FRONT CONTROL MODULE DESCRIPTION
The Front Control Module (FCM) is a micro con- troller based module located in the left front corner of the engine compartment. On this model the inte- grated power module must be positioned aside in order to access the front control module. The front control module mates to the power distribution cen- ter to form the Integrated Power Module (IPM). The integrated power module connects directly to the bat- tery and provides the primary means of circuit pro- tection and power distribution for all vehicle electrical systems. The front control module controls power to some of these vehicle systems electrical and electromechanical loads based on inputs received from hard wired switch inputs and data received on the PCI bus circuit (J1850).
For information on the Integrated Power Mod- ule Refer to the Power Distribution Section of the service manual.
OPERATION
As messages are sent over the PCI bus circuit, the front control module reads these messages and con- trols power to some of the vehicles electrical systems by completing the circuit to ground (low side driver) or completing the circuit to 12 volt power (high side driver). The following functions are Controlled by the Front Control Module: † Headlamp Power with Voltage Regulation † Windshield Wiper “ON/OFF” Relay Actuation † Windshield Wiper “HI/LO” Relay Actuation † Windshield Washer Pump Motor † Fog Lamp Relay Actuation † Park Lamp Relay Actuation † Horn Relay Actuation The following inputs are Received/Monitored by † B+ Connection Detection † Power Ground † Ambient Temperature Sensing † Ignition Switch Run † Washer Fluid Level Switch † Windshield Wiper Park Switch † PCI Bus Circuit

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FRONT CONTROL
MODULE
The front control module is a printed circuit board based module with a on-board micro-processor. The front control module interfaces with other electronic modules in the vehicle via the Programmable Com- munications Interface (PCI) data bus (J1850). In order to obtain conclusive testing the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus network and all of the electronic modules that provide inputs to, or receive outputs from the front control module must be checked. All PCI (J1850) communication faults must be resolved prior to further diagnosing any front control module related issues.
The front control module was designed to be diag- nosed with an appropriate diagnostic scan tool, such as the DRB IIIt. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the front control module requires the use of a DRB IIIt scan tool and the proper Body Diagnostic Procedures manual.
Before any testing of the front control module is attempted, the battery should be fully charged and all wire harness and ground connections inspected around the affected areas on the vehicle.

1 - MOUNTING TABS (NOT USED ON DR) 2 - HEATED SEAT MODULE 3 - ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR RECEPTACLE
The heated seat module is also known as the Seat Heat Interface Module. The heated seat module (Fig. 4) is located under the drivers front seat cushion, where it is secured to a mounting bracket. The heated seat module has a single connector receptacle that allows the module to be connected to all of the required inputs and outputs through the seat wire harness.
The heated seat module is an electronic micropro- cessor controlled device designed and programmed to use inputs from the battery, the two heated seat switches and the two heated seat sensors to operate and control the heated seat elements in both front seats and the two heated seat indicator lamp Light- Emitting Diodes (LEDs) in each heated seat switch. The heated seat module is also programmed to per- form self-diagnosis of certain heated seat system functions and provide feedback of that diagnosis through the heated seat switch indicator lamps.
The heated seat module cannot be repaired. If the heated seat module is damaged or faulty, the entire module must be replaced.
OPERATION
The heated seat module operates on fused battery current received from the integrated power module. Inputs to the module include a resistor multiplexed heated seat switch request circuit for each of the two heated seat switches and the heated seat sensor inputs from the seat cushions of each front seat. In response to those inputs the heated seat module con- trols battery current feeds to the heated seat ele-

The Low heat set point is about 36° C (96.8° F), and the High heat set point is about 42° C (107.6° F). If the seat cushion surface temperature input is below the temperature set point for the selected tem- perature setting, the heated seat module energizes an N-channel Field Effect Transistor (N-FET) within the module which energizes the heated seat elements in the selected seat cushion and back. When the sen- sor input to the module indicates the correct temper- ature set point has been achieved, the module de-energizes the heated seat elements. The heated seat module will continue to cycle the N-FET as needed to maintain the selected temperature set point.

POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - PCM
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is located in the right-rear section of the engine compartment under the cowl (Fig. 5).
Two different PCM’s are used (JTEC and NGC). These can be easily identified. JTEC’s use three 32–way connectors, NGC’s use four 38–way connectors

LOCATION
1 - COWL GRILL 2 - PCM 3 - COWL (RIGHT-REAR)
DESCRIPTION - MODES OF OPERATION
As input signals to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) change, the PCM adjusts its response to the output devices. For example, the PCM must calculate different injector pulse width and ignition timing for idle than it does for wide open throttle (WOT).
The PCM will operate in two different modes:
Open Loop and Closed Loop.
During Open Loop modes, the PCM receives input signals and responds only according to preset PCM programming. Input from the oxygen (O2S) sensors is not monitored during Open Loop modes.
During Closed Loop modes, the PCM will monitor the oxygen (O2S) sensors input. This input indicates to the PCM whether or not the calculated injector pulse width results in the ideal air-fuel ratio. This ratio is 14.7 parts air-to-1 part fuel. By monitoring the exhaust oxygen content through the O2S sensor, the PCM can fine tune the injector pulse width. This is done to achieve optimum fuel economy combined with low emission engine performance.

The fuel injection system has the following modes † Ignition switch ON † Engine start-up (crank) † Engine warm-up † Idle † Cruise † Acceleration † Deceleration † Wide open throttle (WOT) † Ignition switch OFF The ignition switch On, engine start-up (crank), engine warm-up, acceleration, deceleration and wide open throttle modes are Open Loop modes. The idle and cruise modes, (with the engine at operating tem- perature) are Closed Loop modes.

This is an Open Loop mode. When the fuel system is activated by the ignition switch, the following actions occur: † The PCM pre-positions the idle air control (IAC) motor.† The PCM determines atmospheric air pressure from the MAP sensor input to determine basic fuel strategy. † The PCM monitors the engine coolant tempera- ture sensor input. The PCM modifies fuel strategy based on this input. † Intake manifold air temperature sensor input is † Throttle position sensor (TPS) is monitored. † The auto shutdown (ASD) relay is energized by † The fuel pump is energized through the fuel pump relay by the PCM. The fuel pump will operate for approximately three seconds unless the engine is operating or the starter motor is engaged. † The O2S sensor heater element is energized via the ASD or O2S heater relay.

The fuel pump is activated by the PCM through
the fuel pump relay.
Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual injector on and off.

OPERATION - PCM
The PCM operates the fuel system. The PCM is a pre-programmed, triple microprocessor digital com- puter. It regulates ignition timing, air-fuel ratio, emission control devices, charging system, certain transmission features, speed control, air conditioning compressor clutch engagement and idle speed. The PCM can adapt its programming to meet changing operating conditions.
The PCM receives input signals from various switches and sensors. Based on these inputs, the PCM regulates various engine and vehicle operations through different system components. These compo- nents are referred to as Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Outputs. The sensors and switches that pro- vide inputs to the PCM are considered Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Inputs.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing based upon inputs it receives from sensors that react to: engine rpm, manifold absolute pressure, engine coolant tem- perature, throttle position, transmission gear selec- tion (automatic transmission), vehicle speed, power steering pump pressure, and the brake switch.
The PCM adjusts idle speed based on inputs it receives from sensors that react to: throttle position, vehicle speed, transmission gear selection, engine coolant temperature and from inputs it receives from the air conditioning clutch switch and brake switch. Based on inputs that it receives, the PCM adjusts ignition coil dwell. The PCM also adjusts the gener- ator charge rate through control of the generator field and provides speed control operation.

SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER MODULE DESCRIPTION
The Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) con- tains a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver and a cen- tral processing unit, which includes the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) program logic. The SKIS programming enables the SKIM to program and retain in memory the codes of at least two, but no more than eight electronically coded Sentry Key transponders. The SKIS programming also enables the SKIM to communicate over the Programmable Communication Interface (PCI) bus network with the Powertrain Control Module the DRBIIIt scan tool.
(PCM), and/or
OPERATION
The SKIM transmits and receives RF signals through a tuned antenna enclosed within a molded plastic ring that is integral to the SKIM housing. When the SKIM is properly installed on the steering column, the antenna ring is oriented around the igni- tion lock cylinder housing. This antenna ring must be located within eight millimeters (0.31 inches) of the Sentry Key in order to ensure proper RF communica- tion between the SKIM and the Sentry Key tran- sponder.
For added system security, each SKIM is pro- grammed with a unique “Secret Key” code and a security code. The SKIM keeps the “Secret Key” code in memory. The SKIM also sends the “Secret Key” code to each of the programmed Sentry Key tran- sponders. The security code is used by the assembly plant to access the SKIS for initialization, or by the dealer technician to access the system for service. The SKIM also stores in its memory the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), which it learns through a PCI bus message from the PCM during initializa- tion.
The SKIM and the PCM both use software that includes a rolling code algorithm strategy, which helps to reduce the possibility of unauthorized SKIS disarming. The rolling code algorithm ensures secu- rity by preventing an override of the SKIS through the unauthorized substitution of the SKIM or the PCM. However, the use of this strategy also means that replacement of either the SKIM or the PCM units will require a system initialization procedure to restore system operation.
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON or START positions, the SKIM transmits an RF signal to excite the Sentry Key transponder. The SKIM then listens for a return RF signal from the transponder of the Sentry Key that is inserted in the ignition lock cylinder. If the SKIM receives an RF signal with valid “Secret Key” and transponder identification codes, the SKIM sends a “valid key” message to the PCM over the PCI bus. If the SKIM receives an invalid RF signal or no response, it sends “invalid key” messages to the PCM. The PCM will enable or disable engine operation based upon the status of the SKIM messages.
The SKIM also sends messages to the Instrument Cluster which controls the VTSS indicator LED. The SKIM sends messages to the Instrument Cluster to turn the LED on for about three seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position as a bulb test. After completion of the bulb test, the SKIM sends bus messages to keep the LED off for a dura- tion of about one second. Then the SKIM sends mes- sages to turn the LED on or off based upon the results of the SKIS self-tests. If the VTSS indicator LED comes on and stays on after the bulb test, it indicates that the SKIM has detected a system mal- function and/or that the SKIS has become inopera- tive.
If the SKIM detects an invalid key when the igni- tion switch is turned to the ON position, it sends messages to flash the VTSS indicator LED. The SKIM can also send messages to flash the LED as an indication to the customer that the SKIS has been placed in it’s “Customer Learn” programming mode. See Sentry Key Immobilizer System Transponder Programming in this section for more information on the “Customer Learn” programming mode.
For diagnosis or initialization of the SKIM and the PCM, a DRBIIIt scan tool and the proper Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures manual are required. The SKIM cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the unit must be replaced.

PROGRAMMING
NOTE: There are two procedures for transfering the secret key to the SKIM: † When ONLY the SKIM module is replaced, the secret key is transfered from the PCM to the SKIM. The ORGINAL KEYS may then be programmed to the SKIM. † When ONLY the PCM is replaced, then the secret key is transfered from the SKIM to the PCM. The ORGINAL KEYS may be used. † When BOTH the SKIM and the PCM are replaced the secret key is transferred from the SKIM to the PCM, and NEW KEYS must be pro- grammed.
NOTE: Before replacing the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for a failed driver, control circuit, or ground circuit, be sure to check the related compo- nent/circuit integrity for failures not detected due to a double fault in the circuit. Most PCM driver/con- trol circuit failures are caused by internal compo- nent failures (i.e. relay and solenoids) and shorted circuits (i.e. pull-ups, drivers and switched circuits). These failures are difficult to detect when a double fault has occurred and only one Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) has set.
When a PCM (SBEC) and the Sentry Key Immobi- lizer Module (SKIM) are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in order: (1) Program the new PCM (SBEC). (2) Program the new SKIM. (3) Replace all ignition keys and program them to
the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING THE PCM (SBEC)
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) Secret Key is an ID code that is unique to each SKIM. This code is programmed and stored in the SKIM, PCM and transponder chip (ignition keys). When replacing the PCM it is necessary to program the secret key into the new PCM using the DRBIIIt scan tool. Per- form the following steps to program the secret key into the PCM.

