22. Remove all valves and springs.
23. Cleanliness through entire disassembly and assembly of the valve bodycannot be overemphasized. When dis-
assembling, each part should be washed in a suitable solvent, then dried bycompressed air.Do not wipe
parts with shop towels.All mating surfaces in the valve body are accurately machined; therefore,careful han-
dling of all parts must be exercised to avoid nicks or burrs.
ASSEMBLY
NOTE: If the valve body assembly is being reconditioned or replaced, it is necessary to perform the Quick
Learn Procedure using the scan tool. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/TRANS-
MISSION CONTROL MODULE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

P0218-HIGH TEMPERATURE OPERATION ACTIVATED
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.
Theory of Operation
The DTC is intended as an informational DTC to aid the technician in determining the root cause of a customer
dirveability issue. The DTC is also intended to alert the technician to determine if a cooling system malfunction has
occurred or if an additional transmission air to oil cooler is needed to support the customers driving behavior.
When Monitored:
Whenever the engine is running.
Set Condition:
Immediately after a Overheat shift schedule is activated when the Transmission temperature exceeds 127° C
or 260° F.
Possible Causes
H I G H T E M P E R AT U R E O P E R AT I O N A C T I VAT E D
TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SLIPPING / NOT ACTIVATING
EXCESSIVE TIME IDLING IN GEAR
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Diagnostic Test
1.HIGH TEMPERATURE OPERATION
This DTC is an informational DTC designed to aid the Technician in diagnosing shift quality complaints.
This DTC indicates that the transmission has been operating in the
Overheatshift schedule which may generate
a customer complaint.
The customer driving patterns may indicate the need for an additional transmission oil cooler.
Verify proper Engine cooling system operation which would affect proper transmission operation.
Verify proper torque converter clutch operation.
With the scan tool, check the DTC EVENT DATA to help identify the conditionsin which the DTC was set.
If there are no possible causes remaining, view repair.
Repair
Repair the cause of transmission overheating. Refer to the Service Information for the proper repair
procedure. Make sure to check for any Service Bulletins pertaining to thisproblem.
Perform 45RFE/545RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. (Refer to 21- TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Page 3111 of 5267

When Monitored:
With the engine running and the PCM has closed the Transmission Control Relay.
Set Condition:
If the battery voltage of the Transmission Output circuit(s) to the PCM is less than 10.0 volts for the period of
15 seconds. Note: P0562 generally indicates a gradually falling battery voltage or a resistive connection(s) to
the PCM. The DTC will also set if the battery voltage sensed at the PCM is lessthan 6.5-volts for 200ms or
where the Transmission Output circuits are less than 7.2-volts for 200ms.
Possible Causes
RELATED CHARGING SYSTEM DTC’S
(Z904, Z908, Z977) GROUND CIRCUITS OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
(T16) TIPM OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM)
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
Friction element distress could result from an insufficient supply voltage to properly control the solenoids. To prevent
this possibility, the battery voltage is monitored and the system is placed in logical limp-in if the battery voltage
drops below the limit.
Diagnostic Test
1.RELATED CHARGING SYSTEM DTCS
With the scan tool, read the Engine DTCs.
Are there any related Charging System DTCs also present?
Ye s>>
Refer to the Charging System category and repair any Engine Charging System DTCs, before testing
DTC P0562. NOTE: After repairing the Engine Charging System DTC’s, perform the Transmission Ver-
ification test to verify the transmission control systemwas not damaged.
Perform 45RFE/545RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. (Refer to 21- TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

2.CHECK FOR TIPM DTCS
NOTE: Generator, battery, and charging system must be fully functional before performing this test.
With the scan tool, read TIPM DTCs.
Are there any TCM TIPM DTCs present.

3.CONDITION P0562 PRESENT
With the scan tool, read Transmission DTCs.
With the scan tool, Check the STARTS SINCE SET counter for P0562.
NOTE: This counter only applies to the last DTC set.
Is the STARTS SINCE SET counter set at 0?

4.CHECKING (Z904, Z908, Z977) GROUND CIRCUITS
Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
Disconnect the PCM C4 harness connector and connect Miller tool
#8815.
NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.
CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the
PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting
in poor terminal to pin connection. Install Miller tool #8815 to per-
form diagnosis.
Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check the PCM (Z904,
Z908, Z977) Ground circuits at the appropriate terminals of Miller tool
#8815.
NOTE: The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the bright-
ness to that of a direct connection to the battery.
Does the test light illuminate brightly for all of the Ground cir-
cuits?

No>>
Repair the (Z904, Z908, Z977) Ground circuit(s) for an open or high resistance.
