P0731-GEAR RATIO ERROR IN 1ST
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.
When Monitored:
The Transmission gear ratio is monitored continuously while the transmission is in gear.
Set Condition:
If the ratio of the Input RPM to the Output RPM does not match the current gearratio when compared to the
known gear ratio.
Possible Causes
RELATED TRANSMISSION DTCS PRESENT
INTERMITTENT GEAR RATIO ERRORS
INTERNAL TRANSMISSION
Always perform the 42RLE Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 -
TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 42RLE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Theory of Operation
The transmission system uses two speed sensors, one to measure input RPM and one to measure output RPM.
These inputs are essential for proper transmission operation. Therefore, the integrity of this data is verified through
data checks. When in gear, if the gear ratio does not compare to a known gear ratio, the corresponding gear ratio
error trouble code is set. The transmission will go into Limp-in mode afterfour gear ratio error events occur in a
given driving cycle.
Diagnostic Test

Theory of Operation
Four solenoids are used to control the friction elements (clutches). The continuity of the solenoids circuits are peri-
odically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off depending on its currentstate. An inductive spike should be
detected by the PCM during this test. If no spike is detected, the circuit istested again to verify the failure. In
addition to the periodic testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a gear ratio or pressure switch error occurs. In this
case, one failure will result in the appropriate DTC being set. The MIL willilluminate and the transmission goes into
neutral, if the DTC is set above 35 Kmh (22 mph), Limp-in mode when vehicle speed is below 35 Kmh (22 mph).

Always perform the 42RLE Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 -
TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 42RLE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Theory of Operation
The Transmission system uses three pressure switches to monitor the fluidpressure in the LR, 2/4, and OD ele-
ments. The pressure switches are continuously monitored for the correct states in each gear. If a set condition is
identified, 1st gear and torque converter lock-up (EMCC) will be inhibited. The vehicle will launch in 2nd gear and
shift normally through the gears without allowing EMCC. If during the samekey start, the set condition is no longer
valid, the transmission will return to normal operation (1st and EMCC available). Limp-in will not occur unless DTC
P0841 is accompanied by a code P0706 and the MIL will illuminate after 5 minutes of substituted operation.
