Theory of Operation
The Transmission Temperature Sensor is a variable resistor that changes with temperature, or otherwise known as
a thermister. The temperature of the transmission fluid can affect a variety of electronically controlled transmission
operations such as shift quality, torque converter lock-up, and when and/or if certain OBDII or system self-diagnostic
test are performed. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) substitutes a calculated transmission temperature value
if a fault is detected in the Transmission Temperature Sensor circuit.

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) When in gear, if the gear ratio does not compare to a known 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 which may result in the DTCs P0715
and/or P0720 to set.
3) If the common speed sensor ground circuit is lost, both sensor inputs will read the signal from the input speed
sensor at idle in neutral. Since the input speed sensor reads 60 teeth from 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 when at a stop.
Diagnostic Test

For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.
When Monitored:

Set Condition:
This DTC will set when the calculated engine speed is less than 390 RPM with the engine running, or greater
than 8000 RPM, for the period of 2.0 seconds. The PCM will place the Transmission in Limp-in when this DTC
is set.Note: This is not a Transmission Input Speed Sensor DTC.

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 Control System calculates the engine RPM by directly reading the engine crank position sensor.
It compares the calculated value to the engine speed sensor signal transmitted from the Engine Control System
over the controllers internal BUS. The calculated engine RPM is also comparedtoaminimumandamaximum
value.Note: Due to the integration of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and Transmission Control Mod-
ule (TCM), BUS communication between the modules is internal and unserviceable.
