OPERATION - IGNITION CIRCUIT SENSE
The ignition circuit sense input tells the PCM the
ignition switch has energized the ignition circuit.
Battery voltage is also supplied to the PCM
through the ignition switch when the ignition is in
the RUN or START position. This is referred to as
the9ignition sense9circuit and is used to9wake up9
the PCM. Voltage on the ignition input can be as low
as 6 volts and the PCM will still function. Voltage is
supplied to this circuit to power the PCM's 8-volt reg-
ulator and to allow the PCM to perform fuel, ignition
and emissions control functions.

TRANSFER CASE CONTROL
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) (Fig. 9)
is a microprocessor-based assembly, controlling the
4X4 transfer case shift functions via the actuation of
a shift motor and utilizing the feedback of a mode
sensor assembly. Communication is via the PCI serial
bus. Inputs include user selectable 4X4 modes that
include 2WD, 4HI, 4LO, and Neutral. The logic and
driver circuitry is contained in a molded plastic hous-
ing with an embedded heat-sink and is located
behind the left side of the lower instrument panel.
OPERATION
The Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) utilizes
the input from the transfer case mounted mode sen-
sor, the instrument panel mounted selector switch,
and the following information from the vehicle's PCI
serial bus to determine if a shift is allowed.

²Diagnostic Requests
²Manual Transmission and Brake Applied
²PRNDL
²Ignition Status
²ABS Messages
Once the TCCM determines that a requested shift
is allowed, it actuates the bi-directional shift motor
as necessary to achieve the desired transfer case
operating mode. The TCCM also monitors the mode
sensor while controlling the shift motor to determine
the status of the shift attempt.
Several items can cause the requested shift not to
be completed. If the TCCM has recognized a fault
(DTC) of some variety, it will begin operation in one
of four Functionality Levels. These levels are:
²Level Zero- Normal Operation.
²Level One- Only Mode Shifts Are Allowed.
²Level Two- Only Mode Shifts and Shifts Into
LOW Are Allowed (No Neutral Shifts Are Allowed).
²Level Three- No Shifts Are Allowed
The TCCM can also be operating in one of three
possible power modes. These power modes are:
²Full Power Modeis the normal operational
mode of the module. This mode is achieved by normal
PCI bus traffic being present and the ignition being
in the RUN position.
²Reduced Power Modewill be entered when
the ignition has been powered off. In this state, the
module will shut down power supplied to external
devices, and to electronic interface inputs and out-
puts. From this state the module can enter either
Sleep Mode or Full Power Mode. To enter this mode,
the module must receive an ignition message denot-
ing that the ignition is off, or not receive any mes-
sages for 5  0.5 seconds. To exit this mode, themodule must receive one ignition message that
denotes that the ignition is in the RUN position.
²Sleep Modewill be entered, from the Reduced
Power Mode, when no PCI traffic has been sensed for
20  1 seconds. If during Sleep Mode the module
detects PCI bus traffic, it will revert to the Reduced
Power mode while monitoring for ignition messages.
It will remain in this state as long as there is traffic
other than run or start messages, and will return to
Sleep mode if the bus goes without traffic for 20  1
seconds.
SHIFT REQUIREMENTS
If the TCCM is in full power mode and at function-
ality level zero, it uses the following criteria to deter-
mine if a shift is allowed.
If any of the driver controllable conditions are not
met once the shift request is recognized, the TCCM
will solidly illuminate the source position's LED and
flash the desired position's LED for all shifts except
NEUTRAL. The NEUTRAL shift LED strategy will
be discussed later.
Mode shiftswill be allowed regardless of trans-
mission gear or vehicle speed, whenever the following
conditions are met:
²Front and rear wheel speed are within 21 km/hr
(13 mph).
²A change in the Selector switch state indicates
that a mode shift has been requested.
²A valid mode sensor signal is being sensed by
the TCCM.
²Proper transmit/receive messages are occurring
on the PCI bus.
²Ignition key switch is in the RUN position.
Range shiftswill be allowed only if all of the fol-
lowing conditions are met:
²Front and rear wheel speed are within 21 km/hr
(13 mph).
²A change in the Selector Switch state indicating
a range shift has been requested.
²Transmission in NEUTRAL signal must be rec-
ognized for at least 1.5 seconds  100 msec. (Automat-
ic transmissions only)
²Proper transmit/receive messages are occurring
on the PCI bus.
²Clutch signal is recognized for 500 msec   50
msec (Manual transmissions only).
²Vehicle speed is less than or equal to 4.8 km/hr
(3 miles per hour).
²Ignition key switch is in the RUN position.
²A valid mode sensor signal is being sensed by
the TCCM.
Ashift into transfer case Neutralwill be
allowed only if all of the following conditions are met:
²Front and rear wheel speed are within 21 km/hr
(13 mph).

