The computer reacts to code P1870 by: Raising line pressure to maximum Freezing shift adapts Inhibiting TCC
Any type of slip in 4th gear may lead to code P1870. This means a problem with the 34 clutch, 24 band or the forward clutch could cause this code. So P1870 isnt just related to the TCC or TCC operation. Other causes for code P1870 include: Clutch or servo sealing problems (seals, bushings, shafts, pistons) Friction material damage or improper stacking TCC or its feed circuit is leaking Solenoid problems (hydraulic leakage and low current flow) TCC pressure regulator valve side-loading in the bore, causing it to stick intermittently. This results in low TCC apply pressure.
GENERAL MOTORS
4L60E
This is a very common problem and very often the valve body bore is worn, allowing the valve to cock in the bore. This reduces the amount of TCC apply pressure, resulting in excessive TCC slip. If a possible side loading occurs, replace the valve body or install a TCC pressure regulator valve kit readily available from many aftermarket companies. GM no longer produces new valve bodies as service parts: All valve bodies are now serviced as remanufactured valve bodies only. If no damage is present and you are confident a TCC pressure regulator valve side loading isnt present, replace the TCC PWM solenoid.

New TCC Orifice
The 1997-and-later stator supports use a new design orifice for TCC solenoid feed. This new orifice consists of a metal housing with a plastic insert.
GENERAL MOTORS
4L60E; 1997-on
Under severe overheating conditions, the plastic insert can melt, clogging the orifice. Currently, the orifice isnt serviced separately, which gives you two choices: 1. You can replace the stator support with an earlier PWM support. 2. You can replace the orifice with an orificed cup plug. The cup plug used in earlier supports is too small for the bore, but you can use a larger plug. To do this you first need to enlarge the existing hole.

4L80E applications fail to shift, or will drop into second gear intermittently. The customer may complain that the vehicle is going to neutral at higher road speeds. 4L60Es fail to shift and may drop or stay in 3rd gear when the shift lever is in the OD position. Any or all of these codes may set: P0758, P0785, P1860, P0753, P0740. If the problem is intermittent, the system may not set a code.
This problem is caused by a poor crimp on one of the terminals for circuit 1020.

Slips in 4th; No 4th; Slips in 3rd and 4th; No 3rd or 4th; Possible DTC P0730
Some 4T40E/4T45E transaxles may experience one of the following problems: Slips in 4th or no 4th Slips in 3rd and 4th or no 3rd or 4th Possible code P0730 set in memory
4T40E/4T45E
To diagnose this problem, monitor gear ratio on your scan tool. Typically youll notice an incorrect gear ratio in 4th gear. You should notice this problem in 4th gear before the transaxle develops a ratio error problem in 3rd gear. This is because the torque to the clutches is nearly 100% in 4th but drops to around 60% in 3rd gear. If the problem has been going on for a while, youll see incorrect ratios for 3rd and 4th gears. The correct ratio in 3rd gear is between 0.91:1 and 1.07:1, while 4th gear ratio should remain between 0.61:1 and 0.72:1. The most common causes for this problem are: Direct clutch piston seal delamination Pressure Control Solenoid (PCS)
To identify the possible causes, check the line pressure and compare your pressure readings to the amperage commands in the tables. If line pressure is incorrect, either the pressure control solenoid failed, theres a valve body problem, or the computer isnt providing the proper signal.

If line pressure readings are within specifications, inspect the direct clutch piston for possible seal delamination. If chunks of the seal are missing or if cracks are developing in the seal rubber, the seal is delaminating. The seal used in the direct clutch is a molded design; that is, the piston and seal are a one-piece assembly. An upgraded molded piston has been released. You can identify the new piston by the part number molded into the rubber of the seal. Updated pistons have number 24205044 molded into the seal.

Another possibility is an open or short in the TCC release switch circuit on the PSA. To isolate this problem, use a scan tool and monitor the position of the TCC release switch. With the key on, engine off, monitor the TCC release pressure data. TCC release pressure should indicate NO when monitoring with key on, engine off. If it indicates YES, check the harness for a possible open circuit, wiring damage, or weak terminal pin tension before replacing the switch.

