Sundance Duster L4-153 2.5L SOHC VIN K TBI (1993)
Remove the valve body and use a dial caliper to check the distance between the top of the # 1 check ball and the top edge (machined surface) of the
valve body (Figure 1). If the measurement is less than 0.178 mm (.007 in.), replace the valve body with the most current part number for the application.
Item 6 PRNDL Switch (Non TRS)
41TE transaxles with a PRNDL switch (non TRS) may exhibit a condition in freezing temperatures where moisture collects in the switch and freezes.
When this occurs the transaxle may have a delay into reverse and generate DTC 24. This condition is temperature sensitive (intermittent) and as the
transaxle warms the condition will correct itself. The PRNDL switch will require replacement to correct this condition.
Item 7 Output Speed Sensor
While vehicle is in park and engine idling, check the output speed sensor on the DRB III(R). If the TCM indicates an output speed greater than zero
RPM, the speed sensor, TRS, or thermistor may be picking up electrical noise from the wiring harness or there is an intermittent ground problem. It is
important to note that the thermistor uses the same ground circuit as the speed sensor. Follow wiring harness check described in DTC Tests 56, 57 and
58 to help with further diagnosis. Also, see TSB 08-07-94 Rev. B.
Intermittent noise may cause reverse block logic to be activated. Look for output speed during a park to reverse shift. If output speed noise exceeds 400
RPM, reverse block logic will be activated. If the electrical noise is continuous, reverse block logic will exist until the condition is repaired. If the
condition is intermittent, or has been fixed, the output speed reading may be latched above 400 RPM. This will prevent a shift into reverse until the
shifter is cycled to overdrive and back into reverse.