SHIFT SEQUENCES
Once all the driver controllable conditions for the
requested shift have been met, the TCCM begins a
shift timer with a maximum duration of 1 second per
'D' channel transition. If the shift timer expires
before the TCCM recognizes to correct mode sensor
code, the shift is considered to have been blocked.
The blocked shift will increment the blocked shift
counter by one. The TCCM strategy for handling
blocked shifts will be described later. The process the
TCCM performs for the various shifts will be
described first.
RANGE AND MODE SHIFTS
The process for performing all the range and mode
shifts are the same. The following steps describe the
process.
²Allow time for Selector Switch debounce; 250
msec  50 msec.²Extinguish the source gear's LED while flashing
desired transfer case position's LED.
²Engage the shift motor for a maximum of 1 sec-
ond  100 msec per 'D' channel transition in the des-
tination gear's direction while monitoring the mode
sensor channel transitions.
²Disengage the shift motor when the correct
mode sensor code is recognized.
²Solidly illuminate the selected gear's LED.
²Transmit a bus message that the transfer case
shift is complete.
²If the desired mode sensor code is not received
after the shift timer expires (ie. a blocked or other
condition exists), stop driving the motor and wait for
200 msec  50 msec. The shift motor is then reversed
in the direction back toward the source gear for up to
1.0 seconds  100 msec. per 'D' channel. The TCCM
waits for 2.0 seconds  50 msec. and repeats the
attempt to shift to the desired position.
The exception to the preceding sequence is when a
shift from 4L to 2WD/AWD is requested. If 2WD/
AWD is requested from the 4L position, the transfer
case is first driven to the 4H position. If the 4H posi-
tion is reached, the transfer case is then driven back
to the 2WD/AWD position and the shift is considered
complete. If the transfer case does not reach any the
4H position, but is in the 2WD/AWD 'D' channel, or
the 2WD/AWD between gear position on the 4H side
of 2WD/AWD, the shift is also considered complete.
SHIFT OUT OF NEUTRAL
²Extinguish the Neutral LED.
²Engage the shift motor for a maximum of 1 sec-
ond  100 msec toward the transfer case 4H mode
position while monitoring the mode sensor channel
transitions.
²Disengage the shift motor when the correct
mode sensor code is recognized.
²Extinguish the Neutral LED.
²Transmit a bus message that the transfer case
shift is complete.
²If the desired mode sensor code is not received
after the shift timer expires (ie. a blocked or other
condition exists), stop driving the motor and wait for
200 msec  50 msec. The shift motor is then reversed
in the direction back toward the source gear for up to
1.0 seconds 100 msec. The TCCM waits for 2.0 sec-
onds  50 msec. and repeats the attempt to shift to
the desired position.
²When the Neutral button is released, if the 4H
position is the desired position, the shift is complete.
Illuminate the 4H LED.
²Otherwise when the Neutral button is released,
if all of the shift requirements are being met then
engage the shift motor towards the desired position
for 1 second  100 msec per 'D' channel. (if require-

