Symptoms - Automatic Transmission
NOTE: Use the symptom tables only if the following conditions are met:
Visual/Physical Inspection
Inspect the easily accessible or visible system components for obvious damage or conditions which could cause the symptom.
Intermittent
Faulty electrical connections or wiring may be the cause of intermittent conditions: Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections.
Symptom List
Refer to a symptom diagnostic procedure from the following list in order to diagnose the symptom:
TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL AND CONDITION CHECK
Level Checking Procedure
1. Start the engine with the A/C turned off.
2. Move the shift lever to all positions from "P" to "D", waiting at least 2 seconds at each position. Repeat this again, and then return it to "P".
3. Raise and support the vehicle: Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle. The vehicle must be level, with the engine running and the shift lever in the PARK range.
NOTE:
4. Wait until the automatic transmission fluid temperature reaches 35 - 45ºC (95 - 113ºF).
5.
NOTE: Some residual automatic transmission fluid will drain from the level setting hole when the plug is initially removed.
Remove the transmission oil drain plug (1). Allow any fluid to drain.
1. Wait until the fluid first begins to flow as a steady stream and is within the specified temperature range, install the transmission oil drain plug (1).
2.
NOTE: The fluid filler plugs installed at locations 1 & 2 at the vehicle assembly plant are one-time-use. They have an interference fit and do not have O-rings.
Once removed, these plugs must be replaced. The service part (replacement plug) available in the GM Parts Catalog (EPC) comes with an O-ring. Lubricate the seal with AW-1 fluid and install the O-ring prior to installing the plug. At each subsequent service, the service part plug (replacement plug) O-ring seal must be replaced. It is a one-time-use part. It is available separate from the plug in the EPC.
If no fluid comes out and the temperature is within the specified range, add fluid until fluid drips out as a steady stream, and then install the transmission oil drain plug (1). Use only the recommended automatic transmission fluid: Refer to Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers.
CAUTION: Refer to Fastener Caution.
6. Using a NEW transmission oil drain plug seal (2), install and tighten the transmission oil drain plug (1) to 8 N.m (6 lb ft).
Condition of Automatic Transmission Fluid
NOTE:
1. Check that the automatic transmission fluid is free of foreign matter.
NOTE: If the automatic transmission fluid is cloudy, water contamination is suspected. Inspect the cooling system.
2. Check that the automatic transmission fluid is not discolored.
Line Pressure Check
Special Tools
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools.
Line Pressure
1. Apply the parking brake and chock the wheels.
2. Install an SLT current measuring machine.
If the machine is not available, installation is not required.
3.
Disconnect the test plug (1) and install EN-21867 Pressure Gauge with EN-21867-50 adapter.
4. Start engine and shift to the "D" position then check oil pressure at idling engine speed.
5. Having completed steps 1 through 4, and with the brake pedal not depressed, line pressure at engine idle should fall within the range specified above.
6.
For the second portion of the line pressure check, firmly depress the brake pedal and perform three stall tests while monitoring the line pressure. Smoothly depress the accelerator pedal to progress from 0 to 100% for 5 seconds. Average the results of the 3 tests. Results should approximate values shown in the chart above.
NOTE:
ROAD TEST
The purpose of the road test is to accurately grasp symptoms of the malfunction and to check completion after the repair is finished.
Be sure to perform the road test under the conditions below:
Perform the road test referring to the table below.
Road Test
TORQUE CONVERTER DIAGNOSIS
The torque converter clutch (TCC) is applied by fluid pressure, which is controlled by a pulse width modulated (PWM) solenoid valve. This solenoid valve is located inside of the automatic transmission assembly. The solenoid valve is controlled through a combination of computer controlled switches and sensors.
Torque Converter Stator
The torque converter stator roller clutch can have two different malfunctions.
Poor Acceleration at Low Speed
If the stator is freewheeling at all times, the car tends to have poor acceleration from a standstill. At speeds above 50 - 55 km/h (30 - 35 mph), the car may act normally. For poor acceleration, you should first determine that the exhaust system is not blocked, and the transmission is in First gear when starting out.
If the engine freely accelerates to high RPM in NEUTRAL, you can assume that the engine and the exhaust system are normal. Check for poor performance in DRIVE and REVERSE to help determine if the stator is freewheeling at all times.
Poor Acceleration at High Speed
If the stator is locked up at all times, performance is normal when accelerating from a standstill. Engine RPM and car speed are limited or restricted at high speeds. Visual examination of the converter may reveal a blue color from overheating.
