Poor Fuel Economy Symptom
StepActionValue(s)Ye sNo
1DEFINITION:
Fuel economy, as measured by an actual road test, is
noticeably lower than expected. Also, economy is
noticeably lower than it was on this vehicle at one time,
as previously shown by an actual road test. (Larger than
standard tires will cause odometer readings to be
incorrect, and that may cause fuel economy to appear
poor when it is actually normal.)

TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (4L30±E)
Conditions For Clearing The DTC/CHECK
TRANS Lamp
The PCM will turn ªoffº the CHECK TRANS Lamp
after three consecutive ignition cycles without a
failure reported.
The DTC can be cleared from PCM memory by using
a scan tool.
The DTC can also be cleared from memory when the
vehicle has made 40 warmup cycles without a failure
reported.
The PCM will cancel the DTC Actions Taken items
when the fault conditions no longer exist and the
ignition is cycles ªoffº long enough to power down the
PCM.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for intermittent output speed sensor circuit
problems.
Check for possible incorrect calibration. (PCM part
No., tire specification, and rear axle ratio)
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic chart:
3. This step checks for possible low fluid level causing
slipping resulting in an undefined gear ratio.
4. This step checks for correct gear ratios for
commanded gears.
5. This step checks for low line pressure.

31. Install the scan tool.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ªonº position.
3. Engine not running.
NOTE: Before clearing DTC(s) use the scan tool to record the
ªFailure Recordsº for reference, as data will be lost when the ªClear
Infoº function is used.
4. Record the Failure Record data.
5. Use the scan tool snapshot mode to record transmission gear
ratios.
6. Drive vehicle in transmission gear ranges 1, 2, 3, and D with
the engine speed is greater than 3,500 rpm for 5.5 seconds.
7. Record each transmission gear.
1st:2.73 ± 2.99
2nd:1.54 ± 1.71
3rd:0.93 ± 1.05
4th:0.66 ± 0.78

1. Use a straight edge and a feeler gauge to measure
the pressure plate friction surface flatness in four
directions.
2. If any of the measured values exceeds the specified
limit, the pressure plate must be replaced.

Limit: 0.3 mm (0.012 in)
Clutch Cover

1. Visually check the entire clutch cover for excessive
wear, cracking, and other damage.
2. The clutch cover must be replaced if any of these
conditions are present.

1. Invert the pressure plate assembly.2. Place a new driven plate over the pressure plate. A
metal sheet with ªAº thickness of 8.3 mm (0.327 in)
may be used in place of the driven plate.
3. Compress the pressure plate assembly until the
distance ªBº becomes 12 mm (0.472 in).
4. Note the pressure gauge reading.
5. If the measured value is less than the specified limit,
the pressure plate assembly must be replaced.

1. Place a new driven plate or a 8.3 mm (0.327 in)
spacer beneath the pressure plate.
2. Fully compress the pressure plate and diaphragm
spring.
3. There are two ways to do this.
4. Use a bench press to press down on the assembly
from the top.
5. Tighten the fixing bolts.
NOTE: Preload on diaphragm spring finger must be 49 ±
98 N (11 ± 22 lb) in direction of release, when clutch cover
assembly is bolted to the flywheel.
6. Measure the spring height from base to spring tip ªAº.
If the measured value exceeds the specified limit, the
pressure plate assembly must be replaced.
