HIGH
AND LOW
LIMITS

The powertrain control module (PCM) compares in­
put signal voltages from each input device. It will es­
tablish high and low limits that are programmed into it for that device. If the input voltage is not
within specifications and other diagnostic trouble code (DTC) criteria are met, a DTC will be stored in
memory. Other DTC criteria might include engine
rpm limits or input voltages from other sensors or switches. The other inputs might have to be sensed
by the PCM when it senses a high or low input volt­ age from the control system device in question.
ACCESSING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES A stored diagnostic trouble code (DTC) can be dis­
played by cycling the ignition key On-Off-On-Off-On
within three seconds and observing the malfunction indicator lamp. This lamp was formerly referred to
as the check engine lamp. The lamp is located on the
instrument panel.
They can also be displayed through the use of the
Diagnostic Readout Box II (DRB II scan tool). The
DRB II connects to the data link connector in the ve­
hicle (Fig. 37). For operation of the DRB II, refer to
the appropriate Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures service manual.

Fig.
14 Relay Location—Typical The ASD relay supplies battery voltage to the gen­
erator field winding to provide regulation of the
charging system. The ground circuit for the ASD re­
lay is controlled by the PCM. The PCM operates the
relay by switching the ground circuit on and off.

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP-PCM OUTPUT
The malfunction indicator lamp (formerly referred
to as the check engine lamp) illuminates at the bot­
tom of the instrument panel each time the ignition
key is turned on. It will stay on for three seconds as
a bulb test. If the powertrain control module (PCM) receives an
incorrect signal, or no signal from certain sensors or emission related systems, the lamp is turned on. This
is a warning that the PCM has recorded a system or
sensor malfunction. In some cases, when a problem is
declared, the PCM will go into a limp-in mode. This is an attempt to keep the system operating. It signals
an immediate need for service.
The lamp can also be used to display a diagnostic
trouble code (DTC). Cycle the ignition switch
On-Off-
On-Off-On within three seconds and any codes stored
in the PCM memory will be displayed. This is done
in a series of flashes representing digits. Refer to On-
Board Diagnostics in the General Diagnosis section
of this group for more information.

OVERDRIVE
INDICATOR LAMP-PCM OUTPUT
Indicates the state of the overdrive defeat switch
on the instrument panel.

OVERDRIVE
S0LEN0ID-PCM OUTPUT
The overdrive solenoid is used on vehicles that
have an automatic transmission. The solenoid is op­ erated by the PCM. It controls shifting in and out of
overdrive through the overdrive solenoid. Refer to Group 21 for overdrive solenoid service.

SCI
TRANSMIT—PCM OUTPUT
SCI Transmit is the serial data communication
transmit circuit for the DRB II scan tool. The PCM
transmits data to the DRB II through the SCI Trans­
mit circuit.

SPEED
C0NTR0L-PCM OUTPUT
The speed control vacuum and vent solenoids are
operated by the PCM. The vacuum solenoid main­
tains vacuum at a required pressure to resume, set or accelerate the speed control system. The vent so­
lenoid allows vacuum to bleed off during decelera­
tion, when the brakes are applied, or the
transmission is shifted into park or neutral.

TACHOMETER-PCM
OUTPUT
This output generates the necessary signal needed
to operate a dealer installed tachometer (if equipped).
The input for this signal is from the engine speed sensor.

WAIT-TO-START LAMP-PCM OUTPUT
The wait-to-start lamp is turned on and off by the
PCM based on the charge air temperature sensor in­
put. The light is turned on when the ignition is first ac­
tivated. It will remain on for two seconds as a bulb
test. If the PCM reads intake manifold air tempera­
ture below 15°C (59°F), it will turn the wait-to-start light on for the intake heater preheat cycle. The
light stays on until the preheat cycle is over. The wait-to-start light will flash on and off if the
charge air temperature sensor input to the PCM is

Throttle
Position
Sensor
(TPS) Testing
Turn the ignition key to the On position. Check
TPS output voltage at the center terminal wire of the connector. Measure the voltage at idle (throttle lever contacting low idle speed screw) and at wide open
throttle
(WOT).
At idle TPS output voltage should be approximately 1 volt. At wide open throttle, the TPS
output voltage must be 2.25 to 2.75 volts higher than
the reading at idle. The output voltage should in­
crease gradually as the throttle lever is slowly
opened from idle to WOT. If the TPS is not within
the proper range, adjust the sensor. Refer to the Die­ sel Fuel Injection—Service Procedures section of this
group.

