Caution
In order to reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage, carefully observe the following information: The service manuals of General Motors Corporation are intended for use by professional, qualified technicians. Attempting service procedures without the appropriate training, tools, and equipment could cause personal injury, vehicle damage, or improper vehicle operation. Proper vehicle service is important to the safety of the service technician and to the safe, reliable operation of all motor vehicles. If a replacement part is needed, use the same part number or an equivalent part. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality. The service manuals contain effective methods for performing service procedures. Some of the procedures require the use of tools that are designed for specific purposes. Accordingly, any person who intends to use a replacement part, a service procedure, or a tool that is not recommended by General Motors, must first establish that there is no jeopardy to personal safety or the safe operation of the vehicle. The service manuals contain Cautions and Notices that must be observed carefully in order to reduce the risk of personal injury. Improper service may cause vehicle damage or render the vehicle unsafe. The Cautions and Notices are not all-inclusive. General Motors can not possibly warn of all the potentially hazardous consequences that may result by not following the proper service procedures. The service manuals cover service procedures for vehicles that are equipped with Supplemental Inflatable Restraints (SIR). Failure to observe all SIR Cautions and Notices could cause air bag deployment, personal injury, or otherwise unneeded SIR repairs. Refer to the SIR component and wiring location views in Restraints before performing a service on or around SIR components or wiring. If multiple vehicle systems are in need of repair, including SIR, repair the SIR system first to reduce the risk of accidental air bag deployment and personal injury. January 2002

Since the Saab 9-7, is not equipped with Driver Shift Control we will be performing Manual Downshift testing. The first phase is the 4-to-3 downshift. In OVERDIVE accelerate to between 40 and 55 miles-per-hour with TCC applied. While moving the gear selector to THIRD, release the throttle. Verify the TCC releases, the transmission downshifts immediately to THIRD and the engine slows the vehicle.
Now repeat manual downshift testing, at the respective speeds, for the 4-to-2, and 4-to-1 manual downshifts. Observe and note the transmission is performing the same way. The next portion of our test, Coasting Downshifts, has us accelerate the vehicle to OVERDRIVE with the TCC applied, release the throttle and lightly apply the brakes. The TCC releases and the downshifts are occurring at the speeds shown in the Shift Speed table.
Next, quickly increase the throttle angle to greater than 50% and verify the TCC releases and the transmission downshifts immediately. The full throttle detent downshift occurs in similar fashion to the part throttle detent downshift except that you need to quickly increase throttle to 100%. th The vehicle should downshift from 4 to 2nd and TCC releases. Manual Downshift testing is not required for vehicles with Driver Shift Control.

Verify: No upshifts occur. The TCC does not engage. And there is no noticeable slip, noise or vibration.
The manual SECOND gear phase begins with the vehicle stopped. Place the gear selector into SECOND and accelerate to 35 miles-per-hour. With this test, verify: vehicle starts in 2ND The 2-3 shift does NOT occur And there is no noticeable slip, noise or vibration
The manual THIRD gear phase also begins with the vehicle stopped. Place the gear selector into THIRD gear and accelerate to 40 miles-per-hour. With this test, verify: The 1-2 shift occurs. The 2-3 shift occurs. And there is no noticeable slip, noise or vibration.
That concludes the physical portion of the Road Test. The final step is to return to the garage and analyze the data we observed.

Gently pull on the tool to pull the Input Speed Sensor Wiring Harness through the transaxle. You may have to work the wire and the tool back-and-forth a couple of times to get the connector through the case opening. If the dry lubricant on the replacement Input Speed Sensor Seal is damaged or missing, lubricate the seal with transmission fluid. Install the Input Speed Sensor. Due to the physical characteristics of plastic, it is important to use threadlocker, GM P/N 12345382, on the Input Speed Sensor Bolt or it may eventually come loose. Tighten to specification. Install the new Valve Body Cover Assembly Gasket. Install the Valve Body Cover Assembly and tighten the bolts to the appropriate specification.

Transmission Fluid Pan There is a tube in the bottom of the pan that is used to set fluid level.
Notice: The transmission fluid level must be checked when the transmission fluid temperature (TFT) is between 30-50C (86-122F). If the TFT is not within this range, operate the vehicle or allow the fluid to cool as required. Setting the fluid level with a TFT outside this range will result in either an under or over-filled transmission. TFT>50C=under-filled, TFT<30C=over-filled. An under-filled transmission will cause premature component wear or damage. An overfilled transmission will cause fluid to discharge out the vent tube, fluid foaming, or pump cavitation.

The test has been completed and we have a sticking valve. The next step is to replace the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly.
TECH TIP
Run the Test #2
Connect the test harness Connect shop air Command solenoid ON and OFF It is recommended that transmission adaptive pressure (TAP) information be reset. Resetting the TAP values using a scan tool will erase all learned values in all cells. As a result, the engine control module (ECM), powertrain control module (PCM, or transmission control module (TCM) will need to relearn TAP values. Transmission performance may be affected as new TAP values are learned.

TECH TIP
If at any time during the procedure the required conditions are NOT met, Service Fast Learn Adapts may abort and the process may need to be started over from the beginning.
Once the Service Fast Learn Adapts procedure has completed all 3 stages, the transmission will remain in a NEUTRAL state.
Important note:
Engine OFF Once the procedure is complete, shut OFF the engine and power down the TCM. Scan Tool Communication Loss You will lose communication to the scan tool. Restart engine Procedure complete At this point, the Service Fast Learn Adapts procedure is complete
