7A2-2 TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (AW30 –40LE) (V6 3.5L)
Service Precaution
WARNING: THIS VEHICLE HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS). REFER TO THE SRS
COMPONENT AND WIRING LOCATION VIEW IN
ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU ARE
PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS
COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING. WHEN YOU
ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE
SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING, REFE
R
TO THE SRS SERVICE INFORMATION. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN
POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL
INJURY, OR OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM
REPAIRS.
CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the
proper location. When you replace a fastener, use
ONLY the exact part number for that application.
ISUZU will call out those fasteners that require a
replacement after removal. ISUZU will also call out
the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread
sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not
use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, o
r
other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or
fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings
adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint
clamping force, and may damage the fastener.
When you install fasteners, use the correct
tightening sequence and specifications. Following
these instructions can help you avoid damage to
parts and systems.
General Description
The AW30-40LE is a 4–speed fully automatic
transmission. It uses a microcomputer as a control unit
to judge running conditions including throttle opening
rate and vehicle speed, then it sets the shifting point in
the optimum timing so that best driving performance
can be achieved.
In addition, the built–in shift mode select function can
select three shift modes according to the driver's
preference:
Normal mode –Normal shift pattern.
3rd Start mode –Starts in 3rd gear to reduce
slippage on ice or snow.
Power mode has a delayed up shift when more
powerful acceleration is required.
Also, the built–in fail–safe function (“backup mode")
assures driving performance even if the vehicle speed
sensor, throttle signal or any solenoid fails.
Further, the self–diagnostic function conducts diagnosis
in a short time when the control system fails, thus
improving serviceability.
The major features of AW30-40LE are as follows:
A compact structure consisting of 2 sets of planetary
gears and flat torque converter.
Electronic control selects the optimum shift mode according to the driving conditions.
Electronic control maintains the optimum hydraulic
pressure for clutch, band brake as well as
transmission so that shift feeling is improved.
Two sets of planetary gears reduce friction of powe
r
train.
Also, a lockup mechanism in the torque converter
reduces fuel consumption.
Wide gear ratio and high torque rate of torque
converter provide excellent starting performance.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (AW30–40LE) (V6 3.5L) 7A2-37
DTC P0602 (FLASHING CODE 63) Transmission Control Module (TCM)
Programming Error
Circuit Description
The Service Programming System (SPS) updates the
flash calibration files that are stored in a Transmission
Control Module (TCM). The calibration file
custom-tailors a module to a certain vehicle. The
calibration file contains data for things such as spark
curves and fuel control. When troubleshooting a
driveability problem, diagnosis may call fo
r
reprogramming the controller with newer calibration
information to correct a customer concern and Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN).
Condition for setting the DTC
When the TCM is not written VIN No.
Action Taken When The DTC Sets
DTC stored.
Conditions For Clearing The DTC
The DTC can be cleared from the TCM history by
using a scan tool.
The DTC will be cleared from history when the
vehicle has achieved 40 warm-up cycles without a
failure reported.
After more than 1 second has elapsed after the
ignition key has been turned “ON", short between
No.11 and No.4 (ground) of DLC (Data Link
Connector). Then, after 1 second, but within 6
seconds, discontinue shorting.
Diagnostic Aids
DTC P0602 is indicated when the TCM does not written
VIN No. A security lock is performed by SPS. And not
replace the TCM when DTC P0602 can repair by SPS.

DTC P0743 (FLASHING CODE 33) Torque Converter Clutch Electrical
RUW37ALF000601
Circuit Description
The lock-up solenoid SL of the torque converter clutch
(TCC) controls the lock-up clutch by a signal according
to the lock-up range judgment of the TCM when the
vehicle runs.
This function can improve the fuel consumption to
almost the same extent as the manual transmission.
The lock-up solenoid SL is put into B+ by the TCM, so
that the solenoid is actuated with the result of lock-up.
Condition for setting the DTC
The TCM detects following conditions both "Condition
1" and "Condition 2" occur 2 times or more than it.
Condition 1 ("GND short"):
Voltage at connector pin is 0V for 0.3 sec
continuously when solenoid is “ON".
Condition 2 ("Open or IG short"):
Voltage at connector pin is ignition voltage for 0.5
sec continuously when solenoid is “OFF".
Action Taken When The DTC Sets
No lock-up control.
The TCM fixes to 1st gear when the vehicle speed is
less than 6 mph.
Check Trans ON.
DTC stored.
