2 Maintenance Operations
2.1 Transmission Fluid
When adding or changing the transmission fluid, use only the recommended automatic transmission fluid, refer to
0B Maintenance and Lubrication.
For the automatic transmission fluid diagnosis, refer to 7C3 Automatic Transmission – 4L60E – Hydraulic and
Mechanical Diagnosis.
Transmission Fluid Colour
New transmission fluid is red in colour due to a dye that is added to the fluid so it can be distinguished from other oils and
lubricants. The red dye is not permanent and as such, is not an indicator of the quality of the fluid.
As the vehicle is driven the transmission fluid will quickly look darker in colour and appear to be a light brown. A dark
brown colour with a distinctively burnt odour may indicate fluid deterioration and the need for fluid replacement.
NOTE
A dark brown fluid colour observed, coupled with
a reported delayed shift pattern may only indicate
that fluid replacement is required. This is not a
definite indication of a potential transmission
failure.
Transmission Fluid Level
NOTE
Carry out this operation with the transmission at
normal operating temperature (82 – 94°C), as the
temperature greatly affects the fluid level.
1 Drive the vehicle for a distance of at least 25 km to bring the transmission up to normal operating temperature.

If the transmission is not at normal operating
temperature and the correct procedure is not
followed, the result could be a false reading of
the fluid level on the transmission fluid
indicator.
2 If the vehicle has been operated under any of the following conditions, switch the engine off and allow the transmission to cool for approximately thirty minutes:
• in high ambient temperatures above 32° C,
• at sustained high speeds,
• in heavy stop / start city traffic during hot weather, or
• towing.
3 Park the vehicle on level ground.
4 Move the gear selector to the Park position and apply the park brake.
5 Allow the engine to idle for 3 minutes with the accessories turned off.

6 Lift the locking lever (1) on the transmission fluid
indicator, then remove the indicator from the filler
tube (2) and check the fluid colour, condition and level.

Do not overfill the transmission. Overfilling
can cause aeration resulting in fluid loss,
shift complaints and possible damage to the
transmission.
7 If the transmission fluid level is low, add only enough of the recommended fluid until
its level shows onto the
crosshatch hot area (3) of the fluid indicator.
Figure 7C4 – 1
2.2 Reverse Flush and Flow Rate Test
It is essential to perform a reverse flush and oil cooler flow rate test after any of the following:
• the transmission is repaired or replaced,
• fluid contamination is suspected, or
• whenever the oil pump and/or torque converter is replaced.
NOTE
The reverse flush must be completed prior to
conducting a flow rate test.
Reverse Flush
1 Disconnect both cooler hose/line assemblies at the transmission and at the radiator cooler, refer to 3.17 Transmission Cooler Line/Hose Assemblies.
2 Check the cooler hose/line to radiator cooler fittings for damage, replace as required.

To avoid personal injury, wear safety glasses
when using compressed air.
3 Carefully check the radiator cooler lower fitting to see if any foreign material is evident at this point. If foreign material is found, remove it with a suitable tool and/or compressed air at a reduced pressure of approximately
345 kPa blown in the reverse direction through the cooler.
4 Using compressed air at a reduced pressure of approximately 345 kPa blown in a reverse direction, clean the cooler hose/line assemblies.
5 Reconnect the cooler outlet line to the transmission and both cooler hose/line assemblies to the radiator cooler fittings, refer to 3.17 Transmission Cooler Line/Hose Assemblies.
NOTE
Do not reconnect the cooler inlet line at the
transmission end. This line needs to be left
disconnected to perform the flow rate test.
6 Perform the flow rate test, refer to Flow Rate Test in this Section.

ISUZU KB P190 2007

Automatic Transmission – 4L60E – On-vehicle Servicing Page 7C4–7
NOTE
This will also flush the cooler hose/line
assemblies and cooler with transmission fluid.
7 If the flow rate is satisfactory, reconnect the cooler inlet line to the transmission, refer to 3.17 Transmission Cooler Line/Hose Assemblies.
8 Lower the vehicle, check and top up the transmission fluid to the correct level as required, refer to 2.1 Transmission Fluid.
Flow Rate Test

Do not run the engine any longer than
absolutely necessary, as a fluid level too low
can cause aeration and foaming.
1 Ensure the transmission fluid is at the recommended level or slightly above, refer to 2.1 Transmission Fluid.
2 Disconnect the cooler inlet line at the transmission quick-connect fitting, refer to 3.17 Transmission Cooler Line/Hose Assemblies.
3 Place a suitable size container underneath the disconnected cooler inlet line.
4 W ith the selector lever in the P position, start the engine and observe the fluid flow into the container after all the air bubbles have ceased and a steady flow is evident. Measure the flow rate over 20 seconds and ensure it is within
the specification.
Transmission fluid flow rate specification per 20 Seconds:
Temperature: Ambient ............................................................ 0.7 Litres 86° – 93° C ...................................................... 1.2 Litres
5 If the flow rate is less than the specification, the cause of the low flow rate must be located and rectified. Possible cause could include:
• restricted cooler within the radiator tank,
• kinked or damaged transmission cooler hose/line assemblies, or
• internal transmission fault such as a faulty pump.
6 Reinstall the cooler inlet line to the transmission quick-connect fitting, refer to 3.17 Transmission Cooler Line/Hose Assemblies.
