    Force Motor Current Calibrations

    These tables are what to expect in trans line pressure vs the current applied to the solenoid.

    Far left column is the current in milliamps. Second column is the line pressure

    Good stuff. Don't happen to have the F-body too, do
    you?

    Re: Force Motor Current Calibrations

    This is the Force Motor Current vs Pressure vs Temp table from a stock '98 C5 shown as an example. At Keith's suggestion (Thanks, amigo!) I just added this to my '00 C5's bin file and it corrected the issues I was having (throwing the P0748 - Pressure Control Solenoid Electrical DTC and super-harsh shifts at part-throttle). LS1-Edit corrupted my original table. :

    Re: Force Motor Current Calibrations

    What specific "features of the table" do you think account
    for those problems? Can you edit the old table into this
    post as well so we can look at the differences, highlight
    any you think are especially significant?

    Re: Force Motor Current Calibrations

    Here is my "problem child" table. As you can see, most if not all of the settings have a much lower value (which translates into a correspondingly higher pressure) and the weirdest thing is the last column which is set at zero in the stock table and has a value of 1245 here. :P

    Re: Force Motor Current Calibrations

    Hopefully Ken will jump in here and give a better description of how this table works.

    The first and last columns are "safe" zones. Notice that big numbers are lower pressure.

    So at the rest stage(first column) safe is low pressure... big number 1000
    Same with at the last column, it was explained to me that the transmission does not even use this column, so safe is a big number.... low pressure on the trans

    Most all the V6 tables are like below

    1094 972 894 830 791 757 718 664 596 527 459 400 332 205 98 98 98 1245

    Some however do have 0 in the last column also.

    Re: Force Motor Current Calibrations

    If you go and change your max line pressure field, you
    might find yourself indexing over to this "safe" column
    and have some pretty freaky operation (blow off all
    line pressure under max load... ick).

    I have just copied the second-last column over one.

    Here is my current force motor table which began as
    min(GTO, Fbody) but then got some adjusting to bring
    up the line pressure at lighter cruise-uphill loads (to
    humor my slip-print TCC) and correct what I feel is a
    poor temperature-pressure profile (more slip when hot).

    Re: Force Motor Current Calibrations

    quick question to verify... My Transmission is currently vacuum modulated... so none of these tables should be of interest to me correct?

    this force motor table cured my tcc slip problem + made part-throttle shifts crisper. it gets my reccomendation

    Re: Force Motor Current Calibrations

    Just a note, I have since seen slip come back and have
    moved to an even more aggressive line pressure (force
    motor) profile. Which I will post later if I don't see anything
    blow out... guinea pigs have to volunteer otherwise.

    The force motor table is a second layer to the input shaft
    torque -> line pressure chain and the problem really lies
    in the first layer, inadequate line pressure being commanded
    for the applied output / load.

    Does anyone have a good idea about a proper temperature
    profile to the force motor current, to compensate for the
    fluid viscosity change? The stock table seems to have a
    small current decrease w/ temp but I think that leaves a
    net line pressure decrease (as evidenced by some bad
    slip, hot, with stock table).

    Re: Force Motor Current Calibrations

    Did I understand you guys to say that if I lower the numbers in the lower number columns towards the left, that my stall converter will actually start the truck moving and not slip near as much? Or were you talking about when the TCC is locked and you are getting some slip when you shouldn't be.

    That seems to be a tall order. Surely, i am misunderstanding, right?

    Yes you are misunderstanding. This has nothing to do with the torque converter. It's all in the transmission and the fluid pressures being delivered to the clutches and band.
    Now I do know transmissions a little so I'm 80% sure what I said is correct.
    But as of right now I know nothing of electronically increasing line pressure, thats why I'm here reading.
    I noticed an unanswered question so I thought I'd help.

    If you multiplied all the columns except the far right by 90% would this give a noticeable and more importantly safe increase in shift firmness with a 3000 stall converter?

    Cheers

    Re: Force Motor Current Calibrations

    The force motor table affects modulated line pressure
    -all the time-. Specific to the shift events are the pressure
    and adaptation time tables. If you only have an issue
    with the shift firmness then those two are where to start;
    if you get to 95 and still aren't happy then maybe work
    the force motor table. But in general "enough" is where
    the transmission clutches do not slip under load in gear.
    More than that just makes wear and work for the pump.
    Reducing force motor current will increase firmness but
    it's not very "surgical", more a blunt instrument. Though
    blunt instruments do have their uses.

    Re: Force Motor Current Calibrations

    I was curious if that table was the "constant" or base table the other tables reference.

    That way I could save time by making the main change there and tweaking the other tables as necessary...

    Thoughts?

    Cheers

    Re: Force Motor Current Calibrations

    I notice in my 99/00 Holden tune, i have both a Negative and Positive Options for this table, both tables values seem identicle.

    Looking at later holden tunes, it seems this was done away with and only the positive option remains. Does this mean the later tunes reference this one table for both Negative and Positive current or something inside the trans' changed to accomodate this so only a positive setting was required ?

    Would i apply above examples to both positive AND negative in my current tune ?

    I know that transmission tuning is up to personal taste... but can some post a table or info for a 4l80e that is set up for performance?
    Thanks.

    it it fair to say that these FMC tables are a good starting point for the 4L80e?
