2 Seven-digit solenoid body identification
The solenoid body strategy is a file that is programmed into the PCM to control the shift, Line Pressure Control (LPC)
and Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) solenoids to prevent harsh shifts. The solenoid body tag on the transaxle case
contains the 13-digit solenoid body strategy and the 7-digit solenoid body identification.
Item Description
1 Thirteen-digit solenoid body strategy
2 Seven-digit solenoid body identification
Any time a new solenoid body is installed, a new solenoid body strategy file is downloaded into the PCM using the scan
tool. A replacement solenoid body tag is supplied with the new solenoid body which contains the 13-digit solenoid body
strategy and the 7-digit solenoid body identification. The new tag is placed over the original solenoid body tag.
Item Description
1 Thirteen-digit solenoid body strategy
2 Seven-digit solenoid body identification
If the solenoid body strategy printed on the solenoid body connector does not match the solenoid body tag, a new
solenoid body must be installed and the solenoid body strategy must be downloaded into the PCM or harsh shifts will
result.
Major Components
Gear Ratios
Torque Converter
The torque converter transmits and multiplies torque. The torque converter is a 4-element device:
Rotation of the torque converter housing and impeller set the transmission fluid in motion by driving the impeller blades and
pump.
The turbine is driven by the transmission fluid from the impeller and transmits power to the input shaft.
The reactor redirects transmission fluid flow returned from the turbine to the impeller so that it rotates in the same direction as
the impeller. This action assists in torque multiplication.
The reactor has a One-Way Clutch (OWC) to hold it stationary during torque multiplication and allows it to rotate at higher
vehicle speeds.

2 Reactor
3 Turbine
4 Impeller and cover assembly
5 One-Way Clutch (OWC)
6 Fluid motion
7 Input shaft rotation
8 Input shaft
9 Engine rotation
The Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) connects the torque converter housing to the damper when the TCC is applied.
During TCC release, the direction that the transmission fluid flows through the torque converter allows the TCC to release.
During TCC apply, the transmission fluid flows in the opposite direction to apply the TCC .
The PCM controls TCC operation using the TCC solenoid in the solenoid body. TCC solenoid operation provides the modulation
of hydraulic pressure to change the position of the TCC control valve and TCC regulator apply valve which changes the
pressure and transmission fluid direction in the torque converter.
The TCC can be applied in 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th gears.
Shift Patterns
Upshifts
Upshifting is controlled by the PCM. The PCM receives inputs from various engine or vehicle sensors and driver demands to control shift
scheduling, shift feel and Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) operation.
The PCM has an adaptive learn strategy to electronically control the transaxle which will automatically adjust the shift feel through the life of
the vehicle. The first few hundred miles of operation of the transaxle may have abrupt shifting. This is a normal operation. To reset the
adaptive shift pressure strategy, use the scan tool to clear the transmission keep alive memory tables.
Downshifts
Under certain conditions, the transaxle will downshift automatically to a lower gear range (without moving the selector lever). There are 3
categories of automatic downshifts: coastdown, torque demand and forced or kickdown shifts.
Coastdown
The coastdown downshift occurs when the vehicle is coasting down to a stop.
Torque Demand
The torque demand downshift occurs (automatically) during part throttle acceleration when the demand for torque is greater than the engine
can provide at that gear ratio. If applied, the transmission will disengage the TCC to provide added acceleration.
Kickdown
For maximum acceleration, the driver can force a downshift by pressing the accelerator pedal to the floor. A forced downshift into a lower
gear is possible below calibrated speeds. Specifications for downshift speeds are subject to variations due to tire size, engine and transaxle
calibration requirements.

Planetary Gearset
This transaxle has 3 planetary gearsets to provide operation in reverse and 6 forward speeds.
Front planetary sun gear (part of the front sun gear and shell assembly)
Front planetary carrier
Front planetary ring gear
Center planetary sun gear
Center planetary carrier
Center planetary ring gear
Rear planetary ring gear
Rear planetary carrier
Rear planetary sun gear and shell assembly
The front planetary sun gear is splined to the forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch and is held stationary in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th
gears.
The front planetary carrier is splined to the rear planetary ring gear and transfers power from the rear planetary gearset
to the front planetary gearset in 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th gears and reverse. The front planetary carrier is splined to the
drive chain drive sprocket. The front planetary carrier is the output component for the planetary gearset.
The front planetary ring gear is splined to the center planetary carrier and transfers power from the center planetary
gearset to the front planetary gearset in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears.
The center planetary sun gear is splined to the input shaft and is used as input to the planetary gearsets in 1st, 2nd, 3rd
and 4th gear.
The center planetary ring gear is splined to the rear planetary carrier and transfers power from the center planetary
gearset to the rear planetary gearset in 3rd gear, from the rear planetary gearset to the center planetary gearset in 4th
gear and is held stationary by the low One-Way Clutch (OWC) and low/reverse clutch in 1st gear and reverse.
The rear planetary carrier is splined to the Overdrive (O/D) (4, 5, 6) clutch hub and transfers power from the input shaft
to the rear planetary carrier in 4th, 5th and 6th gears.
The rear planetary sun gear and shell assembly is splined to both the intermediate (2, 6) clutch and the direct (3, 5, R)
clutch. The rear planetary sun gear and shell assembly is held stationary by the intermediate (2, 6) clutch in 2nd and 6th
gear and is driven by the direct (3, 5, R) clutch in 3rd and 5th gears and reverse.
Input Shaft
The input shaft is part of the direct/ O/D clutch assembly and is splined to the torque converter turbine and the center
planetary sun gear. The input shaft transfers power from the torque converter to the rear planetary gearset through the
center planetary sun gear and the direct (3, 5, R) and O/D (4, 5, 6) clutches.
The front planetary carrier hub/park gear is splined to the front planetary carrier and the drive chain drive sprocket. This
allows torque to be transferred from the planetary gearset to the final drive gearset.
The final drive consists of a drive chain and sprockets and a planetary gearset and differential assembly. The drive
chain and sprockets transfer torque from the front planetary carrier hub to the differential assembly that has a planetary
gearset integrated into it for final drive torque multiplication.
Drive sprocket
Drive chain
Driven sprocket
Final drive sun gear
Final drive ring gear
Final drive planetary carrier and differential assembly
Differential
The differential allows the halfshafts and wheels to rotate at different speeds during cornering and transfers power to the
Power Transfer Unit (PTU) for All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicles.
When driving in a straight line, both front wheels rotate at relatively the same speed. This means both side gears are
rotating at the same speed, as well, while both pinion gears revolve (but do not rotate) with the side gears. During
cornering, the wheel on the outside of the turn is forced to rotate faster than the wheel on the inside of the turn. Since
the side gears must now rotate at different speeds, the pinion gears rotate on the pinion shaft allowing the drive axles to
rotate at different speeds while still transferring output torque.
Hydraulic pressure from the regulator valve in the valve body pushes the direct clutch piston against the direct clutch
pack to apply the clutch. The input shaft and direct/ O/D clutch hub assembly transfers torque to the rear planetary sun
gear and shell assembly as a result of the clutch being applied.
The O/D clutch is a drive clutch that transfers power from the direct/ O/D clutch hub assembly to the rear planetary
carrier. The O/D clutch is applied in 4th, 5th and 6th gears.
Hydraulic pressure from the regulator valve in the valve body pushes the O/D clutch piston against the O/D clutch pack
to apply the clutch. The input shaft and direct/ O/D clutch hub assembly transfers torque to the rear planetary carrier as
a result of the clutch being applied.
The forward clutch is a brake clutch that holds the front sun gear and shell assembly. The forward clutch is applied in
1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears.
Hydraulic pressure from the regulator valve in the valve body pushes the forward clutch piston against the forward clutch
pack to apply the clutch. The front sun gear and shell assembly is held stationary to the transaxle case as a result of the
clutch being applied.