ments for shifting are not met, illuminate the 4H
LED and flash the destination LED as an indication
to the driver that all of the driver controllable shift
conditions are not being met). If this requires
another range or mode shift, begin the range/mode
shift process.
²If the desired mode sensor code is not received
after the shift timer expires (i.e. a blocked or other
condition exists), refer to the section on Blocked Shift
Strategy.
BLOCKED SHIFT STRATEGY
When a shift is commanded, the shift motor will be
driven towards its destination position, except in the
case of shifting out of Neutral if 4L was selected (the
transfer case will shift to the 4H position first, before
proceeding to 4L). If the shift is blocked on the way
to the destination, the TCCM may attempt to drive
the motor back to the original position. This process
will be allowed to occur 5 times. If the transfer case
has reached a non-NEUTRAL 'D' channel during the
shift re-attempts, the LED for the achieved gear posi-
tion is illuminated and the shift attempts are
stopped. To re-attempt the desired shift, the selector
switch will need to be rotated to the current position
until the switch debounce timer expires then a shift
will need to be requested again.
At the end of the 5th blocked attempt, the shift
motor is driven towards the last known 'D' channel
position. If this motor drive allows the transfer case
to reach the 2WD/AWD 'D' channel, or the 2WD/AWD
between gear position on the 4H side of 2WD/AWD,
the shift is considered complete and the shift
attempts are ended.
If the mode sensor is in the NEUTRAL region at
the expiration of the shift timer, the TCCM will con-
tinue to make the shift attempts according to the
blocked shift strategy independent of whether or not
the driver controlled conditions are met.
For shifts from NEUTRAL, if all 5 attempts fail to
reach the desired position (which by default is 4H),
the motor will be driven to stall in the direction of
4H or 4L, depending on the achieved position. If the
transfer case has reached the 2WD/AWD or 4L
between gear position nearest the NEUTRAL posi-
tions and the shift conditions are no longer being
met, the transfer case will be driven toward the cor-
responding 'D' channel. Otherwise, the transfer case
will be driven in the direction opposite the last
attempt with the desired target being 4H or 4L.
If the transfer case reaches the 2WD/AWD 'D'
channel when being driven in the 4H direction, then
one final 1.0 second drive toward 4H is attempted. If
the transfer case then reaches any of the 4H posi-
tions, the shift is considered complete and the 4H
LED is illuminated. If the transfer case is still the2WD/AWD position, the shift is considered complete
and the 2WD/AWD LED is illuminated.
NOTE: If after the 5th blocked shift and reversal
attempt, if the transfer case position is in the NEU-
TRAL region, shift attempts will continue until a
non-NEUTRAL 'D' channel is reached.
SHIFT REVERSAL TARGETS
If the shift timer expires (1 second per 'D' channel)
and the transfer case has not reached the desired
position, all shifts will attempt to return to their
original position with the exceptions of:
²If the intended shift is going to the High rail
from Low and can't make it, but it can make the
2WD/AWD position, the motor stops at that position.
The TCCM will not attempt to cross back over NEU-
TRAL if it does not have to. This means that there
was a block on the first attempt to go to 4H and the
transfer case has made it through NEUTRAL to a
known good position, then the motor will go back
only to the 2WD/4WD position and execute the
remainder of the attempts from there.
²For shifts out of NEUTRAL, any time a shift is
commanded out of NEUTRAL, the system needs to
get out. The TCCM should never go to NEUTRAL
unless the driver is commanding it and all required
conditions are being met
ENCODER DRIFT CORRECTION
Whenever a shift is completed, the TCCM stores
the position in memory as the transfer case's
intended position. The TCCM continuously monitors
the mode sensor and if the mode sensor drifts toward
into a NEUTRAL region sensor position for 2.0 sec-
onds, the TCCM will perform a motor drive to correct
the drift. The transfer case will be driven toward the
intended position for 1.0 seconds 100 msec. The
TCCM will wait for 2.0 seconds  50 msec. and repeat
the attempt to shift to the desired position. This will
continue until the intended position is reached.
SHIFT MOTOR BRAKING
Two modes of shift motor braking are employed to
improve shift performance, static and dynamic. Static
shift motor braking is utilized under the following
conditions:
²Whenever the transfer case is in the 2WD/AWD
or 4L 'D' channel position.
²Whenever an invalid mode sensor code is
present.
Static motor braking is achieved by applying +12V
on both shift motor wires.
NOTE: Static Shift Motor Braking is independent of
ignition key position.
8E - 18 ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULESDR
TRANSFER CASE CONTROL MODULE (Continued)

SHIFT ATTEMPT LIMIT
To protect the transfer case system, the TCCM will
impose a limit on the number of shifts that can occur
over a calibrated time period. The system will monitor
the number of 'D' channel segment transitions that
occur in any 30 second time period. If the number of
segment transitions is 30 or greater, the system will go
into a default mode. The default mode of operation for
shifting is that the number of allowed 'D' channel tran-
sitions permitted to occur will be 3 over each 15 second
 100 msec calibrated window of time. After 5 minutes
 100 msec, the motor can be assumed to have cooled
down and the system will revert to normal operation.
The following rules also apply to the shift limit:
²The attempt limit will not prevent shifts coming
out of NEUTRAL, they will be allowed regardless of
the counter/timer.
²Any shift that is in progress when the counter
reaches a maximum count in time will be allowed to
complete before the default mode is entered. D-chan-
nel transitions during this period will not be counted
towards the default mode limit.
²A block, regardless of the direction, whether
towards destination or back towards reversal target
(shift timer expiring), will count as a value of 2 tran-
sitions towards the 30 segment transitions to go into
default mode as defined above. Current attempt limit
values are 30 transitions in 30 seconds and default
mode values are 3 transitions every 15 seconds for 5
minutes.
TRANSMISSION CONTROL
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) (Fig. 10)
may be sub-module within the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) or a standalone module, depending on
the vehicle engine. The PCM, and TCM when
equipped, is located at the right rear of the engine
compartment, near the right inner fender.
OPERATION
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) controls
all electronic operations of the transmission. The
TCM receives information regarding vehicle opera-
tion from both direct and indirect inputs, and selects
the operational mode of the transmission. Direct
inputs are hardwired to, and used specifically by the
TCM. Indirect inputs are shared with the TCM via
the vehicle communication bus.
Some examples ofdirect inputsto the TCM are:
²Battery (B+) voltage
²Ignition ªONº voltage
²Transmission Control Relay (Switched B+)²Throttle Position Sensor
²Crankshaft Position Sensor
²Transmission Range Sensor
²Pressure Switches
²Transmission Temperature Sensor
²Input Shaft Speed Sensor
²Output Shaft Speed Sensor
²Line Pressure Sensor
Some examples ofindirect inputsto the TCM are:
²Engine/Body Identification
²Manifold Pressure
²Target Idle
²Torque Reduction Confirmation
²Engine Coolant Temperature
²Ambient/Battery Temperature
²DRBIIItScan Tool Communication
Based on the information received from these var-
ious inputs, the TCM determines the appropriate
shift schedule and shift points, depending on the
present operating conditions and driver demand.
This is possible through the control of various direct
and indirect outputs.
Some examples of TCMdirect outputsare:
²Transmission Control Relay
²Solenoids
²Torque Reduction Request
Some examples of TCMindirect outputsare:
²Transmission Temperature (to PCM)
²PRNDL Position (to BCM)
In addition to monitoring inputs and controlling
outputs, the TCM has other important responsibili-
ties and functions:
²Storing and maintaining Clutch Volume Indexes
(CVI)
²
Storing and selecting appropriate Shift Schedules
²System self-diagnostics
²Diagnostic capabilities (with DRBIIItscan tool)

