P2704-INADEQUATE ELEMENT VOLUME 4C
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.
When Monitored:
Whenever the engine is running. The 4C clutch volume index (CVI) is updatedduring a 3-4 upshift with throttle
angle between 10 and 54 degrees. Transmission temperature must be at least43° C (110° F).
Set Condition:
When the 4C CVI falls below 5.
Possible Causes
BROKEN 4C RETURN SPRING OR DISLODGED SNAP RING
BROKEN 4C ACCUMULATOR SPRING(S)
HYDRAULIC LEAK IN THE VALVE BODY
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.CHECK THE 4C CLUTCH VOLUME
With the scan tool, record the 4C clutch volume index (CVI) and erase DTC’s.
Perform at least 10, 3-4 upshifts with the throttle between 10 and 54 degrees. The Transmission temperature must
be at least 43° C or 110° F.
With the scan tool, read the 4C CVI.