1st Gear Only
A common problem on 97-and-later 4T40E/4T45E applications is a lack of 2nd, 3rd, 4th and reverse gears. This is caused by a broken weld on the reaction sun gear and shell assembly. Typically the friction weld attaching the sun gear to the shell breaks, allowing the sun gear to turn free of the shell. To repair, replace the shell with an updated version. The GM part number for the revised shell is 24204471.
IA G N O S T IC
IP
Heres an easy way to confirm whether the shell is broken: Remove the pan, and then remove intermediate/4th servo assembly. Take the unit out of park. Use a long screwdriver or rod to push up on the band, locking the shell in place. If the shell is broken, youll be able to turn both drive wheels backward at the same time. If the shell is okay, the drive wheels will lock when you try to turn them both backward at the same time. However, both wheels will turn forward, regardless of the condition of the shell.
GENERAL MOTORS
"!
4T40E/4T45E
To repair this problem, clean the unit thoroughly and install a new pump assembly. Both of these failures have been addressed in the service pumps available.
IM P O R T A N T
Another cause for a broken shaft or rotor is high line pressure always check line pressure before delivering the vehicle.

Intermittent No 4th and Possibly No TCC; Possible DTC 31, 91, E91 or P0705
Some applications may experience an intermittent loss of TCC and possibly 4th gear; code 31, 91, E91, P0705 may be stored in memory, depending on the year and model of the vehicle. These codes indicate a misadjusted Transmission Range (TR) switch. On many applications, no code will set; codes arent available for TR switch failures on some vehicles. In that case the computer will inhibit 4th gear as long as it believes the shifter is in D range instead of OD. The PCM programming is designed to inhibit TCC when the code sets. Most shops wont be able to duplicate this condition.

GENERAL MOTORS
"#
4T60E
Intermittent No 4th and Possibly No TCC; Possible DTC 31, 91, E91 or P0705 (continued)
This intermittent problem can be due to a misadjusted TR switch; but it may occur if the driver rests his hand on the shift lever. To identify the source of the problem, monitor the TR switch scan data while applying slight pressure to the shift lever. The correct scan data display for OD range is: A = HI, B = LO, C = LO, P = HI On Cadillacs, the values may be listed as binary code values where a HI is represented by 1, and low is 0. If the scan data indicates LO/LO/LO/LO, adjust the sensor and recheck the scan values. If the scan values remain LO/LO/LO/LO, inspect the wiring. If you dont find any problems in the wiring, replace the TR switch.

Harsh Reverse
A harsh reverse condition is often caused by a worn out pressure regulator bore. Saturn offers a kit that includes the valve body half (with regulator valve) and gaskets. The Saturn part number for the kit is 21005813. When the pressure regulator bore wears out, line pressure will go higher than commanded. To verify line pressure, follow the procedures on page 62.

Pressure Testing
Normal line pressure in park ranges from a minimum of 5872 PSI at an idle to a maximum of 175-245 PSI. There are two methods you can use to check line pressure: The first is the easiest and is for checking minimum and maximum pressures. Heres how: Connect a pressure gauge to the line pressure port.
Line Pressure
With the engine idling and the transmission in park you should have between 58 and 72 PSI.
GENERAL MOTORS
$!
Saturn TAAT
When you remove the fuse, line pressure should rise to between 175 and 245 PSI. You may need to raise engine RPM a bit to achieve maximum pressure. The second method for checking line pressure is by commanding pressure rise with a scan tool and verifying the results with a pressure gauge. Begin this test by connecting your scan tool to the diagnostic connector. Dont start the engine yet. Scroll through the menu until you get to Special Tests. Select Line Pressure. The scan tool will prompt you to start Command Line Pressure Gauge Readings Should Be: the engine. kP a PSI kP a PSI Select Run.

.alse Codes
False codes can be set by false signals from the transmission range sensor. For example: If the transmission range sensor signals OD range, but youre actually in manual low, the computer will expect to see an upshift.
Possible Causes
1) 2) 3) 4) Internal components (see component failure chart for more detail) Hydraulically bad shift solenoids Sticky valves Bad transmission range sensor
Common Causes
1) Low line pressure or poor line rise 2) Bad servos 3) Internal components
&%
Diagnostic Suggestions
Determine whether youre reading a false code or a real ratio error. 1) Drive the vehicle on the road until the code resets. Does the transmission have the gear in question? 2) Drive the vehicle on the rack with no load to see if the code sets.
Results w hen Code Sets Road Test Missing Gear Missing Gear Slips in Gear Gear Feels Fine Gear Feels Fine Rack Test Missing Gear Has Gear Has Gear No Code Sets Has Gear Probable Cause Bad Solenoids; Sticky Valves; Internal Components Internal Components Internal Components Internal Components False Code
This chart is based on logic. For example, if you had a 4R44E setting a code P0734 (4th gear ratio error), it could be a control problem (sticky 34 shift valve or a bad SS3), an internal component (bad OD servo or a bad OD band) or it could be a false code (range sensor or even a computer). If it is missing or slipping in gear, it cant be a false code. If it has the gear at fault but slips it cant be a control problem or a false code. If it sets the code on the rack, its very likely its a false code, because on the rack theres no load.

