4. Rotate the TTVA (1) to the transmission case and
install the bolts (2) to hold the TTVA to the trans-
mission.
5. Tighten the bolts to 8.5 Nꞏm (75 in.lbs.).
6. Initialize the TTVA (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/
AUTOMATIC - 48RE/THROTTLE VALVE ACTUA-
TOR - ADJUSTMENTS).
ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTMENT
The Transmission Throttle Valve Actuator (TTVA) does not require any mechanical adjustments. All changes in throt-
tle valve position are controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM).
The TTVA does require an initialization period after the actuator has beenremoved or replaced. After the actuator
has been removed or replaced, move the iginition to the ON position for thirty (30) seconds. This will allow the ECM
sufficient time to perform the internal calibration procedures to learn the TTVA’s current “zero” position. Once this is
done, check the ECM for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). If no DTCs are set relating to the TTVA, the TTVA is fully
calibrated and ready for use.

VALVE-TORQUE CONVERTER DRAINBACK
DESCRIPTION
GAS ENGINES
The drainback valve is located in the transmission cooler outlet (pressure) line.
DIESEL ENGINE
The converter drainback check valve is located in the in the TOC pressure - supply line, between the engine
mounted TOC and the air to oil TOC.
OPERATION
GAS ENGINES
The valve prevents fluid from draining from the converter into the cooler and lines when the vehicle is shut down for
lengthy periods. Production valves have a hose nipple at one end, while theopposite end is threaded for a flare
fitting. All valves have an arrow (or similar mark) to indicate direction of flow through the valve.
DIESEL ENGINE
The valve prevents fluid from draining from the converter into the cooler and lines when the vehicle is shut down for
lengthy periods. Production valves have pipe thread on one end, while the opposite end is threaded for a flare
fitting, and are threaded into the oil cooler mounted on the side of the engine. All valves have an arrow (or similar
mark) to indicate direction of flow through the valve.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
GAS ENGINES
The converter drainback check valve is located in the cooler outlet (pressure) line near the radiator tank. The valve
prevents fluid drainback when the vehicle is parked for lengthy periods. The valve check ball is spring loaded and
has an opening pressure of approximately 2 psi.
The valve is serviced as an assembly; it is not repairable. Do not clean the valve if restricted, or contaminated by
sludge, or debris. If the valve fails, or if a transmission malfunction occurs that generates significant amounts of
sludge and/or clutch particles and metal shavings, the valve must be replaced.
If the valve is restricted, installed backwards, or in the wrong line, it will cause an transmission overheating condition
and possible transmission failure.
CAUTION: The drainback valve is a one-way flow device. It must be properly orientedintermsofflowdirec-
tion for the cooler to function properly. The valve must be installed in thepressure line. Otherwise flow will
be blocked and would cause an transmission overheating condition and eventual transmission failure.

Over inflation will cause rapid center wear (1) reduc-
tion in the tire’s ability to cushion shocks.
Improper inflation can cause:
Uneven wear patterns
Reduced tread life
Reduced fuel economy
Unsatisfactory ride
Vehicle drift
For proper tire pressure specification refer to the vehicles Owners Manual.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
PRESSURE GAUGES
A quality air pressure gauge is recommended to check tire pressure. After checking the air pressure, replace valve
cap finger tight.
TIRE NOISE OR VIBRATION
Radial-ply tires are sensitive to force impulses caused by improper mounting, vibration, wheel defects, or possibly
tire imbalance.
To find out if tires are causing the noise or vibration, drive the vehicle over a smooth road at varying speeds. Note
the noise level during acceleration and deceleration. The engine, differential and exhaust noises will change as
speed varies, while the tire noise will usually remain constant.
TREAD WEAR INDICATORS
Tread wear indicators (3) are molded into the bottom
of the tread grooves. When tread depth is 1.6 mm
(1/16 in.), the tread wear indicators (3) will appear as
a 13 mm (1/2 in.) band.
Tire replacement is necessary when indicators appear
in two or more grooves or if localized balding occurs.

denser Fan Control Output circuit at the Condenser Fan Motor harness
connector.
