AT problem diagnostics - the general information

AT refusals occur on one of the following five reasons more often:

a) Decrease in efficiency of return of the engine;
b) Violation of adjustments;
c) Malfunction of hydraulics;
d) Mechanical damages;
e) Failures of the onboard processor / its alarm chain.

Problem diagnostics always should begin with the simplest checks: estimate level and ATF condition (see. Head of Control and routine maintenance), check adjustment of drives of gear shifting and a butterfly valve. Further, carry out trial runs of the car for the purpose of determination of efficiency of the brought corrections. If to eliminate a problem it was not possible, it is necessary to drive away the car on car repair shop for more detailed diagnostics with use of the special equipment. The description of violations of functioning of AT some of symptoms is provided in the Section devoted to problem diagnostics of knots and systems of the car at the beginning of the real Management.

Primary checks

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. During a short trip warm up transmission to normal working temperature.
2. Check ATF level (see. Head of Control and routine maintenance):

a) If liquid has not enough, make the corresponding adjustment, having added necessary quantity of fresh ATF. Be convinced of correctness of the carried-out adjustment according to indications measuring щупа, then check transmission on existence of signs of external leaks;
b) If level is excessively high, merge surplus of ATF, then check it on existence of traces of presence of the cooling liquid, testifying to violation of tightness of internal partitions of the radiator separating its heat exchanger from lateral tanks with ATF;
c) If ATF is made foam, empty transmission and fill it with fresh liquid, - merged ATF check on existence of traces of presence of cooling liquid.
3. Check installation of turns of idling of the engine (see. Head of the Power supply system and release). In case of need drive away the car on car repair shop for performance of the corresponding adjustments.

If the engine not as it should be, it is not necessary to start performance of primary checks of transmission until the corresponding corrections will be made.

Diagnostics of leakages of ATF

General information

The majority of leaks easily come to light at visual check. Repair usually consists in replacement of the corresponding defective epiploon or laying. If to reveal a leak source during external survey it is not possible, act, as it is described below.

First of all it is necessary to exclude probability of a mistake in definition of the nature of leak. It is not necessary to confuse ATF to impellent oil or brake liquid (transmission liquid usually has dark red color).

For identification of a source of leak make short (some kilometers) a trip, then park the car over the outspread blank sheet of a cardboard. Later few minutes the source of leak can be revealed in the wake of liquid dripping on a cardboard.

Attentively examine a suspected site and a surface surrounding it, special attention giving to joints of interfaced prokladochny surfaces. For the purpose of expansion of a corner of the review use a pocket pocket mirror.

If to reveal a leak source still it is not possible, carefully wipe a surface of a suspected site the rags moistened with solvent, then dry it.

Make one more short trip, this time often changing speed of movement, then again examine the cleaned suspected site.

After identification of a source of leak, it is necessary to define and eliminate the reason of its development, and only then to pass to performance of necessary recovery operations. Replacement of the damaged laying will not lead to desirable result if to leave not eliminated the defect of the interfaced surface which has led to an exit of a sealant out of operation. So, the deformed flange it is necessary отрихтовать.

In below-mentioned subsections the most typical reasons of development of leakages of ATF and a condition which should be executed that there was no recurrence are listed.

Part from the listed requirements cannot be executed without use of the special equipment. In this case the car should be driven away on car repair shop.


Leaks through prokladochny surfaces

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Periodically examine the pallet of a case of transmission. Check existence on the places and reliability of a tightening of fixing bolts, watch, that on a cover there were no traces of mechanical damages (deformation of the pallet can lead to failure of the klapanny assembly located in transmission).
2. Excessively hard tightening of fixing bolts, violation of passableness of the ventilating line, mechanical damage of a sealing surface of a case of transmission, laying destruction, and also emergence of cracks belong to number of the possible reasons of development of leaks via the pallet or a poroznost of walls of a case. If laying of the pallet or a case of transmission is formed by a hermetic pillow, the probability of the wrong choice of type of the last is not excluded. To leaks through laying of the pallet can lead also case overflow by transmission liquid, or increase of pressure of ATF.


Leaks through epiploons and cuffs

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Level/pressure of ATF, violation of passableness of a ventilating branch pipe, mechanical damage of walls of a landing nest, damage out of operation belong to number of the most typical reasons of an exit of epiploons of transmission excessively high actually an epiploon, or the wrong installation of the last. The probability of damage of a pin of the shaft passed in an epiploon, or excessive люфт the last as a result of wear of bearings is not excluded also.
2. Check a condition and correctness of landing of a sealing cuff of a directing tube measuring щупа. Periodically examine on existence of signs of leaks a surface around an arrangement of a driving gear wheel of the speedometer/sensor of speed (VSS). In case of need make replacement of a sealing ring.


Leaks through defects in walls of a case of transmission

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Formation of cracks or a time in a body of a case of transmission can be the reason of development of leakages of ATF, - consult at specialists of car-care center.

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

Leaks through сапун ventilation or a jellied mouth can occur owing to overflow of transmission, hit in ATF of cooling liquid, passableness violation сапуна / a ventilating branch pipe or returnable drainage openings.


Check of serviceability of functioning of mechanical subsystems of AT

Check on completely braked car (stall test)

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Operability of transmission and the engine is made by measurement of frequency of rotation of a cranked shaft in the provisions "R" and "D" AT at completely braked car.

ATF should be heated-up to normal working temperature (50 ÷ 80°С). Duration of each check should not exceed five seconds. Check should be made strengths of two people: one should watch wheels of the car, the second makes necessary manipulations in car salon.

8. Make similar check with transfer of transmission to the situation "R".
9. If frequency of rotation of the engine in both cases appears identical and below demanded, therefore, the engine does not develop full capacity, or the coupling of a free wheeling of the AT hydrotransformer is faulty.

If frequency is lower demanded on 600 rpm, the hydrotransformer is probably faulty actually.

Check should be made on the heated-up engine to normal working temperature. The end result should be received a method of averaging of results of three checks, between each of which should pass not less than one minute. It is provided detailed descriptions of a course of performance of this check below.

2. Completely cock the parking brake. Transfer a control lever of a transfer case to the situation H2.
3. Start the engine and check turns of its idling, - in case of need make the corresponding adjustment.
4. Transfer the selector lever from the situation "N" to situation "D" and by means of a stop watch measure delay time, - average value of three consecutive measurements should not exceed 1.2 seconds.
5. Operating in a similar manner, define time of a delay of inclusion of a reverse gear which should not exceed 1.5 seconds.
6. Too low pressure in the main highway, violation of serviceability of functioning of the coupling of a forward course, the coupling of a free wheeling of a raising number of planetary assembly, or a brake of the first and back transfers can be the reason of excessive size of a delay of inclusion.
