NOTE
Charging a battery at higher current rates can
significantly reduce the life of the battery.
Charge Rate Initial Current Maximum Time Required
Slow charge 4 A 24 hours
Fast charge 35 A 2 hours
6 After a few minutes, check the colour and specific gravity of the electrolyte. Refer to 3.3 Hydrometer Test.
7 Monitor the electrolyte temperature while the battery is charging. If the electrolyte temperature reaches 55 °C:
a switch the charging current off,
b allow the battery to cool,
c reduce the charging current, and
d restart charging the battery.
NOTE
For the best results, charge the battery with the
electrolyte and plates at room temperature. An
extremely cold battery may not appear to accept
current for several hours after starting the battery
charger. If the battery does not appear to accept
charge after several hours replace the battery.
8 For slow charging check the voltage and specific gravity each hour or more regularly for fast charging. Stop the charging when there is no change in voltage or electrolyte specific gravity over three checks.
9 If the battery was fast charged connect the battery to a slow-charger for a few hours to bring the battery to the fully charged condition. Ensure the last few hours of charge do not exceed 1 A.
10 Tighten the filler caps. Ensure they are secure.
11 Install the battery in the vehicle. Refer to 4.1 Battery.
4.3 Emergency Jump Starting Procedure
Safety Precautions
• Read and obey the general safety precautions for working with batteries, refer to 2 Safety Precautions.

10 Diagnostics For Non DTC Faults
10.1 PRND32L Display Diagnostics
Circuit Description
The powertrain interface module (PIM) receives transmission gear status via the GM Lan serial data bus from the
transmission control module (TCM) it is then sent to the instrument cluster by the PIM via a series of hard wired
connections to illuminate the appropriate gear position indicator within the instrument cluster. Some of these components
do not set a DTC, in the event of a component failure. The following diagnostic procedures are devised to assist in these
cases.
Additional Information
• Refer to 7.2 Diagnostic System Check to monitor DTC’s.
• Refer to 8A Electrical Body and Chassis for the following information:
• Automatic transmission Neutral Start and Back-up Lamp Switch and wiring,
• TCM wiring diagram.
• Refer to 6 W iring Diagram and Connector Chart for the following information:
• PIM connector illustration and terminal assignment, and
• PIM wiring diagram.
• For intermittent faults, refer to Intermittent Fault Conditions.
• Check for an intermittent fault in the wiring harness or connectors, if a fault cannot be found the system is
serviceable.
Since fault conditions in a wiring connector may trigger DTCs, always test the connectors related to this diagnostic
procedure for shorted terminals or poor wiring connection before replacing any component. Refer to 8A Electrical - Body
and Chassis for information on electrical fault diagnosis.
Test Description
The following numbers refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic table:
1 This step tests for DTC’s in the overall system.
2 This step manually tests the PRND32L display.
4 This step uses Tech 2 to drive each indicator on.
7 This step tests for shorts to voltage.
8 This step tests neutral start and back-up lamp switch and automatic transmission.
12 This step tests the instrument cluster circuits.
15 This step manually tests the PRND32L display.

Automatic Transmission – 4L60E – General Information Page 7C1–8
2.4 System Protection Devices
Should 1st gear be selected and left in that range, the TCM will protect the engine from an over-speeding condition by
upshifting to 2nd gear at a pre-determined point. Similarly, the TCM provides high speed, downshift protection by
preventing a manual shift into 1st gear above pre-determined engine speeds.
Under severe operating conditions such as towing in high ambient temperatures, fluid temperatures can rise to a point
where lubrication breakdown can occur. In addition to having an oil cooler fitted to the vehicle, the 4L60E transmission is
also fitted with a transmission fluid temperature sensor located in the Transmission Range (TR) Pressure Switch
Assembly (PSA).
When fluid temperatures in excess of 135 °C are sensed, the torque converter clutch is applied as programmed, in 3rd or
4th gear. This action reduces further the fluid temperature during normal operation of the torque converter. While these
high fluid temperatures are sensed however, torque converter clutch apply is not available when the throttle opening is
above 50%.
Similarly, when the fluid temperature is below 29 °C, the TCM prevents torque converter clutch apply.
If a condition occurs, preventing electronic control of the transmission's functions, a 'Fail Safe' mode will default the
transmission to 3rd gear when either Drive or 3 is selected, applying also maximum line pressure. W hile in this mode, the
vehicle operator can still manually select 2, 1, Reverse, Park or Neutral, should the need arise.
2.5 Self Diagnosis
If any transmission operation controlled by the TCM begins to operate outside its pre-set parameters, the TCM has the
ability to store a range of diagnostic codes which can be accessed by the servicing technician, thereby localising the
problem.
2.6 TCM Sensors and Actuators
As indicated earlier, there are a number of sensors and switches providing input information for the TCM programming
that will allow the TCM to change the shift pattern, shift feel and torque converter clutch operation.
The TCM does this by comparing this input information with its predetermined values on shift pattern, fluid pressure
maps, shift duration parameters, extreme heat protection programming and adaptive controls.
In addition, each input signal and output actuator operation is also monitored and if outside its pre-set parameters, a
diagnostic code is logged for future reference by the servicing technician.

