TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (4L30–E)
Functions of Input / Output Components
ComponentsFunction
Speed sensor
(fixed to transmission
(T/M))Senses rotation of output shaft and feeds the data to Powertrain Control Module
(PCM).
Throttle position sensor
(TPS)
(fixed to engine)Senses the extent of throttle valve opening and the speed of the throttle valve
lever motion to open the valve. Feeds the data to PCM.
I
N
Brake Switch (SW)
(fixed to brake pedal)Senses whether the driver has pressed the brake pedal or not and feeds the
information to PCM.
N-
P
U
Kickdown SW
(fixed to accelerator pedal)Senses whether the driver has pushed the accelerator pedal fully or not, and
feeds the information to PCM.
U
TMode SW (fixed to T/M)Senses the select lever position, and feeds the information to PCM.

S
I
Power drive SW
(fixed to front console)Senses whether the driver has selected the power mode, and feeds the informa-
tion to PCM.

L
Engine coolant tempera-
ture sensorSenses the engine coolant temperature, and feeds the data to PCM.
LEngine speed signalFeeds the signals monitoring engine speed to PCM from crank angle sensor.
Air conditioning informationSenses whether the air conditioner has been switched on or not, and feeds the
information to PCM.
Winter switch (fixed to front
console)Senses whether the driver has selected the winter mode, and feeds the informa-
tion to PCM.
Cruise controller * (Over-
drive OFF signal)Downshift takes place when Overdrive OFF signal is received from auto cruise
control unit.

14. Attach the compressor to the J-34992 holding
fixture and mount the compressor in a vise so that
the compressor will be in a horizontal position and
the shaft can be turned with a wrench.
15. Using a wrench, rotate the compressor crankshaft
or drive plate hub ten complete revolutions at a
speed of approximately one-revolution per second
turning the compressor at less than one-revolution
per second can result in a lower pump-up pressure
and disqualify a good pumping compressor.
16. Observe the reading on high-pressure gauge at the
completion of the tenth revolution of the
compressor. The pressure reading for a good
pumping compressor should be 690 kPa (100 psi)
or above. A pressure reading of less than 620 kPa
(90 psi) would indicate one or more suction and/or
discharge valves leaking an internal leak, or an
inoperative valve, and the refrigerant must be
recovered and the compressor disassembled and
checked for cause of leak. Repair as needed,
reassemble and repeat the pump-up test. Externally
leak test.
17. When the pressure pump-up test is completed,
recover the refrigerant from the high-side and
remove the test plate J-39893.
18. Tilt the compressor so that the compressor suction
and discharge ports are down. Drain the PAG
lubricant from the compressor.
19. Allow the compressor to drain for 10 minutes, then
refill with the proper amount of PAG lubricant, per
oil balance procedure described previously. The
PAG lubricant may be poured into the suction port.
If further assembly or processing is required, a
shipping plate or test plate J-39893 should be
installed to keep out air, dirt and moisture until the
compressor is installed.
