8.1.1 ZF 4HP 24 E TRANSMISSION,  SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 
The electronic  transmission  system fitted to normally  aspirated  4.0 liter  vehicles comprises the  following components: 
0 ZF 4HP 24 E Automatic  Transmission 
0 Rotary selector  switch 
0 Electronic Transmission  Control Module 
0 Decoder Module 
0 Performance  Mode Switch 
0 Kickdown Switch 
0 Gear Selection Illumination Module 
System  control is effected  by the transmission control module  (TCM), located  behind the  passenger side fascia,  which 
continuously monitors  requests made by the drivervia the  gearselector, throttle pedal etc. This  data  is used 
inconiunc- 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 decoder  module receives  inputs from the rotary switch  and decodes these  to drive  one of six possible outputs, 
illuminating  the correct  gear indicator on  the gear  selector  illumination  module. 
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  gear selector mechanism surround,  can  be 
either  NORMAL,  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. 
8.1.2 COMPONENT DESCRlPTIONS 
Transmission  Unit 
The ZF 4HP  24 E automatic transmission unit  houses the three  solenoid  valves which control  gear shifts.  A pressure 
control  valve is  also located  on the solenoid valve  block. These four valves  initiate  and control shift  patterns within 
the transmission  unit by regulating  fluid flow. 
Rotary Selector  Switch 
The seven position rotary  gear selector  switch is mounted  on the  LH side  of the transmission  unit and indicates  gear 
selection  to the  TCM  and decoder  module. 
Transmission  Control Module 
The electronic  transmission control module  regulates gear changes  by controlling the operation of the transmission 
unit solenoid  valves, and monitoring  the state  of other  vehicle systems  which have an effect on  torque demand,  vehicle 
speed  etc. The module  also interfaces  with the engine management  system, climate control  system, body processor 
unit  and ABS 
I traction control  system. 
Connections  from the TCM  are listed on the  following page.

8.1.4 FA U1 T DIAGNOSIS 
Transmission  Control System Electrical - P 0702 (Fig. 1) 
This fault  code  is associated  with the internal relay of the  Transmission Control Module, (TCM). This relay  provides a 
means  of isolating the  electro-mechanical, controlling, solenoids from the supply,  allowing the transmission  to revert 
to a mechanical  default condition. 
The  relay and  associated  circuitry is tested once during initialization  and whenever 
a hardware reset occurs. When  the 
ignition  is first  switched on the  TCM carries  out an initialization routine. During  this routine the  processor drives the 
relay 
ON then  tests  for the  supply voltage  on the output via a feedback  path. If the supply voltage  is not  seen  within 
a  specific  time then 
a fault  is flagged  and the TCM  will run in default mode  and this fault  code  will be stored. 
A set  time  after the relay is turned  on, it is turned off and  the processor  then tests  for the supply  again. If it is still  present, 
then the  TCM will run in default mode and this fault  code will be stored. 
U: The  ignition  supply voltage  must be greater  than 8V for a fault code  to be  stored. If this  fault is permanently 
flagged,  the TCM  should  be replaced  taking care to obtain the correctly programmed variant. 
Possible causes: 
Faulty  TCM internal  relay. 
Effects: 
. MIL illuminated. 
. Transmission  warning lamp illuminated. 
. Maximum fluid pressure  applied. 
Limp home mode  applied. 
. RenewTCM.

TRANSMISSION  RANGE SENSOR - P 0705 / P 0706 
The rotary switch  is located on the  LH side  of the  transmission.  The harness incorporates  the transmission  wiring and 
runs  into the car through  the a hole in the  LH side  of the  tunnel.  The connectors GBOOI and GB002 are located  on the 
side  of the  selector mechanism ‘J’ gate  assembly. 
TRANSMISSION  RANGE SENSOR  CIRCUIT - P 0705 
This test is  performed continuously  by the  background diagnostics  during operation.  The test  is a plausibility  check 
on  the 3 bit  Gray  code.  The test criteria is  that an invalid code must not be  seen. If a Z code is  seen for more than looms, 
then this fault  code will be stored and  the transmission  will adopt  the default function. 
TRANSMISSION  RANGE SENSOR  CIRCUIT RANGE/  PERFORMANCE - P 0706 
This is a plausibilitycheck on the 3 bit Gray  code  which  is only  performed  once during  cranking when  the engine  speed 
reaches 
a specific threshold. If the  gear  is not  P or N  when this test  is performed,  then this fault code  will be flagged 
and  the transmission  will adopt  the default function.

TRANSMISSION  FLUID TEMPERATURE  SENSOR INPUTS P 0712 / P 0713 
The transmission  fluid temperature  sensor is a positive  temperature coefficient  thermistor bead, located in the internal 
wiring  harness  of the transmission assembly  and immersed in the transmission  fluid in the unit  sump.  The wiring  is 
taken  out through  the transmission connector and  runs through the rotary switch and  then into the gearbox  harness 
to  the  TCM.  The pin outs  on the  relevant parts  are as follows.

TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE  SENSOR LOW INPUT- P 0712 
This input  is continuously  monitored during initialization  and operation by the  processor  and is checked against spe- cific  limits  to be  in range. If the  temperature indicated by  the sensor  is too low then this fault  code will be stored and 
the  processor  will use a substitute value  for the transmission  oil temperature. 
The  low limit  is approximately 
-50" C. This  fault  would  indicate  that the output signal line  (Pin 46) is probably short 
circuit  to ground. 
TRANSMISSION  FLUID TEMPERATURE  SENSOR HIGH INPUT- P 0713 
This input  is continuously  monitored during initialization  and operation by the processor and is checked against  spe- cific limits to  be in range. If the  temperature indicated by  the sensor  is too high  then this fault  code  will be stored and 
the  processor  will use a substitute value  for the transmission  oil temperature.  The high  limit is approximately 185" C. 
This fault  would  indicate  that the input  signal  line (Pin 46) is probably open  circuit or short circuit  to battery  positive 
voltage (+I2 nominal). 
Possible causes: 
. Faulty  sensor. 
. Faulty harness  wiring or connection  to sensor. 
Effects: 
. Substitute  oil temperature adopted by  TCM. 
Remedy: 
Renew internal  harness. 
. Repair or renew  harness I connectors.
