SENSOR-TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE
DESCRIPTION
Transmission fluid temperature readings are supplied
to the transmission control module by the thermistor.
The temperature readings are used to control engage-
ment of the fourth gear overdrive clutch, the converter
clutch, and governor pressure. Normal resistance
value for the thermistor at room temperature is
approximately 2000 ohms.
The thermistor is part of the governor pressure sensor
assembly (2) and is immersed in transmission fluid at
all times.
OPERATION
The PCM prevents engagement of the converter clutch and overdrive clutch,when fluid temperature is below
approximately 10°C (50°F).
If fluid temperature exceeds 126°C (260°F), the PCM causes a 4-3 downshiftand engage the converter clutch.
Engagement is according to the third gear converter clutch engagement schedule.
The Tow/Haul lamp in the instrument panel illuminates when the shift back to third occurs. The transmission will not
allow fourth gear operation until fluid temperature decreases to approximately 110°C (230°F).

CLEANING
Clean the valve housings, valves, plugs, springs, and separator plates with a standard parts cleaning solution only.
Do not use gasoline, kerosene, or any type of caustic solution.
Do not immerse any of the electrical components in cleaning solution. Clean the governor solenoid and sensor and
the dual solenoid and harness assembly by wiping them off with dry shop towels only.
Dry all except the electrical parts with compressed air. Make sure all passages are clean and free from obstructions.
Do not use rags or shop towels to dry or wipe off valve body components. Lint from these materials can
stick to valve body parts, interfere with valve operation, and clog filters and fluid passages.
Wipe the governor pressure sensor and solenoid valve with dry, lint free shop towels only. The O-rings on the sen-
sor and solenoid valve are the only serviceable components. Be sure the vent ports in the solenoid valve are open
and not blocked by dirt or debris. Replace the valve and/or sensor only whenDRB scan tool diagnosis indicates this
is necessary. Or, if either part has sustained physical damage (dented, deformed, broken, etc.).
CAUTION: Do not turn the small screw at the end of the solenoid valve for any reason. Turning the screw
in either direction will ruin solenoid calibration and result in solenoidfailure. In addition, the filter on the
solenoid valve is NOT serviceable. Do not try to remove the filter as this will damage the valve housing.
INSPECTION
Inspect the throttle and manual valve levers and shafts. Do not attempt to straighten a bent shaft or correct a loose
lever. Replace these components if worn, bent, loose or damaged in any way.
Inspect all of the valve body mating surfaces for scratches, nicks, burrs,or distortion. Use a straightedge to check
surface flatness. Minor scratches may be removed with crocus cloth using only very light pressure.
Minor distortion of a valve body mating surface may be corrected by smoothing the surface with a sheet of crocus
cloth. Position the crocus cloth on a surface plate, sheet of plate glass orequally flat surface. If distortion is severe
or any surfaces are heavily scored, the valve body will have to be replaced.
CAUTION: Many of the valves and plugs, such as the throttle valve, shuttle valve plug, 1-2 shift valve and
1-2 governor plug, are made of coated aluminum. Aluminum components are identified by the dark color of
thespecialcoatingappliedtothesurface(orbytestingwithamagnet).Donot sand aluminum valves or
plugs under any circumstances. This practice could damage the special coating causing the valves/plugs to
stick and bind.
Inspect the valves and plugs for scratches, burrs, nicks, or scores. Minorsurface scratches on steel valves and
plugs can be removed with crocus cloth butdo not round off the edges of the valve or plug lands.Maintaining
Page 4007 of 5267

sharpness of these edges is vitally important. The edges prevent foreign matter from lodging between the valves
and plugs and the bore.
Inspect all the valve and plug bores in the valve body. Use a penlight to viewthe bore interiors. Replace the valve
body if any bores are distorted or scored. Inspect all of the valve body springs. The springs must be free of dis-
tortion, warpage or broken coils.
Check the two separator plates for distortion or damage of any kind. Inspect the upper housing, lower housing, 3-4
accumulator housing, and transfer plate carefully. Be sure all fluid passages are clean and clear. Check condition of
the upper housing and transfer plate check balls as well. The check balls and ball seats must not be worn or dam-
aged.
Trial fit each valve and plug in its bore to check freedom of operation. Whenclean and dry, the valves and plugs
shoulddropfreelyintothebores.
Valve body bores do not change dimensionally with use. If the valve body functioned correctly when new, it will
continue to operate properly after cleaning and inspection. It should notbe necessary to replace a valve body
assembly unless it is damaged in handling.
The only serviceable valve body components are listed below. The remaining valve body components are serviced
only as part of a complete valve body assembly. Serviceable parts are:
dual solenoid and harness assembly
solenoid gasket
solenoid case connector O-rings and shoulder bolt
switch valve and spring
pressure adjusting screw and bracket assembly
throttle lever
manual lever and shaft seal
throttle lever shaft seal, washer, and E-clip
fluid filter and screws
detent ball and spring
valve body screws
governor pressure solenoid
governor pressure sensor and retaining clip
park lock rod and E-clip
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION: Do not force valves or plugs into place during reassembly. If the valve body bores, valves and
plugs are free of distortion or burrs, the valve body components should allslide into place easily. In addi-
tion, do not overtighten the transfer plate and valve body screws during reassembly. Overtightening can
distort the housings resulting in valve sticking, cross leakage and unsatisfactory operation. Tighten valve
body screws to recommended torque only.
