We wish to thank Chrysler® Group for the information that has made this booklet possible.
The 46RE, 47RE and 48RE family of transmissions by the Chrysler Group, are fitted behind a wide variety of
engine sizes, including diesel, and across various vehicle lines. They are also available in 2WD and 4WD
configurations. Beginning at the start of production for model year 2005, Dodge trucks equipped with the 5.9L
diesel and 48RE transmission were equipped with an electronically controlled Transmission Throttle Valve
Actuator (TTVA). This Actuator has replaced the previous Throttle Valve Cable and all associated linkage.
A push-in Transmission Range Sensor was implemented in model year 2002 to replace the screw-in Park/Neutral
switch.
The 46RE, 47RE and 48RE transmissions are all four speed fully automatic units with an electronic governor.
They are equipped with a lock-up clutch in the torque converter. First through third gear ranges are provided by the
clutches, bands, low-roller clutch, and planetary gearsets in the transmission. Fourth gear is provided by the
overdrive unit (rear section) that contains an overdrive clutch, OD/direct clutch, overrun roller clutch, and planetary
gearset.
These units contain a front (direct) clutch, rear (forward) clutch, and OD/direct clutch which serve as the input
driving components. They also contain a kickdown (front) band, low/reverse (rear) band, overrun clutch, and the
overdrive clutch which serve as the holding components.

Technical Service Information
The 46RE, 47RE and 48RE family of transmissions by
the Chrysler Group are fitted behind a wide variety of
engine sizes and across various vehicle lines, as shown
in Figure 1. They are also available in 2WD and 4WD
configurations, as shown in Figure 2. Notice also in
Figure 2, at the start of production for model year 2005,
Dodge trucks equipped with the 5.9L diesel and 48RE
transmission, were equipped with an electronically
controlled Transmission Throttle Valve Actuator
(TTVA). This Actuator has replaced the previous
Throttle Valve Cable and all associated linkage. The
push-in Range Sensor was implemented in model year
2002.
The 46RE, 47RE and 48RE transmissions are all four
speed fully automatic units with an electronic governor.
They are equipped with a lock-up clutch in the torque
converter. First through third gear ranges are provided
by the clutches, bands, low-roller clutch, and planetary
gearsets in the transmission. Fourth gear is provided by
the overdrive unit (rear section) that contains an
overdrive clutch, OD/direct clutch, overrun roller
clutch, and planetary gearset. Refer to Figure 3 for the
internal component locations and identification.
These units contain a front clutch, rear clutch, and
OD/direct clutch which serve as the input driving
components. They also contain a kickdown (front)
band, low/reverse (rear) band, overrun clutch, and the
overdrive clutch which all serve as the holding
components.
The driving and holding components combine to select
the necessary planetary gear components in the front,
rear, or overdrive planetary gearset and transfer the
engine power from the input shaft through to the output
shaft. Refer to Figure 4 for the component application
chart for which component is applied for each gear.
First, second and third gear shifts are controlled by an
electronic governor solenoid, that is mounted on the
valve body assembly. The shift into fourth gear and
torque converter clutch are controlled by individual
seperate solenoids that are also mounted on the valve
body assembly.
The valve body is mounted on the lower side of the
transmission and contains the valves necessary for
pressure regulation, fluid flow control and clutch or
band application. The valve body assembly has
received several upgrades and changes over the years.
The oil pump is mounted at the front of the
transmission and is driven by the torque converter hub.
The oil pump supplies the pressure necessary for clutch
and/or band application and transmission lubrication.

EXTERNAL ELECTRONIC COMPONENT LOCATIONS
The Output Speed Sensor (OSS) is located in the
overdrive case housing, as shown in Figure 5, and is
positioned over the park gear. The OSS monitors
rotating speed of the output shaft.
The OSS is triggered by the external park lugs on the
rear planetary ring gear to determine the exact
transmission output shaft speed. The OSS signal, and
other inputs, are used by the TCM/PCM/ECM to
determine the required governor pressure for current
conditions. This has a direct effect on which gear is
chosen for the vehicle. The controller also uses this
information to schedule torque converter lock-up.
Should the OSS fail, the speed signal from the ABS
control module is used as a back-up, and code P0720
will be stored in TCM/PCM/ECM memory.
The OSS sensor and wire schematic for Gas and Diesel
is shown in Figure 6.

Special Note:
The OSS is best checked using a scope under
operating conditions.

EXTERNAL ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS (CONT'D)
Transmission Throttle Valve Acuator (TTVA)
Figure 7
Beginning at the start of production for the 2005 model
year, all Dodge trucks equipped with the 5.9L diesel
engine and the 48RE transmission, received an
electronically controlled Transmission Throttle Valve
Actuator (TTVA), as shown in Figure 7, for improved
shift control. The TTVA is mechanically connected to
the throttle valve in the valve body by the "D" shaped
opening in the bottom of the TTVA shaft and retained
with two mounting bolts, as shown in Figure 7. This
required two added bosses to the transmission case.
The TTVA has replaced the previous Throttle Valve
Cable and all associated mechanical linkage, on diesel
models only.
The TTVA consists of an electronic DC motor, two
potentiometers and a gear driven system that controls
all functions of the throttle valve in the valve body. The
position of the geartrain is monitored by the TTVA
Position sensor which supplies an input to the Engine
Control Module (ECM).
The TTVA is controlled by the ECM thru the inputs of
Accelerator Position Sensor 1 and 2. Refer to the charts
in Figure 8 for observed voltage and percent of opening,
from a working vehicle, of APP1 and APP2 to the
voltages that control the TTVA and the TTVA position
voltage feedback to the ECM. Refer to Figure 11 for
wiring schematic of the accelerator pedal position
sensor to assist you in the diagnosis process as
necessary.
Note: If the TTVA is removed or replaced, the ECM
will have to relearn it's "0" position. The ignition will
have to be turned on, with the engine off, for 30
seconds to accomplish "Auto Zero."
With the addition of the TTVA a new wiring harness was
required. Refer to Figure 10 for a partial wire schematic
of the TTVA and its connectors. Refer to Figure 9 for a
list of new Diagnostic Trouble Codes related to the
TTVA.
If a new case is required, it must be a 2005 or later case
because of the added bosses to the case to accommodate
the TTVA.
