MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS

INSPECTION/LUBE
OIL
LEVEL
The transmission should be checked for leaks when
other service is necessary under the vehicle. To check
the lube oil level, remove the fill hole plug (Fig. 2 ). If the level is below the bottom of the fill hole, raise
the level to the bottom of the fill hole with:
• Castrol Syntorq for NV4500 transmissions
• SAE 5W-30 engine oil (API Service SG, SG/CD or
SG/CE) for Getrag 360 transmissions.

The condition of the ATF also should be deter­
mined. If the ATF is dark in color and has a strong odor, the fluid should be changed. Also the filter should be replaced and the bands adjusted.
The following procedure must be used to check the
automatic transmission fluid (ATF) level.
(1) Position the vehicle on level ground.
(2) Operate the engine at idle speed.
(3) Apply the parking brake.
(4) Place the gear selector in N (neutral).
(5) Remove the dipstick from the tube. Wipe it
clean and determine if the ATF is hot or warm.
Hot ATF has a temperature of approximately
82°C (180°F). Warm ATF is when its temperature
is between 29-52°C (85-125°F). (6) Wipe the dipstick clean and completely insert it
into the tube. Remove the dipstick from the tube and
observe the ATF level.
(7) If the ATF is hot, the level should be in the
crosshatched area that is marked OK.
(8) If the ATF is warm, the level should be be­
tween the two dimples.

COOLANT
The cooling system is designed around the coolant.
Coolant flows through the engine water jacket ab­ sorbing heat produced during engine operation. The
coolant carries the heat to radiator and heater core.
Here it is transferred to the ambient air passing
through the radiator and heater core fins. The cool­ ant also removes heat from the automatic transmis­sion fluid in vehicles equipped with an automatic
transmission.
COOLANT PERFORMANCE The required ethylene-glycol (antifreeze) and water
mixture depends upon climate and vehicle operating conditions. The coolant performance of various mix­
tures follows:
Pure Water-Water can absorb more heat than a
mixture of water and ethylene-glycol. This is for pur­
pose of heat transfer only. Water also freezes at a higher temperature and allows corrosion.

100%
Ethylene-Glycol-The corrosion inhibiting
additives in ethylene-glycol need the presence of wa­
ter to dissolve. Without water, additives form depos­ its in system. These act as insulation causing
temperature to rise to as high as 149°C (300°F). This
temperature is hot enough to melt plastic and soften solder. The increased temperature can result in en­
gine detonation. In addition, 100 percent ethylene-
glycol freezes at -22°C (-8°F). 50/50 Ethylene-Glycol and Water-Is the recom­
mended mixture, it provides protection against freez­
ing to -37°C (-35°F). The antifreeze concentration
must always be a minimum of 44 percent, year-
round in all climates. If percentage is lower, engine
parts may be eroded by cavitation. Maximum protec­
tion against freezing is provided with a 68 percent antifreeze concentration, which prevents freezing (6) Remove generator mounting bolt (Fig. 33).

OVERDRIVE/OVERRIDE SWITCH-PCM
INPUT

The overdrive/override switch is not used with
manual transmissions. On vehicles equipped with overdrive, the PCM reg­
ulates the 3-4 overdrive upshift and downshift
through the overdrive solenoid. An override switch is located on the instrument panel. The overdrive/override switch is a momentary con­
tact switch. The switch contacts are normally open. When the switch is activated, the PCM will receive a ground signal. The transmission will not enter over­
drive when the operator presses the override switch.
The transmission downshifts if the operator presses
the override switch while in overdrive.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR The coolant temperature sensor is not used with
manual transmissions.
The coolant temperature sensor (Fig. 6) monitors
engine coolant temperature. This input is used to in­
hibit transmission upshift into overdrive when the
engine coolant temperature is below 16 degrees C (60
degrees F).

Fig.
6 Coolant
Temperature
Sensor

TRANSMISSION THERMO-SWITCH The transmission thermo-switch is not used with
manual transmissions.
The transmission thermo-switch opens when the
transmission fluid temperature is above 134°C (273°F). When the thermo-switch opens, the trans­
mission will not shift into overdrive. The transmis­ sion downshifts if it is in overdrive when the thermo-
switch opens. Once the thermo-switch opens, it will
not close until transmission fluid temperature drops
to 116°C (240°F). The switch is located in the trans­ mission-to-radiator cooling line (Fig. 7).

PARK/NEUTRAL SWITCH-PCM
INPUT
The park/neutral switch (Fig. 8) is located on the
automatic transmission housing. It provides an input
THERMO SWITCH
J9214-62

Fig.
7
Transmission
Thermo-Switch—Typical to the PCM. The input indicates if the automatic
transmission is in park, neutral or a drive gear se­ lection.
If transmission is in overdrive and operator shifts
vehicle into neutral, the overdrive solenoid will be de-energized. Normal PCM operation will resume
when the transmission is shifted back into drive po­ sition.
The PCM uses the park/neutral switch input when
determining speed control strategy. The PCM will
disable the speed control if the operator shifts the
transmission into neutral. The speed control will
have to be reset once the vehicle is placed back into drive.
The park/neutral switch is sometimes referred to as
the neutral safety switch. Refer to Group 21 Trans­ missions for adjustment, replacement and test infor­
mation.

