Since it is possible any one of multiple systems may be the cause of a symptom, it may be necessary to use a process of elimination type of diagnostic approach to pinpoint the responsible system.

  • The transmission Failure Mode Effects Management serves 3 purposes:

  1. Prevents invalid combinations of applied clutches that cause tie-ups
  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 Failure Mode Effects Management 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.

Possible Component Reference/Action
267 - ROUTINE 
Battery   
  • Any time the vehicle battery has been disconnected, a new PCM has been installed or the vehicle calibration has been reprogrammed 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 scan tool and monitor the transmission fluid temperature.
  2. Warm the transmission fluid to 54°C (130°F) as indicated by the Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor.
  3. CARRY OUT 5 engagements from PARK to REVERSE. Each engagement must be 5 seconds apart.
  4. CARRY OUT 5 engagements from DRIVE to REVERSE. Each engagement must be 5 seconds apart.
  5. CARRY OUT 5 engagements from REVERSE to DRIVE. Each engagement must be 5 seconds apart.
  6. CARRY OUT 5 engagements from NEUTRAL to DRIVE. Each engagement must be 5 seconds apart.
