Vehicle Performance

The 42LE transaxle offers the advantage of providing precise control over all transaxle functions. Shifting functions are based on continuous real-time sensor feedback information. Adaptive controls allow the system to automatically adapt to changes in engine performance and friction element variations that occur over time. In this manner, the shift quality remains the same throughout the life of the unit.

Another advantage of the system is that it features On-Board Diagnostics which can help the technician find a problem in a malfunctioning transaxle. The Transmission Control Module (TCM) continuously monitors all transaxle functions during normal operation. It records malfunctions in the form of Diagnostic Trouble codes (DTCs) and the number of engine starts since the last code stored in memory.
