NOTE:
THIS INFORMATION APPLIES TO VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 41TE OR 42LE TRANSAXLE. THE FOLLOWING TABLE LISTS THE
BUILD DATE (BY MODEL) FOR THE TRANSAXLES THAT INCLUDE THE NEW TRS.
DISCUSSION:
A new Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) was designed for 1999 Model Year transaxles.
The original plan was to include these transaxles in 1999 vehicles at the start of production, but was actually implemented as a running change during the
1999 model year.
NOTE:
EARLY MODEL 1999 VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH 1998 STYLE TRANSAXLES. A JUMPER CONVERSION HARNESS WAS USED TO
MATE THE 1999 VEHICLE HARNESS TO THE 1998 TRANSAXLE TRS. FOR JA MODELS, THE MAIN HARNESS CONNECTOR WAS
CHANGED TO DIRECTLY FIT THE 1998 TRS.
This running change can cause confusion due to the differences seen within the 1999 model year or when replacing a transaxle on older vehicles (1998 or
earlier) with a 1999 model transaxle.