ON-BOARD
DIAGNOSTICS
(OBD) The powertrain control module (PCM) has been
programmed to monitor many different circuits. If a
problem is sensed in a monitored circuit often enough to indicate an actual problem, a diagnostic
trouble code (DTC) is stored. The DTC will be stored in the PCM memory for eventual display to the ser­
vice technician. If the problem is repaired or ceases
to exist, the PCM cancels the DTC after 51 engine
starts.

Certain criteria must be met for a diagnostic trou­
ble code (DTC) to be entered into PCM memory. The criteria may be a specific range of engine rpm, en­gine temperature and/or input voltage to the PCM. It is possible that a DTC for a monitored circuit
may not be entered into memory even though a mal­
function has occurred. This may happen because one of the DTC criteria for the circuit has not been met.
ACCESSING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES A stored diagnostic trouble code (DTC) can be dis­
played by cycling the ignition key On-Off-On-Off-On
within three seconds and observing the malfunction indicator lamp. This lamp was formerly referred to
as the check engine lamp. The lamp is located on the
instrument panel.
They can also be displayed through the use of the
Diagnostic Readout Box II (DRB II scan tool). The
DRB II connects to the data link connector in the en­
gine compartment. For operation of the DRB II, refer
to the appropriate Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures service manual.

EXAMPLES

• If the lamp flashes 4 times, pauses and flashes 1
more time, a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) number
41 is indicated.
• If the lamp flashes 4 times, pauses and flashes 6
more times, a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) number 46 is indicated. Refet* to the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) charts
for DTC identification. If the problem is repaired or ceases to exist, the
powertrain control module (PCM) cancels the DTC after 51 engine starts.
Diagnostic trouble codes indicate the results of a
failure, but never identify the failed component di­
rectly.
The circuits of the data link connector are shown
in (Fig. 17).

TORQUE
CONVERTER

A three element torque converter is used. The con­
verter used with 32RH and some 36RH transmis­ sions has a modulated converter clutch. The
converter used with 37RH transmissions is not
equipped with a modulated clutch. The converter used with 1993, 32RH transmissions
is new. The converter hub was changed to accept the
new style drive flats on the oil pump inner gear. The
new style converter is not interchangeable with pre­
vious designs. A 241 or 273 mm (9.5 or 10.75 in.) converter is
used for 3.9L, 5.2L and 5.9L gas engine applications.
A 310 mm (12.2 in.) converter is used for diesel en­
gine applications. The converter impeller is connected to the engine
crankshaft through the front cover which is welded
to the impeller. The turbine is splined to the trans­
mission input shaft and the stator is splined to the transmission reaction shaft. The converter is a welded assembly. It is not a re­
pairable component and is serviced as an assembly.

RECOMMENDED
FLUID
The recommended and preferred fluid for Chrysler
automatic transmissions is Mopar ATF Plus, Type
7176.
Use Mopar Dexron II only when ATF Plus is
not readily available.

Planetary
Gears
The transmission and overdrive planetary gear car­
riers in the 37RH are heavy duty components. The
transmission planetary carriers have four pinion

gears.
The carrier in the overdrive compounder has
five pinion gears.

Clutch
Packs
Front and rear clutch packs used in the 37RH con­
tain 4 discs and 5 steel plates.

Governor
Weight
Assembly
The governor weight assembly is made of alloyed

brass.
The diesel weight assembly is easily identified
by the distinctive gold color of the alloyed material.
The heavier weight assembly provides the shift
points needed to offset lower operating speeds of a diesel engine.
The alloyed weight assembly is unique to the
37RH. It is not interchangeable with the weight as­ semblies used in gas engine versions.

TRANSMISSION
HYDRAULIC
CONTROL
SYSTEM
The transmission hydraulic control system provides
fully automatic operation. The system performs five
basic functions, which are: • pressure supply
• pressure regulation • flow control
• clutch and band application
• lubrication.

Pressure
Supply
The oil pump develops fluid pressure for clutch/
band application and for lubrication. The pump is driven by the torque converter.

Pressure
Regulation
The pressure regulator valve maintains transmis­
sion line pressure. The amount of pressure developed
is controlled by throttle pressure. Throttle pressure is
dependent on the degree of throttle opening. The reg­
ulator valve is located in the valve body.
The throttle valve determines line pressure and
shift speed. The throttle valve also controls upshift
and downshift speeds by regulating pressure accord­
ing to throttle position.
Pressure developed by the governor valve works
with throttle pressure to determine shift points. Gov­ ernor pressure is the speed signal that indicates
when a shift should take place. In operation, gover­
nor pressure increases at a rate approximately the same as vehicle speed.
