INTRODUCTION
ZF 4HP 16 AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
The ZF 4 HP 16 is a four–speed automatic transaxle de-
signed for cars with front–wheel drive and a transversely
mounted engine.
The transaxle has a hydrodynamic torque converter with
a controlled slip lock–up clutch.
A planetary gear train establishes the mechanical gear ra-
tios. The integral constant ratio can be adapted to the en-
gine’s power output and the vehicle’s weight. The elec-
tronic–hydraulic control makes controlled power shifts and
various shift programs possible. In selector lever position
”P”, the output is locked mechanically.The special feature of this transaxle is that it operates with-
out freewheels. Shifting between individual gears takes
place by means of overlapping clutch engagement and re-
lease.
The advantage of overlap shifting is as follows:
– The transaxle can be of more compact design
and is lighter on account of the absence of free-
wheels and the lower number of shift elements
– Lower drag losses, i.e. higher efficiency
– Lower peak torques acting on the components
and driveline.
However, overlap shifting necessitates high–performance
hardware and software, and precision engine signals.

sible, drive the vehicle for a few kilometers (N–D,
N–R, shift until two gear). This will allow the trans-
axle to be within the correct temperature range.
Transaxle fluid level should be checked at tempera-
ture 20 to 45°C (68 to 113°F).
CAUTION : Removal of the fluid filler plug when the
transaxle fluid is hot may cause injury if fluid drains
from the filler hole.
2. Switch off accessories, especially air conditioner,
heater.
3. With the brake pedal pressed, move the gear shift
control lever through the gear ranges, pausing a
few seconds in each range. Return the gearshift
lever to P(Park). Turn the engine OFF.
4. Park the vehicle on a hoist, inspection pit or similar
raised level surface. The vehicle must be level to
obtain a correct fluid level measurement.
5. Place a fluid container below the fluid filler plug.
6. Clean all dirt from around the fluid filler plug.
Remove the fluid filler plug. Clean the filler plug and
check that there is no damage to the ”O” ring.
S If fluid drains through the filler hole the transaxle
may have been overfilled. When the fluid stops
draining the fluid level is correct. Install the fluid
filler plug and tighten it to 45NSm(34 lb–ft).
S If fluid does not drain through the filler hole, the
transaxle fluid level may be low. Lower the ve-
hicle, and start the vehicle in P(Park) with the
parking brake and the brake applied. With the
engine idling, move the gear shift lever through
the gear ranges, pausing a few seconds in each
range and adding the fluid until gear application
is felt. Return the gear shift lever to P(Park).
Turn the engine OFF and raise the vehicle.
Check if the fluid level is aligned with the bottom
of the filler hole. If not, add a small quantity of
fluid to the correct level. Install the fluid filler
plug and tighten it to 45NSm(34 lb–ft).
7. When the fluid level checking procedure is com-
pleted, wipe any fluid around the filler plug with a
rag or shop towel.
Fluid Level Set After Service
1. Depending on the service procedure performed,
add the following amounts of fluid through the filler
plug hole prior to adjusting the fluid level:
Oil pan removal – 4 liters (4.23 quarts)
Converter removal – 2 liters ( 2.11 quarts)
Overhaul – 6.9liters (7.3 quarts)
Oil drain plug removal – 4 liters (4.23 quarts)
2. Follow steps 1 through 4 of the Fluid Level Diagno-
sis Procedure.
3. Clean all dirt from around the fluid filler plug.
Remove the fluid filler plug. Clean the filler plug and
check that there is no damage to the ”O” ring.
4. Lower the vehicle with the filler plug still removed
and start the vehicle in P(Park) with the parking
brake and the brake applied. With the engine idling,move the gear shift lever through the gear ranges,
pausing a few seconds in each range and adding
the fluid until gear application is felt. Then add an
additional 0.5 liters of fluid. Return the gear shift
lever to P(Park). Turn the engine OFF and raise the
vehicle. Install the fluid filler plug and tighten it to
45NSm (34 lb–ft).
