P2700-Inadequate Element Volume LR: Notes

For a complete wiring diagram  , refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article.

Theory of Operation 

The volumes of the transmission fluid needed to apply the friction elements are continuously monitored and learned for adaptive controls. As the clutch friction material wears, the volume of fluid needed to apply the clutch increases. Certain transmission mechanical problems can cause near-zero learned volumes resulting in setting a DTC. The DTC will usually set with other DTC's, which indicates an internal transmission problem. 

• When Monitored: 

  Whenever the engine is running. The LR clutch volume index (CVI) is updated during a 3-1 or 2-1 manual downshift with throttle angle below 5 degrees. Transmission temperature must be at least 43° C (110° F). 

• Set Condition: 

  When the LR clutch volume index (CVI) falls below 16. 

Always perform the 45RFE/545RFE PRE-DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE before proceeding.
