5A-80 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
6. Switch off the engine and raise the vehicle on the hoist, if applicable, ensuring that the vehicle is level.
7. Three minutes after the engine has stopped, but no longer than one hour, remove the filler pump, The correct
level is reached when ATF is aligned with the bottom of the filler hole. If the correct level is not reached, then add
a small quantity of ATF to the correct level.
8. Replace the transmission filler plug and clean all remnants of ATF on the transmission and vehicle.
9. Tighten the transmission filler plug to specification.
Checking, Adding Fluid and Filling - Drained or Dry Transmission
To set the correct fluid level proceed as follows.
1. Set the transmission selector to Park and switch the engine off.
2. Raise the vehicle on a hoist (or leave over a service pit).
3. Clean all dirt from around the service fill plug prior to removing the plug, Remove the oil service fill plug. Clean the
fill plug and check that there is no damage to the ‘O’ ring. Install the filler pump into the filler hole.
4. Lower the vehicle with the filler pump still connected and partially fill the transmission. This typically requires
approximately :
a. If the transmission torque converter is empty:
9.0 litres - 4WD
9.0 litres - RWD
b. If the transmission torque converter is full:
4.5 litres - 4WD
4.5 litres - RWD
5. Start the vehicle in Park with the Parking brake and foot brake applied with the engine idling, cycle the transmission
gear selector through all positions, adding ATF until gear application is felt.
6. Then add an additional 0.5 litres of ATF.
7. Switch off the engine and raise the vehicle on the hoist. Remove the filler pump and replace the filler plug. The
plug shall be tightened to specification.
8. The vehicle is then to be driven between 3.5 and 4.5 kilometers at light throttle so that the engine does not
exceed 2500 rpm. This should result in the transmission temperature being in the range 50 to 60°C.
9. With the engine idling, cycle the transmission selector through all gear positions with the brake applied.
10. Stop the engine. Raise the vehicle on the hoist, if applicable ensuring the vehicle is level.
11. Three minutes after the engine has stopped, but no longer than one hour, remove the filler plug. The correct
level is reached when ATF is aligned with the bottom of the filler hole. If the correct level is not reached, then add
a small quantity of ATP to the correct level.
12. Replace the transmission filler plug and clean all remnants of ATF on the transmission and vehicle. Tighten the
transmission Filler plug to specification.
ELECTRONIC ADJUSTMENTS
Idle Speed Adjustment
Carry out the adjustments to the idle speed as detailed in the workshop manual.
Throttle Position Calibration
Should the throttle position data stored in the TCU be lost or be out of specification, as indicated by a diagnostic
trouble message, it may be re-established by the following procedure.
lCheck that the hot engine idle speed is within specification.
lAllow the engine to idle in ‘Drive’ for 60 seconds with the air conditioner (if fitted) turned off. The closed throttle
reference point in the TCU has now been set.
Switch the engine off but leave the ignition on. Hold the accelerator pedal on the floor for 60 seconds. The wide open
throttle reference point in the TCU has now been set.

automated throttle clearing procedure:
1. Switch ignition ‘ON’ with handbrake applied and engine ‘OFF’.
2. Select ‘M1’ and ‘WINTER’ mode.
3. Move the T-bar to ‘M2’ and then select ‘NORMAL’ or ‘POWER’ mode.
4. Move the T-bar to ‘M3’ and then select ‘WINTER’ mode.

UNIT REPAIR
REBUILD WARNINGS
Prior to rebuilding a transmission system, the following warnings
are to be noted.
lEnsure that, before replacing a transmission the cooler
lines are flushed out to remove any debris. This can be
done by applying compressed air to the rear cooler line
forcing oil and any contaminants out of the front cooler
line.
lThe cooler flow should be checked after the transmission
has been fitted. With the front cooler line connected
and the rear line run into a suitable container, measure
the flow over 15 seconds with the vehicle idling in park.
lThe flow rate should exceed 1 liter in 15 seconds.
lBe wary of any situation where water enters the
transmission. This may result in fluid foaming and leaking
through the breather.
lEnsure that both earth straps (one at the batted terminal
and one on the vehicle body) are connected in the
vehicle before connecting the positive side of the
battery.
lFollow the throttle position calibration procedure in
section 7 of this manual if the powertrain control module
transmission control unit (PCM/TCU) is swapped.
DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
Transmission
Notice
Remove the inhibitor switch before washing the transmission
in solvent or hot wash.
It is assumed that the transmission fluid has been drained
when the transmission was removed from the
vehicle and that the ‘special tools’ quoted are available.
The transmission is dismantled in a modular fashion, and the
details of disassembly for each module are given under the
appropriate subject. Refer to table 9.10 in section 9.6 for details
of all special tools required when performing disassembly
procedures.
Technicians overhauling these transmissions will also require
a selection of good quality Torx bit sockets, in particular
numbers 30, 40 and 50, and an 8 mm,10 mm and 12 mm
double hex socket.
To disassemble the transmission, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the converter and the converter housing.
2. Mount the transmission on the bench cradle
