Principles of Operation
For a detail ed descripti on of the Aut omati c t ransmis s ion/t rans axl e:REFER to: Trans mi ss i on Descri pti on (307-01 Aut omat ic Trans mi ss ion/Transaxle, Des cript ion and O perati on).
Fluid Level and Condition Check
CAUTION: The vehicle s hould not be driven if t he fluid level i s low as int ernal failure can resul t.
• NOTE: The t rans mis s ion fluid temperat ure mus t be bet ween 50°C (122°F) and 60°C (140°F) whil s t checki ng level. Shouldt he temperat ure ri se above t his figure, abort t he check and al low t he t rans mis s ion flui d to cool .
This vehicle is not equi pped wit h a flui d level indicator. An incorrect l evel may affect the t rans mi ss i on operati on and couldres ult i n t rans mis s ion damage. To correct ly check and add flui d t o the trans mi s si on:REFER to: (307-01 Automat icTrans mis s ion/Transaxle)
Transmis s ion Flui d Level Check - I6 3.2L Petrol (General Procedures ),Transmis s ion Flui d Level Check - TD4 2.2L Di es el (General Procedures ).
Fluid Condi ti on Check
Us e t he fol lowing procedure to check the flui d condi ti on, whi ch is a good i ndicat or of the i nternal condi ti on of thet ransmis s ion:
1. Check t he fluid level .1.
2. Observe the col our and t he odour of t he fl uid. The col our under normal circums t ances s houl d be reddi sh, notbrown or black.
If in doubt, compare t he fluid wit h t hat from a new, s ealed cont ainer.
2.
3. All ow t he fl ui d t o dri p onto a faci al t is s ue and examine t he s tai n.3.
4. If evidence of sol id materi al is found, t he transmis s ion fluid pan should be removed for furt her ins pecti on.4.
Inspection and Verification
CAUTION: Di agnos is by s ubs ti tut ion from a donor vehicle is NO T acceptabl e. Subs ti tut ion of cont rol modules doesnot guarant ee confirmat ion of a faul t, and may als o caus e addit ional fault s i n t he vehi cl e being t est ed and/or t he donorvehi cl e.
