OVERVIEW
This program involves checking the transmission oil cooler (TOC) thermostatic bypass valve. The valve is an integral part of the air conditioning
condenser, located at the passenger side lower corner of the condenser and is easily accessed with the vehicle on a hoist. A newly designed special tool
will be used to check the bypass valve for proper opening. Do not use any other tool to perform this inspection, as other tools will damage the valve.
