2004 ISUZU TF SERIES parking brake

7A1-10 CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION
INPUT SHAFT

The input shaft has some oil holes, through which lubricating ATF is supplied to the torque converter,
bearings, etc.

The input shaft is fitted the turbine runner in the torque converter, reverse & high clutch drum and rear sun
gear by means of the spline. Therefore, the engine driving force received by the torque converter is
transmitted to the reverse & high clutch drum and rear sun gear.

OUTPUT SHAFT

The output shaft has some oil holes, through which the lubricating ATF is supplied to the bearings,
planetary gear unit, etc.

The output shaft transmits the engine driving force from the planetary gear to the propeller shaft.

The front internal gear is fitted with the rear carrier assembly by spline. The parking gear is also fitted by
spline. By fixing this gear mechanically, the output shaft is fixed as required when parking the vehicle.

GEAR SHIFTING MECHANISM

The JR405E consists of two sets of planetary gears, three multiple plate clutches, two multiple plate
brakes and a one-way clutch. They are activated in different combinations in any of four forward and one
reverse gear positions.

Principle of gear shifting (Figure 12)

Planetary gears have the advantage of a compact configuration because of the way they are constructed
with a single central shaft.

Also, unlike the manual transmission gears that require changing of gear mesh, the gear ratio of the
planetary gears can be changed more easily by locking, releasing or rotating only some of their parts.

A planetary gear is made up of a sun gear (1) at its center and pinion gears (2) each of which rotates
about its own center and also along the sun gear, as shown. They are all called in the internal gear (3).

Also, since the pinion gears are further supported by the planetary carrier (4), they rotate as a unit in the
same direction and at the same rate.

As shown above, each planetary gears are constructed of three elements; a sun gear, pinion gears, and
internal gear and a planetary carrier. Gear shifting is achieved by conditioning two of the three elements
namely the sun gear, internal gear and the planetary carrier.

The planetary gears are locked by the clutch, brake and one-way clutch according to the gear shifting.

7A1-38 CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION
P Range
Though the driving force of the input shaft is transmitted to the rear sun gear and reverse & high clutch drum,
the driving force is not transmitted to the output shaft since all of the clutches and brakes are not engaged.
Therefore, the vehicle can move at this condition. However, since the output shaft is mechanically locked
with the parking pawl, the rear planetary carrier and front internal gear are locked. For this reason, the
vehicle does not move.

DIAGNOSIS (JR405E) 7A2-93
No. A1: Vehicle Does Not Run in D, 3, 2, L and R Range

Description:

Vehicle does not run though the accelerator pedal is stepped on.

Diagnosis Hints:

Some trouble in the AT main unit is supposed (since the vehicle can run even if the TCM is defective). However,
since the trouble of the main unit may be originated from the sensor system or output system, these systems
should be also checked to prevent reproduce of the trouble.

Possible Cause:

Slip of clutch (low clutch, low one-way clutch, reverse clutch, low & reverse brake).
If slip of clutch is caused, a DTC (gear ratio error) is stored.

Shortage or faulty quality of ATF.

Dropped line pressure.

Trouble in control valve body (faulty operation, sticking, clogged oil passage).

Disordered select cable (select indicator light indicates D, 3, 2, L or R but the hydraulic system is not in the D, 3,
2, L, or R range).

Faulty torque generated.

Trouble in the torque converter (faulty operation, sticking), insufficient engine output.

Malfunction of parking mechanism.

Step Action Yes No
1 Dislocation or disordered of select lever.
Does the vehicle move when the brake is released in a
position other than the P range and the vehicle is pushed?

Go to Step 2

Adjust the select cable.

Go to DTC Chart Go to Step 3
3 Are the quantity, contamination and smell normal?
If the ATF level is low,
replenish up to the
specified level.

Go to Step 4
If ATF is extremely
black and
contaminated and
smells burnt, slip of the
clutch is supposed.
Overhaul the AT unit.
4 Is the stall revolution correct in all range? Refer the STALL
TEST section in this manual.
Go to Step 5

DIAGNOSIS (JR405E) 7A2-107
No. B10: Brake is Applied in R Range

Description:

Brake is applied suddenly in R range.

Diagnosis Hints:

Basically a trouble in the AT main unit. However, some trouble in the sensor system or output system may have
some influence on the trouble in the main unit and therefore these systems should be also checked to prevent
reproduce of the trouble.

Possible Cause:

Seized clutch (low clutch, high clutch, 2-4 brake).

Shortage or faulty quality of ATF.

Trouble in control valve body (faulty operation, sticking, clogged oil passage).

Disordered select cable (select indicator light indicates R but the hydraulic system is not in the R range).

Malfunction of parking mechanism.


No. B11: Insufficient Starting or Shaking in D Range

Description:

Insufficient starting or shaking in D range.

Possible Cause:

Slip of clutch (low clutch, low one-way clutch, reverse clutch, low & reverse brake).
If slip of clutch is caused, a DTC (gear ratio error) is stored.

Shortage or faulty quality of ATF.

Dropped line pressure.

Trouble in control valve body (faulty operation, sticking, clogged oil passage).


No. B12: Noise or Vibration is Generated at Starting

Description:

Noise or vibration is generated in the vicinity of AT at starting.

Diagnosis Hints:

Cause other than AT can be also considered. It is effective means to reproduce a running condition using a lift
up, chassis dynamo, etc. to investigate the origin (generating condition) of noise and vibration.
Caution:
Lifting up some unit to test it accompanies danger. Provide safety measures as far as possible and
carry out the test with sufficient care.

Possible Cause:
Following sources of noise or vibration other than the AT can be considered.

Noise from differential gears.

Noise from propeller shaft.

The bearing support in the middle of the propeller shaft has fatigued, and the bend angle of the propeller shaft
has changed, causing vibration at the time of start.

Unbalanced and poor uniformity of tires cause vibration.
