    2. Isolates a potential fault down to a specific pressure switch, solenoid, or clutch
    3. Limits gears of operation based on the failure after the fault had been isolated
  • When failures occur the customer may complain of erratic shifting or transmission hanging in gear. This is normal for the FMEM strategy. Determine which gears are being commanded, and which gears are being avoided, and this will in turn point to a specific pressure switch, solenoid, or clutch fault.

  • Any time the vehicle battery has been disconnected, a new PCM has been installed or the vehicle calibration has been reflashed the adaptive strategy for the "Engagement Schedule" will need to be updated. This will prevent the customer from returning with firm engagements.
NOTE: All of the following engagements must be carried out in order for engagement pressures to correctly adapt with the new calibration.
Once the vehicle's battery has been reconnected or the reprogramming is complete, the adaptive strategy for pressure control on engagements must be updated.
  1. Install the diagnostic equipment and monitor TFT.
  2. Warm the transmission fluid to 54°C (130°F) as indicated by the TFT.
  3. Carry out five engagements from PARK to REVERSE. Each engagement must be five seconds apart.
  4. Carry out five engagements from DRIVE to REVERSE. Each engagement must be five seconds apart.
  5. Carry out five engagements from REVERSE to DRIVE. Each engagement must be five seconds apart.
  6. Carry out five engagements from NEUTRAL to DRIVE. Each engagement must be five seconds apart.
