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.

P0944-LOSS OF HYDRAULIC PUMP PRIME
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.
When Monitored:
Every 350 msec
Set Condition:
If the transmission begins to slip in any forward gear, and the pressure switch or switches that should be
closed for a given gear are open, a loss of prime test begins. All available elements (in 1st gear LR, 2/4 and
OD, in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear 2/4 and OD) are turned on by the PCM to see if pump prime exists. The code
is set if none of the pressure switches respond. The PCM will continue to runthe loss of prime test until pump
pressure returns. The vehicle will not move or the transmission will slip.Normal operation will continue if pump
prime returns.
Possible Causes
LOW TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL
SHIFT LEVER POSITION
PLUGGED TRANSMISSION FILTER
TRANSMISSION OIL PUMP
Always perform the 42RLE Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 -
TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 42RLE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Theory of Operation
The Loss of Prime Test is used to prevent transmission defaults and erroneous fault codes during temporary loss of
pump prime that may occur with low transmission fluid under severe brakingconditions, start-up, etc. and to point
towards more subtle problems such as a plugged or ruptured oil filter. The Loss of Prime fault is set by a loss of
hydraulic pressure in the transmission system. This condition, if sustained, will result in the vehicle being unable to
move.
Diagnostic Test
1.CHECK TO SEE IF DTC P0944 IS CURRENT
Place the gear selector in park.
Start the engine.
NOTE: The Transmission Temperature must be at least 43° C (110° F) before performing the following steps.
The Transmission must be at operating temperature prior to checking pressure. Cold transmission fluid will result in
higher pressure readings.
Place the Transmission in Reverse.
With the scan tool, observe the Transmission Pressure Switch states.
Are any of the Pressure Switches closed?

Perform 42RLE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/
TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 42RLE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
3.CHECK CUSTOMER DRIVING HABIT
This DTC can be set if the customer does not move the shift lever completely into the OD position (in between
gears) causing the manual valve to be in the T2 position.
When this occurs, the feed port to the clutch is restricted, the transmission will declare neutral, and this DTC will
set.
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 the shift lever inthe wrong position or not completelyin the OD position. Make
sure the customer is properly informed.

TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 42RLE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

P1797-MANUAL SHIFT OVERHEAT
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.
When Monitored:
Continuously with engine running.
Set Condition:
If the Engine Temperature exceeds 123° C (255° F) or the Transmission Temperature exceeds 135° C (275° F)
while in AutoStick
mode. Note: Aggressive driving or driving in low for extended periods of time will set this
DTC.
Possible Causes
MANUAL SHIFT OVERHEAT
Always perform the 42RLE Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 -
TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 42RLE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Theory of Operation
The major cause of heat build up in the transmission is torque converter slip.WiththetransmissionintheAuto-
Stick
mode, the torque converter can slip during aggressive driving or heavy loading conditions such as trailer
towing or driving up steep grades. In the non AutoStick
mode, internal controller logic prevents the transmission
from overheating by managing the shift and EMCC schedule. In the AutoStick
mode, when the transmission or
engine temperature approaches an overheat condition, the manual shift overheat DTC sets and the AutoStick
mode is temporarily suspended until the temperature returns to normal.
Diagnostic Test
1.MANUAL SHIFT OVERHEAT
This is an informational DTC only.
With the scan tool, check the DTC EVENT DATA to help identify the conditionsin which the DTC was set.
Check the engine and transmission cooling system for proper operation.
Check the Radiator Cooling Fan operation.
Check the Transmission Cooling operation.
Check the Transmission Fluid Level per the Service Information to verify that it is not overfilled.
NOTE: Aggressive driving or driving in low for extended periods of time will set this DTC.
If there are no possible causes remaining, view repair.
Repair
If the Transmission Fluid is low, repair any Transmission Fluid leak as necessary and adjust the Trans-
mission Fluid Level per the Service Information. Refer to Service Information for the related symptoms
and repair as necessary.
