Installing the Transaxle Tester

INSTALLING THE TRANSAXLE TESTER (SET UP PROCEDURES)
Installing the transaxle tester at the solenoid body connector allows the separation of the vehicle electronics from the transaxle electronics. Disconnecting the normal vehicle electronics will in itself set additional DTCs and cause firm shifts. (Disconnecting the solenoid body connector defaults the transaxle to maximum line pressure).

NOTE:
^ During tester usage additional DTCs may be set.
^ Therefore, it is important that all DTCs are erased after repairs have been made. To verify elimination of all DTCs, rerun the On-Board Diagnostic Test.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to pry off connectors with a screwdriver. This will damage the connector and could result in a transaxle concern.

1. Disconnect the emission harness at the solenoid body connector and at the TSS connector on the oil pump body in the LH wheel arch.




2. Turn the tester solenoid select switch to the "OHMS CHECK" position.




CAUTION: Route all cables away from heat sources.

3. Install the SST onto tester.
Connect the SST to the transaxle tester and then to the appropriate solenoid body connector and TSS connector.




CAUTION: Route all gauge lines away from heat sources.

4. Connect the SST to the line pressure inspection port.




5. Plug the transaxle tester power supply plug into the cigarette lighter receptacle. At this time, all LED's should illuminate for a short period and then turn off. This is the tester internal circuit check.




6. Set the Bench/Drive switch to "BENCH" mode.
