Functional Check Procedure
Inspect
1. Install a tachometer or scan tool.
2. Operate the vehicle unit proper operating tempera-
ture is reached.
3. Drive the vehicle at 80 to 88km/h (50 to 55 mph)
with light throttle(road load).
4. Maintaining throttle position, lightly touch the brake
pedal and check for release of the TCC and a slight
increase in engine speed(rpm).
5. Release the brake slowly accelerate and check for
a reapply of the Lock up clutch and a slight de-
crease in engine speed(rpm).
Torque Converter Evaluation
Torque Converter Stator
The torque converter stator roller clutch can have one of
two different type malfunctions :
A. Stator assembly freewheels in both directions.
B. Stator assembly remains Locked up at all times.
Condition A – Poor Acceleration Low
Speed
The car tends to have poor acceleration from a stand still.
At speeds above 50 to 55km/h(30 to 35mph), the car may
act normal. If poor acceleration is noted, it should first be
determined that the exhaust system is not blocked, and
the transaxle is in 1st(First) gear when starting out.
If the engine freely accelerates to high rpm in N(Neutral),
it can be assumed that the engine and exhaust system are
normal. Checking for poor performance in ”Drive” and ”Re-
verse” will help determine if the stator is freewheeling at all
times.
Condition B – Poor Acceleration High
Speed
Engine rpm and car speed limited or restricted at high
speeds. Performance when accelerating from a standstill
is normal. Engine may overheat. Visual examination of the
converter may reveal a blue color from overheating.
If the converter has been removed, the stator roller clutch
can be checked by inserting two fingers into the splined in-
ner race of the roller clutch and trying to turn freely clock-
wise, but not turn or be very difficult to turn counter clock-
wise.
Noise
Torque converter whine is usually noticed when the ve-
hicle is stopped and the transaxle is in ”Drive” or ”Re-
verse”. The noise will increase when engine rpm is in-
creased. The noise will stop when the vehicle is moving or
when the torque converter clutch is applied because both
halves of the converter are turning at the same speed.
Perform a stall test to make sure the noise is actually com-
ing from the converter :1. Place foot on brake.
2. Put gear selector in ”Drive”.
3. Depress accelerator to approximately 1200rpm for
no more than six seconds.
Notice : If the accelerator is depressed for more than six
seconds, damage to the transaxle may occur.
A torque converter noise will increase under this load.
Important : This noise should not be confused with pump
whine noise which is usually noticeable in P (Park), N
(Neutral) and all other gear ranges. Pump whine will vary
with pressure ranges.
The torque converter should be replaced under any of the
following conditions:
S External leaks in the hub weld area.
S Converter hub is scored or damaged.
S Converter pilot is broken, damaged or fits poorly
into crankshaft.
S Steel particles are found after flushing the cooler
and cooler lines.
S Pump is damaged or steel particles are found in the
converter.
S Vehicle has TCC shudder and/or no TCC apply.
Replace only after all hydraulic and electrical diag-
noses have been made.(Lock up clutch material
may be glazed.)
S Converter has an imbalance which cannot be cor–
rected. (Refer To Converter Vibration Test Proce-
dure.)
S Converter is contaminated with engine coolant con-
taining antifreeze.
S Internal failure of stator roller clutch.
S Excess end play.
S Heavy clutch debris due to overheating (blue con-
verter).
S Steel particles or clutch lining material found in fluid
filter or on magnet when no internal parts in unit are
worn or damaged(indicates that lining material
came from converter).
The torque converter should not be replace if :
S The oil has an odor, is discolored, and there is no
evidence of metal or clutch facing particles.
S The threads in one or more of the converter bolt
holes are damaged.
–correct with thread insert.
S Transaxle failure did not display evidence of dam-
age or worn internal parts, steel particles or clutch
plate lining material in unit and inside the fluid filter.
S Vehicle has been exposed to high mileage(only).
The exception may be where the Lock up clutch
damper plate lining has seen excess wear by ve-
hicles operated in heavy and/or constant traffic,
such as taxi, delivery or police use.
Lock–Up Clutch Shudder Diagnosis
The key to diagnosing lock–up clutch(TCC) shudder is to
note when it happens and under what conditions.
5A1 – 50IZF 4 HP 16 AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
TCC shudder should only occur during the APPLY and/or
RELEASE of the Lock up clutch.
While TCC Is Applying Or Releasing
If the shudder occurs while TCC is applying, the problem
can be within the transaxle or torque converter.
