ATF Flush

ATF Flush

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing and Information System ( VAS 5051B) with diagnostic cable

• ATF filler system F/CVT transmission (VAS 5162)

• Triple square socket driver (3357)

• Drip tray

• Protective glasses

Procedure

• Transmission installed.

With normal ATF change, only about 55 to 60% of total ATF in transmission is replaced.

The "ATF flush" is necessary when old ATF in the transmission must be removed completely.

ATF must always be flushed with following procedures:

• Changing input shaft

• Servicing input shaft

In addition, test run must be performed 2 times and afterwards ATF must be changed, as described below.

Only by doing this will ATF in transmission be changed completely.

CAUTION!
If all these steps are not followed completely, transmission components will be damaged.

- After installing transmission: => [ ATF, Filling for ATF Flush ] ATF, Filling for ATF Flush.

CAUTION!
• After installing transmission with new disc pack or input shaft, the Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing and Information System (VAS 5051B ) must check before first drive whether or not update programming in Transmission Control Module (TCM) (J217) must be carried out.

• If update programming is needed but not carried out, transmission components will be damaged.

• If update programming is not needed but carried out, transmission components will be damaged.

Check whether update programming in Transmission Control Module (TCM) (J217) must be carried out:

• The vehicle diagnosis, testing, and information system (VAS 5051B) is connected.

- Vehicle specific access to Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing, and Information System (VAS 5051B) in "Guided Fault Finding".

- Using Go to button, select "Complaint registration " function in test plan and find following selection:





- Press " Transfer" text line and select test program " Jerking when accelerating from stop".

• Through this process in Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing, and Information System (VAS 5051B) update programming is only carried out for the control module for automatic transmissions (J217 ) if this is necessary.

- If necessary, carrying out update programming in the control module for automatic transmissions (J217).

CAUTION!
If all steps are not carried out in correct order or followed exactly, transmission components will be damaged.

- => [ Input Shaft Adjustment, Air Gap, Checking ] Procedures

- First test run pass through: => [ ATF Flush, Testing ] 01J,0AN Continuously Variable Transmission.

- Second test run pass through: => [ ATF Flush, Testing ] 01J,0AN Continuously Variable Transmission.

- Check ATF level and add.

• Observe all notes and test requirements for "Checking ATF level and topping off".

After ATF level is checked and restored, flushing process is complete.