WARM-UP

• The PCM may start the air intake heater post-heat
cycle depending on intake air temperature. If manifold air temperature was at or below 15°C (59°F) when the
ignition switch was turned on, the cycle is started.
• If intake manifold air temperature is below 32°C
(90°F),
the KSB solenoid will be energized through
the air temperature switch. The solenoid remains en­ ergized until the air temperature switch opens. The
switch opens when intake manifold air temperature
is above 32°C (90°F).
• If the coolant temperature is below 16°C (60° F),
the transmission will not be allowed to enter over­ drive (automatic transmission).
• The PCM will turn on the water-in-fuel lamp if a signal is received from the water-in-fuel sensor.

CRUISE
OR
IDLE

• The PCM monitors intake manifold air tempera­
ture through the charge temperature sensor input. • If intake manifold air temperature is below 32°C
(90°F),
the KSB solenoid will be energized through
the air temperature switch. The solenoid remains en­ ergized until the air temperature switch opens. The switch opens when intake manifold air temperature
is above 32°C (90°F).
• The air intake heater post-heat cycle will be com­
pleted, if it is not already over.
• The vehicle speed sensor, engine speed sensor and
throttle position sensor inputs are used to control
transmission overdrive operation.
• If the coolant temperature is below 16° C (60° F),
the transmission will not be allowed to enter over­ drive (automatic transmission).
• If the transmission thermo-switch is open, the
transmission will not be allowed to enter into over­
drive (automatic transmission). If the switch opens
when the vehicle is in overdrive, the transmission
will be downshifted. The transmission thermo-switch opens at 134°C (273°F).
• The thermo-switch will close once the transmission
fluid temperature drops to 116°C (240°F). • The PCM will turn on the water-in-fuel lamp if a signal is received from the water-in-fuel sensor.

ACCELERATION
• The vehicle speed sensor, engine speed sensor and
throttle position sensor inputs are used to control
transmission overdrive operation.
• If the coolant temperature is below 16° C (60° F),
the transmission will not be allowed to enter over­
drive (automatic transmission).
• If intake manifold air temperature is below 32°C
(90°F),
the KSB solenoid will be energized through
the air temperature switch. The solenoid remains en­ ergized until the air temperature switch opens. The
switch opens when intake manifold air temperature
is above 32°C (90°F). • If the transmission thermo-switch is open, the
transmission will not be allowed to enter into over­
drive (automatic transmission). If the switch opens
when the vehicle is in overdrive, the transmission
will be downshifted. The transmission thermo-switch opens at 134°C (273°F). The thermo-switch will close
once the transmission fluid temperature drops to 116°C (240°F).
• The PCM will turn on the water-in-fuel lamp if a
signal is received from the water-in-fuel sensor.
• If the speed control system resume/accelerate func­
tion is being used, the PCM will only allow the vehi­
cle to accelerate at a predetermined rate. If a speed
control has been set and the resume/accelerate but­
ton is momentarily pushed in, the PCM will increase
vehicle speed by two miles per hour.
• If the brakes are applied, the PCM will disable the
speed control.

DECELERATION

• The vehicle speed sensor, engine speed sensor and
throttle position sensor inputs are used to control
transmission overdrive operation.
• If the coolant temperature is below 16° C (60° F),
the transmission will not be allowed to enter over­ drive (automatic transmission).
• If the transmission thermo-switch is open, the trans­
mission will not be allowed to enter into overdrive (au­

vehicle is in overdrive, the transmission will be down­ shifted. The transmission thermo-switch opens at 134°C (273°F). The thermo-switch will close once the transmis­
sion fluid temperature drops to 116°C (240°F).
• The PCM will turn on the water-in-fuel lamp if a
signal is received from the water-in-fuel sensor.
• If intake manifold air temperature is below 32°C
(90°F),
the KSB solenoid will be energized through
the air temperature switch. The solenoid remains en­ ergized until the air temperature switch opens. The
switch opens when intake manifold air temperature
is above 32°C (90°F).
• If the speed control system coast/set function is be­
ing used, the PCM will only allow the vehicle to de­ celerate at a predetermined rate. If the coast/set
switch is pushed while the system is operating, the
PCM will set speed control to the rate the vehicle is
traveling at when the switch is released. • If the brakes are applied, the PCM will disable the speed control.

IGNITION SWITCH
OFF
• When the ignition switch is turned to the off posi­
tion, the PCM still receives battery voltage through
the battery input. Battery voltage is needed to keep
PCM memory alive. The PCM memory stores diag­ nostic trouble code (DTC) messages and the mini­
mum TPS value from the previous key-on.
