Checking the oil pressure in the automatic transmission Remove the air filter unit. Remove the bolt (1). Attention. Clean pressure gauge hose 1 before each use: different brands of automatic transmission oils must not be mixed with each other. Screw the connecting fitting 2...
Draining, filling and checking the level of automatic transmission oil Pouring cylinder Drain Note. Draining the oil from the gearbox must be carried out at a temperature of at least 60°C to remove dirt suspended in the oil. Draining of the oil is partially impossible to completely drain...
Diagnosis of possible oil leaks in automatic transmission AL4 Attention. Violation of the tightness of the automatic transmission leads to its destruction. Attention. Removing the seal (13) each time results in the need to adjust the internal hydraulic unit selection lever (see...
Transmission Input Shaft Speed Sensor The speed sensor is located at the transmission input shaft, which is connected to the torque converter turbine. The sensor sends information to the transmission ECU about the input speed to the transmission. This...
Gearbox outlet speed sensor The sensor is located on the gearbox opposite the drive gear teeth. The sensor sends information about the speed of the output shaft to the transmission ECU. Based on this information, the transmission ECU decides to...
Transmission oil temperature sensor The hydraulic fluid temperature sensor is built into the hydraulic unit. Note. The sensor is welded directly to the internal harness of the hydraulic unit and requires the harness assembly to be replaced when it is...
Gearbox oil level and temperature sensor The sensor is located on the gearbox housing. The sensor allows you to inform the transmission ECU about the pressure of the working fluid in the pressure line. Based on this information, the ECU adjusts the pressure of...
Downshift sensor («Kickdown») The sensor is located above the accelerator cable (from the shield side). The sensor detects how much the driver presses the accelerator pedal. This information allows the ECU to downshift («Kick-down»). The downshift...
Pressure change solenoid valves 7 - main solenoid valve for pressure change. 8 - pressure modulation solenoid valve (lock clutch). Electrovalves are built into the hydraulic unit. Solenoid valve (7) changes the pressure in the pressure line depending...
Heat Exchanger Flow Control Solenoid Valve (EPDE) Solenoid valve built into the gearbox (from the side of the heat exchanger). The solenoid valve allows: modulate the flow rate of the working fluid passing through the heat exchanger; optimize the gearbox heating time;...
Gear selector The range selector lever allows you to select 6 positions: «R» - parking (blocking); «R» - reverse gear; «N» - neutral (car wheels are not blocked); «D» - automatic control (from 1st to 4th range); «3» - forced transfer...
Executive element for locking the gear selector lever in the «P» position Position lock actuator «R» built into the selector mechanism. This protection function obliges the driver to press the brake pedal to move the selector lever from the position «R» V «R». The drive is an electromagnet...
Automatic gearbox program selector The program selector is located on the center console, to the left of the selector lever. This information tells the transmission ECU the driver's choice. Two switches allow you to select one of the three available...
Multifunction switch The multi-function switch is built into the gearbox and is actuated by the selector lever via the gear selector rod. The multifunction switch allows you to: interrupt power to the starter excitation relay if the...
Stop signal switch Contactor «stop signal» installed on the pedal platform or on the pedal assembly (depending on vehicle). Switch «brake lights» provides: the inclusion of a downshift when exposed to the brake pedal; unlocking the...
Diagnosis of automatic transmission AL4 Attention. Before proceeding with the repair of the gearbox, perform diagnostics by reading errors from the memory of the electronic engine control unit. Note. For any damage or malfunction of the automatic...
Control of electrical connections Check 1 (program selector) Check 2 (reversing light control) Check 3 (sound signal to move the lever to the position «R» (ignition key lock) Check 4 (oil temperature too high) If the oil temperature exceeds the limit...
