Hydraulic System Flush Procedure Diagnostic Instructions
• Perform the Diagnostic System Check prior to using this diagnostic procedure:
Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle
• Review the description of Strategy Based Diagnosis: Strategy Based Diagnosis

Description

This procedure is used to flush the transmission fluid through the filtration system before a repair is performed that may have been caused by debris in the fluid.

The following will occur when the scan tool control is enabled: Engine Speed = 2,000;RPM & Line Pressure = Increase — For 8 min

When to Perform the Procedure
Note: Do NOT perform this procedure unless directed here from another procedure.

Perform this procedure before servicing the component: T12 Automatic Transmission
Conditions for Running the Procedure

• DTCs related to the following system/component = Not Set
o K71Transmission Control Module
o T12 Automatic Transmission
• Brake Pedal = Applied
• Engine = Running
• Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor = Warmer than 50°C (122°F)
• Transmission Range = P or N
• Vehicle Speed = 0 km/h (0 MPH)

Fluid level check:
Quote:
Transmission Fluid Level and Condition Check
Fluid Level Check

Procedure Warning:

The transmission fluid level must be checked when the transmission fluid temperature (TFT) is between 20–40°C (68–104°F).
If the TFT is not within this range, either idle or brake torque the vehicle to raise the fluid temperature, or shut off the vehicle to allow the fluid to cool as required.

Setting the fluid level with a TFT outside this range will result in either an under or over-filled transmission.
TFT greater than 40°C=under-filled, TFT less than 20°C=over-filled. An under-filled transmission will cause premature component wear or damage.
An over-filled transmission will cause fluid to discharge out the vent tube, possibly causing a fire that may result in serious bodily injury or severe vehicle damage, fluid foaming, or pump cavitation.

1. Start and idle the engine with the A/C turned off.
2. Run the vehicle for 3 to 5 minutes while selecting drive and reverse to fill the clutch circuits.
To properly fill the circuits, place foot on brake, shift into drive for 30 to 45 seconds then shift into reverse for 30 to 45 seconds then repeat.
3. Stop the engine and perform the following actions within 5 minutes after stopping the engine.
4. Raise the vehicle on a hoist. The vehicle must be level with the shift selector in PARK range. Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle
5. Note: To avoid rounding of the transmission oil filler plug, it is recommended using an appropriate 6 point metric socket or wrench.

Caution: Use Fuchs TITAN EG FFL-4 TREMEC transmission fluid only.
Failure to use the proper fluid may result in transmission internal damage.


Note:
6. During transmission manufacturing, the fluid is filled by volume and therefore, it could have a fluid level that is approximately 13mm (0.5 in) below the transmission oil filler plug.
7. If more than 1 liter (1.06 quarts) of fluid drains from the transmission, the transmission may have been previously filled for track use.
8. Note: To avoid rounding of the transmission oil filler plug, it is recommended using an appropriate 6 point metric socket or wrench.
9. Place a suitable drain pan under transmission.

11. Fill or drain oil until oil level is at the bottom edge of the fill opening.