Many things can set ratio codes. This chart only displays the major ones.

CD4E
No .orward
A CD4E that wont move forward can be caused by a misaligned rear ring gear shaft. This causes a side load on the gear train, popping the forward clutch snap ring loose. If you run into this problem, replace the clutch drum and snap ring, naturally, but also replace the ring gear. There are two ring gears, based on which engine you have. The part numbers for these ring gears are: F3RZ-7A153-B (2.0L) F3RZ-7A153-A (2.5L)

No Reverse
After a rebuild or repair, some CD4Es may not have reverse. This can be caused by installing the solenoid housing gasket backward. To repair this condition, remove the housing, and make sure the gasket seals the oil passages properly.

E4OD/4R100
Checkball Locations
Ford has made several changes to the case and valve body on the E4OD (labeled the 4R100 starting in 1998). The first was in 1996. These models have a different case, separator plate and valve body, compared to 1990 through 95 models. Consequently, the checkball locations also changed. Identifying the case is easy: 1990 through 95 models had a Rough Forge number beginning with F0.

Transaxle Identification
The 41TE transaxle is used in many of Chryslers front wheel drive vehicles. There are many different units, based on the application. One of the biggest differences in these variations is transfer gear and final drive ratios. Chrysler uses a sticker, located on top of the bell housing, to identify the unit. The following chart shows transaxle application based on the ID code. The chart also shows the tooth counts of the output gear, transfer gear, pinion gear, and final drive ring gear. This is useful information, particularly if your working on a vehicle you suspect has the wrong transaxle.

To check the ground on the computer measure the voltage at the temperature sensor wire (pin 13 or 14, depending on model); it should be less than 0.5 volts. If the ground is okay, replace the wire to the temperature sensor. If the voltage is high, check for a bad ground to the computer (use the computer wiring charts to identify the grounds for the vehicle youre working on. The ground wires to the computer should be below 0.1 volts.

Make sure you install the bearing and washer before you place the piston on top of the OD section.
2. While pressing down on the piston check for about 0.010" of jiggle in the extra steel you placed in the OD section. Increase or decrease the thickness of the selective until you get about 0.010" of play in the OD pack. 3. Once you have the correct selective washer, remove the extra OD steel place and reinstall the wire snap ring.

Converter Drainback
Converter drainback can be caused by a leak at the intermediate shaft sealing ring. Isuzu now uses a solid Teflon sealing ring for this location. Isuzu part number 8-96041-327-0 includes the solid ring and sizing tool. The ring isnt available through Isuzu separately; if you already have the sizing tool, check with your local aftermarket supplier to see if they can supply you with the ring.

Delays .orward
A forward delay is usually caused by poor feed to the servo. In many cases this is caused by a restricted band solenoid. The solenoid screen breaks apart and gets stuck in the solenoid, restricting flow to the servo. Its a good idea to replace the band solenoid and screen during every rebuild.

Problem Indication
To indicate a computer system problem or display diagnostic trouble codes, Isuzu trucks flash the Economy light on the dash.
Once you know theres a code in memory, there are two different procedures for retrieving and reading the codes, depending on vehicle year. The easiest way to determine which procedure to follow is to try the procedure for early systems: If the system displays codes, you chose correctly; if not, look for the diagnostic link connector, required for the second procedure. On each system, the computer displays the codes by flashing the Economy light on the dash.
Now youre ready to begin the procedure to display diagnostic trouble codes:

A 2-3 flare in a G4AEL can be very difficult to diagnose. To add to the frustration, you have the customer, the center manager, and maybe even the dog pressuring you to fix it now! Because of the additional pressure, youre often forced to do things that wont really fix the problem; rather, they simply overcome it or cover up the problem. One of two things is almost certain: Itll probably come back fried within 6 months, and Since you never really found the problem, its very likely that the next five G4AEL transmissions you rebuild will do the same thing.
There are a number of things that cause problems in the 34 clutch drum. Many of them can be prevented during the original rebuild.
Try to get 3rd clutch clearance between 0.030"0.045". The shorter the distance the piston has to travel, the less volume necessary to apply the clutch.

