2004 ISUZU TF SERIES automatic transmission fluid

TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (AW30–40LE) (V6 3.5L) 7A2-47

Diagnostic Aids

Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connection at
the TCM. Look for possible bent, backed out,
deformed or damaged terminals. Check for weak
terminal tension as well. Also check for a chafed wire
that could short to bare metal or other wiring. Inspect
for a broken wire inside the insulation.

When diagnosing for a possible intermittent short o
r
open condition, move the wiring harness while
observing test equipment for a change.

Check oil temperature sensor for proper mounting
and adjustment.

Conditions For Clearing The DTC

The DTC can be cleared from the TCM history by
using a scan tool.
 The DTC will be cleared from history when the
vehicle has achieved 40 warm-up cycles without a
failure reported.

After more than 1 second has elapsed after the
ignition key has been turned “ON", short between
No.11 and No.4 (ground) of DLC (Data Link
Connector). Then, after 1 second, but within 6
seconds, discontinue shorting.

Major Components
Disassembly, inspection and reassembly of each
component group is indicated in the following chapter.
Before reassembly, make sure, again, that all
component groups are assembled correctly.
If something wrong is found in a certain component
group during assembly, inspect and repair this group
immediately.
General Assembly Notes:
1. The automatic transmission is composed of highly
precision-finished parts, necessitating careful
inspection before assembly because even a small
nick could cause fluid leakage or affect
performance.


2. Before assembling new clutch discs and brake
bands, soak them in automatic transmission fluid fo
r
at least thirty minutes.
3.
Apply automatic transmission fluid on the sliding or
rotating surfaces of parts before assembly.
4. Use petroleum jelly to keep small parts in thei
r
palces.
5. Do not use adhesive cements on gaskets and similar parts.
6. When assembling the transmission, be sure to use new gaskets and O-rings.
7. Dry all parts with compressed air - never use shop rags.
8. Be sure to install the thrust bearings and races in the correct direction and position.

UNIT REPAIR (AW30–40LE) 7A4–37
Diaassembly, Inspection and
Reassembly of minor Components
NOTE: The instructions here are organized so that you
work on only one component group at a time.
This will help avoid confusion from similar-looking parts
of different subassemblies being on your workbench at
the same time.
The component groups are inspected and repaired from
the converter housing side.
As much as possible, complete the inspection, repair
and reassembly before proceeding to the nex t
component group. If a component group cannot be
reassembled because parts are being ordered, be sure
to keep all parts of that group in separate container
while proceeding with disassembly, inspection, repair
and reassembly of other component groups.
Recommended ATF type DEXRON III.
General Cleaning Notes:
1. All disassembled parts should be washed clean and
any fluid passages and holes should be blown
through with compressed air.
2. When using compressed air to dry parts, always aim
away from yourself to prevent accidentally spraying
automatic transmission fluid in your face.
3. The recommended automatic transmission fluid
should be used for cleaning.
Parts Arrangement:
1. After cleaning, the parts should be arranged in
proper order to allow performing inspection, repairs,
and reassembly with efficiency.
2. When disassembling a valve body, be sure to keep
each valve together with the corresponding spring.
3. New brakes and clutches that are to be used for
replacement must be soaked in transmission fluid
for at least thirty minutes before assembly.
General Assembly:
1. All oil seal rings, clutch discs, clutch plates, rotating
parts, and sliding surfaces should be coated with
transmission fluid prior to reassembly.
2. All gaskets and rubber O-ring should be replaced.
3. Make sure that the ends of a snap ring are not
aligned with one of the cutouts and are installed in
the groove correctly.
4. If a worn bushing is to be replaced, the
subassembly containing that bushing must be
replaced.
5. Check thrust bearings and races for wear or
damage. Replace if necessary.
6. Use petroleum jelly or vaseline to keep parts in
place.

7A2-6 DIAGNOSIS (JR405E)
BASIC TROUBLE SHOOTING

Transmission fluid pressure together with clutch and brake friction and other important transmission functions are
controlled by electrical signal from the Transmission Control Module (TCM).
Random diagnosis can produce inaccurate and misleading indications. It is important that diagnosing procedure be
carried out systematically.
Carefully follow the sequence outlined below to diagnose automatic transmission assembly.

7A3-2 ON-VEHICLE SERVICE (JR405E)
DESCRIPTION
Before performing on-vehicle service on the automatic
transmission, check that the engine idling speed and
general engine condition are normal.



AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (ATF)
Inspect
Remove the transmission dipstick to check the condition
of the ATF.
Clean the dipstick and look for gum or varnish.
Gum or varnish indicate scorching of the clutch band
and other parts.
The transmission control module, the transmission unit,
and the vehicle must be carefully checked if gum or
varnish is present.




ATF LEVEL
Inspect
Hot Level
1. Warm up the engine and the transmission by driving
the vehicle on the road so that the temperature
reaches around 80
C (176
F).
Do not turn the engine off.
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
3. Apply the parking brake firmly.
4. Let the engine run at idle.
Move the select lever slowly through all the gea
r
ranges.
Stop in each gear range just long enough for the
transmission to engage.
5. Return the select lever to either “P” or “N”.
C07RW009
6. Remove the ATF level dipstick.
7. Wipe the dipstick clean with a paper towel.
8. Reinsert the dipstick and wait several seconds.
9. Remove the dipstick.
The ATF level should be inside the “H” range on the
dipstick.
242R300001
If the ATF level is below the “H” range, ATF must be
added.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE (JR405E) 7A3-19

2 (B) 30 mm (1.18 in) Gold

Bolt torque : 8 N·m (69 lb·in)
3. Connect the 2 harness connectors.
4. If removed, install the oil strainer.
Refer to “Solenoids, Oil Pressure Switch and Oil
Temperature Sensor” previously in this section.
5. Install the new gasket and oil pan.
Bolt torque : 8 N·m (69 lb·in)
6. Fill the fluid.
Refer to “ATF CHANGE” in this section.
7. Connect the negative battery cable.
8. Remove the wheel blocks.

FLUSHING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER AND LINE
The fluid cooler and lines may be flushed under the
following condition. This will help prevent more trouble
after the transmission is repaired.
1. When the abnormal amount of debris are found.
2. When the abnormal wear or chips on gears and
shafts are found while overhauling.
3. When the abnormal clutch facing wear and oil
contamination are found.

Procedures
1. Block the wheels.
2. Disconnect negative battery cable.
3. Raise vehicle and support with suitable safety
stands.
4. Disconnect fluid cooler lines at transmission case
and fluid cooler.
5. Flush and back-flush the fluid cooler and lines using
solvent and compressed air.
Note:
DO NOT exceed 197 kPa (29 psi) air pressure or
damage may result to oil cooler.

6. Remove all remaining solvent from the system with
compressed air.
7. Flush the cooling system again with Automatic
Transmission Fluid (ATF).
After the final flush, connect all lines.
Cooler line joint connector torque :
44 N·m (33 lb·ft)
8. Replenish ATF
9. Start engine to test the system for the free flow o
f
fluid. If the flow is restricted, the cooler assembly o
r
lines must be replaced.
Repeated cleaning and flushing may not remove all
debris from the fluid cooler circuit.
Move the select lever through the various ranges and
return to neutral.
Check for fluid level.
If the fluid level is below the specified range, ATF
must be added.
10. Connect negative battery cable.
11. Remove safety stands.
12. Remove wheel blocks.
