Condition Some customers may comment on one or more of the following before or after the transmission has been overhauled: • Harsh shifting • Shudder • Surging • Stalling • Neutral/Flare • Transmission overheating Some customers may also comment on above normal transmission fluid temperature. Cause This condition may be caused by a twisted cooler line on low mileage vehicles. Note: A twisted cooler line may cause DTC P27EC to set in the TCM on ETRS transmissions. (RPO MHS MQC). 5758376 Inspect for a twisted cooler line, example shown in the graphic above. In some cases, it may be necessary to remove the under body panels in order to clearly see the cooler lines. • If the cooler line is twisted, disconnect the cooler line from the transmission auxiliary cooler and untwist it, then reconnect the cooler line. • If the cooler line remains misshaped after untwisting, the cooler line should be replaced then check the transmission fluid level following SI. Add fluid if needed. • If no concerns are found with the rubber line being misshaped, check the transmission fluid level following SI. Add fluid if needed. The Thermal Bypass Valve (TBV) may be the cause of the overheat if a cooler line is not twisted or misshaped. The TBV will open at the following temperatures for the models listed in this TSB. 6 Speed (6L80, 6L90) - 158F (70C) - TBV is external to the transmission 8 Speed (8L90) - 194F (90C) – TBV is external to the transmission 10 Speed (10L80, 10L90, 10L1000) – 143F (61C) – TBV is within the valve body on all listed applications expect those equipped with 3.0 (LM2) Diesel. On the LM2 Diesel the TBV is external to the transmission.