NOTE: If the TCM has been replaced, the ªQuick Learn
Procedureº must be performed. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/TRANSMIS-
SION CONTROL MODULE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
BATTERY FEED
A fused, direct battery feed to the TCM is used for
continuous power. This battery voltage is necessary
to retain memory in the TCM. When the battery (B+)
is disconnected, this memory is lost. When the bat-
tery (B+) is restored, this memory loss is detected by
the TCM and a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is set.
CLUTCH VOLUME INDEXES (CVI)
An important function of the TCM is to monitor
Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI). CVIs represent the vol-
ume of fluid needed to compress a clutch pack.
The TCM monitors gear ratio changes by monitor-
ing the Input and Output Speed Sensors. The Input,
or Turbine Speed Sensor sends an electrical signal to
the TCM that represents input shaft rpm. The Out-
put Speed Sensor provides the TCM with output
shaft speed information.
By comparing the two inputs, the TCM can deter-
mine transmission gear position. This is important to
the CVI calculation because the TCM determines
CVIs by monitoring how long it takes for a gear
change to occur (Fig. 11).
Gear ratios can be determined by using the
DRBIIItScan Tool and reading the Input/Output
Speed Sensor values in the ªMonitorsº display. Gear
ratio can be obtained by dividing the Input Speed
Sensor value by the Output Speed Sensor value.
For example, if the input shaft is rotating at 1000
rpm and the output shaft is rotating at 500 rpm,
then the TCM can determine that the gear ratio is
2:1. In direct drive (3rd gear), the gear ratio changes
to 1:1. The gear ratio changes as clutches are applied
and released. By monitoring the length of time it
takes for the gear ratio to change following a shift
request, the TCM can determine the volume of fluid
used to apply or release a friction element.
The volume of transmission fluid needed to apply
the friction elements are continuously updated for
adaptive controls. As friction material wears, the vol-
ume of fluid need to apply the element increases.
Certain mechanical problems within the input
clutch assembly can cause inadequate or out-of-range
element volumes. Also, defective Input/Output Speed
Sensors and wiring can cause these conditions. The
following chart identifies the appropriate clutch vol-
umes and when they are monitored/updated:

SHIFT SCHEDULES
As mentioned earlier, the TCM has programming that
allows it to select a variety of shift schedules. Shift
schedule selection is dependent on the following:
²Shift lever position
²Throttle position
²Engine load
²Fluid temperature
²Software level
As driving conditions change, the TCM appropri-
ately adjusts the shift schedule. Refer to the follow-
ing chart to determine the appropriate operation
expected, depending on driving conditions.

BATTERY TRAY
DESCRIPTION
The molded plastic tray battery tray is located in
the left front corner of the engine compartment. On
this model, the battery tray also provides an anchor
point for the anti-lock brake controller, cruise control
servo (if equipped) and the integrated power module
(Fig. 15). The battery hold down hardware is con-
tained within the battery tray. A hole in the bottom
of the battery tray is fitted with a battery tempera-
ture sensor. Refer to Charging System for more infor-
mation on the battery temperature sensor.
OPERATION
The battery tray and the battery hold down hard-
ware combine to secure and stabilize the battery in
the engine compartment, which prevents battery
movement during even the most extreme vehicle
operation. Unrestrained battery movement during
vehicle operation could result in damage to the vehi-
cle, the battery, or both.
