Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

• Torque converter clutch (TCC) does not apply
  • Access the PCM/ TCM and monitor parameter identifications (PIDs) TCC, TC_SLIPDSD and TC_SLIPACT. Road test the vehicle, making sure TCC lockup is attempted. If the parameter identifications (PIDs) indicate the TCC is slipping when lockup is commanded, check the TCC for a does not apply condition. REFER to: Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) (307-01A Automatic Transmission - 10-Speed Automatic Transmission – 10R60, Diagnosis and Testing).
    
• Torque converter clutch (TCC) always applied
  • Access the PCM/ TCM and monitor parameter identifications (PIDs) TCC, TC_SLIPDSD and TC_SLIPACT. Start the engine and select Drive. If the parameter identifications (PIDs) indicate the TCC does not slip and the engine lugs or stalls when Drive is selected, check the TCC for an always applied condition. REFER to: Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) (307-01A Automatic Transmission - 10-Speed Automatic Transmission – 10R60, Diagnosis and Testing).

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

• Whine noise
  • Some vehicles equipped with a 10R60 transmission may exhibit a whine noise. This may occur at idle and while driving coming from the bell housing and front pan area of the transmission. The whine noise may become louder when at operating temperature and increases with higher engine RPM in the Park position. A small amount of whine noise is considered to be characteristic of the 10R60 transmission due to the offset gear drivetrain in the front support and has no effect on durability.
• 2WD - Clunk noise when shifting from Reverse to Drive or Drive to Reverse
  • 2WD drive vehicles are equipped with an anti-ting washer between the transmission output shaft and the transmission output shaft flange. When the load on the driveshaft changes, like when shifting from Reverse to Drive, the anti-ting washer will absorb normal movement between the 2 components. If the component interface is dry, corroded, or otherwise sticky, then a slip/stick condition can result. A slip/stick condition produces more than normal forces on the anti-ting washer and may result in an objectionable clunk noise. A light coating of high temperature grease applied to both sides of the anti-ting washer and the entire transmission output shaft spline area will reduce the clunk noise down to a normal acceptable level.
  • To remove the transmission output shaft flange and grease the output shaft and anti-ting washer, REFER to: Output Shaft Seal (307-01A Automatic Transmission - 10-Speed Automatic Transmission – 10R60, Removal and Installation).
    
• Noise
  • Check the engine drive accessories, suspension, CV joints, transmission and transmission cooler tubes. REFER to: Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) (100-04 Noise, Vibration and Harshness, Diagnosis and Testing).
    
• Vibration
  • Check the engine drive accessories, suspension, CV joints, transmission and transmission cooler tubes. REFER to: Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) (100-04 Noise, Vibration and Harshness, Diagnosis and Testing).

• Driveline components
• Transmission components

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

• Positive drag or rocking sensation at start up while in Park
  • The 10R60 applies three clutches in Park in anticipation of Reverse or Drive engagement. Each clutch application creates a small positive drag to the driveline and could cause a slight rocking sensation of the vehicle at or just after engine start in park. This is a normal and desired behavior of the 10R60 transmission.
• Assembly gel present in transmission cooler case ports and/or main control assembly on new or low mileage transmissions
  • A clear gel-like grease is injected into the transmission case cooler ports before the transmission is shipped from the assembly plant. If enough grease is injected, it may be pushed back into the main control. The grease acts as a plug to prevent leaks during transmission installation into the vehicle. Grease found in the cooler ports and/or main control in new transmission assemblies is normal and has no affect on performance. As the transmission gets up to operating temperature, the grease will melt and dissolve into the transmission fluid.
• Selector lever high effort
  • See selector lever binding or difficult to move - requires excessive effort condition. REFER to: External Controls (307-05A Automatic Transmission External Controls - 10-Speed Automatic Transmission – 10R60, Diagnosis and Testing).
    
• No start - transmission range indicates Reverse when the selector lever is in Park
  • See selector lever linkage is out of correct gear relationship condition. REFER to: External Controls (307-05A Automatic Transmission External Controls - 10-Speed Automatic Transmission – 10R60, Diagnosis and Testing).
