Dye and Black Light Method
1. Add dye to the transmission through the transmission
fluid filler plug. Follow the manufacturer’s recommen-
dation for the amount of dye to be used.
2. Use the black light to find the fluid leak.
3. Make the necessary repairs.
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:
Fasteners are not torqued to specification.
Fastener threads and fastener holes are dirty or
corroded.
Gaskets, seals or sleeves are misaligned, damaged
or worn.
Damaged, warped or scratched seal bore or gasket
surface.
Loose or worn bearing causing excess seal or sleeve
wear.
Case or component porosity.
Fluid level is too high.
Plugged vent or damaged vent tube.
Water or coolant in fluid.
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 are
connected and operating. If the inputs are not checked
before operating the transmission, a simple electrical
condition could be misdiagnosed as a major
transmission condition.
A scan tool provides valuable information and must
be used on the automatic transmission for accurate
diagnosis.
1. Move gear shift control lever 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:

The A/C COMPRESSOR STATUS should come
ON when the A/C switch is pressed, and turn
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.
Verify that the GEAR SHIFT LEVER POSITION
value matches the gear range indicated on the
instrument panel or console.
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.
THROTTLE POSITION should increase with en-
gine speed.
ROAD TEST PROCEDURE
Perform the road test using a scan tool.
This test should be performed when traffic and road
conditions permit.
Observe all traffic regulations.
ELECTRONIC ADJUSTMENTS
Idle Speed Adjustments
Carry out the adjustments to the idle speed as detailed
in the workshop manual.

5A-74 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
SSANGYONG MY2002
Circuit Description
The battery voltage monitoring input is connected to
the positive side of the battery. This signal is taken
from the main supply to the TCM.
If the battery voltage at the TCM falls below the thresh-
old value, DTC P1708 will be set and the transmission
will adopt a low voltage mode of operating in which
shifts into first gear are inhibited. All other shifts are
attempted but may not occur because of the reduced
voltage. This condition normally occurs only when the
battery is in poor condition.
When system voltage recovers, the TCM will resume
normal operation after a 30 seconds delay period.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The engine speed is greater than 550 RPM.
A driving gear is selected or one of DTCs P0706,
P0707 and P0708 is set.
The indicated supply voltage falls below a linear
temperature characteristic threshold or below that
required to operate the CPU. If the TCM measures
the supply voltage at less than that required for it
to be operating, the DTC sets immediately.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
1st gear is inhibited.
S6 is inhibited.
S5 standby current is zero.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P1708
TCM SUPPLY VOLTAGE LOW
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The DTC will clear when the malfunction has not
occurred for 30 seconds.
A history DTC will clear after 40 TCM power-up
cycles with a warm transmission (>50 °C) and
without a fault.
History DTCs can be cleared by using a scan tool.
Diagnostic Aids
The minimum operating voltage depends on the
transmission temperature but is typically between
8 - 9 V for a warm transmission.
If the DTC sets when an accessory is operated,
check for a poor connection.
Look for possible bent, backed out, deformed or
damaged terminals. Check for weak terminal tension
as well. Also, check for chafed wires that could short
to bare metal or other wiring. Inspect for broken
wires inside the insulation.
If diagnosing for a possible intermittent short or
open condition, move or massage the wiring harness
while observing test equipment for a change.
Test Description
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on
the Diagnostic Table.
4. Check if the generator is malfunctioning under load
condition.
8. Check the ignition feed circuit for excessive resist-
ance.

5A-102 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
SSANGYONG MY2002
Circuit Description
The solenoid 1 is used to control fluid flow acting on
the 1 - 2 shift valve. The solenoid 1 is a normally open
ON/ OFF type solenoid that is used in conjunction with
the solenoid 2 to allow four different shifting
combinations. Refer to Solenoid Logic for Static Gear
States. The solenoid is attached to the valve body
within the transmission. Voltage is supplied directly
to the solenoid through the Transmission Control
Module (TCM).
The DTC P1733 sets when the Solenoid 1 (S1) circuit
is open or the switched leg of the solenoid 1 is shorted
to battery positive.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTCs P1717 and P1718 are not set.
S1 is OFF.
S2 is OFF.
The solenoid 1’s driver Integrated Chip (IC) status
indicates a faulty circuit. This condition must be
continuously present for 60 milliseconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The solenoid 1 is always OFF.
TCM adopts a Limp Home Mode (LHM) operation.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P1733
SOLENOID 1 CIRCUIT OPEN
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The DTC will clear when the malfunction has not
occurred after ignition cycle.
A history DTC will clear after 40 TCM power-up
cycles with a warm transmission (>50 °C) and
without a fault.
History DTCs can be cleared by using a scan tool.
Diagnostic Aids
During the TCM’s testing, solenoid 1 is turned OFF/
ON by a very small (4 millisecond) pulse. This pulse
is too short for the solenoid to react so the
transmission operation is not affected.
The solenoid feedback voltage is measured before
the (4 millisecond) pulse and again during the
pulse. If the difference is outside the acceptable
limits the relevant fault is recorded.
Typical causes would be an open circuit in the
wiring to or within the solenoid, or a short circuit to
power in the wiring to or within the solenoid.
If several faults of solenoids are present, check the
wiring or connectors that are common to the selected
solenoids, especially the earth connections.
