Causes for operation in the wrong tempera-
ture shift schedule: Extreme Cold or Cold shift
schedule at start up:
> Temperature Sensor circuit.
> Overheat or Super Overheat shift schedule
after extended operation:
> Operation in city traffic or stop and go traffic
> Engine idle speed too high
> Aggressive driving in low gear
> Trailer towing in OD gear position (use 3

shifting occurs)
> Cooling system failure causing engine to op-
erate over 110°C (230°F)
> Engine coolant temperature stays low too long
- If engine coolant temperature drops below
65°C (150°F), the transmission will disengage
EMCC. Extended operation with the EMCC
disengaged will cause the transmission to
overheat.
> Brake switch issue will cause the EMCC to
disengage. Extended oepration with the
EMCC disengaged will cause the transmis-
sion to overheat.
> Tranmission fluid overfilled
> Transmission cooler or cooler lines restricted
> Transmission Temperature Sensor circuit
3.3 DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
Diagnostic trouble codes (DTC's) are codes stored
by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) that help
us diagnose Transmission problems. They are
viewed using the DRBIII scan tool.

following a specific testing sequence. The diagnostic
test procedures contain step-by-step instructions
for determining the cause of a transmission diag-
nostic trouble code. Possible sources of the code are
checked and eliminated one by one. It is not neces-
sary to perform all of the tests in this book to
diagnose an individual code. These tests are based
on the problem being present at the time that the
test is run.
All testing should be done with a fully charged

communication bus) that the PCM illuminate the
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). Although these
DTC's will be stored in the PCM immediately as a 1
trip failure, it may take up to five minutes of
accumulated trouble confirmation to set the DTC
and illuminate the MIL. Three consecutive success-
ful OBDII (EURO STAGE III OBD) trips or clearing
the DTC's with a diagnostic tool (DRBIII or equiv-
alent) is required to extinguish the MIL. When the
Transmission Control system requests that the
PCM illuminate the MIL, the PCM sets a DTC
P0700 ($89) to alert the technician that there are
DTC's in the Transmission Control System. This
must also be erased in the PCM in order to extin-
guish the MIL.

every time the Transmission Control System checks
