In 1992 electronic controls were added, and 4L60 (aka 700R4) became the 4L60-E.

Vortec uses PCM - powertrain control module, which was specifically designed to control 'E' style transmission. Mercifully, TV cable went away at the end of '92 and starting 93 model year the 'E' trany came into wide use. The P4 PCM were the OBD-I power controllers with part numbers 16197427, 16196395, and 16156930 were in wide use with TBI injected trucks. Vortec a completely different injection approach and has its own type under-hood weatherized PCM.
