sible, drive the vehicle for a few kilometers (N–D,
N–R, shift until two gear). This will allow the trans-
axle to be within the correct temperature range.
Transaxle fluid level should be checked at tempera-
ture 20 to 45°C (68 to 113°F).
CAUTION : Removal of the fluid filler plug when the
transaxle fluid is hot may cause injury if fluid drains
from the filler hole.
2. Switch off accessories, especially air conditioner,
heater.
3. With the brake pedal pressed, move the gear shift
control lever through the gear ranges, pausing a
few seconds in each range. Return the gearshift
lever to P(Park). Turn the engine OFF.
4. Park the vehicle on a hoist, inspection pit or similar
raised level surface. The vehicle must be level to
obtain a correct fluid level measurement.
5. Place a fluid container below the fluid filler plug.
6. Clean all dirt from around the fluid filler plug.
Remove the fluid filler plug. Clean the filler plug and
check that there is no damage to the ”O” ring.
S If fluid drains through the filler hole the transaxle
may have been overfilled. When the fluid stops
draining the fluid level is correct. Install the fluid
filler plug and tighten it to 45NSm(34 lb–ft).
S If fluid does not drain through the filler hole, the
transaxle fluid level may be low. Lower the ve-
hicle, and start the vehicle in P(Park) with the
parking brake and the brake applied. With the
engine idling, move the gear shift lever through
the gear ranges, pausing a few seconds in each
range and adding the fluid until gear application
is felt. Return the gear shift lever to P(Park).
Turn the engine OFF and raise the vehicle.
Check if the fluid level is aligned with the bottom
of the filler hole. If not, add a small quantity of
fluid to the correct level. Install the fluid filler
plug and tighten it to 45NSm(34 lb–ft).
7. When the fluid level checking procedure is com-
pleted, wipe any fluid around the filler plug with a
rag or shop towel.
Fluid Level Set After Service
1. Depending on the service procedure performed,
add the following amounts of fluid through the filler
plug hole prior to adjusting the fluid level:
Oil pan removal – 4 liters (4.23 quarts)
Converter removal – 2 liters ( 2.11 quarts)
Overhaul – 6.9liters (7.3 quarts)
Oil drain plug removal – 4 liters (4.23 quarts)
2. Follow steps 1 through 4 of the Fluid Level Diagno-
sis Procedure.
3. Clean all dirt from around the fluid filler plug.
Remove the fluid filler plug. Clean the filler plug and
check that there is no damage to the ”O” ring.
4. Lower the vehicle with the filler plug still removed
and start the vehicle in P(Park) with the parking
brake and the brake applied. With the engine idling,move the gear shift lever through the gear ranges,
pausing a few seconds in each range and adding
the fluid until gear application is felt. Then add an
additional 0.5 liters of fluid. Return the gear shift
lever to P(Park). Turn the engine OFF and raise the
vehicle. Install the fluid filler plug and tighten it to
45NSm (34 lb–ft).
5. Drive the vehicle at 2.2 miles(3.5km) to 2.8
miles(4.5 km) with light throttle so that the engine
does not exceed 2500 rpm. This should result in
the transaxle temperature being in the range 20 to
45°C (68 to 11°F). With the brake applied, move
the shift lever through the gear ranges, pausing a
few seconds in each range at the engine idling.
6. Return the gear shift lever to P(Park). Turn the en-
gine OFF and raise the vehicle on the hoist, if appli-
cable, ensuring the vehicle is level. When the three
minutes passed after the engine stopped, remove
the filler plug. Check if the fluid level is aligned with
the bottom of the filler hole. If not, add a small
quantity of fluid to the correct level. Install the fluid
filler plug and tighten it to 45NSm (34 lb–ft).
7. Wipe any fluid around the filler plug with a rag or
shop towel.
Fluid Leak Diagnosis and Repair
The cause of most external leaks can generally be Lo-
cated and repaired with the transaxle in the vehicle.
