For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8WThe transmission system uses two speed sensors, one to measure input rpm and one to measure output rpm. These inputs are essential for proper transmission operation. Therefore, the integrity of this data is verified through the following checks: 1) Once in a particular gear, if the gear ratio varies from the correct gear ratio, the corresponding in-gear trouble code is set (DTCs P0731-36 and P1736). 2) An excessive change in input or output speeds indicating signal intermittent which will result in the DTCs P0716 and/or P0721 being set. 3) If the common speed sensor ground circuit is lost, both sensor inputs will read the pulses from the input speed sensor when at a stop in neutral. Since the input speed sensor reads 60 teeth from the input clutch hub and the output speed sensor reads 30 teeth from the park gear, the result is an apparent speed ratio of 1:2 and may cause the DTC P1794 to set. When Monitored:Continuously with the ignition on, engine running, with the transmission in gear.Set Condition:If the ratio of the Input rpm to the Output rpm does not match the current gear ratio. This DTC can take up to five minutes of problem identification before illuminating the MILPossible CausesCUT UD PISTON SEALLOW FLUID LEVELCRACKED OR MIS-INSTALLED PRIMARY OIL FILTER OR SEALSTUCK OR STICKING MAIN REGULATOR VALVEFAILED OVERRUNNING CLUTCHCUT UD ACCUMULATOR SEAL RINGBROKEN UD ACCUMULATOR PISTONBROKEN REACTION SHAFT SUPPORT SEAL RINGLOW LINE PRESSUREBROKEN / MISSING MAIN VALVE BODY BLEED ORIFICEBROKEN / MISSING DRIBBLER ORIFICE ASSEMBLY IN REACTION SHAFT SUPPORTPOOR MACHINING ON PUMP VALVE BODY FACEINPUT SPEED SENSOR AND RELATED WIRINGTRANSMISSION SOLENOID/TRS ASSEMBLYPOWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULEAlways perform the 45RFE/545RFE Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE) 1. CHECK FOR RELATED DTCSWith the scan tool, check for other transmission DTCs.If any of these DTCs are present, perform their respective tests first.Are there any Transmission solenoid, line pressure, speed sensor, and/or loss of prime DTCs present?YesRefer to the Transmission category and perform the appropriate symptom. If any of these DTCs are present, they may cause a Speed Ratio Error. Perform the test for P0944 first if it is present.NoGo To 22. CHECK IF DTC P0731 IS CURRENTWith the scan tool, perform the 1st Gear Clutch Test. Follow the instructions on the scan tool.Increase the throttle angle or TPS Degree to 30° for no more than a few seconds.Do not overheat the transmission.Did the Clutch Test pass, Input Speed remain at zero?YesGo To 3NoGo To 43. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT OPERATIONThe conditions to set this DTC are not currently present.With the scan tool, check the DTC EVENT DATA to help identify the conditions in which the DTC was set.If the DTC Event Data shows fault P0731 was set in Park, Reverse, or Neutral, replace the Powertrain Control Module.If the DTC Event Data shows fault P0731 set with input rpm = zero, check the input speed sensor and related wiring.If the DTC Event Data shows fault P0731 set with line pressure significantly below desired line pressure, check for the cause of low line pressure (i.e., oil level, mis-installed or damaged primary filter or filter seal, sticking main regulator valve in pump, etc.).If the DTC Event Data shows fault P0731 set with the UD pressure switch open (but line pressure matches Desired Line Pressure), air check the UD hydraulic clutch circuit for leakage per the Service Information. If the UD hydraulic clutch circuit is OK, replace the solenoid/TRS assembly.Check the gearshift linkage adjustment.Intermittent Gear Ratio DTCs can be set by problems in the Input and Output Speed Sensor circuits and/or Speed Sensor Ground circuit.Remove the Starter Relay.Removal of the Starter Relay will prevent the vehicle from being started in gear. The Starter Relay must be removed from the PDC. Failure to do so can result in personal injury or death.Failure to remove the Starter Relay can cause a Transmission - No Response condition.Install the Transmission Simulator, Miller tool #8333.Wiggle wiring and connectors while checking for intermittent operation with the Transmission Simulator.Gear ratio DTC's can also be set under extreme temperature conditions.Verify if the problem is only experienced under extreme hot or cold conditions.Were there any problems found.YesRepair as necessary.Perform 45RFE/545RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE) NoTest Complete.4. CHECK INTERNAL TRANSMISSIONRepair internal transmission as necessary. Refer to the Service Information.If there were any line pressure DTC's present along with this DTC, make sure to inspect the: Primary oil filter and seal, Transmission Oil Pump, and the Main regulator valve per the Service Information.If DTC's P0876 and/or P0875 were present in addition to the P0731, replace the Transmission Solenoid/TRS Assembly in addition to necessary internal repairs. Pay particular attention to the following list of possible causes when repairing the transmission:Cut UD piston sealFailed overrunning clutchCut UD accumulator seal ringBroken UD accumulator pistonLow line pressureBroken/missing main valve body bleed orificeBroken/missing dribbler orifice assembly in reaction shaft supportPoor machining on pump valve body faceTransmission Solenoid/TRS AssemblyView repairRepairRepair internal transmission per the Service Information.Perform 45RFE/545RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST.
