GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 4L30-E is a 4-speed fully-automatic transmission.
It uses a microcomputer as a control unit to judge
running conditions
including throttle opening rate
and vehicle speed, then
it sets the shifting point in
the
optimum timing so that best driving performance
can be achieved.
In addition, the built-in shift mode select function can
select three shift modes according to the driver's
preference.
• Normal mode-Normal shift pattern.
• Winter mode-Starts in 3rd gear to reduce
slippage on ice
or snow.
• Power mode has a delayed upshift for when
more powerful acceleration is required.
Also, the built-in fail-safe
function ("backup mode")
assures driving performance even if the vehicle
speed sensor,
throttle signal or any solenoid fails.
Further, the self-diagnostic
function conducts diag­
nosis in a short time when the control system fails,
thus improving serviceability.
The major features of 4L30-E are as follows:
• A compact structure consisting of 2 sets of
planetary gears and flat torque converter.
• Electronic control selects the optimum shift
mode according
to the driving conditions.
• Electronic control maintains the optimum hy­
draulic pressure for clutch, band brake as well as
transmission so that shift feeling is improved.
• Two sets of planetary gears reduce friction of
power train.
Also, a lock-up mechanism in the torque con­
verter reduces fuel consumption.
• Wide gear ratio and high torque rate of torque
converter provide
excellent starting perform­
ance.
MODEL YEAR 1994-95 CHANGES
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) for ISUZU
TROOPER
models equipped with 4L30-E is changed
from "BOSCH" to "DELCO ELECTRONICS"
manufacture.
The main differences
which will be encountered
while servicing concerned vehicles are as follows:
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC):
DTC's are changed: For example, DTC for
transmission gear error will be as follows depending
on the TCM unit:
-
On the "DELCO" unit (1994-95) ......... DTC 61
-On the "BOSCH" unit (1993-prior) ..... DTC 41
TCM Pin Connector:
The pin connector is changed. Therefore the
connections
to be made for troubleshooting also
change.
Shift Alteration when TECH 1 Tool is connected
toTCM:
SHIFTS WILL BE HARSH WHEN TECH 1 IS
CONNECTED.
Connection of TECH 1 automatically forces maximum
line pressure during shifts only.
Normal line pressure checks at idle and stall spe
can be carried out.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (4L30-E) 7 A-145
TCM PRECAUTONS
The TCM can be damaged by:
(1) The Electrostatic discharge
(2) The short circuit of some terminals to voltage
or to ground.
Electrostatic Discharge Damage Description:
(1) Electronic components used to control systems
are often designed
to carry very low voltage,
and are
very susceptible to damage caused by
electrostatic discharge. It is possible for less
than 100 volts of static electricity to cause
damage
to some electronic components. By
comparison,
it takes as much as 4000 volts for
a person to even feel the zap of a static
discharge.
(2) There are several
ways for a person to become
statically charged. The most common methods
of charging are by friction and induction. An
example
of charging by friction is a person
sliding across a car seat, in
which a charge of
as much as 25,000 volts can build up.
Charging
by induction occurs when a person
with well insulated shoes stands near a highly
charged object and momentarily touches
ground. Charges for the same polarity are
drained off, leaving the person
highly charged
with the opposite polarity. Static charges of
either type can cause damage, therefore, it is
important to use care when handling and
testing electronic components.
NOTICE: To prevent possible Electrostatic
Discharge damage:
(1) Do not touch the TCM connector pins or
soldered components on the TCM circuit
board.
(2) When handling a Mem-Cal (PROM), do not
touch the component leads, and do not
remove integrated circuit from carrier.
(3) Be sure to follow the guidelines listed below if
servicing any of these electronic components:
(4) Do not open the replacement part package
until
it is time to install the part.
(5)
Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part.
(6) Before removing the part from its package,
ground the package to a known good ground
on the vehicle.
(7) Always touch a known good ground before
handling the part. This step should be repeated
before installing
the part if the part has been
handled
while sliding across the seat, while
sitting down from a standing position or while
walking some distance.