Methods for Locating Leaks
General Method
1. Verify that the leak is transaxle fluid.
2. Thoroughly clean the suspected leak area.
3. Drive the vehicle for approximately 25 km (15
miles) or until the transaxle reaches normal operat-
ing temperature (88°C, 190°F).
4. Park the vehicle over clean paper or cardboard.
5. Turn the engine OFF and look for fluid spots on the
paper.
6. Make the necessary repairs to correct the leak.
Powder Method
1. Thoroughly clean the suspected leak area.
2. Apply an aerosol type powder (foot powder) to the
suspected leak area.
3. Drive the vehicle for approximately 25 km (15
miles) or until the transaxle reaches normal operat-
ing temperature (88°C, 190°F).
4. Turn the engine OFF.
5. Inspect the suspected leak area and trace the leak
path through the powder to find the source of the
leak.
6. Make the necessary repairs.
Dye and Black Light Method
1. Add dye to the transaxle though the transaxle fluid
filler plug. Follow the manufacturer’s recommenda-
tion for the amount of dye to be used.
2. Use the black light to find the fluid leak.
3. Make the necessary repairs.

DAEWOO V–121 BL4
Repairing the Fluid Leak
Once the leak point is found the source of the leak must
be determined. The following list describes the potential
causes for the leak:
S Fasteners are not torqued to specification.
S Fastener threads and fastener holes are dirty or
corroded.
S Gaskets, seals or sleeves are misarranged, dam-
aged or worn.
S Damaged, warped or scratched seal bore or gasket
surface.
S Loose or worn bearing causing excess seal or
sleeve wears.
S Case or component porosity.
S Fluid level is too high.
S Plugged vent or damaged vent tube.
S Water or coolant in fluid.
S Fluid drain back holes plugged.
ELECTRICAL/GARAGE SHIFT TEST
This preliminary test should be performed before a hoist
or road test to make sure electronic control inputs is con-
nected and operating. If the inputs are not checked before
operating the transaxle, a simple electrical condition could
be misdiagnosed as a major transaxle condition.
A scan tool provides valuable information and must be
used on the automatic transaxle for accurate diagnosis.
1. Move gear selector to P (Park) and set the parking
brake.
2. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC)
terminal.
3. Start engine.
4. Turn the scan tool ON.
5. Verify that the appropriate signals are present.
These signals may include:
S ENGINE SPEED
S VEHICLE SPEED
S THROTTLE POSITION
S TRANSAXLE GEAR STATE
S GEAR SHIFT LEVER POSITION
S TRANSAXLE FLUID TEMPERATURE
S CLOSED THROTTLE POSITION LEARN
S OPEN THROTTLE POSITION LEARNT
S CLOSED ACCEL. PEDAL POSITION LEARNT
S OPEN ACCEL. PEDAL POSITION LEARNT
S A/C COMPRESSOR STATUS
S MODE SWITCH
S THROTTLE POSITION VOLTAGE
S GEAR SHIFT LEVER POSITION VOLTAGE
S TRANS. FLUID TEMPERATURE VOLTAGE
S A/C SWITCH
S MODE SWITCH VOLTAGE
S BATTERY VOLTAGE
6. Monitor the A/C COMPRESSOR STATUS signal
while pushing the A/C switch.S The A/C COMPRESSOR STATUS should come
ON when the A/C switch is pressed, and turns
OFF when the A/C switch is repushed.
7. Monitor the GEAR SHIFT LEVER POSITION signal
and move the gear shift control lever through all the
ranges.
S Verify that the GEAR SHIFT LEVER POSITION
value matches the gear range indicated on the
instrument panel or console.
S Gear selections should be immediate and not
harsh.
8. Move gear shift control lever to neutral and monitor
the THROTTLE POSITION signal while increasing
and decreasing engine speed with the accelerator
pedal.
S THROTTLE POSITION should increase with
engine speed.
