INTRODUCTION
FORD 4F20E
The 4F20E electronically controlled automatic transaxle features a combination of electronic and mechanical
systems to control forward gear shifting torque converter lock-up for quietness and economy and self diagnosis
capability for simplifying trouble shooting procedures.
The electronic system controls the tranxaxle shifting in forward speeds and controls torque converter lock-up by
means of solenoid actuated valves. These shift solenoid valves, when activated apply the friction elements
(clutches and bands) to control shifting in the planetary gear. The shift timing and lock-up events are regulated
by the TCM in programmed logic and in response to input sensors and switches to produce optimum
performance.
