REMOVAL - PARKING BRAKE CABLE (INTERMEDIATE)
Raise the vehicle.
Manually lock out the automatic self-adjusting mechanism tension of the parking brake lever (pedal) assembly. Once the cable is released from the equalizer, do not remove the locking pliers until reinstallation of the cable is complete.
Remove the intermediate parking brake cable from the parking brake cable equalizer.
Remove the locking nut securing the intermediate cable housing to the side bracket on the frame rail.
Remove the intermediate parking brake cable from the cable connector attaching it to the right rear parking brake cable. Remove the locking nut securing the intermediate cable housing to the side bracket on the frame rail.
If the vehicle is a short-wheel-base model, it will be necessary to loosen and lower the fuel tank far enough to remove the intermediate parking brake cable.
Remove the intermediate parking brake cable from the side brackets and vehicle.

 

try this, it worked for me for in disabling the seat belt Chime (yes I wear my seat belt, but every now and then my wife takes her's off to give the kids a sippy or start to clean up vomit before I can pull over from my daughter who gets car sick)

Step 1 Get in the driver's seat of the car. Put the key in the ignition, but don't turn it on. Buckle your seat belt.

Step 2 Pull a bunch of seat belt slack out so you can have some room to work.

Step 3 Turn the key to the on position (you don't need to start the car) and wait for the seat belt warning light to turn off.

Step 4 Unbuckle the seat belt, and wait for the seat belt warning light to go on.

Step 5 Buckle the seat belt and wait for the seat belt warning light to go off.

Step 6 Repeat the above two steps, buckling and unbuckling the seat belt 2 more times ending up with the seat belt buckled. Be sure to wait for the light to turn on or off each time. You must complete this within 60 seconds. If you hear a chime while doing this, turn off the car and start over.

Step 7 Turn off the car. When you do, a single chime will be heard to let you know you have successfully completed the programming. If you don't hear the chime, you'll have to start the entire process over again. This seems absolutely crazy, I know, but that's the way it's done. Good luck!

(one note make sure you are waiting each time you unbuckle the belt to see the warning light, then rebuckling and waiting again till the warning light goes off, or at least for mine)

Also note, the seat belt light will still be on, just no chime

41TE TRANSAXLE
DESCRIPTION
The 41TE
41TE Transaxle is a four-speed transaxle that is a conventional hydraulic/mechanical assembly with an integral differential, and is controlled with adaptive electronic controls and monitors. The hydraulic system of the transaxle consists of the transaxle fluid, fluid passages, hydraulic valves, and various line pressure control components. An input clutch assembly which houses the underdrive, overdrive, and reverse clutches is used. It also utilizes separate holding clutches: 2nd/4th gear and Low/Reverse. The primary mechanical components of the transaxle consist of the following:

•Three multiple disc input clutches
•Two multiple disc holding clutches
•Four hydraulic accumulators
•Two planetary gear sets
•Hydraulic oil pump
•Valve body
•Solenoid/Pressure switch assembly
•Integral differential assembly
Control of the transaxle is accomplished by fully adaptive electronics. Optimum shift scheduling is accomplished through continuous real-time sensor feedback information provided to the Transmission Control Module (TCM)

The TCM is the heart of the electronic control system and relies on information from various direct and indirect inputs (sensors, switches, etc.) to determine driver demand and vehicle operating conditions. With this information, the TCM can calculate and perform timely and quality shifts through various output or control devices (solenoid pack, transmission control relay, etc.)

The TCM also performs certain self-diagnostic functions and provides comprehensive information (sensor data, DTC's, etc.) which is helpful in proper diagnosis and repair. This information can be viewed with the DRB scan tool.

TRANSAXLE IDENTIFICATION
The 41TE transaxle identification code is a series of digits printed on a bar-code label that is fixed to the transaxle case as shown in Transaxle Identification Label

For example, the identification code K 821 1125 1316 can be broken down as follows:

•K = Kokomo Transmission Plant
•821 = Last three digits of the transaxle part number
•1125 = Build date
•1316 = Build sequence number.
If the tag is not legible or missing, the "PK" number, which is stamped into the transaxle case behind the transfer gear cover, can be referred to for identification. This number differs slightly in that it contains the entire transaxle part number, rather than the last three digits.

OPERATION
Transmission output is directed to an integral differential by a transfer gear system in the following input-to-output ratios:

First 2.84 : 1
Second 1.57 : 1
Third 1.00 : 1
Overdrive 0.69 : 1
Reverse 2.21 : 1

GROUP: Vehicle Performance
DATE: August 18, 2010
NOTE: P0339 - Crankshaft Position Sensor Intermittent must be set along with the
other DTC's listed above. If P0339 - Crankshaft Position Sensor Intermittent
is not set then this bulletin does not apply.
DIAGNOSIS:

Engine Oil Change Indicator System — If Equipped


Oil Change Required
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change indicator system. The “Oil Change Required” message will flash in the EVIC display for approximately five seconds after a single chime has sounded, to indicate the next scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change indicator system is duty-cycle based, which means the engine oil change interval may fluctuate dependent upon your personal driving style.

Unless reset, this message will continue to display each time you turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. To turn off the message temporarily, press and release the Trip Odometer button on the instrument cluster. To reset the oil change indicator system (after performing the scheduled maintenance) refer to the following procedure.

Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Do not start the engine.
Fully depress the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.
Note: If the indicator message illuminates when you start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not reset. If necessary repeat this procedure.
