DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
MANUAL TRANSMISSION - GETRAG 238
LOW LUBRICANT LEVEL
A low transmission lubricant level is generally the result of a leak, inadequate lubricant fill or incorrect lubricant level
check.
Rear transmission leakswill be from the oil seals or transfer case front seal on 4x4.
Front transmission leakswill be from the front input shaft retainer seal. Lubricant may drip from theclutchhousing
after extended operation. If leak is severe, it may contaminate the clutchdisc.
Lubricant level checkcan only be made when the vehicle is level and allowing the lubricant to settle for a minute
before checking. This will ensure an accurate check and avoid an under or overfill condition.
HARD SHIFTING
Hard shifting can be caused by low lubricant level, improper or contaminated lubricants. This will cause noise,
excessive wear, internal bind, and hard shifting. Substantial lubricantleaks can result in gear, shift rail, synchro, and
bearing damage. The first indications of component damage is usually hardshifting and noise.
Shift component damage, clutch adjustment, worn pressure plate or disc, can increased shift effort. If clutch problem
is advanced, gear clash during shifts can result. Worn or damaged synchronizer rings can cause gear clash when
shifting into any forward gear. In some new or rebuilt transmissions, new synchro rings may tend to stick slightly
causing hard or noisy shifts. In most cases, this condition will decline asthe rings wear-in.
TRANSMISSION NOISE
Most manual transmissions make some noise during normal operation. Rotating gears generate a mild whine that is
audible, but generally only at extreme speeds.
Severe, highly audible transmission noise is generally the initial indicator of a lubricant problem. Insufficient,
improper or contaminated lubricant will promote rapid wear of gears, synchronizer rings, shift rails, forks and bear-
ings. The overheating caused by a lubricant problem, can also lead to gear and bearing damage.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
DRAIN AND FILL
1. Raise and support vehicle.
2. Remove drain plug (1) on transmission (2) and
drain fluid.
3. Install drain plug and tighten to 50 Nꞏm (37 ft. lbs.).

LOW LUBRICANT LEVEL
A low transmission lubricant level is generally the result of a leak, inadequate lubricant fill or incorrect lubricant level
check.
Rear transmission leakswill be from the oil seals or component mating surfaces.
Front transmission leakswill be from the front bearing retainer or retainer seal. Lubricant may dripfromtheclutch
housing after extended operation. If leak is severe, it may contaminate the clutch disc.
Lubricant level checkcan only be made when the vehicle is level and allowing the lubricant to settle for a minute

P0218-HIGH TEMPERATURE OPERATION ACTIVATED
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.
When Monitored:
Whenever the engine is running.
Set Condition:
Immediately when a Overheat shift schedule is activated when the Transmission Oil Temperature reaches 155°
C or 240° F.
Possible Causes
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM OPERATION
TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER PLUGGED
H I G H T E M P E R AT U R E O P E R AT I O N S A C T I VAT E D
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 42RLE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Theory of Operation
If the transmission oil temperature rises above 115° C (240° F), the overheat shift schedule is activated refer to
Transmission Operation as a function of Transmission Oil Temperature andthe code is set. The DTC is an infor-
mational code only and is being set to aid the technician in determining root cause of a customer driveability issue.
The code 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 should be added to the vehicle ifthe customer regularly drives in a manner
that overheats the transmission. Extended operation above 115° C (240° F)will reduce the durability of the trans-
mission and should be avoided. Correcting the cooling system malfunctionor installing an additional transmission oil
cooler will improve transmission durability especially for customers who operate in city/construction stop and go traf-
fic, tow trailers regularly, drive aggressively in low gear or drive regularly in mountainous areas.

For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.
When Monitored:
After the ignition key is turned to the run position and 60 seconds thereafter.
Set Condition:
Either of the following conditions occur 3 times in less than 590 milliseconds: The watchdog line remains high
after the watchdog test or the transmission relay coil is energized and remains on after the watchdog delay
expires.
Possible Causes
PCM - INTERNAL ERROR
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 42RLE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Theory of Operation
The internal watchdog is a separate hardware circuit which continuously monitors the microprocessor. To make sure
the transmission is operating properly, the watchdog must receive a signal from the microprocessor within a specific
time window. MIL on after 10 seconds of vehicle operation and transmissionwill be placed in limp-in.
Diagnostic Test
1.PCM - INTERNAL ERROR
Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors. Repairas necessary. Pay particular attention
to all power and ground circuits.
If there are no possible causes remaining, view repair.
Repair
Using the schematics as a guide, check the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)terminals for corrosion,
damage, or terminal push out. Pay particular attention to all power and ground circuits. Check for Ser-
vice Information Tune-ups or Service Bulletins for any possible causes that may apply. If no problems
are found, replace the PCM per the Service Information. With the scan tool,perform QUICK LEARN.
Perform 42RLE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/
TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 42RLE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

When Monitored:
Continuously with the ignition on.
Set Condition:
The DTC will set if the controller detects an invalid PRNDL code which lastsfor more than 0.042 seconds.
Possible Causes
SHIFTER OUT OF ADJUSTMENT
TRS SENSE CIRCUIT OPEN
TRS SENSE CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND
TRS SENSE CIRCUIT SHORT TO VOLTAGE
METAL DEBRIS IN OIL PAN
TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
Always perform the 42RLE Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 -
TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 42RLE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Theory of Operation
The C1 through C4 (T1, T3, T41, and T42) sense circuits communicate the shift lever position to the PCM. Each
circuit is terminated at the transmission with a switch. Each switch can beeither open or closed, depending on the
shift lever position. The PCM can decode this information and determine the shift lever position. Each shift lever
position has a certain combination of switches, which will be open and closed, this is called a PRNDL code. There
are 4 switches, therefore: there are many possible combinations of open and closed switches (codes). However,
there are only 9 valid codes (8 for AutoStick), one for each gear position and three recognized between gear codes.
The remainder of the codes should never occur, these are called invalid codes. The following chart shows the nor-
mal switch states for each shift lever position.
