DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BOOST PRESSURE
Two pressure gauges attached at two different
points are required for this test.(1) Obtain two 6828 fuel pressure test gauges
(equivalent gauges are OK).Gauge Consistency
Test:Connect the gauges together to a common pres-
sure source and verify pressure consistency of both
gauges. Do this consistency test at approximately 206
kPa (30 psi). If pressures are different, they can still
be used for test. Note and record differences in pres-
sures before testing. Make adjustments as necessary.
(2) Remove 3/4º pipe plug fitting at rear of intake
manifold (Fig. 2). Temporarily replace this fitting
with fitting reducer to adapt to pressure gauge.
Note: This pipe plug is located to front of MAP
sensor. Do not remove plug to rear of MAP sen-
sor. This is a COOLANT passage plug.
(3) Loosen hose clamp and disconnect rubber sig-
nal line (Fig. 3) from 1/8º brass fitting at front of tur-
bocharger.
(4) Remove 1/8º brass fitting (Fig. 3) from turbo-
charger. Temporarily replace this fitting with a 1/8º
ªTº fitting to adapt to pressure gauge.
(5) Reattach signal line to temporary ªTº.
(6) Attach first pressure gauge to intake manifold
fitting.
(7) Attach second pressure gauge to ªTº fitting at
turbocharger.
Engine must be at rated RPM and full load for the
test.
If gauge pressure differential is greater than 3 psi
(6 in. Hg), check intercooler and associated piping for
restrictions, plugging or damage.
Maximum pressure at intake manifold (rated rpm
and load) is 36±37 in/hg   3 in/hg (17.7±18.2 psi  
1.5 psi).
Wastegate should open at no higher than 38.7
in/hg (19 psi) at wide open throttle, full load. If
wastegate is out of adjustment, a DTC may have
been set. Refer to Wastegate Adjustment in Engines
for adjustment procedures.

FLUID AND FILTER
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - EFFECTS OF
INCORRECT FLUID LEVEL
A low fluid level allows the pump to take in air
along with the fluid. Air in the fluid will cause fluid
pressures to be low and develop slower than normal.
If the transmission is overfilled, the gears churn the
fluid into foam. This aerates the fluid and causing
the same conditions occurring with a low level. In
either case, air bubbles cause fluid overheating, oxi-
dation and varnish buildup which interferes with
valve and clutch operation. Foaming also causes fluid
expansion which can result in fluid overflow from the
transmission vent or fill tube. Fluid overflow can eas-
ily be mistaken for a leak if inspection is not careful.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CAUSES OF
BURNT FLUID
Burnt, discolored fluid is a result of overheating
which has two primary causes.
(1) A result of restricted fluid flow through the
main and/or auxiliary cooler. This condition is usu-
ally the result of a faulty or improperly installed
drainback valve, a damaged main cooler, or severe
restrictions in the coolers and lines caused by debris
or kinked lines.
(2) Heavy duty operation with a vehicle not prop-
erly equipped for this type of operation. Trailer tow-
ing or similar high load operation will overheat the
transmission fluid if the vehicle is improperly
equipped. Such vehicles should have an auxiliary
transmission fluid cooler, a heavy duty cooling sys-
tem, and the engine/axle ratio combination needed to
handle heavy loads.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FLUID
CONTAMINATION
Transmission fluid contamination is generally a
result of:
²adding incorrect fluid
²failure to clean dipstick and fill tube when
checking level
²engine coolant entering the fluid
²internal failure that generates debris
²overheat that generates sludge (fluid break-
down)
²failure to reverse flush cooler and lines after
repair
²failure to replace contaminated converter after
repair
The use of non-recommended fluids can result in
transmission failure. The usual results are erratic
shifts, slippage, abnormal wear and eventual failure
due to fluid breakdown and sludge formation. Avoid
this condition by using recommended fluids only.
The dipstick cap and fill tube should be wiped
clean before checking fluid level. Dirt, grease and
other foreign material on the cap and tube could fall
into the tube if not removed beforehand. Take the
time to wipe the cap and tube clean before withdraw-
ing the dipstick.
Engine coolant in the transmission fluid is gener-
ally caused by a cooler malfunction. The only remedy
is to replace the radiator as the cooler in the radiator
is not a serviceable part. If coolant has circulated
through the transmission, an overhaul is necessary.
The transmission cooler and lines should be
reverse flushed whenever a malfunction generates
sludge and/or debris. The torque converter should
also be replaced at the same time.
Failure to flush the cooler and lines will result in
recontamination. Flushing applies to auxiliary coolers
as well. The torque converter should also be replaced
whenever a failure generates sludge and debris. This is
necessary because normal converter flushing procedures
will not remove all contaminants.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - FLUID LEVEL
CHECK
Low fluid level can cause a variety of conditions
because it allows the pump to take in air along with
the fluid. As in any hydraulic system, air bubbles
make the fluid spongy, therefore, pressures will be
low and build up slowly.
Improper filling can also raise the fluid level too
high. When the transmssion has too much fluid, the
geartrain churns up foam and cause the same condi-
tions which occur with a low fluid level.