5. Drive the vehicle at 2.2 miles(3.5km) to 2.8
miles(4.5 km) with light throttle so that the engine
does not exceed 2500 rpm. This should result in
the transaxle temperature being in the range 20 to
45°C (68 to 11°F). With the brake applied, move
the shift lever through the gear ranges, pausing a
few seconds in each range at the engine idling.
6. Return the gear shift lever to P(Park). Turn the en-
gine OFF and raise the vehicle on the hoist, if appli-
cable, ensuring the vehicle is level. When the three
minutes passed after the engine stopped, remove
the filler plug. Check if the fluid level is aligned with
the bottom of the filler hole. If not, add a small
quantity of fluid to the correct level. Install the fluid
filler plug and tighten it to 45NSm (34 lb–ft).
7. Wipe any fluid around the filler plug with a rag or
shop towel.
Fluid Leak Diagnosis and Repair
The cause of most external leaks can generally be Lo-
cated and repaired with the transaxle in the vehicle.
Methods for Locating Leaks
General Method
1. Verify that the leak is transaxle fluid.
2. Thoroughly clean the suspected leak area.
3. Drive the vehicle for approximately 25 km (15
miles) or until the transaxle reaches normal operat-
ing temperature (88°C, 190°F).
4. Park the vehicle over clean paper or cardboard.
5. Turn the engine OFF and look for fluid spots on the
paper.
6. Make the necessary repairs to correct the leak.
Powder Method
1. Thoroughly clean the suspected leak area.
2. Apply an aerosol type powder (foot powder) to the
suspected leak area.
3. Drive the vehicle for approximately 25 km (15
miles) or until the transaxle reaches normal operat-
ing temperature (88°C, 190°F).
4. Turn the engine OFF.
5. Inspect the suspected leak area and trace the leak
path through the powder to find the source of the
leak.
6. Make the necessary repairs.
Dye and Black Light Method
1. Add dye to the transaxle though the transaxle fluid
filler plug. Follow the manufacturer’s recommenda-
tion 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:
S Fasteners are not torqued to specification.
S Fastener threads and fastener holes are dirty or
corroded.
S Gaskets, seals or sleeves are misarranged, dam-
aged or worn.
S Damaged, warped or scratched seal bore or gasket
surface.
S Loose or worn bearing causing excess seal or
sleeve wears.
S Case or component porosity.
S Fluid level is too high.
S Plugged vent or damaged vent tube.
S Water or coolant in fluid.
S 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 is con-
nected and operating. If the inputs are not checked before
operating the transaxle, a simple electrical condition could
be misdiagnosed as a major transaxle condition.
A scan tool provides valuable information and must be
used on the automatic transaxle for accurate diagnosis.
1. Move gear selector 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:
S ENGINE SPEED
S VEHICLE SPEED
S THROTTLE POSITION
S TRANSAXLE GEAR STATE
S GEAR SHIFT LEVER POSITION
S TRANSAXLE FLUID TEMPERATURE
S CLOSED THROTTLE POSITION LEARN
S OPEN THROTTLE POSITION LEARNT
S CLOSED ACCEL. PEDAL POSITION LEARNT
S OPEN ACCEL. PEDAL POSITION LEARNT
S A/C COMPRESSOR STATUS
S MODE SWITCH
S THROTTLE POSITION VOLTAGE
S GEAR SHIFT LEVER POSITION VOLTAGE
S TRANS. FLUID TEMPERATURE VOLTAGE
S A/C SWITCH
S MODE SWITCH VOLTAGE
S BATTERY VOLTAGE
6. Monitor the A/C COMPRESSOR STATUS signal
while pushing the A/C switch.S The A/C COMPRESSOR STATUS should come
ON when the A/C switch is pressed, and turns
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.
S Verify that the GEAR SHIFT LEVER POSITION
value matches the gear range indicated on the
instrument panel or console.
S 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.
S THROTTLE POSITION should increase with
engine speed.
ROAD TEST PROCEDURE
S Perform the road test using a scan tool.
S This test should be performed when traffic and road
conditions permit.
S Observe all traffic regulations.
The TCM calculates upshift points based primarily on two
inputs : throttle angle and vehicle speed. When the TCM
wants a shift to occur, an electrical signal is sent to the shift
solenoids which in turn moves the valves to perform the
upshift.
