AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (4L30-E) 7A-13
NORMAL OPERATION OF 1994-95 4L30-E TRANSMISSION
1. TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC)
APPLICATION CONDITIONS:
Engine coolant temperature must be above 70°C
(158°F).
Moreover, TCC is ON in 2nd gear during kick down
operation when engine coolant temperature is
above
70°C (158°F).
Also,
TCC is always ON in 2nd, 3rd & 4th gear when
transmission oil temperature is above 140°C
(284°F).
2. ATF WARNING LAMP
The ATF warning lamp will be constantly on (not
flashing) if the transmission oil temperature is
above
145°C (293°F).
The ATF warning lamp goes off again when the
transmission
oil temperature is below 125°C
(257°F).
3. SPECIAL SHIFT PATTERN WHEN THE
ENGINE IS COLD:
A special shift pattern is activated when the engine
coolant temperature is below 70°C (158°F). (3-4
shifts
for example are delayed for small throttle
openings and will occur a few MPH higher)
4. SHIFT ALTERATION WITH TECH1
DIAGNOSTIC TOOL CONNECTED:
Shifts will be harsh when TECH1 is connected to
TCM: Connection of TECH1 automatically forces
maximum line pressure during shifts only.

7 A-20 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (4L30-E)
CHECKING TRANSMISSION FLUID
LEVEL AND CONDITION
Checking fluid level and condition (color and odor)
at
regular intervals will provide early diagnosis
information about the transmission. This inform­
ation may be used to correct a condition that, if not
detected early, could result in major transmission
repairs.
IMPORTANT: When new, automatic transmission
fluid is red in color. As the vehicle is driven, the
transmission
fluid will begin to look darker in color.
The
color may eventually appear light brown.
A DARK
brown color with burnt odor may indicate
excessive
fluid deterioration and signal a need for
fluid change.
FLUID LEVEL
When adding
or changing fluid, use only DEXRON
®-Ill.
Refer to the Maintenance and Lubrication (Section 0
of this manual) for maintenance information and
servicing
interval.
\f CAUTION: DO NOT OVERFILL
Overfilling will cause foaming, loss ~f fluid,
abnormal shifting and possible damage to
the transmission.
1. Start engine and drive vehicle until normal AfT
oil operating temperature is reached:
NOTE: The automatic transmission fluid level
must be checked with the vehicle at normal
A/T oil operating temperature: 75 TO 85°C
(167 TO 185°F) MEASURED WITH TECH1 SCAN
TOOL.
Temperature will greatly affect transmission
fluid level.
If the vehicle is not at normal AfT oil operating
temperature and the proper checking
procedures are
not followed, the result could
be a false reading of the fluid level indicator
and
an incorrect adjustment of the fluid level.
2. Park vehicle on level ground.
3. Move gear selector to "Park".
4. Apply parking brake and block wheels.
5. Allow vehicle to idle for 3 minutes with all
accessories turned off.
6. Check fluid level with engine running at idle:
Fluid should
be in "HOT" area on AfT dipstick
(Fig. 7A-6).
Check also color and condition (Refer to next
page.)

Cold ---IIU 0

Fig. 7A-6
\f CAUTION:
DO NOT CHECK FLUID LEVEL UNDER THESE
CONDITIONS: •
At high ambient temperature above 30°C
(86°F).
Immediately after driving at sustained highway
speeds.
• In heavy city traffic during hot weather.
If vehicle is towing a trailer.
If the vehicle has been operated under these
conditions,
shut the engine off and allow the
vehicle to "cool" for thirty (30) minutes. After the
cool-down period, restart the vehicle and continue
from step 2 above.

7 A-22 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (4l30-E)
TEST DRIVING
Some 4L30-E automatic transmission complaints
vehicles will require a test drive as a part of the
diagnostic procedure.
Some codes will not set
unless the vehicle is moving. The purpose of the
test
drive is to duplicate the customer's complaint
condition and set a current Transmission Control
Module (TCM) trouble code. Perform this
procedure before each 4L30-E automatic trans­
mission repair, and again after repairs are made.
IMPORTANT:
• Duplicate the condition under which the
customer's complaint was observed.
• Depending on the complaint, line pressure
gauge and the
TECH1 scan tool may be
required
during the test drive.
• During the test drive, it is important to record
all necessary data from the areas being
monitored, for use in diagnosis. Also listen for
and note any unusual noises.
The
following procedure should be used to test
drive 4L30-E automatic
transmission complaint
vehicles:
1. Turn the ignition ON without starting the
engine. Check
that the "CHECK TRANS" lamp
comes on for approximately 2 to 3 seconds
and then goes
out and remains out.
• If the lamp is flashing, GOTO CHECK
TRANS INDICATOR (on page 7A-46).
• If no serial data is present, see Chart 1:
DIAGNOSTIC CONNECTOR AND VOLTAGE
SUPPLY TEST (on page 7A-69 and 7A-70).
• If the lamp stays ON or stays OFF, GOTO
"CHECK TRANS"
CHECK (on page 7A-48).
NOTE:
Remember that, when TECH1 is connected,
line pressure will be at maximum during shifts.
2. Drive the vehicle. During the test drive be sure
that the transmission achieves normal
operating temperature (approx. 20 minutes) ..
Allow the transmission to go through all of 1ts
gear ranges, checking shift timing and
firmness.
Duplicate the owner's complaint
condition as closely as possible during the test
drive.
3. If, during the test drive, the "CHECK TRANS"
lamp comes on, use the TECH1 to check for
trouble codes.
4. If, during the test drive, a problem is felt, but
the "CHECK TRANS" lamp does not come on
and
no trouble codes are present, drive the
vehicle with the TCM disconnected (manually
shifting the vehicle).
•
In Manual L, the vehicle operates in first
gear.
• In Manual 2, the vehicle operates in third
gear.
• In Manual 3 or "D", the vehicle operates in
fourth gear.
If the problem still exists with the TCM
disconnected, refer
to the MECHANICAL/
HYDRAULIC DIAGNOSIS
in this Section.
5. If no problem has been found at this point,
check
all underhood connections that supply
power to the TCM and ignition fuses.
Physically and visually inspect all the TCM
harness connectors
for loose or corroded
terminals. Inspect the TCM ground points.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (4L30-E) 7 A-23
I PERFORM PRELIMINARY INSPECTION FIRST!
When the "CHECK TRANS" indicator is flashing, it
indicates that a problem related to the trans­
mission, the Transmission Control
Module (TCM),
or the vehicle harness has occurred:
The system is
now operating in a "BACKUP MODE"
where the risk of further damaging the transmission
has been reduced. The vehicle may be shifted
manually.
If the initial problem is intermittent or seldom,
switching OFF/ON the engine might allow normal
operation again until the problem re-occurs.