3 Transmission Control Module
Operation Overview
3.1 Transmission Control Module
W ith the introduction of the new HFV6 engine, the powertrain architecture has been redesigned to accommodate this
introduction. W ith this design, a new bus architecture and protocol has also been introduced. The new bus connects the
following modules:
• engine control module (ECM),
• transmission control module (TCM),
• powertrain interface module (PIM) and
• ABS module.
The protocol used to communicate between these modules is called General Motors Local Area Network (GM LAN)
which is based on Controller Area Network (CAN) communication protocol. For further information on GM LAN protocol
and data bus structure, refer to 6E1 Powertrain Interface Module – V6.
Component Location
The TCM (1) is located under the instrument panel, it is attached to a bracket mounted to the firewall as shown in
Figure 7C1 – 2.
For the other components using the GM LAN databus, refer to 6E1 Powertrain Interface Module – V6.

Figure 7C1 – 2
Transmission Control Module Data Transfer
The TCM uses various information to control the shift of the transmission. Besides the direct inputs from the various
transmission sensors directly into the TCM, the TCM uses data from the GM LAN databus.
The inputs/outputs directly connected to the TCM from the transmission are:
• shift solenoids,
• torque converter clutch control,
• pressure control solenoid,
• transmission fluid temperature sensor and
• vehicle speed sensor.
Refer to 3.2 TCM Wiring Diagrams.
The transmission also receives inputs from the park/neutral position and back up lamp switch assembly.
The TCM needs other various data parameters to control the transmission correctly. These include throttle plate angle,
whether cruise control is engaged and active or not, engine RPM etc. These are provided to the TCM from the ECM via
serial data using GM LAN communication protocol.
The TCM also supplies information that is used by other components and systems within the vehicle such as the engine
control module (ECM) and instrument cluster. Any information that is required on the body side of the data bus (UART
protocol) is translated by the powertrain interface module (PIM). For further information on the data bus structure, the
PIM and its operation, refer to 6E1 Powertrain Interface Module – V6.

TFP Gear: This parameter displays Park/Neutral, Reverse , Drive4 , Drive3 , Drive2 , Drive1 or Invalid . This parameter
is the decoded status of the three A/B/C inputs from the automatic transmission fluid pressure manual valve position
switch. If a valid combination of inputs is not detected, invalid will be displayed.
TFP Swi A/B/C: This parameter displays Open 12 V / Closed 0 V for each switch. This parameter indicates the statues
of the three inputs from the automatic transmission fluid pressure manual valve position switch assembly.
Throttle Position: This parameter displays a calculated value, which is determined by the accelerator pedal position and
the actual throttle position, used to optimise transmission controls. It represents the driver’s intended requested for
torque or acceleration. The range is 0-100%, 0% represents an idle or coast request and 100% represents a request for
wide open throttle (WOT).
Torque Converter Efficiency: This parameter displays a ratio of 0.00:1 to 2:1. The ratio is calculates by multiplying the
speed ratio by a value related to the ‘K factor’ of the torque converter. The ‘K factor’ is the looseness or tightness of the
torque converter for a given torque. The nearer the torque converter is to full coupling, i.e. 1:1, the closer the torque
converter efficiency number will be to 1.
TR Switch A/B/C/P: This parameter displays the status of the four inputs from the transmission range switch. Tech 2
displays Open 12V / Closed 0 V . Open 12 V indicates an ignition voltage input to the control module. Closed 0 V
indicates a zero voltage input to the control module.
Transmission Fluid Temperature: This parameter displays the input signal of the transmission fluid temperature sensor.
Transmission fluid temperature is high, 151°C, when signal voltage is low, 0 V. Transmission fluid temperature is low, -
40°C, when signal voltage is high, 5 V.
Transmission Hot Mode: This parameter displays the automatic transmission fluid temperature (TFT) and displays On
or Off . Off indicates the TFT has not exceeded 130°C. On indicates the TFT has exceeded 130°C and has not cooled to
120°C for greater than 5 seconds. These numbers are approximate and differ with transmissions.
Vehicle Speed: This parameter displays the speed at which the vehicle is travelling. Tech 2 displays vehicle speed as
kilometres per hour (km/h). The vehicle speed is calculates based on the input signal from the automatic transmission
output shaft speed sensor.
3.4 Miscellaneous Tests
Tech 2
Miscellaneous Tests Description
Shift Solenoid A •
The TCM commands the 1-2 shift solenoid valve on and off. Tech 2’s Shift Solenoid A
Parameter should match the commanded state. Tech 2’s Commanded Gear
parameter should correspond with the shift solenoid combination. Refer to
5.6 Shift Solenoid Valve State and Gear Ratio.
• When the ignition is on, and the engine is off, there no limits to this control. The
solenoid remains on until commanded off, and vice versa. W hen the test is exited, the
solenoid state is determined by the TCM.
• W hen the engine is running, the following control limits apply:
• Only sequential gear changes are allowed. For example, 1
st to 3rd is not allowed.
If a non-sequential gear change is attempted, the message Non-sequential
gear changes not allowed . Gear changes must be made in order appears
on Tech 2.
• The vehicle speed must be below a calibrated value. If the vehicle speed is too
high, the message Vehicle speed too high appears on Tech 2.
• The engine speed must be below a calibrated value. If the engine speed is too
high, the message Engine speed too high appears on Tech 2.
• Downshifts are allowed only when the vehicle speed is below a calibrated value.
If the vehicle speed is too high, the message Eng. is on and veh. speed to hi
for 3-2 or 2-1 downshift appears on Tech 2.
• The gear requested may not be greater than the current selected transmission
range (PRNDL). For example, 3
rd gear is not allowed if the transmission range is
D2. If the gear requested is greater than the current selected transmission
range, the message Eng. running and gear request is greater than the
current TR appears on Tech 2.
• The solenoid remains on until commanded off, and vice versa. W hen the test is
exited, the solenoid state is determined by the TCM.
