Fusion FWD V6-3.0L (2009)
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/FNR5/Special Testing Procedures.
1. Check the transmission fluid level and fill as necessary.
2. Remove the transmission fluid level indicator from the transmission filler tube and install the funnel in the transmission filler tube.
3. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. Refer to Maintenance/Service and Repair. Inspect the transmission fluid cooler tubes for
damage. Install new transmission fluid cooler tubes as needed.
4. Disconnect the transmission fluid cooler return hose from the transmission fluid cooler return tube.
5. Plug the transmission fluid cooler return hose to avoid transmission fluid loss.
6. Connect one end of a hose to the transmission fluid cooler return tube and route the other end of the hose up to a point where it can be inserted into
the funnel at the transmission fluid filler tube.
7. Start the engine and run at idle with the transaxle in NEUTRAL range until the transmission fluid is warm. Temperature is important to the flow
rate measurement.
-
Once transmission fluid flow no longer has air bubbles in it, remove the rubber hose from the funnel and insert it into a liter container.
-
As soon as 0.95L (1 qt) is dispensed into the container, install the hose into the funnel.
-
One quart of transmission fluid should flow through the cooling system in approximately 17-21 seconds.
8. Once adequate flow is determined, shut off the engine, remove the extension hose and reassemble the transmission fluid cooler tube with the
constant tension clamp.
9. If flow is not adequate, stop the engine. Disconnect the hose from the transmission fluid cooler return tube and connect it to the converter-out line.
If flow is now liberal, install a new transmission fluid cooler.
10. Check the transmission fluid level and adjust as required.
