WINTER DRIVE MODE
(1) Operation
The winter switch will operate when switched on after the all of following conditions are present.
Conditions:
a) The gear select position is "D" range only
b) Vehicle speed is 7mph (11 km/h) or less
c) Transmission oil temperature is 120°C (248°F) or less
d) Kick-down switch is off
e) Accelerator opening is at 8% or less.
(2) Cancel release
CD Cancellation by driver
a) Turning off the winter drive mode switch
b) Shifting select position to "3", "2", or "L"
(Winter drive mode is not canceled by selecting "D", "N", "R", or "P")
c) Ignition key is turned off
® Automatic cancellation
a) When vehicle runs at 21mph (34 km/h) or more for 1 second or more
b) When transmission oil temperature reaches 140°C (284°F) or above
Note: The mode returns
to normal drive mode automatically after the winter drive mode is canceled.
BACKUP MODE
If a major system failure occurs which could affect safety or damage the transmission under normal
vehicle operation, the diagnostic system detects the fault and overrides the TCM.
The "CHECK TRANS" light flashes to alert the driver, and the transmission must be manually shifted
as follows:

Shifts are firmer to prevent clutch slip and consequent wear. The fault should be corrected as soon as
possible.

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.

DIAGNOSIS
. .,._., INTRODUCTION
The systematic trouble shooting information covered by this Section offers a practical and systematic
approach
to diagnosing 4L30-E transmission, using information that can be obtained from road tests,
electrical diagnosis, oil pressure checks or noise evaluation.
The key to correcting a complaint is to make use of all of the available symptoms and logically letting them
direct you
to the cause.
When
dealing with automatic transmission complaints, it is best to gather as many symptoms as possible
before making the decision to remove the transmission from the vehicle.
Frequently,
the correction of the cause of the complaint does not require removal of the transmission from
the vehicle.
