crayon or chalk.
6. While holding the crayon or chalk against the tire, rotate the wheel slowly in the opposite direction until the feeling of driving the rear axle is encountered again.
7. Measure the length of the crayon or chalk mark on the tire. zIf the length of the mark is 25.4 mm (1 inch) or less, the rear axle backlash is within
allowable limits.
z If the chalk mark is greater than 25.4 mm (1 inch), check for these conditions:
„Elongation of the differential pinion shaft and holes in the differential case (4204).
„ Missing differential pinion thrust washer (4230) or differential side gear thrust
washer (4228).
„ Galling of the differential pinion shaft (4211) and bore.
„ Excessive ring gear and pinion backlash. Follow the procedure for the type of rear
axle to check backlash.
Axle Shaft Bearing Noise
Axle bearing shaft noise is similar to gear noise and differential pinion bearing whine. Axle shaft
bearing noise will usually distinguish itself from gear noise by occurring in all driving modes (drive,
coast, and float), and will persist with the transmission in NEUTRAL while the vehicle is moving at the
speed in which the concern is occurring. If the vehicle makes this noise, remove the suspect axle
shaft, install a new bearing and a new axle seal. Re- evaluate the vehicle for noise before removing any
internal components.
Bearing Rumble
Bearing rumble sounds like marbles being tumbled. This condition is usually caused by a
worn/damaged wheel bearing. The lower pitch is because the wheel bearing turns at only about one-
third of the driveshaft speed. Wheel bearing noise also may be high- pitched, similar to gear noise, but
will be evident in all four driving modes.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Transmission Description
The 4R70W has the following features:
zWide ratio gears
z Four speeds
z Rear wheel drive
z Automatic
z Electronic shift
z Torque converter clutch control
z Line pressure controls
The transmission uses Ravigneaux- style double-pinion gearset with two bands, one one- way roller
clutch, one mechanical diode and four friction clutches to produce four forward gears and Reverse.

The generic electronic module (GEM) is on the ISO 9141 network. The GEM module controls a variety
of systems including one touch down windows, wipers, perimeter anti-
theft, and warning chimes. For
additional information, refer to Section 419 - 10 .
The anti- lock brake control module communicates over the ISO 9141 communication network when
not equipped with traction control and communicates over the SCP communication network when it is
equipped with the traction control option. The anti- lock brake control module controls the brake
pressure to the four wheels to keep the vehicle under control while braking. For additional information
on anti- lock brake control module without traction control, refer to Section 206 - 09A . For additional
information on anti- lock brake control module with traction control, refer to Section 206 - 09B .
The instrument cluster is on the SCP communication network. The instrument cluster displays driver
information. The instrument cluster incorporates the PATS control module functions. For additional
information on the PATS system, refer to Section 419 - 01 . For additional information on the instrument
cluster, refer to Section 413 - 01 .
Inspection and Verification 1. Verify the customer concern.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of electrical damage.
3. If the concern remains after the inspection, connect diagnostic tool to the data link connector (DLC) located beneath the instrument panel and select the vehicle to be tested from diagnostic
tool menu. If diagnostic tool does not communicate with the vehicle:
zcheck that the program card is correctly installed.
z check that the correct version of the program card is installed.
z check the connections to the vehicle.
z check the ignition switch position.
If the diagnostic tool still does not communicate with the vehicle, go to Pinpoint Test H. 4. Go to Pinpoint Test PC.
