AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION  5A-69

MECHANICAL TESTS

In Vehicle Transmission Checks

Carry out the following tests before removing the transmission.

!

See Checking Transmission Fluid Level, Section 7.2.1.

!

Check that the transmission oil is not burnt (colour and smell are correct).

!

Ensure that the transmission is not in limp home mode (LHM).

!

Check that the battery terminals and the earth connections are not corroded or loose.

!

Check the engine stall speed is within the handbook value.

!

Check that the cooler flow is not restricted.

!

Check that all electrical plug connections are tight.

!

Carry out a road test to confirm the symptoms, if necessary.

!

Inspect the oil, ensure that there are no metal or other contaminants in the oil pan.

Diagnosing Oil Leaks

Determine the source of oil leaks by firstly cleaning down the affected area, then driving the vehicle.

Inspect the seals to confirm the source of the leak.

!

To determine the source of a rear servo oil leak, raise the vehicle on a hoist, then carry out a reverse stall.

!

To determine the source of a front servo leak, raise the vehicle on a hoist, then run the vehicle in second gear.

Troubleshooting Charts

The troubleshooting charts are set out as follows:
