Fluid - A/T: Testing and Inspection

Transmission Fluid Cooler Flushing and Flow Test

GM studies indicate that plugged or restricted transmission oil coolers and pipes cause insufficient transmission lubrication and elevated operating
temperatures which can lead to premature transmission failure. Many repeat repair cases could have been prevented by following published procedures
for transmission oil cooler flushing and flow checking. This procedure includes flow checking and flushing the auxiliary transmission oil cooler, if
equipped.

Note:  Use the J 45096 - flush and flow test tool or equivalent to flush and flow test the transmission oil cooler and the oil cooler pipes after the transaxle
is removed for repairs.

Only GM Goodwrench DEXRON(R)VI automatic transmission fluid should be used when doing a repair on a GM transmission.

Time allowance for performing the cooler flow checking and flushing procedure has been included in the appropriate labor time guide operations since
the 1987 model year. The service procedure steps for oil cooler flushing and flow testing are as follows:

1. Machine Set-up
2. Determine Minimum Flow Rate
3. Back Flush
4. Forward Flush
5. Flow Test
6. Code Recording Procedure