ROAD TEST PROCEDURE
S Perform the road test using a scan tool.
S This test should be performed when traffic and road
conditions permit.
S Observe all traffic regulations.
The TCM calculates upshift points based primarily on two
inputs : throttle angle and vehicle speed. When the TCM
wants a shift to occur, an electrical signal is sent to the shift
solenoids which in turn moves the valves to perform the
upshift.
The shift speed charts reference throttle angle instead of
”min throttle” or ”wot” to make shift speed measurement
more uniform and accurate. A scan tool should be used to
monitor throttle angle. Some scan tools have been pro-
grammed to record shift point information. Check the
introduction manual to see if this test is available.
Upshift Procedure
With gear selector in drive(D)
1. Look at the shift speed chart contained in this sec-
tion and choose a percent throttle angle of 10 or
25%.
2. Set up the scan tool to monitor throttle angle and
vehicle speed.
3. Accelerate to the chosen throttle angle and hold the
throttle steady.
4. As the transaxle upshifts, note the shift speed and
commanded gear changes for :
S Second gear.
S Third gear.
S Fourth gear.
Important : Shift speeds may vary due to slight hydraulic
delays responding to electronic controls. A change from
the original equipment tire size affects shift speeds.
Note when TCC applies. This should occur in fourth gear.
If the apply is not noticed by an rpm drop, refer to the
”Lock–up Clutch Diagnosis” information contained in this
section.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE(DTC) P0710
TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR
CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION
Circuit Description
The TFT sensor is a positive temperature coefficient
thermistor (temperature sensitive resistor) that provides
information to the TCM regarding transaxle fluid tempera-
ture. The temperature sensor is located in valve body. Cal-
culated temperature is a factor used to determine the shift
time and shift delay time.
The internal electrical resistance of the sensor varies in
relation to the operating temperature of the transaxle fluid.
The TCM sends a 5 volt–reference signal to the tempera-
ture sensor and measures the voltage rise in the electrical
circuit. A higher fluid temperature creates a higher resist-
ance in the temperature sensor, thereby measuring a
higher voltage signal.
The TCM measures this voltage as another input to help
control line pressure, shift schedules and TCC apply.
When transaxle fluid temperature reaches 120°C (248°F)
the TCM enters ”hot mode.” Above this temperature the
TCM modifies transaxle shift schedules and TCC apply in
an attempt to reduce fluid temperature by reducing trans-
axle heat generation.Conditions for Setting The DTC
S The calculated temperature is compared with the
predetermined min. and max. value.
S If the temperature is less than min. value or greater
than max value then the current temperature is re-
garded as of range and the corresponding error but
will be set.
S Transmission fluid temperature is not between
–40°C (–40°F) and 150°C (302°F).
Action Taken When The DTC Sets
S No lamp control required but diagnostic information
should be stored immediately when malfunction is
defected.
S TCM assumes the transaxle fluid temperature is
60°C.
S No influence on drivability.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
S Using a scan tool can clear history DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
S When DTC P0710 sets, the possible cause of fault
could be Transmission Temperature Sensor.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
POWER RACK AND PINION
The power rack and pinion steering system has a rotary
control valve that directs hydraulic fluid coming from the
hydraulic pump to one side or the other side of the rack pis-
ton. The integral rack piston is attached to the rack. The
rack piston converts hydraulic pressure to a linear force
that moves the rack left or right. That force is then trans-
mitted through the tie rods to the steering knuckles, which
turn the wheels.
If power rack and pinion steering is not available, manual
rack and pinion control is used; however, with this system,
more steering effort is required. The movement of the
steering wheel is transferred to the pinion. The rotary
movement of the pinion is then transferred through the pin-
ion threads, which mesh with teeth on the rack, thereby
causing the rack to move in a linear direction.
A vane–type of hydraulic pump provides hydraulic pres-
sure for both steering systems.
