P0731-GEAR RATIO ERROR IN 1ST
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W
When Monitored:
Continuously with the ignition on, engine running, with the transmissionin gear.
Set Condition:
If the ratio of the Input RPM to the Output RPM does not match the current gearratio. This DTC can take up
to five minutes of problem identification before illuminating the MIL
Possible Causes
CUT UD PISTON SEAL
LOW FLUID LEVEL
CRACKED OR MIS-INSTALLED PRIMARY OIL FILTER OR SEAL
STUCK OR STICKING MAIN REGULATOR VALVE
FAILED OVERRUNNING CLUTCH
CUT UD ACCUMULATOR SEAL RING
BROKEN UD ACCUMULATOR PISTON
BROKEN REACTION SHAFT SUPPORT SEAL RING
LOW LINE PRESSURE
BROKEN / MISSING MAIN VALVE BODY BLEED ORIFICE
BROKEN / MISSING DRIBBLER ORIFICE ASSEMBLY IN REACTION SHAFT SUPPORT
POOR MACHINING ON PUMP VALVE BODY FACE
INPUT SPEED SENSOR AND RELATED WIRING
TRANSMISSION SOLENOID/TRS ASSEMBLY
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
Always perform the 45RFE/545RFE Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to
21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Theory of Operation
The transmission system uses two speed sensors, one to measure input RPM and one to measure output RPM.
These inputs are essential for proper transmission operation. Therefore, the integrity of this data is verified through
the following checks:
1) Once in a particular gear, if the gear ratio varies from the correct gear ratio, the corresponding in-gear trouble
code is set (DTCs P0731–36).
2) An excessive change in input or output speeds indicating signal intermittent may result in the DTCs P0715 and/or
P0720 being set.
3) If the common speed sensor ground circuit is lost, both sensor inputs will read the pulses from the input speed
sensor when at a stop in neutral. Since the input speed sensor reads 60 teethfrom the input clutch hub and the
output speed sensor reads 30 teeth from the park gear, the result is an apparent speed ratio of 1:2 and may cause
the DTC P1794 to set.

P0740-TCC OUT OF RANGE
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W
When Monitored:
During Electronically Modulated Converter Clutch (EMCC) Operation.
Set Condition:
Transmission must be in EMCC, with input speed greater than 1750 RPM. TCC-LR Solenoid achieves the
maximum duty cycle and can not pull engine speed within 60 RPM of input speed. Also when the transmission
is in FEMCC and the engine slips TCC less than 100 RPM for 10 seconds. This DTCcantakeuptofive
minutes of problem identification before illuminating the MIL.

Always perform the 45RFE/545RFE Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure before proceeding. (Refer to
21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Theory of Operation
When in 2nd, 2nd Prime, 3rd, 4th or 5th gear, the torque converter clutch (TCC) can be engaged when certain
conditions are met. The TCC piston is electronically modulated by increasing the duty cycle of the LR Solenoid until
the torque converter slip difference (difference between engine and transmission input speed) is within 60 RPM.
Then the LR solenoid is fully energized(FEMCC – 100% duty cycle). Torque converter slip is monitored in FEMCC
to ensure adequate clutch capacity.

2.CHECK IF DTC P0740 IS CURRENT
With the scan tool, Read and RECORD ALL Transmission DTC’s. After recording DTCs, erase DTCs.
Drive the vehicle until the transmission temperature is at least 43° C or 110° F and the engine temperature at least
49° C or 120° F.
Perform the following steps 3 times.
Drive the vehicle to the speed of at least 88 Kmh or 55 mph.
Allow 4th or 5th gear to engage for at least 10 seconds.
Close the throttle.
Tip back into the throttle until the TPS angle is between 25 and 29 degrees.
NOTE: If the throttle angle goes over 30 degrees, you must close the throttleandtryagain.
Did the TCC engage during any of the attempts, Engine speed approximately equal to input speed?
