Theory of Operation The Transmission Control Module (TCM) monitors the secondary line pressure (secondary pulley pressure) from the secondary pressure sensor. The TCM compares the actual secondary line pressure to the target (desired) line pressure. Failure to match the target line pressure over a given time will set the DTC. When Monitored: Ignition on, engine running with the transmission not in neutral or park. Transmission fluid temperature greater than -0 C (-4 F). Brake Switch in the OFF mode. Change rate of vehicle speed greater than 4 Km/h ( mph). Change rate of accelerator pedal position less than ± 6.%. Engine rpm greater than 40 rpm with a transmission fluid temperature greater than 0 C (68 F). No active DTCs from the following: Set Condition: When the secondary pressure goes down gradually below a predetermined value during a drive cycle. The DTC could be due to the failure of the secondary pressure control system, secondary pressure solenoid performance or line pressure solenoid. There are two possible setting conditions to set this DTC. Condition one: Target secondary pressure minus the measured secondary pressure is greater than 0. MPa (36 psi) for two consecutive instances of a problem identification for the period of. seconds within a 30 second interval. Condition two: Target secondary pressure minus the measured secondary pressure is greater than.0 MPa (9 psi) for the period of 800 msec.

Start the engine and warm the transmission to 0-80 C ( - 74 F).. Turn the ignition off to the lock position. 3. Install an appropriate pressure gauge in the Line Pressure test port in accordance with the Service Information. WARNING: The CV Transmission can generate a line pressure up to 00 psi. Failure to use recommended test equipment referred to by the Service Information can result in possible serious or fatal injury. 4. Using the scan tool, erase Transmission DTCs. WARNING: Apply the parking brake. Failure to follow these instructions can result in possible serious or fatal injury.. With the brakes firmly applied, start the engine allow to idle and shift the transmission into Reverse, Drive and Low while recording the scan tool Line pressure reading and the pressure gauge reading in each shift lever position. 6. With the brakes still firmly applied, raise the engine rpm between 700-30 rpm and shift the transmission into Reverse, Drive and Low while recording the scan tool line pressure reading and the pressure gauge reading in each shift lever position. CAUTION: Do not hold the engine rpm between 700-30 rpm for more than seconds in any given shift position. If the five second threshold is exceeded, transmission damage can occur. Allow to idle in neutral between shifts for at least to 0 seconds to allow transmission fluid to cool. Do the gauge readings fall into the desired pressure ranges? Yes Go To 4 No Go To 3 3.