SPEED SENSITIVE POWER
STEERING SYSTEM
The speed sensitive power steering (SSPS) system varies
the driver effort required to steer as the vehicle speed
changes. At low speeds, the system provides maximum
power assist for easy turning and parking maneuvers. At
higher speeds, the steering power is reduced to provide
the driver with firmer steering and directional stability. The
SSPS system accomplishes this by reducing the amount
of power steering fluid flow from the power steering pump
to the power steering gear as the vehicle speed increases.
When the vehicle is stationary, the SSPS system provides
maximum fluid flow to the steering gear. As the vehicle
speed increases, the fluid flow to the steering gear is de-
creased.
Control Module
The SSPS control module processes the vehicle speed in-
formation from the engine control module (ECM) and uses
the steering wheel rotation sensor to provide a control sig-
nal to the electronic variable orifice (EVO) actuator located
on the power steering pump.
Electronic Variable Orifice (EVO) Actuator
The electronic variable orifice (EVO) actuator is located on
the power steering pump and contains a solenoid– oper-
ated pintle valve. Fluid leaving the pump passes through
an orifice in the actuator tip. When the EVO actuator is
powered by the SSPS control module, the pintle moves
into the orifice and reduces the power steering fluid flow.As the vehicle speed increases, current from the SSPS
control module increases, and the pintle blocks more and
more of the orifice.
Steering Wheel Rotation Sensor
The steering wheel rotation sensor is located at the end of
the steering column housing and is used to send a signal
to the controller when abrupt or evasive steering maneu-
vers are needed.
Power Steering Pressure Hose
SSPS vehicles have a specific pressure hose assembly
which includes an in–line check valve in the rack and pin-
ion assembly. This reduces the amount of steering wheel
”kick” when driving over irregular road surfaces while oper-
ating at speeds with reduced flow rate and pressure.
Power Rack and Pinion
Except for differences in valve machining, the design of
the SSPS power rack and pinion assembly is the same as
for the a non–SSPS system. The steering wheel move-
ment is transferred to the pinion via the intermediate shaft.
The pinion moves the rack left or right through meshing the
pinion and the rack teeth. The force is then transmitted
through the tie rods and steering knuckle to steer the
wheels.
The power rack and pinion steering system has a rotary
control valve which directs the hydraulic fluid from the
power steering pump to one side or the other side of the
rack piston. The piston is attached to the rack and uses hy-
draulic pressure to move the rack left or right. The rotary
control valve regulates the degree of assist by responding
to the driver’s torque input.
If hydraulic assist is not available, manual control is main-
tained. However, under this condition, more steering effort
is required.
Power Steering Pump
The standard vane–type pump, which provides hydraulic
pressure for the system, incorporates a special discharge
fitting to hold the EVO actuator.
System Operation
System operation originates with input from the vehicle
speed sensor via the engine control module to the SSPS
control module. The SSPS control module sends a signal
to the SSPS actuator to vary the rate of fluid flow output
by the power steering pump.
Circuit Operation
The SSPS system uses inputs from the speed sensor and
steering wheel rotation sensor to the SSPS controller to
determine the desired amount of power steering assist.
The SSPS control module constantly compares the
amount of current flowing through the EVO actuator to the
desired current it has calculated. The EVO actuator has a
pintle that moves in and out of an orifice, regulating power

LEAK TESTING REFRIGERANT
SYSTEM
Test for leaks whenever you suspect a refrigerant leak in
the system. You should also test for leaks whenever you
perform a service operation which results in disturbing the
lines or the connections. Leaks are commonly found at the
refrigerant fittings or at the connections. Leaks are com-
monly caused by the following problems:
S Improper torque.
S Damaged O–ring seals.
S Dirt or lint on the O–ring seals.
Liquid Leak Detectors
Use a liquid leak detector solution on locations such as fit-
tings. Apply the solution to the area in question with the
swab that is supplied with the solution. Look for bubbles
to appear. This will indicate the existence and the location
of any leak.
