• Before assembly, apply a coat of recommended ATF to all parts. Apply petroleum jelly to protect O-rings and
seals, or hold bearings and washers in place during assembly. Do not use grease.
• Extreme care should be taken to avoid damage to O-rings, seals and gaskets when assembling.
• Clean or replace ATF cooler if excessive foreign material is found in oil pan or clogging strainer. Refer to
Refer to .
• After overhaul, refill the A/T with new ATF.
• When the A/T drain plug is removed, only some of the fluid is drained. Old A/T fluid will remain in torque con-
verter and ATF cooling system.
Always follow the procedures under “Changing A/T Fluid” in the AT section when changing A/T fluid. Refer to
MA-22, "
Changing A/T Fluid", MA-22, "Checking A/T Fluid".
Service Notice or PrecautionINFOID:0000000001703155
ATF COOLER SERVICE
If A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.), or if an A/T is repaired, overhauled, or replaced,
inspect and clean the A/T oil cooler mounted in the radiator or replace the radiator. Flush cooler lines using
cleaning solvent and compressed air after repair. Check Service Bulletins for latest A/T oil cooler cleaning pro-
cedure. For radiator replacement, refer to Refer to CO-11
.
TORQUE CONVERTER SERVICE
The torque converter should be replaced under any of the following conditions:
• External leaks in the hub weld area.
• Converter hub is scored or damaged.
• Converter pilot is broken, damaged or fits poorly into crankshaft.
• Steel particles are found after flushing the cooler and cooler lines.
• Pump is damaged or steel particles are found in the converter.
• Vehicle has TCC shudder and/or no TCC apply. Replace only after all hydraulic and electrical diagnoses
have been made. (Converter clutch material may be glazed.)
• Converter is contaminated with engine coolant containing antifreeze.
• Internal malfunction of stator roller clutch.
• Heavy clutch debris due to overheating (blue converter).
• Steel particles or clutch lining material found in fluid filter or on magnet when no internal parts in unit are
worn or damaged — indicates that lining material came from converter.
The torque converter should not be replaced if:
• The fluid has an odor, is discolored, and there is no evidence of metal or clutch facing particles.
• The threads in one or more of the converter bolt holes are damaged.
• A/T malfunction did not display evidence of damaged or worn internal parts, steel particles or clutch plate lin-
ing material in unit and inside the fluid filter.
• Vehicle has been exposed to high mileage (only). The exception may be where the torque converter clutch
dampener plate lining has seen excess wear by vehicles operated in heavy and/or constant traffic, such as
taxi, delivery or police use.
OBD-II SELF-DIAGNOSIS
• A/T self-diagnosis is performed by the TCM in combination with the ECM. The results can be read through
the blinking pattern of the OD OFF indicator lamp or the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). Refer to the table
on AT-78, "
Diagnosis Procedure without CONSULT-III" for the indicator used to display each self-diagnostic
result.
• The self-diagnostic results indicated by the MIL are automatically stored in both the ECM and TCM memo-
ries.
Always perform the procedure “HOW TO ERASE DTC” on AT-36, "
OBD-II Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC)" to complete the repair and avoid unnecessary blinking of the MIL.
• The following self-diagnostic items can be detected using ECM self-diagnostic results mode* only when the
OD OFF indicator lamp does not indicate any malfunctions.
-PNP switch
- A/T 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th gear function
*: For details of OBD-II, refer to AT- 3 6
.
•Certain systems and components, especially those related to OBD, may use a new style slide-lock-
ing type harness connector.
For description and how to disconnect, refer to PG-65
.

A centrifugal cancel housing is provided to cancel the clutch housing pressure. The centrifugal cancel housing
is always filled with ATF from the dedicated fluid passage of oil pump.
When Clutch Pressure Is Not Applied
As high clutch drum rotates, a centrifugal force applies to the remaining ATF in clutch housing to push high
clutch piston. However, on the other hand, the centrifugal force also applies to ATF filled in centrifugal cancel
housing, resulting in a force that pushes high clutch piston back. Consequently the high clutch piston does not
move because both forces cancel each other, and thus high clutch is prevented from dragging.
When Clutch Pressure Is Applied
Clutch pressure that applies to clutch housing overcomes the fluid pressure and spring force of the opposing
centrifugal housing to push high clutch piston, and high clutch is engaged. At this time, the centrifugal force
caused by the revolution speed of high clutch drum has no impact any more since the centrifugal force that
applies to the clutch pressure of clutch housing is canceled by the centrifugal force that applies to centrifugal
cancel housing. As a result, high clutch piston pressing force is always stable in all revolution speeds, and
thus smooth shifting characteristics are achieved.

A/T FLUID CHECK
Fluid Leakage and Fluid Level Check
Check fluid leakage and check the fluid level. Refer to MA-22, "Checking A/T Fluid".
Fluid Condition Check
Check the A/T fluid condition.
STALL TEST
Stall Test Procedure
1. Check ATF and engine oil levels. If necessary, add ATF and
engine oil.
2. Drive vehicle for approximately 10 minutes or until ATF and
engine oil reach operating temperature.
3. Set parking brake and block wheels.
4. Install a tachometer where it can be seen by driver during test.
•It is good practice to mark the point of specified engine
rpm on indicator.
5. Start engine, apply foot brake, and place selector lever in “D”
position.

Location of line pressure test ports are shown in the figure.
•Always replace pressure plugs as they are self-sealing bolts.
Line Pressure Test Procedure
1. Check ATF and engine oil levels. If necessary, add ATF or
engine oil.
2. Drive vehicle for approx. 10 minutes or until engine oil and ATF
reach operating temperature.
3. Install oil pressure gauge to corresponding line pressure test
port.
4. Set parking brake and block wheels.
5. Start engine and measure line pressure at idle and stall speed.
CAUTION:
• Keep the brake pedal pressed all the way down during
measurement.
• When measuring the line pressure at the stall speed, refer
to "STALL TEST".
