Technical Service Information: Automatic Transmission Service Group

The document describes a complaint of harsh shifts in a ZF4HP22 transmission. The cause was determined to be a failed pressure regulator "force motor". Replacing the regulator resolved the issue. As an alternative to the BMW regulator that costs $600, the document recommends using a GM 4L80-E force motor that costs $133 and functions similarly with minor differences.

ZF4HP22
EXTREMELY HARSH SHIFTS

COMPLAINT: Harsh engagements and severe shifts while all shift speeds are okay.

CAUSE: Pressure Regulator “Force Motor” failure (See Figure 1). Extremely high
pressure will result. This cannot always be diagnosed with an ohms test as the
failure may be mechanical.

CORRECTION: Replace the Pressure Regulator “Force Motor”.

NOTE: A new Pressure Regulator from BMW is just under $600.00 and is usually
available in less than two weeks. There is, however, a suitable alternative that
has proved most effective. The G.M. 4L80-E Force Motor is manufactured by
the same company and aside from a few minor differences does the same job.
Most of the overall dimensions are the same except that the G.M. 4L80-E Force
Motor uses screens in the plunger and port areas (See Figure 2). Those
differences are insignificant. A new 4L80-E Force Motor will cost you about
$133.00. The G.M. part # is 8677314.

Technical Service Information

Pressure Regulator ohms test across both terminals should be 2.5 - 4.0 ohms resistance.
This ohms test should be done near room temperature. Do not energize this force motor
with full battery voltage as damage may result.

Figure 2

The BMW Pressure Regulator on the left uses no screens. The G.M. 4L80-E Force Motor
on the right has screened ports and a steel ball pressed into the screw head to prevent
tampering.
