E - LOW PRESSURES |
|
Condition |
Probable Causes |
Suggested Remedies |
|
Low Main Pressure in All Ranges |
1. Transmission fluid level low. |
1. Add transmission fluid to the
proper level. (Be sure dipstick calibration is correct for specific
model.) |
|
2. Filter element clogged. |
2. Replace filter or element. |
|
3. Sealring on transmission fluid
intake tube damaged or missing. |
3. Install new sealring onto the
top end of the intake tube. |
|
4. Main-pressure regulator valve
spring weak. |
4. Replace spring. |
|
5. Control valve body leaking. |
5. Replace or rebuild control valve
body assembly. Take care when removing valve body components
to properly label the components for proper reassembly. |
|
|
6. Valves sticking (trimmer relays
and main-pressure regulator). |
6. Replace or rebuild control valve
body assembly. Take care when removing valve body components
to properly label the components for proper reassembly. |
|
|
7. Input charging pump worn or damaged. |
7. Replace or rebuild pump. |
|
|
8. Priority valve missing. |
8. Replace missing valve. |
|
Low Main Pressure
in First Range, Normal Pressure in Other Forward Ranges |
9. First range circuit leaking in
control valve body. |
9. Replace or rebuild control valve
body assembly. |
|
10. First clutch piston seals leaking. |
10. Overhaul transmission; replace
piston seals. |
|
Low Lubrication
Pressure |
11. Transmission fluid level low. |
11. Add transmission fluid to the
proper level. (Be sure dipstick calibration is correct for specific
model.) |
|
12. Engine idle speed too low. |
12. Refer to vehicle service manual. |
|
13. Cooler lines restricted or leaking. |
13. Check for kinks, leakage; reroute
or replace lines as necessary. |
|
14. Lubrication valve spring weak.
(Not applicable for AT models.) |
14. Replace spring. |
|
15. Lubrication valve not seating.
(Not applicable for AT models.) |
15. Replace lubrication valve. |
|
16. Excessive internal transmission
fluid leakage. |
16. Check other pressures. Check
torque on valve body mounting bolts. |
