BATTERY CHARGING
Observe the following safety precautions when
charging the battery:
1. Never attempt to charge the battery when the
fluid level is below the lower level line on the
side
of the battery. In this case, the battery
must be replaced.
2. Pay close attention to the battery during the
charging procedure.
Battery charging
should be discontinued or the
rate
of charge reduced if the battery feels hot
to the touch.
Battery charging
should be discontinued or the
rate
of charge reduced if the battery begins to
gas or spew electrolyte from the vent holes.
3. In order to more easily view the hydrometer
blue dot or ring, it may be necessary to jiggle
or tilt the battery.
4. Battery temperature can have a great effect on
battery charging capacity.
5. The sealed battery used on this vehicle may be
either quick-charged or slow-charged in the
same manner
as other batteries.
Whichever method you decide
to use, be sure
that you
completely charge the battery. Never
partially charge the battery.
JUMP STARTING
JUMP STARTING WITH AN AUXILIARY
(BOOSTER)
BATTERY
W CAUTION:
Never push or tow the vehicle in an attempt to
start it.
Serious damage to the emission sys­
tem as
well as other vehicle parts will result.
Treat both the discharged battery and the
booster battery
with great care when using
jumper cables. Carefully follow the jump start­
ing procedure, being
careful at all times to
avoid sparking.
wwARNING:
Failure to carefully follow the jump starting
procedure
could result in the following:
1. Serious personal injury, particulaly to your
eyes.
2. Property damage from a battery explo­
sion, battery acid, or an electrical fire.
3. Damage to the electronic components of
one or both vehicles particularly.
Never expose the battery to an open flame or elec­
trical
spark. Gas generated by the battery may catch
fire
or explode.
Remove any rings, watches, or other jewelry before
working around the battery. Protect
your eyes by
wearing
an approved set of goggles.
Never allow battery fluid to come in contact with
your eyes or skin.
Never
allow battery fluid to come in contact with
fabrics or painted surfaces.
Battery
fluid is a highly corrosive acid.
Should battery fluid come in contact with your eyes,
skin, fabric, or a painted surface,
immediately and
thoroughly rinse the affected area with clean tap
water. Never
allow metal tools or jumper cables to come
in contact with the positive battery
terminal, or any
other
metal surface of the vehicle. This will protect
against a short circuit.
Always keep batteries out of the reach of young
children.
JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE
1. Set the vehicle parking brake.
If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic
transmission,
place the selector lever in the
"PARK" position.
If the vehicle is equipped with a manual trans­
mission
place the shift lever in the "NEUTRAL"
position.
Turn
"OFF" the ignition.
Turn
"OFF" all lights and any other accessory
requiring
electrical power.
2. Look at the built-in hydrometer.
If the indication area of the built-in hydrometer
is
completely clear, do not try to jump start.
3. Attach the end of one jumper cable to the posi­
tive
terminal of the booster battery.
Attach the other end
of the same cable to the
positive
terminal of the discharged battery.
Do not allow the vehicles to touch each other.
This
will cause a ground connection, effectively
neutralizing
the charging procedure.
Be sure that the booster battery has a 12 volt
rating.
4. Attach one end of the remaining cable to the
negative
terminal of the booster battery.
Attach the other end
of the same cable to a
solid engine ground (such as the air condition­
ing compressor bracket or the generator
mounting bracket)
of the vehicle with the dis­
charged battery.
This ground connection must be at
least 450
mm (18 in) from the battery of the vehicle
whose battery is being charged.

CHECKING TRANSMISSION FLUID
LEVEL AND CONDITION
Checking fluid level and condition (color and odor)
at
regular intervals will provide early diagnosis
information about the transmission. This inform­
ation may be used to correct a condition that, if not
detected early, could result in major transmission
repairs.
IMPORTANT: When new, automatic transmission
fluid is red in color. As the vehicle is driven, the
transmission
fluid will begin to look darker in color.
The
color may eventually appear light brown.
A DARK
brown color with burnt odor may indicate
excessive
fluid deterioration and signal a need for
fluid change.
FLUID LEVEL
When adding
or changing fluid, use only DEXRON
®-Ill.
Refer to the Maintenance and Lubrication (Section 0
of this manual) for maintenance information and
servicing
interval.
\f CAUTION: DO NOT OVERFILL
Overfilling will cause foaming, loss ~f fluid,
abnormal shifting and possible damage to
the transmission.
1. Start engine and drive vehicle until normal AfT
oil operating temperature is reached:
NOTE: The automatic transmission fluid level
must be checked with the vehicle at normal
A/T oil operating temperature: 75 TO 85°C
(167 TO 185°F) MEASURED WITH TECH1 SCAN
TOOL.
Temperature will greatly affect transmission
fluid level.
If the vehicle is not at normal AfT oil operating
temperature and the proper checking
procedures are
not followed, the result could
be a false reading of the fluid level indicator
and
an incorrect adjustment of the fluid level.
2. Park vehicle on level ground.
3. Move gear selector to "Park".
4. Apply parking brake and block wheels.
5. Allow vehicle to idle for 3 minutes with all
accessories turned off.
6. Check fluid level with engine running at idle:
Fluid should
be in "HOT" area on AfT dipstick
(Fig. 7A-6).
Check also color and condition (Refer to next
page.)