Low/Reverse Clutch
The low/reverse clutch is a brake clutch that holds the low OWC which is splined to the rear planetary carrier. The
low/reverse clutch is applied in manual LOW, REVERSE and 1st gear up to 8 km/h (5 mph).
Hydraulic pressure from the regulator valve in the valve body pushes the low/reverse clutch piston against the
low/reverse clutch pack to apply the clutch. The rear planetary carrier is held stationary to the transaxle case as a result
of the clutch being applied.
The intermediate clutch is a brake clutch that holds the rear planetary sun gear and shell assembly. The intermediate
clutch is applied in 2nd and 6th gears.
Hydraulic pressure from the regulator valve in the valve body pushes the intermediate clutch piston against the
intermediate clutch pack to apply the clutch. The low OWC works as a pressure plate for the intermediate (2, 6) clutch.
The rear planetary sun gear and shell assembly is held stationary to the transaxle case as a result of the clutch being
applied.
The low OWC is a brake clutch that holds the rear planetary carrier in one direction and allows it to freewheel in the
opposite direction which eliminates engine braking in 1st gear when the transaxle is in DRIVE. The low OWC is also the
pressure plate for the intermediate (2, 6) clutch.
External Sealing
The torque converter housing has a lip-type seal that seals the torque converter hub. The pump assembly seals to the
torque converter housing with a rubber seal. The manual shaft and halfshafts also use lip-type seals. All-Wheel Drive
(AWD) vehicles do not use a RH halfshaft seal, the transaxle is sealed by the Power Transfer Unit (PTU) on the RH
side.
The torque converter housing is sealed to the transaxle case with silicone sealant.
The main control cover is sealed to the transaxle case with silicone sealant and seals to the solenoid body with a
reusable rubber gasket. The Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) sensor is sealed to the transaxle case with an O-ring seal.
The line pressure tap plug and transmission fluid drain plug have pipe threads and seal when tightened to specification.
The transmission fluid filler tube is sealed to the torque converter housing with an O-ring seal.
Lubrication
Transmission fluid enters the lubrication circuits after flowing through the transmission fluid cooler. The transmission
fluid cooler is mounted at the front of the vehicle. When the transmission fluid is not up to operating temperature, an
internal thermal bypass valve allows the transmission fluid to bypass the transmission fluid cooler. When the
transmission fluid circulates through the transmission fluid cooler, the transmission fluid returns to the transaxle from the
transmission fluid cooler tubes through the back transmission fluid cooler tube.
The transmission fluid enters main lubrication circuit through the transaxle case and flows through passages in the input
shaft to lubricate the transaxle.
The transmission fluid in the input shaft circuit flows from the back of the input shaft toward the front of the input shaft
and passes through ports in the input shaft to lubricate the planetary gearset, clutches, final drive assembly and other
components of the transaxle.
Lubrication Passages
Park
The park gear is splined to the front planetary carrier and the drive chain drive sprocket. There are lugs around the outer
diameter of the park gear to allow the park pawl to hold the park gear stationary to the transaxle case which holds the
final drive assembly in place and keeps the vehicle from moving.
When the manual control lever is rotated to the PARK position, the park lock works as follows:
The Transmission Range (TR) sensor rotates the range detent plate which pushes the park pawl actuator rod
towards the park pawl.
The actuator rod pivots the park pawl into the lugs on the park gear, locking the gear stationary to the transaxle
case.
Hydraulic System
The transmission fluid in the sump area at the bottom of the transaxle case flows through a transmission fluid filter to the pump
assembly. The pump is bolted to the torque converter housing and is driven by the torque converter hub.
The transmission fluid level is checked with the transaxle at normal operating temperature between 85°C and 93°C (185°F and 200°
F).
The transmission fluid level indicator is part of the transmission fluid filler tube located at the back of the torque converter housing.
The correct transmission fluid level is between the minimum and maximum marks on the transmission fluid level indicator.
Main Control
The hydraulic system has a main control assembly. The main control assembly consists of a valve body and a solenoid body. Both the
valve body and the solenoid body contain hydraulic shift valves. The solenoid body contains the shift solenoids that control the
hydraulic valves. The solenoid body can be serviced as an assembly with the solenoids or the solenoids can be serviced individually.
The solenoid body is controlled by the PCM. The PCM has software stored in it specific to the solenoid body currently in the transaxle,
called the solenoid body strategy. A new solenoid body strategy must be downloaded into the PCM anytime a new solenoid body is
installed.
The pump assembly contains the main pressure regulator valve assembly and the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) control valve
assembly.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 02/25/2011
Hydraulic Circuits
Line pressure is controlled by the Line Pressure Control (LPC) solenoid, which is controlled by the PCM. This effects
shift feel and apply component operation.
When the engine is running, the pump supplies pressure to the main pressure regulator valve, which is controlled by the
LPC solenoid. The main pressure regulator valve controls the line pressure to the LINE circuit which supplies the
manual valve solenoid regulator valve and the control pressure regulator valve.
When the manual valve is in the reverse position, it supplies the clutch control bypass valve with line pressure to
position it to supply line pressure to the direct (3, 5, R) regulator valve and regulated line pressure to the low/reverse
clutch to apply the clutch.
When the manual valve is in the DRIVE or LOW positions, it directs line pressure from the LINE circuit to the DRIVE
circuit to supply line pressure to the:
Pressure for TCC release is supplied by the main pressure regulator valve to the TCC control valve through the CONV
FD circuit. The CONV FD circuit also supplies lubrication for the differential. When the TCC is released, the TCC control
valve is positioned by the TCC solenoid to direct CONV FD pressure to the TCC RELEASE circuit to release the TCC .
TCC RELEASE pressure returns to the TCC control valve through the TCC APPLY circuit. The position of the TCC
control valve opens the TCC APPLY circuit to the COOLER FD circuit which allows the transmission fluid returned from
the torque converter to cycle through the thermal bypass valve circuit when the Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT)
is below 80°C-93°C (176°F-200°F) or the transmission fluid cooler when the temperature is above 80°C-93°C (176°F-
200°F).
Return transmission fluid from the thermal bypass valve or the transmission fluid cooler supplies transaxle lubrication
through the LUBE circuit which runs through the input shaft.
For lubrication passage location and description, refer to Mechanical Components and Functions in this section.
The position of the TCC control valve is controlled by pressure from the TCC solenoid through the VBS TCC circuit. The
TCC solenoid is controlled by the PCM.
When the TCC clutch is applied, the TCC solenoid applies pressure to the TCC control and regulator valves to position
the valves to apply the TCC clutch. Regulated line pressure is supplied to the TCC control valve through the REG
APPLY circuit by the TCC regulator valve. The TCC control valve directs the regulated line pressure from the REG
APPLY circuit to the TCC APPLY circuit to apply the TCC . The TCC control valve blocks the TCC RELEASE circuit to
maintain pressure in the TCC APPLY circuit. The TCC control valve directs the CONV FD circuit to the COOLER FD
circuit to allow the transmission fluid to flow through the thermal bypass valve or the transmission fluid cooler to the
LUBE circuit to lubricate the transaxle.
Solenoid Hydraulic Circuits
Line pressure from the main pressure regulator valve is directed to the individual shift, TCC and LPC solenoids by the
solenoid regulator valve through the SOL FD circuit. The solenoids, controlled by the PCM, direct the fluid to the valves
that they control.
The LPC solenoid applies varying pressure to the main pressure regulator valve to control line pressure.
In the PARK and NEUTRAL positions, Shift Solenoid D (SSD) applies varying pressure to the low reverse/456 regulator
and latch valves through the VBS CBR1/456 hydraulic circuit to position the valves to apply the low/reverse clutch.
ON/OFF Shift Solenoid E (SSE) directs pressure to the clutch control bypass valve to position the valve to direct
regulated line pressure from the low reverse/456 regulator valve to the low/reverse clutch.
