System Operation

Component Description

When the driver needs to change gear position the driver selects P R N or D by pressing buttons on a GSM . The GSM senses the pressed button and sends a request over the Subnet Network, and the High Speed Controller Area Network 2 (HS2-CAN) through the GWM over the High Speed Controller Area Network 1 (HS1-CAN) to the PCM . The PCM receives the input from the GSM , combines in vehicle conditions and moves the transmission to the commanded position. The PCM reads the transmission range sensor (TRS) and confirms the correct position has been achieved.

There is a redundant Transmission Controller Area Network (TRANS-CAN) that allows the GSM to communicate directly with the PCM in the event of a malfunction in the HS1-CAN, the HS2-CAN or the GWM .

GSM

Each GSM button has three individual switch contacts that are used as input that the button has been pressed. If one switch contact is seen as nonfunctional the system will still work properly. However, if two switch contacts fail the button is no longer deemed reliable and a fault message is displayed. When park is selected above 5 mph neutral is provided along with a message in the IPC . The Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) CAN signal is used for normal function to shift from P .

PCM

The PCM actuates the transmission in place of a conventional selector lever and selector lever cable. It receives commands from the GSM via High Speed CAN .

IPC

The IPC receives signals from the PCM and displays the current range of the transmission on the PRND. Under some circumstances messages from the shift by wire system are also displayed for the customer on the multifunction display. For example, "Press Brake to shift from Park" is displayed when an attempt to shift to a non-park rotary dial position while the vehicle is in P and the brake is not pressed.

BCM

The BCM provides Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) information, GSM LED intensity status, electronic door lock commands, and ignition status to the GSM and PCM . The BCM is also responsible for customizing BTSI and other signals based on local regulations and vehicle features.

Push Button Shift Modes

Automatic Return to Park

NOTE: This feature does not operate when your vehicle is in Stay In Neutral Mode or neutral tow.

NOTE: This feature may not work properly if the door ajar switch is malfunctioning.

The vehicle has a safety feature that will automatically shift the transmission into P when one of the following conditions are met at low speed:

  • The ignition is turned off and vehicle falls below low speed threshold
  • The driver door is opened with the seat belt unlatched
  • The driver seat belt is unlatched while the driver door is open

If the vehicle is turned off while moving, the transmission will first shift into N until it comes to a complete stop and then will shift into P automatically.

SelectShift™ Mode

To enter SelectShift™ mode, first select D on the GSM . The SelectShift™ mode is activated by pressing the upshift and downshift paddle switches on the steering wheel.

Stay in Neutral Mode

If necessary for the vehicle to stay in N without the driver present, such as being pulled through a car wash, this mode disables Return to Park. In Stay in Neutral the system will remain awake draining the battery if the engine is off. When you enter neutral at low speed a message will be displayed stating press the N button again to stay in neutral mode. Then, if the driver presses the N button within the time limit, the message Stay in Neutral Mode appears on the multifunction display. During this mode the N position on the GSM flashes continuously and the instrument cluster will display N as the selected gear. To exit the Stay in Neutral Mode, shift out of neutral.

Neutral Tow Mode


Refer to: Emergency Park Position Release (307-05 Automatic Transmission External Controls, General Procedures).
for information on moving the transmission into N with the engine off or with a vehicle that will not crank.

Adaptive Tow/Haul

On vehicles equipped with Adaptive Tow/Haul, the PCM determines if Tow/Haul is needed through a vehicle mass calculation. The vehicle mass calculation relies heavily on longitudinal acceleration information from the ABS module to determine if a trailer is connected and if that trailer is heavy enough to require the Tow/Haul function.

In order for the PCM to accurately calculate vehicle mass, the vehicle must be driven in a straight line (0 Yaw Rate), moving forward and with adequate acceleration. Once these conditions are met, the PCM begins calculating vehicle mass, which takes a minimum of five minutes to complete. This calculation becomes faster and more accurate over time as the PCM is able to use historical data to learn the vehicle mass and calculate changes to the mass more quickly.

If the PCM calculates a large enough increase in vehicle mass, Tow/Haul is enabled and the Tow/Haul indicator is illuminated. Since the vehicle must be driven in order for this calculation to take place, the Tow/Haul indicator will not be illuminated as soon as a trailer is connected, and not all trailers are heavy enough to require the Tow/Haul function.

Park by Wire

Item Description
1 Park Lock Pawl Valve
2 Park Lock Pawl Solenoid
3 TR Sensor
4 Park Return Spring
5 Park Pawl Actuator rod
6 Park Pawl
7 Output Shaft and Planetary Carrier

Park by Wire

  • Uses a GSM with push buttons in place of a mechanical shifter as the customer interface for selecting (P, R, N, D, M).
  • The transmission hydraulic controls are modified using a park lock pawl valve connected to the park rod which unlocks and locks the parking pawl from the carrier.
    • Uses clutch B and D hydraulic pressure to push the system out of Park.
    • Once out of Park, clutches A, B, C, D or F can continue to hold the system out of Park.
  • A park lock pawl solenoid is used to allow the system to remain out of Park when the engine is not running.
  • The dual TR sensors indicate the state of the Park system and are not used to determine customer selected range, which is now provided by the GSM .
  • A mechanical P override has been provided for in-plant use and towing. This consists of a lever on the side of the transmission that can be bolted into one of 2 positions, normal operating position or park override position. In the override position the park lock pawl valve is held in the applied position to keep the parking pawl unlocked from the carrier.

Park Override Lever

1 Park override lever in the normal operating position
2 Park override lever in the park override position

    Wheel to Hub Runout Minimization. General Procedures

    Check

    NOTE: Wheel-to-hub optimization is important. Clearance between the wheel and hub can be used to offset or neutralize the Road Force® or run-out of the wheel and tire assembly. For every 0.001 inch of wheel-to-hub clearance, the Road Force® can be affected between 1 and 3 pounds depending on the tire stiffness.

    NOTE: The example below illustrates how the clearance between the wheel and the hub can be used to offset the high spot of radial run-out or Road Force®. Following the procedure will make sure of the best optimization.

    Position the wheel and tire assembly on the vehicle so that the high spot location of radial run-out or Road Force® is at the 6 o'clock position and