\f CAUTION:
DO NOT CHECK FLUID LEVEL UNDER THESE
CONDITIONS: •
At high ambient temperature above 30°C
(86°F).
Immediately after driving at sustained highway
speeds.
• In heavy city traffic during hot weather.
If vehicle is towing a trailer.
If the vehicle has been operated under these
conditions,
shut the engine off and allow the
vehicle to "cool" for thirty (30) minutes. After the
cool-down period, restart the vehicle and continue

CHART 13: SHUDDER ONLY DURING TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC) APPLYING
PERFORM PRELIMINARY INSPECTION FIRST!
TCC shudder is one of the most commonly misdiagnosed conditions in
an automatic transmission. The key to diagnosing TCC shudder is to note when it happens and under what conditions. Once the TCC has
been fully applied, it is nearly impossible to make it shudder. TCC shudder {short burst of noise normally less than 1 second) will only
occur during clutch applying. It is not a steady state condition.
Drive
until whole drivetrain is at normal operating temperature.
-On 4WD vehicles, the test must be performed with transfer case selector lever in "2H" position.
- Shudder is a SHORT BURST OF NOISE NORMALLY LESS THAN 1
SECOND IN DURATION, and can be induced by the following maneuver:
From coast condition at
50 mph in "D" range {Normal mode), depress
the throttle to 1/4-1/3 throttle. If present, shudder {short burst of noise normally less than 1 sec.) will occur within 5 seconds together with TCC applying. {TECH1 may be used to determine the exact time of TCC applying)
YES
Replace transmission fluid and filter {remove both pans) and flush
cooler lines.
Replace
converter assembly and 0-ring on turbine shaft.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (4L30-E) 7 A-39
CHART 16: POSSIBLE CAUSES OF TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKS
Before attempting to correct an oil leak, the actual source of the leak must be determined. In many cases,
the source
of the leak may be difficult to determine due to "wind flow" around the engine and
transmission.
The suspected area
should be wiped clean of all oil before inspecting for the source of the leak.
Oil leaks
around the engine and transmission are generally carried toward the rear of the car by the air
stream. For example, a transmission "OIL FILLER TUBE TO CASE" leak will sometimes appear as a leak at
the rear
of the transmission. In determining the source of an leak, the following two checks should be
made:
1. With the engine running, check for external line pressure leaks.
2. With the engine off, check for oil leaks due to the raised oil level caused by drainback of converter oil
into the transmission.

STALL TEST
The stall test allows you to check the transmission for
internal abrasion and the oneway clutch for slippage.
Torque converter performance can also be evaluated.
The
stall test results together with the road test results
will identify transmission components requiring ser­
vicing or adjustment.
Stall Test Procedure:
1. Check the level of the engine coolant, the engine
oil, and the automatic transmission fluid.
Replenish
if necessary.
2. Block the wheels and set the parking brake.
3. Connect a tachometer to the engine.
4. Start the engine and allow it to idle until the
engine coolant temperature reaches
70 -8o·c
(158 -176.F).
5. Hold the brake pedal down as far as it will go.
6. Place the selector in the "D" range.
7. Gradually push the accelerator pedal to the floor.
The throttle valve
will be fully open.
Note the engine speed at which the tachometer
needle stabilizes.
Stall Speed
\fl NOTE:
2150 ± 150 rpm (SOHC)
2200 ± 150 rpm (DOHC)
VI Do not continuously run this test longer than 5
........, seconds.
8. Release the accelerator pedal.
9. Place the selector in the "N" range.
10. Run the engine at 1,200 rpm for one minute.
This
will cool the transmission fluid.
11. Repeat Steps 7-10 for the "3", "2", "L" and "R"
ranges.