In the REVERSE position, SSD applies varying pressure to the low reverse/456 regulator and latch valves through the
VBS CBR1/456 hydraulic circuit to position the valves to apply the low/reverse clutch. ON/OFF SSE directs pressure to
the clutch control bypass valve to position the valve to direct regulated line pressure from the low reverse/456 regulator
valve to the low/reverse clutch. The clutch control bypass valve also directs line pressure from the REVERSE circuit to
the 35R regulator valve through the C35R FD and DRIVE 2/C35R FD circuits. Shift Solenoid B (SSB) directs varying
pressure to the 35R regulator and latch valves through the VBS C35R hydraulic circuit to apply the direct (3, 5, R)
clutch.
In 1st gear, Shift Solenoid A (SSA) applies varying pressure to the 1234 clutch regulator and latch valves through the
VBS C1234 hydraulic circuit to apply the forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch.
When vehicle speed is below 8 km/h (5 mph), or the selector lever is in the manual low position, SSD applies varying
pressure to the low reverse/456 regulator and latch valves through the VBS CBR1/456 hydraulic circuit to position the
valves to apply the low/reverse clutch. ON/OFF SSE directs pressure to the clutch control bypass valve to position the
valve to direct regulated line pressure from the low reverse/456 regulator valve to the low/reverse clutch. As vehicle
speed increases above 8 km/h (5 mph) in 1st gear, SSD removes pressure from the low reverse/456 regulator and latch
valves and SSE removes pressure from the clutch control bypass valve to release the low/reverse clutch.
In 2nd gear, the forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch remains applied. SSC applies varying pressure to the 26 regulator and latch
valves through the VBS CB26 hydraulic circuit to apply the intermediate (2, 6) clutch.
In 3rd gear, the forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch remains applied. SSC releases pressure to the 26 regulator and latch valves
to release the intermediate (2, 6) clutch. SSB directs pressure to the 35R regulator and latch valves through the VBS
CB26 hydraulic circuit to apply the direct (3, 5, R) clutch.
In 4th gear, the forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch remains applied. SSB releases pressure to the 35R regulator and latch valves.
SSD directs pressure to the low reverse/456 regulator and latch valves through the VBS CBR1/456 hydraulic circuit.
With SSE released, the clutch control bypass valve directs the regulated line pressure from the low reverse/456
regulator valve to the Overdrive (O/D) (4, 5, 6) clutch to apply the clutch.
In 5th gear, the O/D (4, 5, 6) clutch remains applied. SSA releases pressure to the 1234 regulator and latch valves to
release the forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch. SSB directs pressure to the 35R regulator and latch valves through the VBS
C35R hydraulic circuit to apply the direct (3, 5, R) clutch.
In 6th gear, the O/D (4, 5, 6) clutch remains applied. SSB releases pressure to the 35R regulator and latch valves. SSC
applies varying pressure to the 26 clutch regulator and latch valves through the VBS CB26 hydraulic circuit to apply the
intermediate (2, 6) clutch.
The TCC can be applied in 4th, 5th or 6th gear. To apply the TCC , the TCC solenoid applies pressure to the TCC
regulator valve and the TCC control valve to position the valves to apply the clutch.
During a mechanical, hydraulic or electrical failure with the manual lever in the DRIVE position, the transaxle defaults to
5th gear. When the transaxle is in 5th gear failsafe, the PCM does not control the shift solenoids and they default to their
normal state (maximum pressure, minimum pressure, on or off). The LPC solenoid defaults to maximum pressure, SSA
defaults to minimum pressure, SSB defaults to maximum pressure, SSC defaults to minimum pressure, SSD defaults to
maximum pressure and the TCC solenoid defaults to minimum pressure.
With SSB applying maximum pressure to the direct (3, 5, R) regulator and latch valves, the direct (3, 5, R) clutch is
applied. With SSD applying maximum pressure to the low reverse/456 regulator and latch valves with SSE in the OFF
position, the O/D (4, 5, 6) clutch is applied, providing 5th gear.
Forward (1, 2, 3, 4) Clutch Hydraulic Circuits
Line pressure is supplied to the 1234 regulator valve by the manual valve in the DRIVE and LOW position. To apply the
forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch, SSA supplies varying solenoid pressure to the 1234 regulator and latch valves. As the
regulator valve moves, it supplies the forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch and 1234 latch valve with regulated line pressure
through the C1234 circuit. The 1234 latch valve directs the regulated line pressure to the opposite side of the 1234
regulator valve through the C1234 FDBK circuit for gradual forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch engagement. The forward (1, 2, 3,
4) clutch is applied in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears and manual LOW position.
When the forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch is released in 5th and 6th gears, solenoid pressure from SSA is removed from the
1234 regulator and latch valves which positions the valves to block line pressure and release the forward (1, 2, 3, 4)
clutch. When the forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch is released in the PARK, REVERSE or NEUTRAL position, line pressure is
not supplied to the forward (1, 2, 3, 4) regulator valve.
In the released position, exhaust backfill supplied to the 1234 regulator and latch valves by the manual valve through the
EXH BF circuit is directed to the forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch to fill the unused circuits with unpressurized transmission
fluid.
Direct (3, 5, R) Clutch Hydraulic Circuits
When the direct (3, 5, R) clutch is applied in the REVERSE position, line pressure from the manual valve is directed to
the clutch control bypass valve through the REVERSE circuit. Line pressure in the REVERSE circuit positions the clutch
control bypass valve and supplies line pressure to apply the direct (3, 5, R) clutch. Line pressure from the clutch control
bypass valve is supplied to the 35R regulator valve through the C35R FD circuit, DRIVE 2/C35R FD shuttle ball and
DRIVE 2/C35R FD circuit.
To apply the direct (3, 5, R) clutch, SSB applies varying solenoid pressure to the 35R regulator and latch valves. As the
regulator valve moves, it supplies the direct (3, 5, R) clutch and 35R latch valve with regulated line pressure through the
C35R circuit. The 35R latch valve directs the regulated line pressure to the opposite side of the 35R regulator valve
through the C35R FDBK circuit for gradual direct (3, 5, R) clutch engagement.
When the direct (3, 5, R) clutch is applied in 3rd and 5th gear, line pressure from the pump is directed to the clutch
control bypass valve by the manual valve through the DRIVE hydraulic circuit. The clutch control bypass valve directs
the pressure to the 35R regulator valve through the TCC regulator valve, DRIVE 2 circuit, DRIVE 2/C35R FD shuttle ball
and DRIVE 2/C35R FD circuit.
To apply the direct (3, 5, R) clutch, SSB applies varying solenoid pressure to the 35R regulator and latch valves. As the
35R regulator valve moves, it supplies the direct (3, 5, R) clutch and 35R latch valve with regulated line pressure
through the C35R circuit. The 35R latch valve directs the regulated line pressure to the opposite side of the regulator
valve through the C35R FDBK circuit for gradual direct (3, 5, R) clutch engagement.
When the direct (3, 5, R) clutch is released, solenoid pressure from SSB is removed from the 35R regulator and latch
valves which positions the valves to block line pressure and release the direct (3, 5, R) clutch. When the direct (3, 5, R)
clutch is released in the PARK or NEUTRAL position, line pressure is not supplied to the 35R regulator valve.
Compensator feed pressure is supplied to the 35R regulator valve from the control pressure regulator through the
COMP FD circuit and is supplied to the opposite side of the direct (3, 5, R) and O/D (4, 5, 6) clutch pistons to keep the
clutches from centrifugally applying. COMP FD pressure is only about 83 kPa (12 psi) and is applied through all gears.
When the direct (3, 5, R) clutch is released, COMP FD is applied by the 35R regulator valve to the direct (3, 5, R) clutch
to fill the unused circuits.