TRANSFER CASE CONTROL MODULE DESCRIPTION
The Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) (Fig. 9) is a microprocessor-based assembly, controlling the 4X4 transfer case shift functions via the actuation of a shift motor and utilizing the feedback of a mode sensor assembly. Communication is via the PCI serial bus. Inputs include user selectable 4X4 modes that include 2WD, 4HI, 4LO, and Neutral. The logic and driver circuitry is contained in a molded plastic hous- ing with an embedded heat-sink and is located behind the left side of the lower instrument panel.
OPERATION
The Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) utilizes the input from the transfer case mounted mode sen- sor, the instrument panel mounted selector switch, and the following information from the vehicle’s PCI serial bus to determine if a shift is allowed.

20 ±1 seconds. If during Sleep Mode the module
detects PCI bus traffic, it will revert to the Reduced
Power mode while monitoring for ignition messages.
It will remain in this state as long as there is traffic
other than run or start messages, and will return to
Sleep mode if the bus goes without traffic for 20 ±1
seconds.

SHIFT SEQUENCES
Once all the driver controllable conditions for the requested shift have been met, the TCCM begins a shift timer with a maximum duration of 1 second per ’D’ channel transition. If the shift timer expires before the TCCM recognizes to correct mode sensor code, the shift is considered to have been blocked. The blocked shift will increment the blocked shift counter by one. The TCCM strategy for handling blocked shifts will be described later. The process the TCCM performs for the various shifts will be described first.

The exception to the preceding sequence is when a shift from 4L to 2WD/AWD is requested. If 2WD/ AWD is requested from the 4L position, the transfer case is first driven to the 4H position. If the 4H posi- tion is reached, the transfer case is then driven back to the 2WD/AWD position and the shift is considered complete. If the transfer case does not reach any the 4H position, but is in the 2WD/AWD ’D’ channel, or the 2WD/AWD between gear position on the 4H side of 2WD/AWD, the shift is also considered complete.

If
BLOCKED SHIFT STRATEGY
When a shift is commanded, the shift motor will be driven towards its destination position, except in the case of shifting out of Neutral if 4L was selected (the transfer case will shift to the 4H position first, before proceeding to 4L). If the shift is blocked on the way to the destination, the TCCM may attempt to drive the motor back to the original position. This process will be allowed to occur 5 times. If the transfer case has reached a non-NEUTRAL ’D’ channel during the shift re-attempts, the LED for the achieved gear posi- tion is illuminated and the shift attempts are stopped. To re-attempt the desired shift, the selector switch will need to be rotated to the current position until the switch debounce timer expires then a shift will need to be requested again.
At the end of the 5th blocked attempt, the shift motor is driven towards the last known ’D’ channel position. If this motor drive allows the transfer case to reach the 2WD/AWD ’D’ channel, or the 2WD/AWD between gear position on the 4H side of 2WD/AWD, the shift is considered complete and the shift attempts are ended.
If the mode sensor is in the NEUTRAL region at the expiration of the shift timer, the TCCM will con- tinue to make the shift attempts according to the blocked shift strategy independent of whether or not the driver controlled conditions are met.
For shifts from NEUTRAL, if all 5 attempts fail to reach the desired position (which by default is 4H), the motor will be driven to stall in the direction of 4H or 4L, depending on the achieved position. If the transfer case has reached the 2WD/AWD or 4L between gear position nearest the NEUTRAL posi- tions and the shift conditions are no longer being met, the transfer case will be driven toward the cor- responding ’D’ channel. Otherwise, the transfer case will be driven in the direction opposite the last attempt with the desired target being 4H or 4L.
If the transfer case reaches the 2WD/AWD ’D’ channel when being driven in the 4H direction, then one final 1.0 second drive toward 4H is attempted. If the transfer case then reaches any of the 4H posi- tions, the shift is considered complete and the 4H LED is illuminated. If the transfer case is still the
2WD/AWD position, the shift is considered complete and the 2WD/AWD LED is illuminated.
NOTE: If after the 5th blocked shift and reversal attempt, if the transfer case position is in the NEU- TRAL region, shift attempts will continue until a non-NEUTRAL ’D’ channel is reached.
SHIFT REVERSAL TARGETS
If the shift timer expires (1 second per ’D’ channel) and the transfer case has not reached the desired position, all shifts will attempt to return to their original position with the exceptions of: † If the intended shift is going to the High rail from Low and can’t make it, but it can make the 2WD/AWD position, the motor stops at that position. The TCCM will not attempt to cross back over NEU- TRAL if it does not have to. This means that there was a block on the first attempt to go to 4H and the transfer case has made it through NEUTRAL to a known good position, then the motor will go back only to the 2WD/4WD position and execute the remainder of the attempts from there. † For shifts out of NEUTRAL, any time a shift is commanded out of NEUTRAL, the system needs to get out. The TCCM should never go to NEUTRAL unless the driver is commanding it and all required conditions are being met
ENCODER DRIFT CORRECTION
Whenever a shift is completed, the TCCM stores the position in memory as the transfer case’s intended position. The TCCM continuously monitors the mode sensor and if the mode sensor drifts toward into a NEUTRAL region sensor position for 2.0 sec- onds, the TCCM will perform a motor drive to correct the drift. The transfer case will be driven toward the intended position for 1.0 seconds 100 msec. The TCCM will wait for 2.0 seconds ±50 msec. and repeat the attempt to shift to the desired position. This will continue until the intended position is reached.
SHIFT MOTOR BRAKING
Two modes of shift motor braking are employed to improve shift performance, static and dynamic. Static shift motor braking is utilized under the following conditions: † Whenever the transfer case is in the 2WD/AWD † Whenever an invalid mode sensor