INFORMATION ON TCM:
(1) The Transmission Control Module (TCM) is
located in the
driver compartment and is the
control center
of the electronic transmission
control system.
(2) The TCM must be maintained at a temperature
below 185°F (85°C) at all times. This is most
essential if the vehicle is put through a paint
baking process. The
TCM will become in­
operative
if its temperature exceeds 85°C
(185°F). Therefore, it is recommended that the
TCM be removed or that temporary insulation
be placed around the
TCM during the time the
vehicle is in a paint oven
or other high
temperature process.
(3) The
TCM is designed to process the various
inputs and then respond by sending the
appropriate electrical signals
to control trans­
mission upshift,
downshift, shift feel and
torque converter clutch engagement.
(4) The TCM constantly interprets information
from the various sensors, and controls the
systems
that affect transmission and vehicle
performance. By analyzing operational prob­
lems, the
TCM is able to perform a diagnostic
function
by displaying DTC(s) and aid the
technician in making repairs.
PROM/MEM-CAL:
(1) Information for a specific engine and vehicle is
programmed using an integrated circuit called
a Programmable Read-Only
Memory (PROM).
It
is also called a MEM-CAL (Memory Cali­
brator). This allows one model of controller to
be used for many different vehicles. The
PROM is located inside the TCM and has
information on the engine, transmission,
calibration., etc. While one
TCM part number
can be used by many vehicle lines, a PROM is
more specific and must be used only with the
right vehicles. For this reason, it is very
important to check the latest parts book and
Service Bulletin
information for the correct part
number when replacing a PROM.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
CHECKING TRANSMISSION FLUID
LEVEL
1. Park the vehicle on level ground.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Place the automatic transmission in "Park" and
start the engine.
Allow the engine to idle for
two minutes.
4. With the brakes applied, move the shifter lever
through all the gear ranges, ending in "Park".
5. Remove the dipstick, Carefully touch the
dipstick with your finger to determine the
temperature of the fluid. (Fig. 7A-14)
• If the fluid is cool or warm (approximately
room temperature) or slightly higher (but
not too hot to touch), the fluid level should
be within the "Cold" range.
• If the fluid is hot, the fluid level should be
(A; within the "Hot" range.
6.
Cold Hot
Fig. 7A-14
• If the vehicle has just been driven for a long
period of time at highway speeds or in city
traffic in hot weather, wait 30 minutes for
the fluid to cool down before checking fluid
level.
If fluid level is low, add enough DEXRON®-m
Automatic transmission fluid to bring trans­
mission
to its proper fluid level through the
transmission oil filler tube.
NOTE:
The automatic transmission fluid level must be
checked
with the vehicle at normal AfT oil
operating temperature: 75 TO 85°C (167 TO
185°F)
measured with TECH1 scan tool.
Overfilling or underfilling could result in
damage
to the transmission.
• If fluid level is low, inspect the area around
the oil pan for leakage.
•
If the fluid smells burnt or is black, replace
it.
CHANGING TRANSMISSION FLUID
There is no need to change the transmission fluid
unless the transmission is used under one or more
of the following heavy duty conditions.
A: Repeated
short trips
B: Driving on rough roads
C: Driving on dusty roads
D: Towing a trailer
If the vehicle is used under these conditions,
change the fluid every 20,000 miles (32,000 km.)
There is
no drain plug in the oil pan. Oil should be
extracted
with suitable suction device through the
filler tube. Alternately the fluid can be drained by
carefully removing the oil pan. Place a large drain
pan
under the oil pan, remove 13 bolts on the right,
left and front sides of the oil pan and loosen 3 bolts
on the rear side.
Drain
the fluid carefully.
Hold
the pan horizontally, remove the remaining 3
bolts and remove pan and gasket. Clean the oil pan
and
reinstall it . with a new gasket. It is also
recommended to replace the fixing bolts. Tighten
16 fixing bolts to 11 N·m (8 lb·ft.) torque.