Intermediate (2, 6) Clutch Hydraulic Circuits
Line pressure is supplied to the 26 regulator valve by the manual valve in the DRIVE and LOW positions. To apply the
intermediate (2, 6) clutch, SSC supplies varying solenoid pressure to the 26 regulator and latch valves. As the 26
regulator valve moves, it supplies the intermediate (2, 6) clutch and 26 latch valve with regulated line pressure through
the CB26 circuit. The 26 latch valve directs the regulated line pressure to the opposite side of the 26 regulator valve
through the CB26 FDBK circuit for gradual intermediate (2, 6) clutch engagement. The intermediate (2, 6) clutch is
applied in 2nd and 6th gears.
When the intermediate (2, 6) clutch is released in 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th gears and manual LOW position, solenoid
pressure from SSC is removed from the 26 regulator and latch valves which positions the valves to block line pressure
and release the intermediate (2, 6) clutch. When the intermediate (2, 6) clutch is released in the PARK, REVERSE or
NEUTRAL position, line pressure is not supplied to the 26 regulator valve.
In the released position, exhaust backfill supplied to the 26 clutch regulator valve by the manual valve through the EXH
BF circuit is directed to the intermediate (2, 6) clutch and 26 latch valve to fill the unused circuits with unpressurized
transmission fluid.
Low/Reverse Clutch Hydraulic Circuits
Line pressure is supplied to the low reverse/456 regulator valve by the pump in every gear and manual lever position.
To apply the low/reverse clutch, SSD supplies varying solenoid pressure to the low reverse/456 regulator and latch
valves. As the low reverse/456 regulator valve moves, it supplies the clutch control bypass valve and low reverse/456
latch valve with regulated line pressure through the CBR1/C456 circuit. The low reverse/456 latch valve directs the
regulated line pressure to the opposite side of the 456 regulator valve through the CBR1/C456 FDBK circuit for gradual
low reverse/456 clutch engagement. The low/reverse clutch is applied in PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, 1st gear below
8 km/h (5 mph) and manual LOW position.
In REVERSE, both solenoid pressure from ON/OFF SSE and line pressure from the manual valve in the REVERSE
circuit apply pressure to the clutch control bypass valve to position it for low/reverse clutch application. Regulated line
pressure from the CBR1/C456 circuit is directed to the low/reverse clutch by the clutch control bypass valve through the
CBR1 circuit to apply the low/reverse clutch.
When the low/reverse clutch is applied in PARK, NEUTRAL, LOW or 1st gear below 8 km/h (5 mph), only pressure from
ON/OFF SSE , positions the clutch control bypass valve. Line pressure from the REVERSE circuit is not supplied by the
manual valve.
When the low/reverse clutch is released in 1st gear above 8 km/h (5 mph), 2nd and 3rd gears, solenoid pressure from
SSD is removed from the low reverse/456 regulator and latch valves which positions the valves to block line pressure
and release the low/reverse clutch. Solenoid pressure from SSE is removed from the clutch control bypass valve to
position it to apply the O/D (4, 5, 6) clutch.
When the low/reverse clutch is released in 1st gear above 8 km/h (5 mph), 2nd and 3rd gears, exhaust backfill supplied
to the low reverse/456 clutch regulator valve and the clutch control bypass valve by the manual valve through the EXH
BF circuit is directed to the low reverse/456 latch valve, low/reverse clutch and O/D (4, 5, 6) clutch to fill the unused
circuits with unpressurized transmission fluid.
When the low/reverse clutch is released in 4th, 5th and 6th gears, the low reverse/456 regulator valve supplies
regulated pressure to the clutch control bypass valve through the CBR1/C456 circuit. With ON/OFF SSE in the OFF
position, the regulated pressure is directed to the O/D (4, 5, 6) clutch.
Overdrive (4, 5, 6) Clutch Hydraulic Circuits
Line pressure is supplied to the low reverse/456 regulator valve by the pump in every gear and manual lever position.
To apply the low/reverse clutch, SSD supplies varying solenoid pressure to the low reverse/456 regulator and latch
valves. As the regulator valve moves, it supplies the clutch control bypass valve and low reverse/456 latch valve with
regulated line pressure through the CBR1/C456 circuit. The low reverse/456 latch valve directs the regulated line
pressure to the opposite side of the low reverse/456 regulator valve through the CBR1/C456 FDBK circuit for gradual
O/D (4, 5, 6) clutch engagement.
To apply the O/D (4, 5, 6) clutch, the position of the clutch control bypass valve allows the regulated line pressure in the
CBR1/C456 circuit to supply the C456 circuit, applying the O/D (4, 5, 6) clutch. Clutch control bypass valve latch
pressure is supplied by the C456 circuit. The O/D (4, 5, 6) clutch is applied in 4th, 5th and 6th gears.
When the O/D (4, 5, 6) clutch is released in 1st gear above 8 km/h (5 mph), 2nd and 3rd gears, solenoid pressure from
SSD is removed from the low reverse/456 regulator and latch valves which positions the valves to block line pressure
and release the O/D (4, 5, 6) clutch.
When the O/D (4, 5, 6) clutch is released in 1st gear above 8 km/h (5 mph), 2nd and 3rd gears, exhaust backfill supplied
to the low reverse/456 clutch regulator valve and the clutch control bypass valve by the manual valve through the EXH
BF circuit is directed to the low reverses latch valve, low/reverse clutch and O/D (4, 5, 6) clutch to fill the unused circuits
with unpressurized transmission fluid.
When the O/D (4, 5, 6) clutch is released in PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL and 1st gear below 8 km/h (5 mph), the low
reverse/456 regulator valve supplies regulated pressure to the clutch control bypass valve through the CBR1/C456
circuit. With ON/OFF SSE in the ON position, the regulated pressure is directed to the low/reverse clutch.
SECTION 307-01A: Automatic Transaxle/Transmission — 2010 Escape, Mariner, Escape Hybrid, Mariner Hybrid Workshop
6F35 Manual
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 07/27/2009
The PCM and its input/output network control the following operations:
Shift timing
Line pressure (shift feel)
Torque Converter Clutch (TCC)
The transaxle control is separate from the engine control strategy in the PCM, although some of the input signals are shared.
When determining the best operating strategy for transaxle operation, the PCM uses input information from certain engine-
related and driver-demand related sensors and switches.
In addition, the PCM receives input signals from certain transaxle-related sensors and switches. The PCM also uses these
signals when determining transaxle operating strategy.
Using all of these input signals, the PCM can determine when the time and conditions are right for a shift, or when to apply or
release the TCC . It will also determine the best line pressure needed to optimize shift engagement feel. To accomplish this,
the PCM uses output solenoids to control transaxle operation.
The following provides a brief description of each of the sensors and actuators used to control transaxle operation.
The Electronic Ignition (EI) system consists of the PCM, a Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor and ignition coils. The CKP
sensor sends a crankshaft position signal to the PCM. The PCM then sends the appropriate ignition signal to the ignition coils.
The PCM also uses this signal as well as Wide Open Throttle (WOT) shift control, TCC control and electronic pressure control.
The Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor is mounted on the accelerator pedal. The APP detects the position of the
accelerator pedal and inputs this information as a voltage to the PCM. The PCM uses APP sensor information to aid in
determining line pressure, shift scheduling and TCC operation. Failure of this sensor will cause the transmission to operate at
higher line pressure to avoid damage to the transmission. This higher line pressure causes harsh upshifts and harsh
engagements.
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is a potentiometer mounted on the Throttle Body (TB). The TP sensor detects the position of
the throttle plate and sends this information to the processor assembly as varying voltage signal.
The PCM uses the monitored voltage level of the TP sensor for control of Line Pressure Control (LPC), TCC operation and
shift scheduling.
If a malfunction occurs in the TP sensor circuit, the processor will recognize that the TP sensor signal is out of specification.
The processor will then operate the transaxle in a high capacity mode to prevent transaxle damage.