Static motor braking is achieved by applying +12V

NOTE: Static Shift Motor Braking is independent of ignition key position.
DR TRANSFER CASE CONTROL MODULE (Continued) SHIFT ATTEMPT LIMIT
ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES
8E - 19
To protect the transfer case system, the TCCM will
impose a limit on the number of shifts that can occur
over a calibrated time period. The system will monitor
the number of
’D’ channel segment transitions that
occur in any 30 second time period. If the number of
segment transitions is 30 or greater, the system will go
into a default mode. The default mode of operation for
shifting is that the number of allowed ’D’ channel tran-
sitions permitted to occur will be 3 over each 15 second
±100 msec calibrated window of time. After 5 minutes
±100 msec, the motor can be assumed to have cooled
down and the system will revert to normal operation.
The following rules also apply to the shift limit:
† The attempt limit will not prevent shifts coming
out of NEUTRAL, they will be allowed regardless of
the counter/timer.
† Any shift that is in progress when the counter
reaches a maximum count in time will be allowed to
complete before the default mode is entered. D-chan-
nel transitions during this period will not be counted
towards the default mode limit.
† A block, regardless of the direction, whether
towards destination or back towards reversal target
(shift timer expiring), will count as a value of 2 tran-
sitions towards the 30 segment transitions to go into
default mode as defined above. Current attempt limit
values are 30 transitions in 30 seconds and default
mode values are 3 transitions every 15 seconds for 5
minutes.
TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) (Fig. 10) may be sub-module within the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or a standalone module, depending on the vehicle engine. The PCM, and TCM when equipped, is located at the right rear of the engine compartment, near the right inner fender.
OPERATION
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) controls all electronic operations of the transmission. The TCM receives information regarding vehicle opera- tion from both direct and indirect inputs, and selects the operational mode of the transmission. Direct inputs are hardwired to, and used specifically by the TCM. Indirect inputs are shared with the TCM via the vehicle communication bus. Some examples of direct inputs to the TCM are: † Battery (B+) voltage † Ignition “ON” voltage † Transmission Control Relay (Switched B+)

This is possible through the control of various direct and indirect outputs. Some examples of TCM direct outputs are: † Transmission Control Relay † Solenoids † Torque Reduction Request Some examples of TCM indirect outputs are: † Transmission Temperature (to PCM) † PRNDL Position (to BCM) In addition to monitoring inputs and controlling outputs, the TCM has other important responsibili- ties and functions: † Storing and maintaining Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI)† Storing and selecting appropriate Shift Schedules † System self-diagnostics † Diagnostic capabilities (with DRBIIIt scan tool)

