7A1–52 TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (4L30–E)

DTC P0723/Flashing Code 79 Transmission Output Speed Sensor (OSS)
Intermittent  (Cont’d)

Step

No

Yes

Action

15

Repair the short to B+ in circuit YEL.

Is the repair complete?

Go to Step 17

16

Replace the PCM. Refer to Powertrain Control Module (PCM) in
Automatic Transmission (4L30–E) section.

Is the replacement complete?

Go to Step 17

17

1. After the repair is complete, use the scan tool to select “DTC”,

then “Clear Info” function and operate the vehicle under the
following conditions:
Transmission output speed is greater than 101 rpm for 3
seconds.

2. Review the scan tool “DTC Info”.

Has the last test failed or is the current DTC displayed?

TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (4L30–E)

7A1–53

DTC P0730/Flashing Code 81 Transmission Incorrect Gear Ratio

D07RT015

Circuit Description

D

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) calculates the
slippage of the converter and transmission based
upon the engine speed, the output speed, and the
current gear ratio.

D

The slippage of the converter at a high enough engine
speed is low.  The transmission should not slip more
than a given value when there is no shift.

D

This DTC detects a slip at each gear.  This is a type
“C” DTC.

Conditions For Setting The DTC

D

No Output Speed Sensor DTC(s) P0722, P0723.

D

Not in Park, Neutral or Reverse.

D

Engine speed is greater than 3500 rpm.

D

3 seconds since upshift.

D

3 seconds since downshift.

D

3 seconds since garage shift (N

D).

D

And one of the following conditions occur:

–  Slip is greater than 753 rpm in 1st gear.

–  Slip is greater than 713 rpm in 2nd gear.

–  Slip is greater than 694 rpm on 3rd gear.

–  Slip is greater than 685 rpm on 4th gear.

D

All conditions met for 5.5 seconds.

Action Taken When The DTC Sets

D

Maximum line pressure.

D

The PCM will illuminate the CHECK TRANS Lamp.

7A1–54 TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (4L30–E)

Conditions For Clearing The DTC/CHECK
TRANS Lamp

D

The PCM will turn “off” the CHECK TRANS Lamp
after three consecutive ignition cycles without a
failure reported.

D

The DTC can be cleared from PCM memory by using
a scan tool.  The DTC can also be cleared from
memory when the vehicle has made 40 warmup
cycles without a failure reported.

D

The PCM will cancel the DTC Actions Taken items
when the fault conditions no longer exist and the
ignition is cycles “off” long enough to power down the
PCM.

Diagnostic Aids

D

Check for intermittent output speed sensor circuit
problems.

D

Check for possible incorrect calibration. (PCM part
No., tire specifications, and rear axle ratio)

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic chart:
2. This step checks for possible low fluid level causing

slipping resulting in an undefined gear ratio.

3. This step checks for correct gear ratios for

commanded gears.

4. This step checks for low line pressure.

Step

Action

Yes

No

1

Visually inspect the transmission cooling system for fluid leaks.

D

Refer to Chart 16: Possible Causes of Transmission Fluid
Leaks of Mechanical/Hydraulic Diagnosis Symptoms Index in
Automatic Transmission (4L30–E) section.

Was condition found and corrected?

Go to Step 6

Go to Step 2

2

Refer to Checking Transmission Fluid Level and Condition in
Automatic Transmission (4L30–E) section.

Has transmission fluid checking procedure been performed?

1. Install the scan tool.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the “on” position.
3. Engine not running.

NOTE: Before clearing DTC(s) use the scan tool to record the
“Failure Records” for reference, as data will be lost when the “Clear
Info” function is used.

4. Record the Failure Record data.
5. Use the scan tool snapshot mode to record transmission gear

ratios.

6. Drive vehicle in transmission gear ranges 1, 2, 3, and D with

the engine speed is greater than 3,500 rpm for 5.5 seconds.

7. Record each transmission gear.

1st:2.73 – 2.99
2nd:1.54 – 1.71
3rd:0.93 – 1.05
4th:0.66 – 0.78

Does commanded gear ratio match ranges as shown?

Refer to

Diagnostic Aids

Go to Step 4

4

Perform line pressure check.

D

Refer to Line Pressure Test in Automatic Transmission
(4L30–E) section.

Was condition found and corrected?

Go to Step 6

Go to Step 5

5

Check for possible clutch slippage.

D

Refer to Chart 6: Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0730 of
Mechanical/Hydraulic Diagnosis Symptoms Index in
Automatic Transmission (4L30–E) section.

Was condition found and corrected?

Go to Step 6

1. After the repair is complete, use the scan tool to select “DTC”,

then “Clear info” function.

2. Operate the vehicle under the following conditions:

D

Drive the vehicle in D4 with the engine speed greater than
3,500 rpm to obtain any one of the following gear ratios for
seven seconds.

1st 1:2.73 – 1:2.99

2nd 1:1.54 – 1:1.71

3rd 1:0.93 – 1:1.05

4th 1:0.66 – 1:0.78

Has the last test failed?