Something is not allowing the clutch to become fully en-
gaged, not allowing clutch to release, or is trying to release
and apply the clutch at the same time. This could be
caused by leaking turbine shaft seals, a restricted release
orifice, a distorted clutch or housing surface due to long
converter bolts, or defective friction material on the TCC
plate.
Shudder Occurs After TCC Has Applied :
In this case, most of the time there is nothing wrong with
the transaxle! As mentioned above, once the TCC has
been applied, it is very unlikely that will slip. Engine prob-
lems may go unnoticed under light throttle and load, but
become noticeable after TCC apply when going up a hill
or accelerating, due to the mechanical coupling between
engine and transaxle.
Important : Once TCC is applied there is no torque con-
verter assistance. Engine or driveline vibrations could be
unnoticeable before TCC engagement.
Inspect the following components to avoid misdiagnosis of
TCC shudder and possibly disassembling a transaxle and/
or replacing a torque converter unnecessarily :
S Spark plugs – Inspect for cracks, high resistance or
broken insulator.
S Plug wires – Lock in each end, if there is red dust
(ozone) or black substance (carbon) present, then
the wires are bad. Also look for a white discolor-
ation of the wire indicating arcing during hard accel-
eration.
S Distributor cap and rotor – look for broken or un–
crimped parts.
S Coil – look for black on bottom indication arcing
while engine is misfiring.
S Fuel injector – filter may be plugged.
S Vacuum leak – engine won’t get correct amount of
fuel. May run rich or lean depending on where the
leak is.S EGR valve – valve may let it too much unburnable
exhaust gas and cause engine to run lean.
S MAP sensor – like vacuum leak, engine won’t get
correct amount of fuel for proper engine operation.
S Carbon on intake valves – restricts proper flow or
air/fuel mixture into cylinders.
S Flat cam – valves don’t open enough to let proper
fuel/air mixture into cylinders.
S Oxygen sensor – may command engine too rich or
too lean for too long.
S Fuel pressure – may be too low.
S Engine mounts – vibration of mounts can be multi-
plied by TCC engagement.
S Axle joints – checks for vibration.
S TPS – TCC apply and release depends on the TPS
in many engines. If TPS is out of specification, TCC
may remain applied during initial engine starting.
S Cylinder balance – bad piston rings or poorly seal-
ing valves can cause low power in a cylinder.
S Fuel contamination – causes poor engine perfor-
mance.
TCM INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE
When one or more operations such as shown below are
performed, all learned contents which are stored in TCM
memory should be erased after the operations.
S When A/T H/W is replaced in a vehicle,
S When a used TCU is installed in other vehicle,
S When a vehicle condition is unstable (engine RPM
flare, TPS toggling and so on; at this kind of unsta-
ble conditions, mis–adaptation might be done).
1. Connect the Scan 100 with a DLC connector in a
vehicle.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Turn the power on for the Scan 100.
4. Follow the ”TCM LEARNED INITIALIZE” procedure

ZF 4 HP 16 AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE 5A1 – 233
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
To engage the lock–up clutch, the direction of flow is modi-
fied (reversed) via a valve in the hydraulic selector unit. At
the same time, the space behind the lock–up clutch piston
is vented. The oil pressure passes from the turbine cham-
ber to the lock–up clutch piston and presses it against the
converter’s cover. The turbine is thus blocked by way of
the linings between the piston and cover, and permits rigid
through drive with no slip (or reduced slip if controlled) to
the mechanical stage of the transaxle.
Fluid Pump
The fluid pump is located between the torque converter
and the transaxle case and is driven directly by the torque
converter. The pump sucks the fluid through a filter and de-
livers it to the main pressure regulator valve of the control
system. Excess fluid flows back to the pump. The fluid
pump fulfills the following functions:
S Generates line pressure.
S Delivers fluid under pressure to the torque convert-
er, thus preventing air bubbles in the fluid.
S Induces a flow of fluid through the torque converter
in order to eliminate heat.
S Supplies fluid pressure to the hydraulic control sys-
tem.
S Supplies fluid pressure to the shift components.S Lubricates the transaxle with fluid.
Pump Housing
1. Disc
2. Shaft seal
3. Stator shaft
4. Pump wheel
5. Pump ring gear
6. Dowel pin
Planetary Gears
The ZF 4HP 16 automatic transaxle is equipped with a one
sun gear, 4 planetary gears, planetary carrier, ring gear.
