SECTION:
4T60-E
This bulletin covers vehicles equipped with HYDRA-MATIC 4T60-E transaxles which may exhibit erratic or no speedometer reading and erratic
transaxle operation accompanied by code 24. These conditions could be caused by an inoperative transaxle speed sensor. When the powertrain control
module (PCM) detects an inoperative speed sensor, the PCM will force the transaxle into fail-safe 3rd gear. Fail-safe 3rd gear operation may cause
customer comments that the vehicle is sluggish or slips. Oldsmobile models will have detent 2nd gear under heavy throttle positions. Also, an
intermittent speed sensor condition may result in normal operation when cold, and when the vehicle is brought up to operating temperature, erratic
operation of the speedometer and transaxle.
SERVICE PROCEDURE:
Replace the transaxle speed sensor with the part listed under "SERVICE PARTS INFORMATION".
