Rio L4-1.5L (2001)
13.
Warm up engine and A/T to operating temperature, perform stall test per Service Manual instructions.
14.
For P0740 diagnosis, test TCC system with Transaxle/Transmission tester in manual mode (3rd or 4th gear), steady speed, engine RPM over 1600.
RPM should drop approximately 200-400 RPM (depending on throttle pressure) when LOCK UP SOLENOID switch is engaged.
* NOTICE
Do not perform TCC operational test at idle. Test is invalid under 1600 RPM due to low fluid pressure, and transaxle may be damaged.
15.
Check for drivability concerns, intermittent TPS readings, low power caused by exhaust restriction, low fuel pressure or incorrect cam timing etc.,
will cause shifting problems.
16.
Test-drive vehicle extensively, and check for (pending) DTCs afterwards. During the drive, check for erratic speedometer needle behavior. If
speedometer is erratic, diagnose and repair: erratic vehicle speed signal to TCM will cause A/T concerns. Monitor A/T fluid temperature readings
using Hi Scan Pro. Set up a flight record session for "any DTC". If (pending) codes set during test drive, investigate and correct as required, using
flight record data.
If concern is not resolved, use Transaxle/Transmission tester to determine whether the fault is in the transaxle itself or in the controls/wiring.
Call Kia Technical Assistance Hot line at 1-800-494-4542 for further information as required. Carefully record all work performed on the A/T
Diagnosis Worksheet, and file with R.O.