Step 2: The Differential
Take the extra 15 minutes to disassemble the differential completely. The output gear has two Teflon rings that seal the 3rd clutch drum. The best working ring available for this application is machined Teflon. You can identify these rings by their absence of molding marks; all you should see are machining marks. Because these rings are machined, theyre held to a much tighter tolerance.

One of the most critical parts of the 3rd clutch circuit is the Teflon ring on the input shaft. It can be difficult to find a ring to fit properly. Sometimes the only alternative is to custom fit your own. Butt cut a larger ring to fit.

Step 4: Air Testing
23 .lare (continued)
Air checking the 3rd clutch is critical to avoid a 2-3 flare. If you dont air check the 3rd clutch properly, you can easily create a problem. The transmission must be completely assembled with the pump bolted to the case before you apply any air to the 3rd clutch. If you try to air check the 3rd clutch before bolting the pump in place, air pressure will force the input shaft upward. This allows the Teflon ring to come out of its bore and separate. When the drum comes back down the ring is cut. In some cases you wont notice the cut ring.

Step 5: The Valve Body
While youre rebuilding the valve body, there are some things that should become part of your normal rebuild procedure. Flat sand all surfaces of the valve body with 180220 grit sandpaper. Use a machined surface or a thick piece of glass; never use a file. Many of the circuits inside the small channel cover and directly below it are for 3rd gear pressure, making this a very critical area for flatness. Enlarge the 3rd clutch apply orifice to 0.041".

The 12 accumulator is commonly overlooked when dealing with a 23 flare. 3rd clutch pressure routes between the two O-rings of the 12 accumulator. During the 23 upshift, the computer turns the 12 shift solenoid off, which exhausts 2nd apply pressure. This computer strategy causes some hard-to-find problems.
One of those hard-to-find problems is a 23 flare. This occurs when the 12 shift solenoid hydraulic circuit reacts faster than 23 shift solenoid hydraulic circuit. This releases the band before the 3rd clutch has even begun to apply. This is a difficult problem to identify when its in the vehicle, and impossible to find if someone yanked out the transmission before it was diagnosed properly.

Step 6: The Last Resort
23 .lare (continued)
There is no accurate test for a 23 flare, because the only test that works depends greatly on your judgement. With a 0100 PSI gauge on the 3rd gear pressure tap, monitor how the pressure rises during the very beginning of the flare. If you see about 30 PSI, the problem is usually internal. But if theres 0 PSI at the beginning of the flare, its because the 12 shift valve downshifted quicker than the 23 shift valve. Theres another way you can identify whether a 23 flare is due to a shift valve timing problem or an internal leak: If the 23 flare is caused by an internal leak, it will usually get worse as the transmission gets hot. A 23 flare caused by shift valve timing problems tend to get less noticeable when hot, because the shift solenoids receive more volume as the oil thins out.

While the 23 shift solenoid can cause a 23 flare, its highly unlikely. Dont waste your time and money on a set of new shift solenoids; its very rare to find a bad solenoid. To correct a shift valve timing problem, you can enlarge the 23 solenoid feed hole to 0.041". This will lessen the time the 23 shift valve takes to move after the solenoid closes.

Never modify this plate unless youre faced specifically with a 23 flare. If you perform this modification on a unit thats working properly, it could cause a 23 bind.

Misdiagnosed Problems
The G4AEL computer never reads actual vehicle speed during normal operation (no codes in memory). Thats because the computer only uses the signal from the output speed sensor if the input speed sensor fails. Instead, the computer calculates vehicle speed from the input RPM, based on the gear command. This works just fine as long as the transmission is working properly. But when internal problems occur, such as forward clutch slip or sticking shift valves, to name a few, the computer can no longer calculate vehicle speed accurately. Whats more, the computer doesnt look for ratio errors. Because of this, many symptoms that may seem to be caused by a computer-commanded electrical problem are actually misdiagnosed or overlooked internal problems. Problems such as 2nd gear starts, 34 shift hunting, shifts 4231, or shifts 134 can be very difficult to diagnose without looking at the signals the computer receives. This chart shows the vehicle speed, based on input RPM and gear range. This will allow you to see what the computer sees. The difference is that you, unlike the computer, are smart enough to recognize a problem when you see it. Well refer to this chart when discussing these types of symptoms.

