Automatic Transmission (V12) Powertrain 
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.

8.2.3 OPERATING PRlNClPL ES 
The electronic  control system  is split  into four  main functional  areas: 
0 Shift Point  Control 
0 Lock-up Control 
0 Pressure  Modulation 
0 Engine Torque  Control 
0 
Shift Point Control 
The optimum  gear ratio  is selected  as a function  of transmission  output speed,  engine  load, position  of selector  switch 
and  program  switch. 
Lock-up Control 
The torque  converter clutch  is engaged  as a function  of load,  output  speed,  gear selected  and drive program.  Lock-up 
is  possible  in second,  third and fourth  gear. Apply and  release quality is controlled by the  pulse  width  modulated  pres- 
sure regulator solenoid. 
Pressure Modulation 
Hydraulic pressure in the  transmission shift  friction elements  is accurately  matched to transmission  output torque 
using an  electrically  operated solenoid valve  to control  pressure level.  Transmission input torque is calculated  from 
an output torque  value, supplied  by EMS,  and converter  slip. 
Engine Torque Control 
Engine torque control  reduces the energy dissipated  within the system  during gear shifts.  The effect  of this control 
increase  the transmission  service life by reducing slippage  time, increases  comfort by reducing  clutch torque  trans- mission and allows  a greater transfer  of power by  the transmission unit. 
8.2.4  INPUTS / OUTPUTS 
8.2.4.1  INPUTS 
Transmission  Range 
The transmission  range is detectec ,ythe pressureswitch manifold  located within the transmission unit. The  manifold 
transmits  a coded  message  to the  TCM  indicating  gear selector  position. 
Performance Mode Select 
Performance  mode select  uses a  two wire input to the  TCM  allowing  selection  of different transmission operating 
modes. 
Line  A; Used  for selection  of traction  control shift  pattern and controlled 
by the ABS  /TC CM. 
Line 
B; Used  for selection  of 'Normal'  or 'Sports'  mode, manually  selected at a two  position  rocker switch mounted 
on  the  gear selector unit. Switch  resistance  is equal  to or greaterthan look$, open circuit and  equal to or  less  than 0.5$ closed  circuit,  measured  across contacts at  a current  of 10mA. 
Kickdown  Switch 
This signal  is controlled  by the  operation ofthe kickdown  switch on depression  of the  accelerator  pedal to its full extent. 
The  switch  remains in 'normally  open' position until  contact with the pedal closes  the contacts.  Switch resistance  is 
equal  to or  greater  than look$, open circuit,  and equal  to or  less  than 0.5$ closed  circuit, measured  across contacts at 
a  current  of 
10Ma. 
Calibration  Select 
The calibration  select input allows  identification  of different  vehicle specifications, ie 4.0 liter supercharged,  or 6.0 liter (V12). The link,  to ground,  from the TCM  is either  short or open  circuit, dependant  upon internal software calibration 
for  each  vehicle variant.

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.

Torque  Reduction and  Malfunction Indication 
This signal,  to the  ECM,  has three modes  of operation. 
1. To  indicate  normal engine operation  to the  ECM. 
2. During  gearshifts,  to request  reduction  of engine  torque 
3. During fault  conditions, to inform  the ECM. 
During normal  operation 
theTCM outputs a constant  duty cycle  signal  to the  ECM.  The signal  is changed  when torque 
reduction  is required  to indicate  to the  ECM  the degree  of ignition  retardation  necessary.  If a fault  condition,  relating 
to  OBD 
II CARB  legislation,  occurs  the TCM will transmit  a signal  to the  ECM  relating  this event.  The ECM will only 
respond  to this  signal if its duration  is 100 milli-seconds or longer. 
If the  signal  from the torque reduction line  is either HIGH or LOW for 2 or  more  seconds  the EMS will recognise  that 
a  fault  may be present and  transmit this information  to the  TCM. 
If the  signal  from the torque  reduction line lasts  for 2 or more  seconds  the EMS will return  to normal  operation. 
Sport Mode  Indicator  Lamp 
The sport  mode  indicator  lamp, mounted  on the  instrument  panel, is illuminate when  sport mode  is selected  and the 
ignition  switch is ON. Sport mode  is selected  at a two  position switch  mounted to the  rear  of the  gear  selector  assembly. 
Gearbox Failure Warning  Lamp 
The gearbox failure  warning lamp, mounted on the  instrument panel, is illuminated  when afault is  detected bytheTCM within the transmission  electrical or mechanical systems. 
Vehicle  Speed (12 cylinder  vehicles only) 
This output  signal is  calculated  from the transmission  output speed and  supplied to the  ECM  as an  indication  of vehicle 
speed.
