INSTALLATION
(1) (Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL INJEC-
TION - WARNING) Install the sealing ring on to the
sensor (Fig. 14).
(2) Screw the sensor in to the fuel rail. Counter-
hold the threaded connection and tighten the sensor
to 18 lbs. ft. (25 N´m.) (Fig. 14).
(3) Connect the wiring harness to the sensor.
(4) Install the mixing housing.
CAUTION: Care must be taken when installing the
engine cover. Assure the proper routing of the fuel
injector return fuel hose to the banjo bolt fitting in
the left rear corner of the cover. Failure to do so
may pinch or damage the hose causing fuel leakage
or a driveability concern.
(5) Connect negative battery cable.
FUEL PRESSURE SOLENOID
DESCRIPTION
The fuel pressure solenoid is attached to the rear
of the fuel rail. A sealing metal disc seals the valve to
the rail. The seal is not serviceable and looses it's
sealing properties upon removal of the solenoid.
Therefore, the solenoid must be replaced when ever
it is removed from the rail. The solenoid controls and
maintains the rail pressure constant along with a
control current transmitted by the engine control
module (ECM) (Fig. 15).
OPERATION
High pressure which is present in the fuel rail
flows to the ball seat of the pressure solenoid (Fig.
16). The specified pressure required by the system is
built up in the rail by the fuel pressure solenoid
building up a magnetic force which corresponds to
this specific pressure by means of a control current
from the electronic control module (ECM) (Fig. 16).
This magnetic force equals a certain outlet cross sec-
tion at the ball seat of the valve. The rail pressure is
altered as a result of the quantity of fuel which flows
off (Fig. 16). The current fuel pressure is signaled by
the fuel rail pressure sensor to the engine control
module (ECM). The controlled fuel flows back along
the return fuel line, into the tank.
In a de-energized state, the fuel pressure solenoid
is closed as the spring force presses the ball into the
ball seat (Fig. 16). When driving, the fuel pressure
solenoid is constantly open (Fig. 16). When engine is
started, the fuel pressure solenoid is held closed by
magnetic force (Fig. 16). When driving, the pressure
of the fluid counteracts the magnetic force of the coil
and the slight spring force (Fig. 16).

²Tighten the nut to 60 N´m (44 ft. lbs.)
²Loosen the nut 90 degrees.
²Retighten the nut to 80 N´m (59 ft. lbs.).
(3) Install fuel rail (Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM/
FUEL INJECTION/FUEL INJECTOR - INSTALLA-
TION).
(4) Connect negative battery cable.
(5) Start engine, allow to warm, turn engine off
and inspect for leaks (Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
FUEL TEMPERATURE SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The fuel temperature sensor is integrated in the
high pressure fuel pump next to the fuel quantity
valve. The sensor detects the temperature of the fuel
and supplies that information to the ECM. The sen-
sor ranges from - 40ÉF (- 40C) to 284ÉF (140ÉC). If
the engine is cold, the actual value sent will read
ambient temperature. The value rises after the
engine has been started.
OPERATION
An negative temperature coefficient (NTC) resistor
integrated in the fuel temperature sensor alters it's
electrical resistance in line with the fuel temperature
(the resistance drops as the temperature rises). The
ECM uses this reading to calculate optimum engine
performance under all driving conditions. If the fuel
is to warm, the rail pressure in the system is low-
ered. The controller quantity of the pressure regulat-
ing valve is reduced and the fuel temperature is
lowered.
REMOVAL
NOTE: Capture and properly store all fluid seepage
in appropriately marked containers.
(1) Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(2) Remove the fuel temperature sensor from the
high pressure pump (Fig. 19).
INSTALLATION
(1) Clean sealing surfaces.
(2) Install new seal on sensor.
(3) Screw the sensor into the high pressure pump
and tighten to 18 lbs.ft. (25 N´m) (Fig. 19)
(4) Connect negative battery cable.
(5) Start engine, allow to warm, shut engine off
and inspect for leaks (Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM/
FUEL INJECTION - WARNING).
INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The intake air temperature sensor is located
between the charge air pipe and the charge air dis-
tribution of the cylinders. The intake air temperature
sensor measures the temperature of the air as it is
supplied to the cylinders and transmits the value to
the ECM. This is required in order to determine the
density of the air being supplied for the combustion
process. The value range is from minus 40ÉF up to
302ÉF (minus 40ÉC to 150ÉC).

