Fault finding for the automatic 4-speed gearbox
Fault finding contains a number of malfunction tables based on the most common complaints which indicate possible sources of the trouble.
To evaluate a complaint, it is necessary to have as complete information about the malfunction and the development of the problem as possible. The symptoms described by the customer should be checked during a road test “with the customer driving”.
Knowledge of the construction and function of the gearbox is essential for an accurate diagnosis → Chapter.
To avoid further damage or misdiagnoses, the following points must be checked and, as necessary, corrected “before” the road test.
t  External damage, such as leaks
t  Basic setting has been performed → Chapter
t  Selector lever cable is correctly adjusted → Chapter
t  → ATF level is correct; → ATF does not smell burnt and is free of foreign particles
t  Engine is running properly
Select a stretch of road for the road test on which all the functions of the gearbox can be evaluated including “shifting, various speeds, driving forwards and reversing”.