For areas where this is not practical, such as sections of
the evaporator and the condenser, an electronic leak de-
tector is more useful.
Electronic Leak Detectors
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for calibration, op-
eration, and maintenance of an electronic leak detector.
Battery condition is especially important to the accuracy
of a portable model. Set the detector to R–134a before be-
ginning the test.
Notice : Electronic leak detectors are sensitive to wind-
shield washing solutions, solvents and cleaners, and cer-
tain vehicle adhesives. Surfaces must be clean to prevent
false readings. Make sure that all surfaces are dry to pre-
vent damage to the detector.
General Testing Instructions
1. Follow the entire path of the refrigerant system.
2. Completely circle each joint at 25 to 50 mm (1 to 2
inches) per second.
3. Hold the probe tip within 6 mm (1/4 inch) of the sur-
face.4. Do not block the air intake.
5. The audible tone changes from 1 to 2 clicks per
second into a solid alarm if there is a leak. Adjust
the balance control to maintain 1 to 2 clicks per
second.
6. Test all of the following areas, even after one leak
has been confirmed:
S Evaporator inlet and outlet.
S Receiver–drier inlet and outlet.
S Condenser inlet and outlet.
S Brazed and welded areas.
S Damaged areas.
S Hose couplings.
S Compressor rear head.
S All fittings and joints.
Testing Service Ports/Access Valves
The sealing caps provide protection for the service ports.
Make sure that these caps are not missing or loose. Al-
ways use the correct cap for each port.
Testing the Evaporator Core
Leaks in the evaporator core are difficult to find. Test the
evaporator core using the following procedure:
1. Run the blower fan at the maximum speed setting
for at least 15 minutes.
2. Turn the blower OFF.
3. Wait for 10 minutes.
4. Remove the blower motor resistor. Refer to Section
7A, Heating and Ventilation System.
5. Insert the leak detector probe as close as possible
to the evaporator core. The detector will indicate a
leak with a solid alarm.
6. Use a flashlight to search for refrigerant oil on the
core surface.
Testing the Compressor Shaft Seal
1. Blow shop air behind and in front of the compressor
clutch/pulley for at least 15 seconds.
2. Wait 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Probe the area in front of the pulley. If the detector
emits a solid alarm, there is a leak.

LEAK TESTING (EXTERNAL)
Tools Required
J–9625–A Pressure Testing Connector
1. Install the pressure testing connector J–9625–A to
the suction/discharge ports on the compressor.
2. Attach the center hose of the manifold gauge set on
the charging station to a refrigerant drum standing
in an upright position. Open the valve on the drum.
3. Connect the charging station high– and low–pres-
sure lines to the corresponding fittings on the pres-
sure testing connector J–9625–A (or hoses
equipped with valve depressors). The suction port
(low–side) of the compressor has a large internal
opening. The discharge port (high–side) has a
smaller internal opening into the compressor.
4. Open the low–pressure control, the high–pressure
control, and the refrigerant control on the charging
station to allow the refrigerant vapor to flow into the
compressor.
5. Using a leak detector, check for leaks at the high–
pressure relief valve seal, the housing seal, the rear
head seal, the center cylinder seal, the through–bolt
gaskets, and the compressor shaft seal. After
checking for leaks, shut off the low–pressure con-
trol, the high–pressure control, and the refrigerant
control lines on the charging station.
6. If an external leak is present, perform the neces-
sary corrective measures and recheck for leaks to
verify that the leak has been corrected.
7. Loosen the manifold gauge hose connections to the
gauge adapters connected to the low and high
sides. Allow the vapor pressure to release from the
compressor. If valve depressor–type hoses are
used, loosen the hose connections at the gauge
manifold to release vapor pressure from the com-
pressor.
8. Disconnect both gauge hoses. Remove the pres-
sure testing connector J–9625–A.