STEERING
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION: Use approved fluid only in the power
steering system (Refer to LUBRICATION & MAINTE-
NANCE/FLUID TYPES - DESCRIPTION). No other
power steering or automatic transmission fluid is to
be used in the system. Damage may result to the
power steering pump and system if any other fluid
is used, and do not overfill.
Power steering systems consist of:
²Steering column
²Rack and pinion steering gear
²Belt driven hydraulic steering pump
²Pump pressure and return hoses
²Oil Cooler
OPERATION
The steering column shaft is attached to the gear
pinion. The rotation of the pinion moves the gear
rack from side-to-side. This lateral action of the rack
pushes and pulls the tie rods to change the direction
of the front wheels (Fig. 1).
Power assist is provided by an engine mounted
hydraulic pump which supplies hydraulic fluid pres-
sure to the steering gear.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER STEERING
SYSTEM
There is some noise in all power steering systems.
One of the most common is a hissing sound evident at
a standstill parking. Or when the steering wheel is at
the end of it's travel. Hiss is a high frequency noise
similar to that of a water tap being closed slowly. The
noise is present in all valves that have a high velocity
fluid passing through an orifice. There is no relation-
ship between this noise and steering performance.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION NAG1 - SERVICE INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION
The NAG1 automatic transmission (Fig. 1) is an
electronically controlled 5-speed transmission with a
lock-up clutch in the torque converter. The ratios for
the gear stages are obtained by 3 planetary gear sets.
Fifth gear is designed as an overdrive with a high-
speed ratio.
NAG1 identifies a family of transmissions and
means ªNºew ªAºutomatic ªGºearbox, generation 1.
Various marketing names are associated with the
NAG1 family of transmissions, depending on the
transmisson variation being used in a specific vehi-
cle. Some examples of the marketing names are:
W5A300, W5A380, and W5A580. The marketing
name can be interpreted as follows:
²W = A transmission using a hydraulic torque
converter.
²5 = 5 forward gears.
²A = Automatic Transmission.²580 = Maximum input torque capacity in New-
ton meters.
The gears are actuated electronically/hydraulically.
The gears are shifted by means of an appropriate
combination of three multi-disc holding clutches,
three multi-disc driving clutches, and two freewheel-
ing clutches.
Electronic transmission control enables precise
adaptation of pressures to the respective operating
conditions and to the engine output during the shift
phase which results in a significant improvement in
shift quality.
Furthermore, it offers the advantage of a flexible
adaptation to various vehicle and engines.
Basically, the automatic transmission with elec-
tronic control offers the following advantages:
²Reduces fuel consumption.
²Improved shift comfort.
²More favourable step-up through the five gears.

²Increased service life and reliability.
²Lower maintenance costs.
TRANSMISSION IDENTIFICATION
The transmission can be generically identified
visually by the presence of a round 13-way connector
located near the front corner of the transmission oil
pan, on the right side. Specific transmission informa-
tion can be found stamped into a pad on the left side
of the transmission, above the oil pan rail.
TRANSMISSION GEAR RATIOS
The gear ratios for the NAG1 automatic transmis-
sion are as follows:
1st Gear............................3.59:1
2nd Gear............................2.19:1
3rd Gear............................1.41:1
4th Gear............................1.00:1
5th Gear............................0.83:1
Reverse.............................3.16:1
TRANSMISSION HOUSING
The converter housing and transmission are made
from a light alloy. These are bolted together and cen-
tered via the outer multi-disc carrier of multi-disc
holding clutch, B1. A coated intermediate plate pro-
vides the sealing. The oil pump and the outer multi-
disc carrier of the multi-disc holding clutch, B1, are
bolted to the converter housing. The stator shaft is
pressed into it and prevented from rotating by
splines. The electrohydraulic unit is bolted to the
transmission housing from underneath. A sheet
metal steel oil pan forms the closure.
MECHANICAL SECTION
The mechanical section consists of a input shaft,
output shaft, a sun gear shaft, and three planetary
gear sets which are coupled to each other. The plan-
etary gear sets each have four planetary pinion
gears. The oil pressure for the torque converter
lock-up clutch and clutch K2 is supplied through
bores in the input shaft. The oil pressure to clutch
K3 is transmitted through the output shaft. The
lubricating oil is distributed through additional bores
in both shafts. All the bearing points of the gear sets,
as well as the freewheeling clutches and actuators,
are supplied with lubricating oil. The parking lock
gear is connected to the output shaft via splines.
Freewheeling clutches F1 and F2 are used to opti-
mize the shifts. The front freewheel, F1, is supported
on the extension of the stator shaft on the transmis-
sion side and, in the locking direction, connects the
sun gear of the front planetary gear set to the trans-
mission housing. In the locking direction, the rear
freewheeling clutch, F2, connects the sun gear of the
center planetary gear set to the sun gear of the rear
planetary gear set.
ELECTROHYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT
The electrohydraulic control unit comprises the
shift plate made from light alloy for the hydraulic
control and an electrical control unit. The electrical
control unit comprises of a supporting body made of
plastic, into which the electrical components are
assembled. The supporting body is mounted on the
shift plate and screwed to it.
Strip conductors inserted into the supporting body
make the connection between the electrical compo-
nents and a plug connector. The connection to the
wiring harness on the vehicle and the transmission
control module (TCM) is produced via this 13-pin
plug connector with a bayonet lock.
SHIFT GROUPS
The hydraulic control components (including actua-
tors) which are responsible for the pressure distribu-
tion before, during, and after a gear change are
described as a shift group. Each shift group contains
a command valve, a holding pressure shift valve, a
shift pressure shift valve, overlap regulating valve,
and a solenoid.
The hydraulic system contains three shift groups:
1-2/4-5, 2-3, and 3-4. Each shift group can also be
described as being in one of two possible states. The
active shift group is described as being in the shift
phase when it is actively engaging/disengaging a
clutch combination. The 1-2/4-5 shift group control
the B1 and K1 clutches. The 2-3 shift group controls
the K2 and K3 clutches. The 3-4 shift group controls
the K3 and B2 clutches.
OPERATION
The transmission control is divided into the elec-
tronic and hydraulic transmission control functions.
While the electronic transmission control is responsi-
ble for gear selection and for matching the pressures
to the torque to be transmitted, the transmission's
power supply control occurs via hydraulic elements
in the electrohydraulic control module. The oil supply
to the hydraulic elements, such as the hydrodynamic
torque converter, the shift elements and the hydrau-
lic transmission control, is provided by way of an oil
pump connected with the torque converter.
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) allows for
the precise adaptation of pressures to the correspond-
ing operating conditions and to the engine output
during the gearshift phase, resulting in a noticeable
improvement in shift quality. The engine speed limit
can be reached in the individual gears at full throttle
and kickdown. The shift range can be changed in the
forward gears while driving, but the TCM employs a
downshift safeguard to prevent over-revving the
engine. The system offers the additional advantage of