PCM
The PCM controls operation of the transaxle. Many input sensors provide information to the PCM. The PCM then controls the
actuators which affect transaxle operation.
The Transmission Range (TR) sensor assembly is an internally mounted sensor that includes the detent bracket and is located
above the main control assembly. The components of the TR sensor are factory adjusted and is installed as a calibrated
assembly. The TR sensor contains electronic circuitry that provides the PCM a fixed frequency duty cycle for each of the
various positions of the manual lever (PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE and LOW to the PCM). The PCM uses the TR
sensor signal for engine start, reverse lamps, LPC , shift scheduling and TCC operation.
The Brake Pedal Position (BPP) switch tells the PCM when the brakes are applied. The BPP switch closes when the brakes
are applied and opens when they are released. The BPP signal is used for the brake shift interlock actuation.
This Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) sensor is a Hall-effect pickup that sends a signal to the PCM that indicates transaxle turbine
shaft input speed. The TSS sensor provides converter turbine speed information for TCC strategy. Also used in determining
static LPC pressure settings.
The Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensor is a Hall-effect pickup, located on the transfer shaft drive gear, that sends a signal to
the PCM to indicate transmission output speed. The OSS is used for TCC control and shift scheduling.
Solenoid Body
NOTICE: If the solenoid body identification and strategy does not match the solenoid body information in the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM), transaxle damage or driveability concerns can occur.
The solenoid body contains 7 solenoids, 5 shift solenoids (Shift Solenoid A (SSA), Shift Solenoid B (SSB), Shift Solenoid C
(SSC), Shift Solenoid D (SSD) and Shift Solenoid E (SSE)), TCC solenoid and LPC solenoid. The Transmission Fluid
Temperature (TFT) is also located in the solenoid body. The solenoid body is serviced as an assembly.
The solenoid body has a unique strategy data file that must be downloaded to the PCM. There is a 7-digit solenoid body
identification and a 13-digit solenoid body strategy for each solenoid body. Any time a new solenoid body is installed or a new
transaxle is installed, the scan tool must be used to get the solenoid body strategy data file and download it into the PCM.
If the PCM is replaced, the solenoid body identification and solenoid body strategy must be downloaded into the PCM.
The LPC solenoid is a Variable Force Solenoid (VFS) that varies hydraulic pressure by actuating a hydraulic valve.
The PCM applies variable current to the LPC solenoid which varies pressure in the VBS LINE hydraulic circuit to the main
pressure regulator valve. Refer to Hydraulic Circuits for additional information.
The LPC solenoid uses inversely proportional operation. As the current from the PCM decreases, the pressure from the
solenoid increases. As the current from the PCM increases, the pressure from the solenoid decreases. The LPC solenoid is
supplied hydraulic pressure from the SOL FD circuit.
With zero current, the LPC solenoid fully opens the hydraulic valve which applies the maximum amount of hydraulic pressure
to the Main Pressure Regulator Valve through the VBS LINE hydraulic circuit and applies maximum line pressure in the LINE
hydraulic circuit. With maximum current to the solenoid, the hydraulic valve fully closes the outlet port for minimum pressure to
the VBS LINE hydraulic circuit to lower the line pressure in the LINE hydraulic circuit.
Line Pressure Control (LPC) Inversely Proportional Variable Force Solenoid (VFS)
The TCC solenoid is a VFS that varies hydraulic pressure by actuating a hydraulic valve.
The PCM applies variable current to the TCC solenoid which varies pressure in the VBS TCC hydraulic circuit to the TCC
regulator valve and the TCC control valve. Refer to Hydraulic Circuits for additional information.
The TCC solenoid uses proportional operation. As the current from the PCM decreases, the pressure from the solenoid
decreases. As the current from the PCM increases, the pressure from the solenoid increases. The TCC solenoid is supplied
hydraulic pressure from the SOL FD circuit.
With zero current, the TCC solenoid fully closes the hydraulic valve which applies the minimum amount of hydraulic pressure
to the TCC regulator valve through the VBS TCC hydraulic circuit and releases the TCC . With maximum current to the
solenoid, the hydraulic valve fully opens the outlet port for maximum pressure to the VBS TCC hydraulic circuit to apply the
TCC .
Shift Solenoid A (SSA), Shift Solenoid B (SSB), Shift Solenoid C (SSC) and Shift Solenoid D (SSD)
Shift solenoids A-D are variable force type solenoids that vary hydraulic pressure by actuating a hydraulic valve.
The PCM applies variable current to the shift solenoids which varies pressure in the hydraulic circuit to the regulator and latch
valves of the clutch that it controls. Refer to Hydraulic Circuits for additional information.
SSA and SSC use proportional operation. As the current from the PCM decreases, the pressure from the solenoid decreases.
As the current from the PCM increases, the pressure from the solenoid increases. SSA and SSC are supplied hydraulic
pressure from the SOL FD circuit.
With zero current, SSA and SSC fully close the hydraulic valves which applies zero amount of hydraulic pressure to the clutch
regulator and latch valves of the clutch that it controls and releases the clutch. With maximum current to the solenoids, the
hydraulic valves are fully open for maximum pressure to the clutch regulator and latch valves to apply the clutch.
Shift Solenoid A (SSA) and Shift Solenoid C (SSC) Proportional Variable Force Type Solenoids
SSB and SSD use inversely proportional operation. As the current from the PCM decreases, the pressure from the solenoid
increases. As the current from the PCM increases, the pressure from the solenoid decreases. SSB and SSD are supplied
hydraulic pressure from the SOL FD circuit.
With zero current, SSB and SSD fully open the hydraulic valves which applies maximum hydraulic pressure to the clutch
regulator and latch valves to apply the clutch that it controls. With maximum current to the solenoids, the hydraulic valve is fully
closed to apply zero amount of hydraulic pressure to the clutch regulator and latch valves of the clutch that it controls and
releases the clutch.
Shift Solenoid B (SSB) and Shift Solenoid D (SSD) Inverse Proportional Variable Force Type Solenoids
SSE is an ON/OFF solenoid. When SSE is in the ON position, SSD controls the clutch regulator and latch valves to apply the
low/reverse clutch. When SSE is in the OFF position, SSD controls the clutch regulator and latch valves to apply the overdrive
(4, 5, 6) clutch. Refer to Hydraulic Circuits for additional information.
SSE is supplied hydraulic pressure from the SOL FD circuit. When SSE is OFF, the solenoid supply is blocked and the outlet
port (ON/OFF SIG circuit) is connected to the exhaust port. When SSE is ON, the exhaust port is blocked and the solenoid
supply is connected to the outlet port (ON/OFF SIG circuit), supplying pressure to the clutch control bypass valve.

Prior to carrying out the flow test, the following items should be checked:
Preliminary Inspection
Material
Item Specification
Motorcraft® MERCON® LV Automatic MERCON®
Transmission Fluid LV
XT-10-QLVC
The following items must be checked prior to beginning the diagnostic procedures.
In order to correctly diagnose a concern, first understand the customer complaint or condition. Customer contact
may be required in order to begin to verify the concern. Understand the conditions as to when the concern occurs.
For example:
After understanding when and how the concern occurs, proceed to verifying the concern.
Verification of Condition
This section provides information which is used in determining the actual cause of customer concern and carrying
out the appropriate procedures.
The following procedures must be used when verifying customer concerns for the transmission.
NOTE: Some transaxle conditions may cause engine concerns. The torque converter not disengaging may stall the
engine.
Determine customer concerns relative to vehicle use and dependent driving conditions, paying attention to the
following items:
NOTICE: Do not drive the vehicle if the transmission fluid level indicator shows the transmission fluid is
below the minimum transmission fluid level mark or internal failure could result.
If the vehicle has been operated for an extended period of time at highway speeds, in city traffic, in hot weather or
while pulling a trailer, the transmission fluid may need to cool down to obtain an accurate reading.