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (Continued)
NOTE: If the TCM has been replaced, the “Quick Learn Procedure” must be performed. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI- CAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/TRANSMIS- SION CONTROL MODULE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
BATTERY FEED
A fused, direct battery feed to the TCM is used for continuous power. This battery voltage is necessary to retain memory in the TCM. When the battery (B+) is disconnected, this memory is lost. When the bat- tery (B+) is restored, this memory loss is detected by the TCM and a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is set.
CLUTCH VOLUME INDEXES (CVI)
An important function of the TCM is to monitor Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI). CVIs represent the vol- ume of fluid needed to compress a clutch pack.
The TCM monitors gear ratio changes by monitor- ing the Input and Output Speed Sensors. The Input, or Turbine Speed Sensor sends an electrical signal to the TCM that represents input shaft rpm. The Out- put Speed Sensor provides the TCM with output shaft speed information.
By comparing the two inputs, the TCM can deter- mine transmission gear position. This is important to the CVI calculation because the TCM determines CVIs by monitoring how long it takes for a gear change to occur (Fig. 11).
Gear ratios can be determined by using the DRBIIIt Scan Tool and reading the Input/Output Speed Sensor values in the “Monitors” display. Gear ratio can be obtained by dividing the Input Speed Sensor value by the Output Speed Sensor value.
For example, if the input shaft is rotating at 1000
rpm and the output shaft is rotating at 500 rpm,
then the TCM can determine that the gear ratio is
2:1. In direct drive (3rd gear), the gear ratio changes
to 1:1. The gear ratio changes as clutches are applied
and released. By monitoring the length of time it
takes for the gear ratio to change following a shift
request, the TCM can determine the volume of fluid
used to apply or release a friction element.
The volume of transmission fluid needed to apply the friction elements are continuously updated for adaptive controls. As friction material wears, the vol- ume of fluid need to apply the element increases.
Certain mechanical problems within the input clutch assembly can cause inadequate or out-of-range element volumes. Also, defective Input/Output Speed Sensors and wiring can cause these conditions. The following chart identifies the appropriate clutch vol- umes and when they are monitored/updated:

SHIFT SCHEDULES
As mentioned earlier, the TCM has programming that allows it to select a variety of shift schedules. Shift schedule selection is dependent on the following: † Shift lever position † Throttle position † Engine load † Fluid temperature † Software level As driving conditions change, the TCM appropri- ately adjusts the shift schedule.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - DRIVE LEARN
When a transmission is repaired and a Quick Learn procedure has been performed on the Trans- mission Control Module (TCM), the following Drive Learn procedure can be performed to fine tune any shifts which are particularly objectionable.
NOTE: It is not necessary to perform the complete Drive Learn procedure every time the TCM is Quick Learned. Perform only the portions which target the objectionable shift.

LEARN A SMOOTH 1ST NEUTRAL TO DRIVE SHIFT
Perform this procedure only if the complaint is for
a delayed or harsh shift the first time the transmis-
sion is put into gear after the vehicle is allowed to
set with the engine not running for at least 10 min-
utes. Use the following steps to have the TCM learn
the 1st N-D UD CVI.