If the converter has been removed, you can check the stator roller clutch by inserting a finger into the splined inner race of the roller clutch and trying to turn the race in both directions. You should be able to freely turn the inner race clockwise, but you should have difficulty in moving the inner race counterclockwise or you may be unable to move the race at all.
Noise
NOTE: Do not confuse this noise with pump whine noise, which is usually noticeable in PARK, NEUTRAL and all other gear ranges. Pump whine will vary with line pressure.
You may notice a torque converter whine when the vehicle is stopped and the transmission is in DRIVE or REVERSE. This noise will increase as you increase the engine RPM. The noise will stop when the vehicle is moving or when you apply the torque converter clutch, because both halves of the converter are turning at the same speed.
Perform a stall test to make sure the noise is actually coming from the converter:
1. Place your foot on the brake.
2. Put the gear selector in DRIVE.
3. Depress the accelerator to approximately 1, 200 RPM for no more than 6 seconds.
CAUTION: You may damage the transmission if you depress the accelerator for more than 6 seconds.
A torque converter noise will increase under this load.
Torque Converter Clutch Shudder
The key to diagnosing TCC shudder is to note when it happens and under what conditions.
TCC shudder which is caused by the transmission should only occur during the apply or the release of the converter clutch. Shudder should never occur after the TCC plate is fully applied.
If the shudder occurs while the TCC is applying, the problem can be within the transmission or the torque converter.
Something is causing one of the following conditions to occur:
One of the following conditions may be causing the problem to occur:
If Shudder Occurs After TCC has Applied
If shudder occurs after the TCC has applied, most of the time there is nothing wrong with the transmission.
As mentioned above, the TCC is not likely to slip after the TCC has been applied. Engine problems may go unnoticed under light throttle and load, but they become noticeable after the TCC apply when going up a hill or accelerating. This is due to the mechanical coupling between the engine and the transmission.
Once TCC is applied, there is no torque converter, fluid coupling, assistance. Engine or driveline vibrations could be unnoticeable before TCC engagement.
Inspect the following components in order to avoid misdiagnosis of TCC shudder. An inspection will also avoid the unnecessary disassembly of a transmission or the unnecessary replacement of a torque converter.
Torque Converter Evaluation and Diagnosis
Replace the torque converter if any of the following conditions exist:
Do not replace the torque converter if you discover any of the following symptoms:
NOISE AND VIBRATION ANALYSIS
Idling
Garage Shift
Driving
Up Shift and/or Down Shift
ENGINE COOLANT/WATER IN TRANSMISSION
CAUTION: The antifreeze or water will deteriorate the seals, gaskets and the glue that bonds the clutch material to the pressure plate. Both conditions may cause damage to the transmission.
If antifreeze or water has entered the transmission, perform the following:
1. Replace all of the rubber type seals. The coolant will attack the seal material which will cause leakage.
2. Replace the torque converter.
3. Flush the cooler lines after the transmission cooler has been properly repaired or replaced.
Fluid Leak Diagnosis
General Method
1. Verify that the leak is transmission fluid.
2. Thoroughly clean the suspected leak area.
3. Operate the vehicle for 24 km (15 mi), or until normal operating temperatures are reached.
4. Park the vehicle over clean paper or cardboard.
5. Shut OFF the engine.
6. Look for fluid spots on the paper.
7. Make the necessary repairs.
Powder Method
1. Thoroughly clean the suspected leak area with solvent.
2. Apply an aerosol type leak tracing powder to the suspected leak area.
3. Operate the vehicle for 24 km (15 mi), or until normal operating temperatures are reached.
4. Shut OFF the engine.
5. Inspect the suspected leak area.
6. Trace the leak path through the powder in order to find the source of the leak.
7. Make the necessary repairs.
Dye and Black Light Method
A fluid dye and black light kit is available from various tool manufacturers.
1. Follow the manufacturer instructions in order to determine the amount of dye to use.
2. Operate the vehicle for 24 km (15 mi) or until normal operating temperatures are reached.
3. Detect the leak with the black light.
4. Make the necessary repairs.
Find the Cause of the Leak
Pinpoint the leak and trace the leak back to the source. You must determine the cause of the leak in order to repair the leak properly. For example, if you replace a gasket, but the sealing flange is bent, the new gasket will not repair the leak. You must also repair the bent flange. Before you attempt to repair a leak, check for the following conditions, and make repairs as necessary:
