1.0 INTRODUCTION
The procedures contained in this manual include
all of the specifications, instructions, and graphics
needed to diagnose 41TE/AE Electronic Automatic
Transaxle (EATX) problems. The diagnostics in this
manual are based on the failure condition or symp-
tom being present at the time of diagnosis.
When repairs are required, refer to the appropri-
ate volume of the service manual for the proper
removal and repair procedure.
Diagnostic procedures change every year. New
diagnostic systems may be added and/or carryover
systems may be enhanced. READ THIS MANUAL
BEFORE TRYING TO DIAGNOSE A VEHICLE
TROUBLE CODE. It is recommended that you
review the entire manual to become familiar with
all new and changed diagnostic procedures.
This book reflects many suggested changes from
readers of past issues. After using this book, if you
have any comments or recommendations, please fill
out the form at the back of the book and mail it back
to us.
1.1 SYSTEM COVERAGE
This diagnostic procedures manual covers all
2001 RG equipped with a 41TE/AE transaxle.
1.2 SIX -STEP TROUBLESHOOTING
PROCEDURE
Diagnosis of the 41TE/AE electronic transaxle is
done in six basic steps:
verification of complaint
verification of any related symptoms
symptom analysis
problem isolation
repair of isolated problem
verification of proper operation
2.0 IDENTIFICATION OF
SYSTEM
RG series vehicles equipped with a 4 speed trans-
mission.
3.0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND
FUNCTIONAL OPERATION
3.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 41TE/AE electronic transaxle is a conven-
tional transaxle in that it uses hydraulically ap-
plied clutches to shift a planetary gear train. How-
ever, the electronic control system replaces many of
the mechanical and hydraulic components used in
conventional transmission valve bodies.
3.2 FUNCTIONAL OPERATION
The 41TE/AE electronic transaxle has a fully
adaptive control system. The system performs it's
functions based on continuous real-time sensor
feedback information. The control system automat-
ically adapts to changes in engine performance and
friction element variations to provide consistent
shift quality. The control system ensures that clutch
operation during upshifting and downshifting is
more responsive without increased harshness.
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) contin-
uously checks for electrical problems, mechanical
problems, and some hydraulic problems. When a
problem is sensed, the TCM stores a diagnostic
trouble code. Some of these codes cause the tran-
saxle to go into limp-in or default mode.
While in this mode, electrical power is taken
away from the transaxle via the TCM, de-
energizing the transmission control relay, and tak-
ing power from the solenoid pack. When this hap-
pens, the only transaxle mechanical functions are:
Park and Neutral
Reverse
Second Gear
No upshifts or downshifts are possible. The posi-
tion of the manual valve alone allows the three
ranges that are available. Although vehicle perfor-
mance is seriously degraded while in this mode, it
allows the owner to drive the vehicle in for service.
Once the DRBIIItis in the EATX portion of the
diagnostic program, it constantly monitors the
TCM to see if the system is in limp-in mode. If the
transaxle is in limp-in mode, the DRBIIIž will flash
the red LED.
3.2.1 AUTOSTICK FEATURE
This feature allows the driver to manually shift
the transaxle when the shift lever is pulled back
into the AutoStick position. When in AutoStick
mode, the instrument cluster displays the current
gear.

6.2 DEFINITIONS
OBDII (EURO STAGE III OBD) Trip - A vehicle
start and drive cycle such that all once per trip
diagnostic monitors have run.
Key Start - A vehicle start and run cycle of at least
20 seconds.
Warm-up Cycle - A vehicle start and run cycle
such that the engine coolant must rise to at least
71C (160ÉF) and must rise by at least 4.4C (40ÉF)
from initial start up. To count as a warm-up cycle,
no DTC may occur during the cycle.
