Introduction to A/T Diagnosis




INTRODUCTION TO A/T DIAGNOSIS

When the A/T is failed, have an interview with the user to gather precise information on the failure status. After that, perform on-board test to check if the failure is reproduced, and then start repair work. If the repair work is started on the assumption that the A/T is the failure cause from the beginning, the cause would not be investigated, and moreover, the secondary failure may be caused, resulting in a waste of repair time.
Failures regarding the A/T are categorized as follows.
1. Poor adjustment, poor installation between the engine and body, and malfunction due to non-genuine device installation
2. Poor engine performance
3. Malfunction of the electronic control device
4. Malfunction of the A/T inside (hydraulic control system, etc.)
5. Others (oil leakage, damage, etc.)
