21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Theory of Operation
The Transmission system uses five pressure switches to monitor the fluid pressure in the LR, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
clutch circuits. The pressure switches are continuously monitored for the correct states in each gear as shown.

P1715-RESTRICTED MANUAL VALVE IN T3 RANGE
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W
When Monitored:
Whenever the PRNDL code indicates Temp 3.
Set Condition:
This DTC sets when conditions for the DTC P1776 are satisfied or 3 unsuccessful attempts to engage 1st gear
while the shifter is in the temp 3 zone. This indicates a restricted port at the manual valve because the shifter
is not fully engaged in the drive position.

2.CHECK SHIFTER ADJUSTMENT
Check Shifter adjustment per the Service Information.
Is the shifter properly adjusted?
Ye s>>

No>>
Adjust the Shifter Assembly per the Service Information.
Perform 45RFE/545RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. (Refer to 21- TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
3.CHECK CUSTOMER DRIVING HABIT
This DTC can be set if the customer rests their hand on the shift lever while they are driving. The transmission can
be put in the T3 position if just enough forward pressure is exerted on the shift lever.
When this occurs, the feed port to the clutch is restricted, the transmission will declare neutral, and this DTC will be
set. The customer should be informed not to rest their hand on the shifter while driving.
This DTC can also be set by simply bumping the shift lever toward neutral while accelerating.
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
This DTC can be set by putting too much forward pressure on the shift lever while it is in the OD posi-
tion. Make sure the customer is informed.

13.CHECK FOR BROKEN REVERSE SUN GEAR WELD
Working through the windows in the bottom of the case, check for a broken Reverse Sun gear weld to the reaction
carrier as follows:
(1) Hold the Transmission Output Shaft by holding the Transmission ManualLever in the park position.
(2) Rotate the Input Annulus gear and drive shell, (the drum that encloses the two rearmost carriers).
(3) Check to see if the reaction carrier (the front most carrier, whose outer shell is splined to the 4C clutch) is
rotating faster than the drive shell is being turned.
Is the reaction carrier turning faster than the drive shell?

P2700-INADEQUATE ELEMENT VOLUME LR
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.
When Monitored:
Whenever the engine is running. The LR clutch volume index (CVI) is updatedduring a 3-1 or 2-1 manual
downshift with throttle angle below 5 degrees. Transmission temperaturemust be at least 43° C (110° F).
Set Condition:
When the LR clutch volume index (CVI) falls below 16.
Possible Causes
HYDRAULIC LEAK IN THE VALVE BODY
BROKEN L/R CLUTCH PISTON RETURN SPRING OR SPRING RETAINERS
BROKEN L/R ACCUMULATOR SPRING(S)
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 volumes of the transmission fluid needed to apply the friction elements are continuously monitored and learned
for adaptive controls. As the clutch friction material wears, the volume of fluid needed to apply the clutch increases.
Certain transmission mechanical problems can cause near-zero learned volumes resulting in setting a DTC. The
DTC will usually set with other DTC’s, which indicates an internal transmission problem.
Diagnostic Test
1.OTHER DTCS PRESENT

Start the engine and warm the transmission.
NOTE: The TRANS TEMP DEG must be at least 43° C or 110° F before performing thefollowing steps.
Drive the vehicle and perform at least ten 3-1 manual downshifts at closed throttle from speeds of about 32 Kmh or
20 MPH.
With the scan tool, read the LR CL VOL INDEX.

CLEANING
The use of crocus cloth is permissible where necessary, providing it is usedcarefully.Whenusedonshafts,or
valves, use extreme care to avoid rounding off sharp edges. Sharp edges arevital as they prevent foreign matter
from getting between the valve and valve bore.
Do not reuse oil seals, gaskets, seal rings, or O-rings during overhaul. Replace these parts as a matter of course.
Also do not reuse snap rings or E-clips that are bent or distorted. Replace these parts as well.
Lubricate transmission parts with Mopar
ATF +4, Automatic Transmission Fluid, during overhaul and assembly. Use
petroleum jelly, Mopar
Door Ease, or Ru-Glyde to prelubricate seals, O-rings, and thrust washers. Petroleum jelly
canalsobeusedtoholdpartsinplaceduringreassembly.
Clean the case in a solvent tank. Flush the case bores and fluid passages thoroughly with solvent. Dry the case and
all fluid passages with compressed air. Be sure all solvent is removed fromthe case and that all fluid passages are
clear.

NOTE: Do not use shop towels or rags to dry the case (or any other transmission component) unless they
aremadefromlint-freematerials.Lintwillsticktocasesurfacesandtransmission components and circu-
late throughout the transmission after assembly. A sufficient quantity of lint can block fluid passages and
interfere with valve body operation.
INSPECTION
Inspect the case for cracks, porous spots, worn bores, or damaged threads.Damaged threads can be repaired with
Helicoil
thread inserts. However, the case will have to be replaced if it exhibits any type of damage or wear.
ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Clean and inspect all components. Replace any components which showevidence of excessive wear
or scoring.
1. Install the cooler filter bypass valve. Torque the
bypass valve to specification. The valve uses a
tapered pipe thread and excessive torque can
damage the transmission case. Tighten the cooler
filter bypass valve to 4.5 Nꞏm (40 in.lbs.).
2. Install a new selector shaft seal (1) using Seal
Installer 8253 (2).
3. Install the manual selector shaft and retaining
screw. Tighten the manual selector shaft retaining
screw to 28 Nꞏm (250 in.lbs.).
4. Install the manual shift lever (1) onto the manual
selector shaft. Torque the retaining cross-bolt to 16
Nꞏm (140 in.lbs.).
