12.65.54, in this Section
Input speed is monitored by the TCM with a rationality check being made against output speed. A fault will be flagged if the
indicated input speed exceeds 7400 rpm. Additionally, a failure judgement will be made if the indicated input speed is <160
rpm with engine speed >608 rpm and output speed >224 rpm
The procedure is similar for the output sp eed diagnostic. A fault (non OBDII) will be flagged if the indicated input speed
exceeds 6712 rpm. Additionally a failure judgement will be ma de if the indicated output speed is <160 rpm and the average
road wheel speed exceeds 100 rpm.
Under normal circumstance s after the output speed diagnost ic fault code has been set, the TCM uses rear wheel speed
information to compute its calculations, this has no effect on transmission operation. However, should a second fault occur,
in the ABS system, thus making rear wheel speed information unavailable, an additional fault code will be logged.
Control Systems
Introduction
Gear selection is achieved by controlling the flow of transmission fluid to internal multi-disc clutches.
The three solenoid valves direct the transmission fluid flow to the selected clutches and the pressure regulators control the
fluid pressure to each component. One pr essure regulator serves as a master pressure control for the entire system and a
second is used exclusively for torque converter clutch lock-up operation.
The TCM controls the internal components thus determining gear selection and shift pattern.
In the event of an electronic system fault the basic function s Park, Reverse Neutral and Drive Fourth are retained by the
hydraulic system.
Transmission Control Module (TCM)
The TCM is located in the same housing as th e ECM and is accessed in the same manner.
The TCM performs several 'self check' procedur es to ensure correct operation. It is possible due to the nature of these faults
that the module will fail to communicate with other nodes. However, condemnation of the TCM should not take place until
any CAN or power supply related problems have been resolved.
There are three self check procedures for the TCM. 1. 1. Check on ROM by calculatin
g a checksum and comparing this with a known stored value.

Emergency Running (elect ronic limp-home mode)
The TCM constantly monitors the transmissi on for faults. In the event of a problem the TCM will adopt the limp-home mode, in which the gear currently held remains engaged, until P is selected. The modulati ng and shift pressures will increase to
maximum and converter lock-up will be inhibited.
Following the selection of P , the only ratios available will be 2 (irrespective of forward ratio manual selection) and R .
With the vehicle at rest, the procedure to manually select is as follows:
1. 1. Select P .
Is hard-wired to the transmission control module.
Kickdown Switch (where fitted)
The kickdown switch:
Is floor mounted under the accelerator pedal. Is operated by pressing the pedal to the full throttle position. Provides maximum acceleration on driver demand, by signal ling the transmission control module to select the lowest gear to give maximum wheel torque.
Transmission Unit Gear Selector
The gear selector at the transmission unit:
Is connected to the driver's selector module by a Bowden cable. Operates the manual selector valve, which is part of the electro-hydraulic control unit. Operates the rotary switch, which is connected to the transmission control module.