The transmission fluid level reading on the transmission fluid level indicator will differ depending on operating and
ambient temperatures. The correct reading should be within the crosshatch area.
NOTE: Transmission fluid should be checked at normal operating temperature 85°C-93°C (185°F-200°F) on a level
surface. Normal operating temperature can be reached after approximately 32 km (20 mi) of driving and can be
checked using the scan tool.
Check the transmission fluid level during normal maintenance. If the transaxle starts to slip, shifts slowly or shows
signs of leaking, the transmission fluid level should be checked.
1. With the selector lever in PARK, engine at idle, brake pedal applied, move the selector lever through each
gear range and allow engagement of each gear. Place the selector lever in the PARK position.
2. Wipe the transmission fluid level indicator cap and remove the transmission fluid level indicator.
4. Install the transmission fluid level indicator back in the transmission fluid filler tube until it is fully seated.
5. Remove the transmission fluid level indicator. The transmission fluid level should be within the crosshatch
area.
Item Description
1 Correct transmission fluid level at operating temperature 85°C-93°C (185°F-200°F)
2 Minimum transmission fluid level mark
3 Maximum transmission fluid level mark
4 Flat tow transmission fluid level
High transmission fluid level may cause the transmission fluid to become aerated due to the churning action of the
rotating internal parts. This will cause erratic control pressure, foaming, loss of transmission fluid from the vent tube
and possible transaxle malfunction and/or damage. If an overfill reading is indicated, refer to Transmission Fluid
Drain and Refill in this section.
Low transmission fluid level could result in poor transaxle engagement, slipping, malfunction and/or damage. This
could also indicate a leak in one of the transaxle seals or gaskets.
NOTICE: The use of any type of transmission fluid other than specified could result in transaxle malfunction
and/or damage.
If transmission fluid needs to be added, add transmission fluid in 0.25L (1/2 pt) increments through the transmission
fluid filler tube with the selector lever in PARK and the engine idling. Do not overfill the transmission. For
transmission fluid type, refer to Material chart in this section.
Recreational flat towing of the vehicle may require the transmission fluid to be set to a lower fluid level. This will
prevent damage to the transmission. The transmission fluid level is within the normal operating range and will not
require the transmission fluid level to be readjusted after recreational towing.
2. Hold the transmission fluid level indicator over a white facial tissue and allow the transmission fluid to drip
onto the facial tissue and examine the stain.
3. Observe the color and the odor. Under normal circumstances, the color should be dark red, not brown or
black or have a burnt odor.
4. If evidence of solid material is found, remove the transmission fluid pan for further inspection.
5. If the stain is a foamy pink color, this may indicate coolant or water in the transaxle. Inspect the engine
cooling system at this time.
6. If transmission fluid contamination or transaxle failure is confirmed by the sediment in the transmission fluid,
disassemble and thoroughly clean the transaxle, including the torque converter, cooler bypass valve, coolers
and cooler tubes.
7. Carry out diagnostic checks and adjustments, refer to Diagnosis By Symptom in this section.
Water in Transmission Fluid
To correctly repair a transaxle that had water or coolant introduced into the system, completely disassemble, clean
and replace the following parts:
Prior to installing the transaxle, flush and clean the transmission fluid cooler(s), transmission fluid cooler tubes and
transmission fluid cooler hoses.

Description
Output state control allows a diagnostic scan tool direct control of specific transmission components or functions. Output
state control allows the technician to control the main functions or components of the transmission to help the technician
diagnose the transmission quickly and easily. For example, output state control may be used to change gears or remain
in a specific gear. Output state control may be used to control the operation of the TCC to engage or disengage, or to
keep the converter clutch from engaging at all. Output state control may be used to help carry out solenoid electrical
pinpoint tests by turning a solenoid off or on by controlling the actual current to the VFS solenoid.
Procedure
NOTE: Retrieve Continuous Codes and carry out a KOEO and KOER On-Demand Self Test before using any output
state control. Any DTCs related to the TR sensor, the OSS sensor or the TSS sensor must be fixed or the TCM will not
allow the output state control to operate.
Output state control is used to test various transmission components and functions when the vehicle is in the service
bay or being driven on the road. Specific vehicle conditions are required for output state control to control each specific
function or component. The following describes which transmission functions and components output state control may
control and the specific vehicle conditions necessary for its operation.
Vehicle state No. 1 is functional ONLY when the ignition is in the ON position and the selector lever is in PARK or
NEUTRAL with the engine OFF. Vehicle state No. 1 is required when using output state control to carry out electrical
pinpoint tests. The following transmission components may be controlled using output state control in vehicle state No.
1.
The vehicle requirements must be met when sending an output state control value to control each component such as
the solenoids stated above. If the vehicle requirements are not met when sending the output state control value, an error
message may appear. When an error message appears, output state control is cancelled and should be restarted.
After sending the output state control value, if the vehicle requirements are no longer met, the error message will not
appear but the output state control value will be cancelled by the TCM . Use the scan tool to monitor the PID that
corresponds to each output state control function or component to determine if the TCM is using the output state control
value or normal control.
Output state control may be cancelled at any time, to return the TCM to normal control for a specific output state control
function or component. See instructions for specific scan tool.
Vehicle state No. 2 is functional ONLY when the engine is running and the selector lever is in PARK or NEUTRAL with
engine speed greater than 1,100 rpm. Vehicle state No. 2 is required when using output state control to carry out a line
pressure check. Most, but not all, of the solenoids may be controlled during this vehicle state. It is recommended to use
vehicle state No. 1 when using output state control to control the solenoids. The following transmission function and
components may be controlled using output state control in vehicle state No. 2.
LINEDSD — Output state control function to command line pressure to a desired pressure
SSD_AMP — Controls the current to SSD , VFS
SSC_AMP — Controls the current to SSC , VFS
SSB_AMP — Controls the current to SSB , VFS
SSA_AMP — Controls the current to SSA , VFS
The vehicle requirements must be met when sending an output state control value to control each component such as
the solenoids stated above. If the vehicle requirements are not met when sending the output state control value, an error
message may appear. When an error message appears, output state control is cancelled and should be restarted.
After sending the output state control value, if the vehicle requirements are no longer met, the error message will not
appear but the output state control value will be cancelled by the TCM . Use the scan tool to monitor the PID that
corresponds to each output state control function or component to determine if the TCM is using the output state control
value or normal control.
Output state control may be cancelled at any time, to return the TCM to normal control for a specific output state control
function or component. See instructions for specific scan tool.
Output state control values for SSA_AMP, SSB_AMP, SSC_AMP, SSD_AMP, LPC_AMP and TCC_AMP to control the
current on the VFS solenoids are between zero (0) and one (1) amp. The following are examples.
Output state control aids in testing the electronic functions of the TCM , VFS solenoid and associated circuitry. Output
state control allows the technician to control the TCM commanded current of the VFS solenoids and the commanded
state of the on/off solenoid. This allows the technician to accurately test the electronic circuitry by comparing the
commanded current with the actual current or the on/off state with the actual voltage. Shifting the transmission through
the various gears tests the mechanical operation of the VFS solenoids. When using output state control to control the
VFS current, the technician may measure the circuit current using an inductive pickup or measure the circuit voltage
drop to help verify the proper electrical operation of each VFS solenoid.
The output state control values for LINEDSD to command a desired line pressure are between 414 kPa (60 psi) and
1,931 kPa (280 psi). The following are examples.
60 psi — Commands TCM to control line pressure to 414 kPa (60 psi)
100 psi — Commands TCM to control line pressure to 689 kPa (100 psi)
150 psi — Commands TCM to control line pressure to 965 kPa (150 psi)
200 psi — Commands TCM to control line pressure to 1,517 kPa (200 psi)
NOTICE: Do NOT command line pressure LOWER then 414 kPa (60 psi) or HIGHER then 1,931 kPa (280 psi) or
damage to the transmission can occur.