The shift speed charts reference throttle angle instead of
”min throttle” or ”wot” to make shift speed measurement
more uniform and accurate. A scan tool should be used to
monitor throttle angle. Some scan tools have been pro-
grammed to record shift point information. Check the
introduction manual to see if this test is available.
Upshift Procedure
With gear selector in drive(D)
1. Look at the shift speed chart contained in this sec-
tion and choose a percent throttle angle of 10 or
25%.
2. Set up the scan tool to monitor throttle angle and
vehicle speed.
3. Accelerate to the chosen throttle angle and hold the
throttle steady.
4. As the transaxle upshifts, note the shift speed and
commanded gear changes for :
S Second gear.
S Third gear.
S Fourth gear.
Important : Shift speeds may vary due to slight hydraulic
delays responding to electronic controls. A change from
the original equipment tire size affects shift speeds.
Note when TCC applies. This should occur in fourth gear.
If the apply is not noticed by an rpm drop, refer to the
”Lock–up Clutch Diagnosis” information contained in this
section.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE(DTC) P0705
TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR CIRCUIT
MALFUNCTION (PRNDL INPUT)
Circuit Description
The Transmission range switch is located on the selector
shaft and informs the TCM of the current selector lever
position P–R–N–D–3–2–1.
The selector lever position is transmitted to the TCM in en-
coded form along 4 lines. The encoding is such that mal-
functions in the connecting lead are identified.
The TR switch is located on the selector shaft, which is
connected to the selector lever via a pull cable. In addition,
the TR switch controls the starter interlock, the reverse
lights and the selector lever position indicator on the in-
strument panel.
Conditions for Setting The DTC
S TR switch stuck to closed.
S TR switch wiring harness shortage to ground.
S TR switch wiring harness shortage to power.
S Immediately after the above condition occurs.Action Taken When The DTC Sets
S The Malfunction Indicator Lamp(MIL) will illuminate.
S The TCM will record operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. This information will be
stored in the Failure Records buffer.
S Adopt Emergency/ Substitute mode and constant
4th gear.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
S The MIL will turn OFF when the malfunction has
not occurred after three–ignition cycles.
S A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm
up cycles without a fault.
S Using a scan tool can clear history DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids

OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR(OSS) CIRCUIT NO SIGNAL
Circuit Description
The vehicle A/T OSS is a magnetic inductive pickup that
relays information relative to vehicle speed to the TCM.
Vehicle speed information is used by the TCM to control
shift timing, line pressure, and TCC apply and release.
The output speed sensor mounts in the case at the speed
sensor rotor, which is pressed onto the spur gear. An air
gap of 0.1mm~1.3mm(0.004~0.05in) is maintained be-
tween the sensor and the teeth on the spur gear teeth. The
sensor consists of a permanent magnet surrounded by a
coil of wire. As the differential rotates, an AC signal in-
duces a higher frequency and voltage measurement at the
sensor. Sensor resistance should measure
at 20°C
(68°F). Sensor can measure from 20HZ~8,000HZ.
Conditions for Setting The DTC
S If the gear shift is not in progress and the selector
lever position is ”1”, ”2”, ”3”, ”D”, or ”Z3” and the
transaxle output speed is less than the limit value of
transaxle output speed for plausibility check of
transaxle output speed and the turbine speed is
greater than the limit value of turbine speed for
plausibility check of transaxle output speed then the
error bit will be set.S System voltage is greater than 7 volts.
S Engine is running.
S No input speed error DTCs P0715, P0716, and
P0717.
S No transmission range sensor error DTC P0705.
S TCM or ECM is defective.
S Immediately after the above condition occurs.
Action Taken When The DTC Sets
S The Malfunction Indicator Lamp(MIL) will illuminate.
S The TCM will record operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. This information will be
stored in the Failure Records buffer.
S Vehicle running remains actual gear.
S Open lock up clutch.
Conditions for Clearing The MIL/DTC
S The MIL will turn OFF when the malfunction has
not occurred after three–ignition cycles.
S A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm
up cycles without a fault.
S Using a scan tool can clear history DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
S When DTC P0722 sets, the possible cause of fault
could be OSS(Output speed sensor).
