Fault-tracing
Faults which occur in the transmission but do not store any diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) can be mechanically fault traced by carrying out certain
checks and adjustments.
Fault-trace in the following order.
Check the transmission fluid
Check the color. The color must be red or reddish brown. The color must not be pink or cloudy. (Pink and/ or cloudy oil means that coolant has entered
into the transmission).
Check the expansion tank
Check that there is no transmission fluid in the radiator expansion tank (do not confuse it with black engine oil).
Corrective action
The following corrective action must be taken if coolant has entered the transmission:
Replace the transmission assembly according to VADIS
Replace the radiator including the extra cooler, if installed, and the hoses for the transmission.
Clean the expansion tank. Check and replace the expansion tank if necessary.