Output state control allows the technician to control the TCM commanded line pressure. This allows the technician to
accurately test the electronic pressure control system by comparing the output state control commanded line pressure to
the actual line pressure indicated on the pressure gauge. The pressure gauge should be connected to the line pressure
tap on the transmission. The PID corresponding to the commanded line pressure must be monitored to make sure the
TCM is using the output state control value for the commanded line pressure. This test will help verify the correct
operation of the transmission pump assembly, pump regulator valve and the operation of the LPC solenoid.
Drive Test
Output state control allows control of 3 transmission functions while driving on the road. Each transmission function has
a unique set of vehicle operating requirements that the technician is required to meet before the TCM will allow output
state control.
The vehicle requirements must be met when sending an output state control value to control the specific functions
stated above. If the vehicle requirements are not met when sending the output state control value, an error message
may appear. When an error message appears, output state control is cancelled and should be restarted.
After sending the output state control value, if the vehicle requirements are no longer met, the error message will not
appear but the output state control value is cancelled by the TCM . Use the scan tool to monitor the PID that
corresponds to each output state control function or component to determine if the TCM is using the output state control
value or normal control.
Output state control may be cancelled at any time, to return the TCM to normal control for a specific output state control
function or component. See instructions for specific scan tool.
The output state control values for TCC_OSC to engage or disengage the TCC are as follows:
Controlling the TCC will assist the technician in testing the operation of the torque converter for engagements and
disengagements. Also, the technician may find it easier to evaluate upshifts and downshifts by first using output state
control to keep the TCC from engaging.
When SENDING the TCC_OSC value [1 or OFF], the engine must be running with the transmission in the DRIVE
position and the vehicle speed must be greater than 5 km/h (3 mph).
When SENDING the TCC_OSC value [2 or 3 or ON], the engine must be running with the selector lever in the DRIVE
position, transmission in 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th gear, transmission temperature between 4°C (40°F) and 121°C (250°F), the
vehicle speed must be below 24 km/h (15 mph) and engine speed greater than 1,100 rpm with minimal engine load.
NOTE: Once output state control has successfully commanded the transmission to shift to the desired output state
control gear, the transmission will remain in that gear until output state control commands a different gear or the vehicle
conditions are no longer correct.
The output state control values for GEAR_OSC to control the transmission gear changes are as follows:
Controlling the gear changes will assist the technician in testing the various clutches and whether the transmission is
slipping in any particular gear. Output state control will command the TCM to upshift or downshift depending on the
output state control gear value the technician selects. The transmission will remain in the output state control gear
selected until another output state control gear value is sent or until output state control is cancelled and/or the vehicle
conditions for using output state control are no longer met.
When SENDING a GEAR_OSC value, the engine must be running with the selector lever in the DRIVE position, and the
vehicle speed must be greater than 5 km/h (3 mph).
Vehicle speed must be greater then 32 km/h (20 mph) when commanding an upshift to 5th or 6th gear
Vehicle speed must be less then 32 km/h (20 mph) when commanding a downshift to 1st gear
Vehicle speed must be less then 64 km/h (40 mph) when commanding a downshift to 2nd gear
Vehicle speed must be less then 97 km/h (60 mph) when commanding a downshift to 3rd gear
Vehicle speed must be less then 129 km/h (80 mph) when commanding a downshift to 4th gear
Vehicle speed must be less then 161 km/h (100 mph) when commanding a downshift to 5th gear
The output state control values for HRSH_SHFT to command a slight or moderate increase in hydraulic pressure to test
for harsh engagements and upshifts are as follows:
0 or OFF — TCM in normal pressure control for shifts and engagements and output state control is cancelled
1 or ON — Commands TCM to moderately increase hydraulic pressure during engagements and upshifts
Setting HRSH_SFT to 1 or ON allows the technician to moderately increase the pressure when performing
engagements such as P-R, P-D, N-R, N-D, R-D and when performing automatic upshifts. This can provide additional
diagnostic information to help the technician determine whether the electronic pressure control system is providing at
least limited control (a normal shift would become harsh). Using output state control to control HRSH_SHFT [1 or ON]
should make a softer engagement or shift more normal and an already normal shift or engagement harsher by slightly
increasing the pressure. This test should only be used to provide additional diagnostic information and should not be the
only scan tool or test to determine a faulty electronic or hydraulic component.
To confirm that the output state control value was sent by the scan tool and the TCM has accepted the output state
control command, a corresponding PID for each output state control parameter must be monitored. After SENDING the
output state control value, the corresponding PID value should be the same as the output state control value that was
sent. Additional PIDs are listed that may be monitored to help the technician accurately diagnose the transmission.
The following is a list of output state control parameters and their corresponding PIDs:

NOTE: Always drive the vehicle in a safe manner according to driving conditions and obey all traffic laws.
After carrying out the self-test, use the following Transmission Drive Cycle Test for checking continuous codes:
NOTE: The Transmission Drive Cycle Test must be followed exactly. Malfunctions must occur 4 times consecutively for
the shift error DTC to be set. Torque converter failures must occur 5 times consecutively for a continuous DTC to be set.
NOTE: When carrying out the Transmission Drive Cycle Test, see the Solenoid Operation Chart for correct solenoid
operation. Refer to Pinpoint Tests — OSC Equipped Vehicle .
4. With transmission in DRIVE, moderately accelerate from stop to 80 km/h (50 mph). This allows the transmission
to shift into 6th gear. Hold speed and throttle opening steady for a minimum of 15 seconds.
5. With transmission in 6th gear and maintaining steady speed and throttle opening, lightly apply and release the
brake to operate the stoplamps. Hold speed and throttle steady for additional 5 seconds minimum.
If DTCs are present, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Charts . Service all non-transmission DTCs first as
they can directly affect the operation of the transmission. Repeat the self-test and road test the vehicle to verify
the correction. Clear the DTCs, carry out drive cycle and repeat the self-test after completing service on the
DTCs.
If the self-test passes and a concern is still present, refer to Diagnosis By Symptom . Check TSBs for diagnostic
concern.
After OBD
NOTE: The vehicle wiring harness, TCM and non-transmission sensors may affect transmission operations. Service
these concerns first.
After the OBD procedures are complete, service all DTCs.
Begin with non-transmission related DTCs, then service any transmission related DTCs. Refer to the Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) Charts for information on condition and symptoms. This chart is helpful referring to the correct
manual(s) and to aid in diagnosing internal transmission concerns and external non-transmission inputs. The pinpoint
tests are used in diagnosing electrical concerns of the transmission. Make sure the vehicle wiring harness and TCM are
diagnosed as well. Refer to the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual for diagnosing non-
transmission electronic components. The diagnostic routine hydraulic/mechanical charts will help in diagnosing internal
transmission concerns and external non-transmission inputs.
NOTE: Prior to entering pinpoint tests, check the TCM wiring harness for correct connections, bent or broken terminals,
corrosion, loose wires, correct routing, correct seals and their condition. Check the TCM , sensors and actuators for
damage. Refer to the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual.
NOTE: If a concern exists after the electrical diagnosis has been carried out, refer to Diagnosis By Symptom .
If DTCs appear while carrying out the OBD test, refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Charts for the appropriate
repair procedure. Prior to entering pinpoint tests, refer to TSBs for transmission concerns.

Item Specification
Dye-Lite® ATF/Power Steering Fluid Leak —
Detection Dye
164-R3701 (Rotunda)
NOTE: When diagnosing transmission leaks, the source of the leak must be positively identified prior to repair. If the
vehicle is driven extensively between adding the fluorescent additive and performing the leak test, the leaking oil can
spread and make identifying the location of the leak difficult.
1. Clean off any transmission fluid from the top and bottom of the torque converter housing, the front of the case
and rear face of the engine and oil pan. Clean the torque converter area by washing with a nonflammable solvent
and blow dry with compressed air.