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
CAUTION: Before attempting any repair on a NAG1
automatic transmission, check for Diagnostic Trou-
ble Codes with the appropriate scan tool.
Transmission malfunctions may be caused by these
general conditions:
²Poor engine performance.
²Improper adjustments.
²Hydraulic malfunctions.
²Mechanical malfunctions.
²Electronic malfunctions.
²Transfer case performance (if equipped).
Diagnosis of these problems should always begin
by checking the easily accessible variables: fluid level
and condition, gearshift cable adjustment. Then per-
form a road test to determine if the problem has been
corrected or if more diagnosis is necessary.
PRELIMINARY
Two basic procedures are required. One procedure
for vehicles that are drivable and an alternate proce-
dure for disabled vehicles (will not back up or move
forward).
VEHICLE IS DRIVABLE
(1) Check for transmission fault codes using the
appropriate scan tool.
(2) Check fluid level and condition.
(3) Adjust gearshift cable if complaint was based
on delayed, erratic, or harsh shifts.
(4) Road test and note how transmission upshifts,
downshifts, and engages.
VEHICLE IS DISABLED
(1) Check fluid level and condition.(2) Check for broken or disconnected gearshift
cable.
(3) Check for cracked, leaking cooler lines, or loose
or missing pressure-port plugs.
(4) Raise and support vehicle on safety stands,
start engine, shift transmission into gear, and note
following:
(a) If propeller shaft turns but wheels do not,
problem is with differential or axle shafts.
(b) If propeller shaft does not turn and transmis-
sion is noisy, stop engine. Remove oil pan, and
check for debris. If pan is clear, remove transmis-
sion and check for damaged driveplate, converter,
oil pump, or input shaft.
(c) If propeller shaft does not turn and transmis-
sion is not noisy, perform hydraulic-pressure test to
determine if problem is hydraulic or mechanical.
ROAD TESTING
Before road testing, be sure the fluid level and con-
trol cable adjustments have been checked and
adjusted if necessary. Verify that all diagnostic trou-
ble codes have been resolved.
Observe engine performance during the road test.
A poorly tuned engine will not allow accurate analy-
sis of transmission operation.
Operate the transmission in all gear ranges. Check
for shift variations and engine flare which indicates
slippage. Note if shifts are harsh, spongy, delayed,
early, or if part throttle downshifts are sensitive.
Slippage indicated by engine flare, usually means
clutch, overrunning clutch, or line pressure problems.
A slipping clutch can often be determined by com-
paring which internal units are applied in the vari-
ous gear ranges. The Clutch Application chart

ing road test results.
