TRAILER TOW
TRAILER TOW
The factory installed trailer tow system in this ve-
hicle uses three relays and a circuit breaker along
with the trailer tow wiring connector located below
the rear bumper.
Battery voltage for the trailer tow circuit breaker
and relays is supplied on circuit A11. This circuit is
HOT at all times and connects to the power accessory
tap in the fuse block. An in line 10 amp circuit pro-
tected breaker protects circuit A11 and the trailer
tow circuits. The trailer tow circuit breaker is located
in the left rear quarter panel.
STOP LAMP RELAY
Power for the coil side of the stop lamp relay is
supplied by circuit L50. This circuit connects to the
stop lamps. Ground for the coil side is supplied on
circuit Z1.
When the operator depresses the brake pedal, volt-
age flows through the coil of the relay to ground
causing the contacts in the relay to close connecting
circuits A11 and 95.
Circuit 95 connects to the left and right turn signal
relays. Voltage flows through the closed contacts in
the relays to the trailer tow connector.
RIGHT TURN RELAY
Power for the coil side of the right turn relay is
supplied by circuit L60. This circuit connects to the
right side turn signal lamps. Ground for the coil side
of the relay is supplied on circuit Z1.
When the operator turns the right turn signal ON,
power flows through the coil in the relay to ground
causing the contacts in the relay to switch from there
normally CLOSED position to connect circuits 94 and
L60.
Circuit 94 is the feed for the contact side of the re-
lay. Circuit L60 connects from the relay to the trailer
tow connector.
Circuit 94 is fed power through the normally
CLOSED side of the stop lamp relay and circuit A11.
The A11 circuit is HOT at all times and protected by
a 10 amp circuit breaker located in the left rear
quarter panel.
LEFT TURN RELAY
Power for the coil side of the left turn relay is sup-
plied by circuit L61. This circuit connects to the left
side turn signal lamps. Ground for the coil side of the
relay is supplied on circuit Z1.
When the operator turns the left turn signal ON,
power flows through the coil in the relay to ground
causing the contacts in the relay to switch from there
normally CLOSED position to connect circuits 94 and
L61.
Circuit 94 is the feed for the contact side of the re-
lay. Circuit L61 connects from the relay to the trailer
tow connector.
Circuit 94 is fed power through the normally
CLOSED side of the stop lamp relay and circuit A11.
The A11 circuit is HOT at all times and protected by
a 10 amp circuit breaker located in the right rear
quarter panel.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Automatic transmission problems are generally a
result of:
²poor engine performance
²incorrect fluid level
²incorrect throttle valve cable adjustment
²incorrect band adjustment
²incorrect hydraulic control pressure adjustments
²hydraulic component malfunctions
²mechanical component malfunctions.
Begin diagnosis by checking the easily accessible
items such as fluid level, fluid condition and control
linkage adjustment. A road test will determine if fur-
ther diagnosis is necessary.
Procedures outlined in this section should be per-
formed in the following sequence to realize the most
accurate results:
²Preliminary diagnosis
²Check fluid level and condition
²Check control linkage Adjustment
²Road test
²Stall test
²Hydraulic pressure test
²Air pressure tests
²Leak test
²Analyze test results and consult diagnosis charts
PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSIS
Two basic procedures are required. One procedure
for vehicles that are driveable and an alternate pro-
cedure for disabled vehicles (will not back up or move
forward).
Vehicle Is Driveable
(1) Check fluid level and condition.
(2) Adjust throttle cable and gearshift linkage if
complaint was based on delayed, erratic, or harsh
shifts.
(3) Road test vehicle and note transmission operat-
ing characteristics.(4) Perform stall test if complaint is based on slug-
gish, low speed acceleration or abnormal throttle
opening needed to maintain normal speeds with
properly tuned engine.
(5) Perform hydraulic pressure tests.
(6) Perform air pressure test to check clutch-band
operation.
Vehicle Is Disabled
(1) Check fluid level and condition.
(2) Check for broken, disconnected throttle linkage.
(3) Check for cracked, leaking cooler lines, or loose,
missing pressure port plugs.
(4) Raise vehicle, start engine, shift transmission
into gear and note following:
(a) If propeller shafts turn but wheels do not,
problem is with differential or axle shafts.
(b) If propeller shafts do 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 drive plate, converter,
oil pump or input shaft.
(c) If propeller shafts do not turn and transmis-
sion is not noisy, perform hydraulic pressure test to
determine if problem is a hydraulic or mechanical.
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Transmission fluid level should be checked monthly
under normal operation. If the vehicle is used for
trailer towing or similar heavy load hauling, check
fluid level and condition weekly.
Fluid level is checked with the engine running at
curb idle speed, the transmission in Neutral and the
transmission fluid at normal operating temperature.
FLUID LEVEL CHECK PROCEDURE
(1) Transmission fluid must be at normal operating
temperature for accurate fluid level check. Drive ve-
hicle if necessary to bring fluid temperature up to
normal hot operating temperature of 82ÉC (180ÉF).
(2) Position vehicle on level surface. This is ex-
tremely important for accurate fluid level check.
(3) Start and run engine at curb idle speed.