2. Add Dye-Lite® ATF Power Steering Fluid Leak Detection Dye to the transmission fluid. Use one 30 ml (1 fl. oz) of
dye solution for every 3.8 L (4 qt) of transmission fluid.
3. Start and run the engine until the transmission reaches its normal operating temperature. Raise the vehicle on a
hoist and run the engine occasionally shifting to the DRIVE and REVERSE ranges to increase pressure within the
transmission. Using a black light, observe the back of the cylinder block and top of the torque converter housing
for evidence of fluid leakage. Run the engine until transmission fluid leakage is evident and the probable source
of leakage can be determined.
4. If the source of the leak is obvious, repair as required. Leaks from the torque converter housing can originate
from several locations. The paths which the fluid takes to reach the bottom of the torque converter housing are
shown in the illustration. The 5 steps following correspond with the numbers in the illustration.
1. Transmission fluid leaking by the converter hub seal lip will tend to move along the drive hub and onto the
back of the torque converter. Except in the case of a total seal failure, transmission fluid leakage by the lip
of the seal will be deposited on the inside of the torque converter housing only, near the outside diameter
of the housing.
2. Transmission fluid leakage by the outside diameter of the converter impeller hub seal and the case will
follow the same path that leaks by the ID of the converter hub seal follow.
3. Transmission fluid leakage from the converter cover weld or the converter-to-flexplate stud weld will
appear at outside diameter of torque converter on the back face of the flexplate and in the converter
housing only near the flexplate. If a converter-to-flexplate lug, lug weld or converter cover weld leak is
suspected, remove the converter and pressure check.
4. Transmission fluid leakage from the bolts inside the converter housing will flow down the back of the
torque converter housing. Leakage may be from loose or missing bolts.
5. Engine oil leaks from the rear main oil.
6. Using a black light, observe the torque converter housing. Inspect for evidence of dye from the pump bolts, pump
seal, and torque converter hub seal. Repair as required.
7. If the source of the leak is not evident, continue with this procedure to leak test the torque converter.
8. Install the torque converter in the arbor press. Support the torque converter on the mounting pads.
9. Install the Leak Tester, Torque Converter 307-421 into the torque converter hub.
10. Secure the press. Only apply enough force from the press to seal of the Leak Tester, Torque Converter 307-421
into the torque converter hub.
11. Connect a compressed air supply to the Leak Tester, Torque Converter 307-421.
12. With air pressure applied to the valve, inspect for leaks at the converter hub weld and seams. A soap bubble
solution can be applied around those areas to aid in the diagnosis. If any leaks are present, install a new torque
converter.
13. With air pressure applied to the valve, inspect for leaks at the stud or mounting pad and balance weight welds. A
soap bubble solution can be applied around those areas to aid in the diagnosis. If any leaks are present, install a
new torque converter.
14. After leaks are repaired, clean remaining transmission fluid dye from serviced areas.

Transaxle Cooling
When internal wear or damage has occurred in the transaxle, metal particles, clutch plate material or band material may
have been carried into the torque converter and transaxle fluid cooler. These contaminants are a major cause of
recurring transaxle troubles and must be removed from the system before the transaxle is put back into use. Refer to
Transmission Fluid Cooler Backflushing and Cleaning in this section.
Transmission Fluid Cooler Flow Test
NOTE: The selector lever linkage, selector lever cable adjustment, transmission fluid level and line pressure must be
within specification before carrying out this test. Refer to Section 307-05A for selector lever linkage and selector lever
cable adjustment and refer to Special Testing Procedures in this section for line pressure test. The transmission fluid
must be above 82°C (180°F) for the cooler bypass to open to carry out this test.
1. Using a scan tool, run the engine to establish the correct transmission fluid temperature of 82°C (180°F).
2. Remove the transmission fluid level indicator from the transaxle filler tube.
5. Remove the transmission fluid cooler return tube (rear fitting) from the fitting on the transaxle case.
6. Connect one end of a hose to the cooler return tube and route other end of the hose up to a point where it can be
inserted into the funnel at the transaxle filler tube.
7. Start the engine and run it at idle with the transmission in NEUTRAL position.
8. When transmission fluid flowing from hose is in a steady stream, a liberal amount of transmission fluid should be
observed. "Liberal" is described as about 1L (1 qt) delivered in 30 seconds. If a liberal flow is observed, the test is
complete.
9. If the flow is not liberal, stop the engine. Disconnect the hose from the cooler return tube and connect it to the
converter outlet tube fitting (front fitting) on the transaxle case.
10. Repeat Steps 7 and 8. If flow is now approximately 1L (1 qt) in 30 seconds, refer to Transmission Fluid Cooler
Backflushing and Cleaning in this section. If the flow is still not approximately 1L (1 qt) in 30 seconds, repair the
pump and/or the torque converter.
If new transmission fluid cooler tubes need to be installed, refer to Section 307-02A .

Disassembly
1. If not previously done, remove the 2 bolts and separate the solenoid body from the valve body.
2. Remove the 2 bolts and remove and discard the separator plate.
5. NOTICE: Be careful not to bend or twist the solenoid body leadframe or the solenoid terminals when
removing the leadframe or damage can occur to the leadframe or the solenoids.
Remove the 5 screws and carefully remove the leadframe from the solenoids by lifting it straight up evenly.
6. NOTICE: The solenoids are calibrated from the factory and are not all the same. Failure to mark the
solenoids to the ports they were originally in can result in mixing the solenoids and can cause damage to
the transaxle or a harsh shift.
Using a paint marker, number the solenoids and the solenoid body to correspond with the ports from which the
solenoids are located in the solenoid body.
Assembly
1. NOTICE: Be careful not to wash the numbers from the solenoids or the solenoid body. Failure to install
the solenoids in the ports they were originally in can result in damage to the transaxle or a harsh shift.
NOTICE: Do not stone or polish any valves or damage to the valves can occur. If the valves do not move
freely during assembly, install a new solenoid body.
Clean and inspect the solenoid body, solenoids and valve assemblies for damage. Inspect the solenoid screens
for debris that may restrict fluid flow through the screen.
2. NOTICE: The solenoids are calibrated from the factory and are not all the same. Failure to install the
solenoids in the ports they were originally in can result in damage to the transaxle or a harsh shift.
If new solenoid(s) are not being installed, position the solenoids in the solenoid body ports from which their
numbers correspond.
3. If installing a new Variable Force Solenoid (VFS), determine the base part number of the solenoid(s). The Torque
Converter Clutch (TCC) solenoid, Shift Solenoid A (SSA) and Shift Solenoid C (SSC) are all normally low
pressure solenoids. The Line Pressure Control (LPC) solenoid, Shift Solenoid B (SSB) and Shift Solenoid D
(SSD) are all normally high pressure solenoids. Shift Solenoid E (SSE) is not a VFS ; it is an ON/OFF solenoid.
4. If installing a new LPC solenoid, SSB or SSD , note the color of the electrical terminal area of the solenoid. The
color will be blue or green and the solenoid can only be replaced with the same color solenoid. If a new solenoid
with that color is not available, install a new solenoid body, refer to Solenoid Body Assembly in this section.
5. Determine the part number suffix by checking the solenoid service band number etched on the side of the
solenoid. The band number is the third digit on the side of the solenoid and will be a 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. Use the
following table to determine the part number suffix and match the new solenoid base part number and suffix with
the old solenoid. Install the solenoid in the solenoid body.
8. Position the leadframe on the guide pins and carefully install the leadframe by pushing it straight down into the
solenoids.
Install the solenoid body valves, springs and retaining clips in the solenoid body. See the Solenoid Body
illustration at the beginning of this procedure for valve and spring locations.
14. If not previously done, refer to Main Control Valve Body in this section for disassembly and assembly of the valve
body.
15. Position the solenoid body assembly on the valve body and install the 2 bolts.