34 Shift Hunt
Common Cause
Even though this condition appears to be commanded by the computer, the problem is usually caused by a very small piece of dirt stuck in the 34 shift solenoid feed circuit.
Quick Verification
Monitor the 12 shift solenoid signal. If the 12 shift solenoid is the only one being commanded to cycle on and off, the problem is in the 34 shift solenoid feed circuit.
The .ix
Because the problem is usually caused by a very small piece of dirt stuck in the 34 shift solenoid feed circuit, disassemble the valve body and inspect the 34 shift solenoid feed orifice. If the hole isnt plugged, try enlarging it to 0.041". This should overcome any small leaks caused by normal wear.

Shifts 4231
Common Cause
A 4231 upshift is usually caused by the 12 and the 23 shift solenoids wiring being crossed. The picture shows the proper placement for the two shift solenoids.
Quick Verification
Use the shift solenoid pattern command chart with the ratio chart to see which patterns give you the proper gear ratios. If you use your imagination while looking over your results youll be able to verify whether you have the wires crossed to the 12 and 23 shift solenoids.
The .ix
If the valve body cover is off, switch the wiring for the 12 and 23 shift solenoids to their proper positions (green wire on top, blue wire in the center). If the side cover is still bolted to the case and youre in a hurry, simply cut the 12 and the 23 solenoid wires and cross them.

209
Mazda G4AEL
Shifts 134
Common Cause
If the computer is commanding 1234 but the transmission is shifting 134, it can only be caused by a leak at the large diameter seal on the 12 accumulator. Since 3rd clutch apply pressure feeds between the two sealing rings on the 12 accumulator, servo apply pressure can only leak past the large diameter ring if 3rd gear apply pressure isnt there to stop the leak. Once in 3rd gear, servo apply pressure doesnt leak.
Quick Verification
Verify the computer is commanding 2nd gear and that 4th gear is good. If so, the problem is a cut 12 accumulator seal.

42 and 43 .lare
Common Cause
Although a 42 flare is much more common, 42, 43 and 32 flares can all be caused by a worn forward sprag.
Quick Verification
To verify whether the sprag is at fault, disconnect the 34 shift solenoid electrical connector. When the 34 solenoid is off, the coast clutch stays applied in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears, which helps support the forward sprag. Although this wont allow 4th gear, drive the vehicle making several 32 kickdowns. If the flare has improved, the sprag is bad.

While inspecting the forward sprag assembly, keep in mind a little wear goes a long way. Be extremely picky.

Code 06
Definition: VSS (output speed sensor) Sensor Location: Either on the differential, driven directly from the speedometer gears, or inside the speedometer in the dash. How the Code Sets: The computer must see all of these conditions to set a code 06. 1) Receive a Manual D, S, or L signal from the inhibitor switch. 2) Receive a signal from the input speed sensor (pulse generator). 3) Receive no signal from the output speed sensor. Common Causes: Melted speedometer gears, bad wiring, blown dash fuse (in some applications). Causes of False Codes: 1) An inhibitor switch that signals Manual D, S or L while the transmission is actually in neutral or park. Forward clutch slip can easily set this code. 2) When retrieving codes, 6 short flashes represent a code 06 while 6 slightly longer flashes represent a code 60. Most code 06 problems are actually a misread code 60. (This is when knowing computer code strategies can really help you).

Common Causes: Pinched wires inside the transmission, bad section in harness wiring (especially in the area around the battery box), bad connection at the solenoids or at the computer. Causes of False Codes: None Computer Strategy: The computer simply stops using the solenoid that set the code. Solenoids without codes are used normally. This presents some very odd shift complaints as shown below. Code 60: 1st and 3rd gear only. Code 61: Shifts 3434. Code 62: No 4th gear, 23 flare in some cases. Code 63: No lockup. The Fix: Only a few things cause shift solenoid codes. 1) Bad solenoid very uncommon. 2) Bad computer very uncommon. 3) Bad wiring or connections almost every time.

Kill the Hold Mode
When selected, the Hold Mode tells the computer to provide 2nd gear starts and shift into 3rd at a very low speed. In this mode you will also have no kickdown and, if driven long enough, the transmission will likely die. The only usable function is to cancel overdrive. Unfortunately many customers like to use this feature, not realizing what theyre doing to the transmission. During some extensive research, we wanted to see what strategies the fluid temperature switch would cause. It took 2 hours of driving to realize what this switch would do when shorted. It turned the wicked Hold Mode into a sweet OD cancel switch. Whether or not its a secret input created by Mazda engineers (because they hate the Hold Mode too) who cares? Weve tested it on enough models to feel confident that its not a fluke. If you want to turn the Hold Mode into an OD cancel switch, disconnect the fluid temperature switch and short the two wires from the harness connector together.

