QUICK CONNECT FITTING
DESCRIPTION
Different types of quick-connect fittings are used to
attach various fuel system components, lines and tubes.
These are: a single-tab type, a two-tab type or a plastic
retainer ring type. Some are equipped with safety latch
clips. Some may require the use of a special tool for dis-
connection and removal. Refer to Quick-Connect Fit-
tings Removal/Installation for more information.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL
REMOVAL
The accelerator pedal is connected to the throttle
body linkage by the throttle cable. The cable is pro-
tected by a plastic sheathing and is connected to the
throttle body linkage by a ball socket. It is connected
to the accelerator pedal arm by a plastic retainer
(clip) (Fig. 16). This retainer (clip) snaps into the top
of the accelerator pedal arm. A retainer clip (Fig. 16)
is also used to fasten cable to dash panel.
CAUTION: Be careful not to damage or kink the
cable core wire (within the cable sheathing) while
servicing accelerator pedal or throttle cable.
(1) From inside vehicle, hold up accelerator pedal.
Remove plastic cable retainer (clip) and throttle cable
core wire from upper end of pedal arm. Plastic cable
retainer (clip) snaps into pedal arm.
(2) Remove accelerator pedal bracket nuts. Remove
accelerator pedal assembly.

(Fig. 8). Lubrication must be used on the quick con-
nect nuts and o-rings when installing.
DESCRIPTION - 1/2º RETURN HOSE
The fan motor return line is a molded rubber hose
that is clamped at the hydraulic motor and the power
steering reservoir (Fig. 9).
DESCRIPTION - 3/8º PRESSURE HOSE
The hose consists of two metal ends and two rub-
ber sections one of which contains a tuning cable
(Fig. 10). The hose is clipped in two places to the fan
shroud. Lubrication must be used on the o-rings
when installing.
DESCRIPTION - 3/8º GEAR OUTLET HOSE
The gear outlet line consists of a metal section that
connects to the gear and a rubber section that clamps
to the steering cooler inlet tube (Fig. 11).
DESCRIPTION - 3/8º RETURN HOSE
The return hose is a formed rubber hose that con-
nects the steering cooler outlet tube to the power
steering reservoir (Fig. 12). It is clamped at both
ends.
OPERATION
OPERATION - 1/2º PRESSURE HOSE
The 1/2º pressure hose is used to transfer high
pressure power steering fluid from the power steer-
ing pump to the engine cooling fan motor (Fig. 8).

TRANSMISSION CONTROL
RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The relay is supplied fused B+ voltage, energized
by the TCM, and is used to supply power to the sole-
noid pack when the transmission is in normal oper-
ating mode.
OPERATION
When the relay is ªoffº, no power is supplied to the
solenoid pack and the transmission is in ªlimp-inº
mode. After a controller reset, the TCM energizes the
relay. Prior to this, the TCM verifies that the con-
tacts are open by checking for no voltage at the
switched battery terminals. After this is verified, the
voltage at the solenoid pack pressure switches is
checked. After the relay is energized, the TCM mon-
itors the terminals to verify that the voltage is
greater than 3 volts.
TRANSMISSION RANGE
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) is part of
the solenoid module, which is mounted to the top of
the valve body inside the transmission.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has five
switch contact pins that:
²Determine shift lever position
²Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and
Neutral only.
²Supply +12 V to the backup lamps in Reverse
only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sen-
sor (thermistor) that communicates transmission
temperature to the TCM and PCM.
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communi-
cates shift lever position to the TCM as a combina-
tion of open and closed switches. Each shift lever
position has an assigned combination of switch states
(open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense
circuits. The TCM interprets this information and
determines the appropriate transmission gear posi-
tion and shift schedule.
There are many possible combinations of open and
closed switches (codes). Seven of these possible codes
are related to gear position and five are recognized
as ªbetween gearº codes. This results in many codes
which shouldnever occur. These are called
ªinvalidº codes. An invalid code will result in a DTC,
and the TCM will then determine the shift lever
position based on pressure switch data. This allows
reasonably normal transmission operation with a
TRS failure.

SHIFT FORKS/HUBS/SLEEVES
Check condition of the shift forks and mode fork
shift rail (Fig. 47). Minor nicks on the shift rail can
be smoothed with 320-400 grit emery cloth.
Inspect the shift fork wear pads. The mode fork
pads are serviceable and can be replaced if necessary.
The range fork pads are also serviceable.
Check both of the sleeves for wear or damage,
especially on the interior teeth. Replace the sleeves if
wear or damage is evident.
REAR RETAINER/BEARING/ SEAL/SLINGER/BOOT
Inspect the retainer components (Fig. 48). Replace
the bearing if rough or noisy. Check the retainer for
cracks or wear in the bearing bore. Clean the
retainer sealing surfaces with a scraper and 3M all
purpose cleaner. This will ensure proper adhesion of
the sealer during reassembly.
Replace the slinger and seal outright; do not reuse
either part.
Replace any part if distorted, bent, or broken. Also
replace the boot if cut or torn. Replace the boot band
clamps, do not reuse them.