Each gear is located one directly behind the other and are
linked together. In other words, front ring gear is perma-
nently linked to rear planet carrier, front planet carrier is
linked to rear ring gear.
The individual gear ratios are obtained by linking together
the gear set elements in different ways by means of
clutches and brakes.
On the 4HP 16, the power flow is directed into the plane-
tary gear set via rear planet carrier or rear sun gear, or via
both simultaneously, depending on the gear in question.
The output is always via the front planet carrier.

MAINTAINING CHEMICAL STABILITY
IN THE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
The efficient operation and the life of the air conditioning
(A/C) system is dependent upon the chemical stability of
the refrigeration system. When foreign materials, such as
dirt, air, or moisture, contaminate the refrigeration system,
they will change the stability of the refrigerant and the poly-
alkaline glycol (PAG) compressor oil. They will also affect
the pressure–temperature relationship, reduce efficient
operation, and can possibly cause interior corrosion and
abnormal wear of moving parts.
Observe the following practices to ensure chemical stabil-
ity in the system:
S Wipe away dirt or oil at and near any connection
before opening that connection. This will reduce the
chance of dirt entering the system.
S Cap, plug, or tape both sides of a connection as
soon as possible after opening the connection. This
will prevent the entry of dirt, foreign material, and
moisture.
S Keep all tools clean and dry, including the manifold
gauge set and all replacement parts.
S Use a clean and dry transfer device and container
to add polyalkaline glycol refrigerant oil. This will
ensure that the oil remains as moisture–free as
possible. Refer to ”Discharging, Adding Oil, Eva-
cuating, and Charging Procedures for A/C System”
in this section.
S Have everything you need ready to allow you to
perform all operations quickly when opening an A/C
system. Do not leave the A/C system open any lon-
ger than necessary.
S Evacuate and recharge any A/C system that has
been opened. Refer to ”Discharging, Adding Oil,
Evacuating, and Charging Procedures for A/C Sys-
tem” in this section for the instructions to perform
this procedure properly.
All service parts are dehydrated and sealed before ship-
ping. They should remain sealed until just before making
connections. All the parts should be at room temperature
before uncapping. This prevents condensation of mois-
ture from the air from entering the system. Reseal all parts
as soon as possible.
DISCHARGING, ADDING OIL,
EVACUATING, AND CHARGING
PROCEDURES FOR A/C SYSTEM
CAUTION : Use only refillable refrigerant tanks that
are authorized for the charging station being used.
The use of other tanks may cause personal injury or
void the warranty. Refer to the manufacturer’s in-
structions for the charging station.CAUTION : To avoid personal injury, always wear
goggles and gloves when performing work that in-
volves opening the refrigeration system.
A charging station discharges, evacuates, and recharges
an air–conditioning (A/C) system with one hookup. Filter-
ing the refrigerant during the recovery cycle together with
filtering during the evacuation cycle ensures a supply of
clean, dry refrigerant for A/C system charging.
S Never use the R–134a charging station on a sys-
tem charged with R–12. The refrigerants and the
oils from each system are not compatible with
those from the other system and must never be
mixed, even in the smallest amount. Mixing refriger-
ant residue will damage the equipment.
S Never use adapters which convert from one size
fitting to another. Such use allows contamination,
which may cause system failure.
Charging Station Setup and Maintenance
There are many charging stations available. All perform
the various tasks required to discharge the system and re-
cover refrigerant, evacuate the system, add a measured
amount of oil, and recharge an A/C system with a mea-
sured amount of refrigerant. Refer to the manufacturer’s
instructions for all initial setup procedures and all mainte-
nance procedures.
Control Panel Functions
A charging station will have controls and indicators to allow
the operator to control and monitor the operation in prog-
ress. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for details.
These can be expected to include the following:
1. Main Power Switch
S Supplies electrical power to the control panel.
2. Display
S Shows the time programmed for vacuum.
S Shows the weight of the refrigerant programmed
for recharging.
S Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for de-
tailed programming information.
3. Low–Side Manifold Gauge
S Shows the system’s low–side pressure.
4. High–Side Manifold Gauge
S Shows the system’s high–side pressure.
5. Controls Panel
S Controls the various operating functions.
6. Low–Side Valve
S Connects the low side of the A/C system to the
unit.
7. Moisture Indicator
S Shows whether the refrigerant is wet or dry.
8. High–Side Valve
S Connects the high side of the A/C system to the
unit.
