SYSTEM VOLTAGE MALFUNCTION - P 1794
The TCM monitors the supply voltage and will log this fault if the voltage is less than 10.5V when the engine speed is
greaterthan 1600rpm. This fault code is unlikelyto becaused by afault within theTCM and assuch thevehicle harness
and fuses etc. should be completely tested before the TCM is condemned.
Possible causes:
. Blown fuses.
. Faulty harness wiring /connections.
Effects:
Transmission default settings adopted.
. MIL illuminated.
Transmission warning lamp illuminated.
. Maximum fluid pressure available.
. Limp home mode applied.
Remedy:
Examine fuse F14 in LH heelboard fuse-box. Renew (if necessary) after determining cause of rupture.
. Repair or renew harness / connector.
KICK-DOWN SWITCH SYSTEM - P 1796
The diagnostic check on the mode switch input is a plausibility check which is performed continuously while in oper- ation. A fault is determined when kickdown is seen when the throttle angle is less than 50%. However a fault will only
be logged if the output speed is greater than 256 rpm. No fault is logged if there is already a throttle signal fault. The
kickdown switch is located on the floor under the accelerator pedal and is operated when the throttle is fully open (ap- prox 90%). It is a normally open switch with one contact permanently to ground and the other is a signal to the TCM.
The signal wire is routed through the bulkhead harness and the gearbox harness to the TCM.

8.2.1 POWERTRAIN
41-80-E TRANSMISSION, SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The electronic transmission system fitted to 6.0 liter and 4.0 liter super-charged vehicles comprises the following com- ponents:
0 Hydra-matic 4L-80-E Automatic Transmission
0 Electronic Transmission Control Module
0 Performance Mode Switch
0 Kickdown Switch
0 Gear Selection Module (illuminated)
System control is effected by the transmission control module
(TCM), located behind the passenger side fascia, which continuously monitors requests made bythe driver via the gearselector, throttle pedal etc. This data is used inconjunc- tion with the speed input from the transmission and inputs from the engine management system, to calculate optimum
shift points and control parametersfor shift pressure and ignition retardation to enhance shift quality and reduce trans- mission unit wear.
TheTCM is also able to detect faults within the system and store the relevant fault codes for interrogation with diagnos- tic equipment.
Gear shifts are controlled
by three solenoid valves, and a pressure control regulator, located on the valve block within
the transmission unit assembly. If a serious fault occurs, the TCM removes all electrical power from these valves and
the transmission system reverts to a mechanical default condition. This condition allows only mechanical selection
of reverse and one forward gear, either
third or fourth, depending on prevailing conditions at the time of the default.
The performance mode switch and kick
-down switch are used to adjust transmission operation as required by the
driver. Performance mode selection, made via a switch mounted on the selector switch surround, can be either NOR- MAL, for everyday use, or SPORT, for enhanced performance. Kick-down is activated by a switch mounted below the
accelerator pedal and is used to initiate a downward gear change, increasing torque and acceleration.
8.2.2 COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONS
Transmission Unit
The powertrain 4L-80-E transmission unit houses the two solenoid valves which control gear shifts. A pressure control
valve is also located on the solenoid valve block. These three valves initiate and control shift patterns within the trans- mission unit by regulating fluid flow.
Performance Mode Switch
The two position performance mode switch allows selection of 'sport' or 'normal' mode as required by the driver. The
switch input to TCM causes a gear shift pattern change so that gear shifts take place at higher engine revs, enhancing
performance, when in 'sport' mode. For everyday use, 'normal' mode utilises a shift pattern for optimum driver com- fort.
Kickdown Switch
The 'kick-down' facility is activated when full downward travel of the accelerator pedal occurs.
Activation of the switch provides a signal to TCM indicating that greater acceleration, and hence downward gear shifts
are required. Switch height is adjustable
so that kick-down can be achieved at a pre-determined throttle opening.
Gear Selection Illumination Module
This module is located above the gear selector mechanism and its sole purpose is to display the selected gear (in red)
on receipt of a signal from the decoder module.

Automatic Transmission (V12) Powertrain
Engine Speed
The engine speed is provided by an open collector signal supplied from the engine management control module
(ECM).
Throttle Position
This signal, from the ECM, performs the following two functions:
1.
2.
Engine Torque (and warm-up)
This signal, from the ECM, performs the following three functions:
1. During cranking to convey the completion of an engine warm
-up cycle to TCM.
2. To convey engine torque information, under normal running conditions, to TCM.
3. To convey engine torque fault signals to TCM.
Engine ‘warm
-up’ cycle commences from ignition ON until 500ms after the engine exceeds 400rpm. After this time
delay either an engine torque, or torque fault signal will be transmitted.
Transmission Input Speed
The transmission input speed sensor is mounted within the transmission housing and produces a variable frequency
signal, directly proportional to forward clutch housing rotational speed which is transmitted to the TCM. Sensor resis- tance equals 1.25kQ f 0.25.
Transmission Output Speed
The transmission output speed sensor is mounted within the transmission housing and produces a variable frequency
signal, directly proportional to the rear carrier rotational speed which is transmitted to the TCM. Sensor resistance
equals
1.25w2 + 0.25.
hake Application
When a brake application signal is received, due to brake switch operation, the torque convertor clutch lock-up sole- noid is de-energized, releasing lock-up mode if already applied
Transmission Oil Temperature
The transmission oil temperature sensor, located within the internal harness, monitors oil temperature and transmits a corresponding signal to the TCM.
To convey throttle position information to the TCM.
To indicate fault conditions between ECM and throttle potentiometer.
8.2.4.2 OUTPUTS
Gear Shift Solenoids
The two gear shift solenoids, located within the transmission housing, determine gear ratio when the selector is in any
of the forward gear positions.
Force Motor
The force motor, mounted within the transmission housing acts as a transmission torque fluid pressure regulator.
Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Solenoid
The torque converter clutch solenoid, mounted within the transmission housing, provides a direct drive from the en- gine, via the converter clutch, to the driven wheels, giving the efficiency of a manual gearbox. The solenoid also pro- vides a ’ramp‘ apply and release to engage / disengage the clutch gently.