If you have more than 0.01 volts at the case, add a ground strap. You may also have a poor connection at the negative post of the battery. Make sure the connection is clean and tight. 2. A missing torque converter pilot bushing: The crankshaft has a bushing that works as a pilot for the torque converter. Its not uncommon for this bushing to seize to the converter pilot; when you remove the trans, the pilot comes out with the torque converter. Then, when you install the replacement converter, the crankshaft has no pilot bushing, so the converter mounts off-center. Always make sure the converter you send out for rebuild doesnt have a pilot bushing stuck to it. And more importantly, make sure the bushing is in the crankshaft when you install the transmission.

The transfer clutch is controlled by duty solenoid C. When the solenoid receives a 95% duty cycle signal, the transfer clutch is fully released; at 25% the transfer clutch is fully applied. During failsafe or power loss to the system, the solenoid will put the unit into full time all-wheel drive. Heres how to check the transfer clutch system on these vehicles:
Solenoid C
Step 1: Check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). The procedure for checking trouble codes varies from year to year, and model to model. Always check your shop manual for the proper procedure for the vehicle youre working on. Step 2: Disable the transfer clutch.

If the voltage doesnt respond properly to throttle opening, check the circuit between the solenoid and the computer. If the voltage responds properly to throttle opening but pressure doesnt, look for a bad solenoid or a sticking transfer clutch valve. If the voltage and pressure respond properly to throttle opening, look for a damaged transfer clutch assembly; the transfer clutches are probably seized.

VOLTS AMPS OHMS
With Ohms Law, as long as you have any two circuit values, you can easily calculate the third: Volts Amps = Ohms Volts Ohms = Amps Amps x Ohms = Volts
Electrical Power
WATTS VOLTS AMPS
A measurement of power developed in an electrical circuit. Just like with Ohms Law, whenever you have two measurements, you can calculate the third. Watts Volts = Amps Watts Amps = Volts Volts x Amps = Watts

that electrical flow is from positive to negative. More recent studies show that electrons actually flow from negative to positive, but most texts still prefer to use the conventional model. Current Electron flow through a circuit, current is measured in amps. De-energize To turn off, or shut down a circuit or component. Digital On/off signal. A series of pulses that are either on or off, which provide information by varying frequency, or which control a circuit by varying frequency, duty cycle or ontime. Digital Multimeter Also DMM; DVOM; Digital Volt-Ohmmeter. Electrical device that provides measurements of electrical circuits, using a digital display. Digital meters and oscilloscopes read a circuit through sampling; how accurate your measurement is depends on how many samples the meter takes per second. Digital Volt-Ohmmeter See Digital Multimeter. Distributorless Ignition System Also Electronic Ignition. A type of ignition that doesnt use a distributor to provide spark to the cylinders. These systems usually provide spark through a process known as wastespark; a process which provides spark to two cylinders at once. One cylinder fires; the other receives spark on its exhaust stroke that cylinders spark is wasted. Ford uses this term to identify one of its electronic ignition system.

along the resistor. Powertrain Control Module Also PCM. SAE J-1930 term for a computer that controls engine and transmission operation. A PCM may also control other systems, including cruise control, A/C system, antilock brakes, etc., but it must control engine and transmission to be called a PCM. See also ECM, TCM. Pulse Generator An AC generator that develops a frequency signal that varies with the rotational speed of an internal transmission component, such as a sun shell, turbine shaft or output ring gear. The computer uses this signal to measure the components RPM. From this, the computer can determine when to shift, when a shift is complete, or if a clutch is slipping. Pulse Width Modulated Also PWM. A signal that varies its relationship between on-time and off-time. Pulse width modulated signals usually control a computer output device, such as an electronic pressure control solenoid: The longer the signal on-time, the longer the solenoid remains open, so the lower mainline pressure becomes. See Duty Cycle. Relay An electrical device that allows a low current circuit to control a high current circuit. Energizing a relay energizes an electromagnet, which opens or closes a set of contacts, to provide power or ground to a circuit that would normally require too much current for the device controlling the circuit.