itor Norm N-D UD CVI volume until the value stabi- lizes. The value will change during the N-D shift. This is normal since the UD value is different for the N-D shift then the normal value shown which is used for 4-3 coastdown and kickdowns. Perform repeated shifts in this temperature range until the Norm N-D UD CVI value stabilizes and the N-D shifts become smooth.
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be between 80 - 110°F (27 - 43°C).
(1) Start the engine only when the engine and ignition have been off for at least ten (10) minutes. (2) With the vehicle at a stop and the service brake applied, record the 1st N-D UD CVI while per- forming a Neutral to Drive shift. The 1st N-D UD CVI accounts for air entrapment in the UD clutch that may occur after the engine has been off for a period of time.
(3) Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 until the recorded 1st
N-D UD CVI value stabilizes.
NOTE: It is important that this procedure be per- formed when the transmission temperature is between 80 - 110°F (27 - 43°C). If this procedure takes too long to complete fully for the allowed transmission oil temperature, the vehicle may be returned to the customer with an explanation that the shift will improve daily during normal vehicle usage. The TCM also learns at higher oil tempera- tures, but these values (line pressure correction values) are not available for viewing on the DRBT III.
LEARN A SMOOTH NEUTRAL TO DRIVE GARAGE SHIFT
Perform this procedure if the complaint is for a delayed or harsh shift when the transmission is put into gear after the vehicle has had its first shift. Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the Norm N-D UD CVI.
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be between 80 - 110°F (27 - 43°C) to learn the UD CVI. Additional learning occurs at temperatures as low as 0°F and as high as 200°F. This procedure may be performed at any temperature that experiences poor shift quality. Although the UD CVI may not change, shift quality should improve.
(1) Start the vehicle engine and shift to drive. (2) Move the vehicle forward to a speed of at least 16 km/h (10 MPH) and come to a stop. This ensures no air is present in the UD hydraulic circuit.
(3) Perform repeated N-D shifts at a stop while pausing in Neutral for at least 2-3 seconds and mon-
LEARN THE 1ST 2-3 SHIFT AFTER A RESTART OR SHIFT TO REVERSE
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the
1st 2-3 shift OD CVI.
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 80°F (27°C).
(1) With the vehicle engine running, select reverse
gear for over 2 seconds.
(2) Shift the transmission to Drive and accelerate the vehicle from a stop at a steady 15 degree throttle opening and perform a 2-3 shift while noting the 1st 2-3 OD CVI.
(3) Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 until the 1st 2-3
upshift becomes smooth and the 1st 2-3 OD CVI sta-
bilizes.
LEARN A SMOOTH 2-3 AND 3-4 UPSHIFT
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 110°F (43°C).
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the
OD and 4C CVI’s.
(1) Accelerate the vehicle from a stop at a steady 15 degree throttle opening and perform multiple 1-2, 2-3, and 3-4 upshifts. The 2nd 2-3 shift following a restart or shift to reverse will be shown during the shift as a value between the 1st 2-3 OD CVI and the normal OD CVI. Updates to the normal OD CVI will occur after the 2nd shift into 3rd gear, following a restart or shift to reverse.
(2) Repeat Step 1 until the 2-3 and 3-4 shifts become smooth and the OD and 4C CVI become sta- ble.
LEARN A SMOOTH 4-3 COASTDOWN AND PART THROTTLE 4-3 KICKDOWN
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 110°F (43°C).
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the
UD shift volume.
(1) At a vehicle speed between 64-97 km/h (40-60
MPH), perform repeated 4-3 kickdown shifts.

(2) Repeat Step 1 until the UD volume becomes
somewhat stable and the shift becomes smooth.
LEARN A SMOOTH 1-2 UPSHIFT AND 3-2
KICKDOWN
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the
2C shift volume.
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 110°F (43°C).
(1) With a vehicle speed below 48 km/h (30 MPH) and the transmission in 3rd gear, perform multiple 3-2 kickdowns.
(2) Repeat Step 1 until the 3-2 kickdowns become
smooth and the 2C CVI becomes stable.
LEARN A SMOOTH MANUAL 2-1 PULLDOWN SHIFT AS WELL AS A NEUTRAL TO REVERSE SHIFT
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 110°F (43°C).
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the
LR volume.
(1) With the vehicle speed around 40-48 km/h (25-30 MPH) in Manual 2nd, perform manual pull- downs to Low or 1st gear at closed throttle.
(2) Repeat Step 1 until the LR CVI becomes stable
and the manual 2-1 becomes smooth.
LEARN A SMOOTH NEUTRAL TO REVERSE SHIFT
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 110°F (43°C).
(1) With the vehicle at a stop, perform Neutral to Reverse shifts until the shift is smooth. An unlearned Neutral to Reverse shift may be harsh or exhibit a double bump.
(2) If any of the shifts are still not smooth after the clutch volume stabilizes, an internal transmis- sion problem may be present.
LEARN A SMOOTH 4-5 UPSHIFT
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 110°F (43°C).
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the
Alt 2C CVI.
(1) Accelerate
through 88 km/h (55mph) at a steady 10-15 degree throttle opening and perform multiple 4-5 upshifts.

(2) Repeat Step 1 until
the 4-5 shift become
smooth and theAlt 2C CVI become stable. There is a
separate 2C volume used and learned for 4-5 shifts,
2CA. It is independent of the 2C CVI learned on 3-2
kickdowns.
