light switch information, refer to the wiring diagrams.

Voltage is monitored at the regulators and solenoids for continuity and shorts. For example, when a solenoid is ON the
voltage on the TCM side should be ground , when OFF the voltage should be +12.
Shift Solenoid

The function of the three soleno id valves is to control the flow of transmissi on oil to the various transmission components.
Three solenoid valves are located wi thin the transmission assembly, and are closed when not energized.
Pressure Regulator

The function of the five pressu re regulators is to modulate the oil pressure to the various transmission components. The
regulators are pulse width modulated by the TCM, switching to ground potential. The other side of the regulators being
connected, via an internal TCM relay, to battery voltage. The regulator is closed when not energized by the TCM.
Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor

1.1. The hydraulic system has 'fail-safe' characteristics regardin g its electrical operation, such that should the power
supply be lost to the electro-hydraulic actuators the transmission will initiate a limp-home mode.
2. 2. Recognition of critical shift operation by monitoring the last element in the signal path, ie the solenoid valve, and
checking by means of redundant me asured variables, ie engine speed, input speed and output speed.
3. 3. Each time the vehicle is started there is a check on the entire safety hardware and the associated program parts
and signal paths. A malfunction in this part of the system, or triggering of the safety circuit, is communicated to
the operator through the illumination of the transmission warning lamp.
TCM Inputs
Input Speed Sensor (Torque Converter Turbine)
The input speed sensor provides the TCM with transmission inpu t shaft speed information. This signal is produced from an
inductive pick-up, generating 30 pulses per revolution.
Transmission Output Speed Sensor
The output speed sensor provides the TCM with transmission ou tput shaft speed information. This signal is produced from
an inductive pick-up, generati ng 36 pulses per revolution.
Transmission Oil Temperature Sensor
A thermistor which provides an electrical indication of the oi l temperature to the TCM. The signal is measured as a voltage
with reference to analog ue ground in the TCM.
Kickdown Switch (where fitted)
Kickdown is intended to provide maximum vehicle acceleration , via the appropriate downshift(s), when the operator uses
full throttle. A kickdown switch provides an electrical signal to the TCM wh en the accelerator pedal is fully pressed. The
switch is normally open, connected to vehicle ground. Should the switch fail the TCM will detect kickdown using the
accelerator pedal position.
Throttle Pedal Stop (where fitted)
This component, used where the kickdown switch is not fitted, limits throttle pedal travel .in the same way. The kickdown
feature is retained, but is controlled by throttle position only. The pedal stop must be set, using the PDU, in the same way
as the kickdown switch to optimize performance.
Mode Selection Switch
The mode selection switch is a two position switch indicati ng to the TCM the current performance mode selected by the
driver. The switch generates a tw o-bit digital input to the TCM.
Rotary Position Switch
The rotary position switch detects the position of the transmis sion selector shaft. The switch is supplied as part of a new
transmission assembly, mounted on the transmission body. The swit ch is used to indicate to the TCM the six positions of the shaft: Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, Third and Second. The switch provides a four-bit input to the TCM.
Drive to Fourth Switch
Detects the movement of the selector lever from Drive to Fourth position. The selector cable, and therefore the transmission selector shaft, does not move as the lever is operated between these two positions. The switch is located within the 'J-gate'
assembly, producing a digital output to indicate to the TCM that the lever has moved from D to 4 .
