OIL COOLER FLUSHING & FLOW CHECK
| CAUTION | Flushing Solution (J-35944-22) is environmentally safe, yet powerful enough to cut through transmission fluid to dislodge any contaminants from the cooler. The safety precautions on the label regarding potential skin and eye irritations associated with prolonged exposure are typical precautions that apply to many similar cleaning solutions. It should be noted that according to General Motors, use of other non-approved fluids for cooler flushing can have an adverse reaction to the seals inside the transmission. |
Note. DO NOT use solutions that contain alcohol or glycol. Use of solutions that contain alcohol or glycol may damage flushing equipment, oil cooler components and/or transmission components.
Preparation
- After the repair or replacement transmission is installed in the vehicle, DO NOT reconnect the oil cooler pipes.
- Remove the fill cap (9) on the Transmission Oil Cooler and Line Flusher (J-35944-A) and fill the flusher tank (4) with 20-21 oz. (0.6L) of flushing solution using the measuring cup (6). DO NOT overfill.
- Install the fill cap (9) on the flusher and pressurize the flusher tank (4) to 80-100 psi (550-700 kPa), using the shop air supply at the tank air valve (9). (Scheme 7)
- With the water supply valve (1) on the flusher in the OFF position, connect the water supply hose (7) from the flusher to the water supply at the faucet. (Scheme 7)and (Scheme 8).
- Turn ON the water supply at the faucet.
Scheme 7
Scheme 8
Back Flush
- Inspect the transmission oil cooler pipes for kinks or damage. Repair as necessary.
- Connect the transmission oil cooler and line flusher to the oil cooler feed bottom connector. Use the Cooler Flushing Adapter (J 35944-200), if required.
- Clip the discharge hose (5) onto the oil drain container. (Scheme 8)
- Attach the flusher to the undercarriage of the vehicle with the hook provided and connect the flushing system feed supply hose (3) from the flusher to the top connector oil cooler return pipe. Use the cooler flushing adapter, if required.
- Turn the flusher water supply valve (1) to the ON position and allow water to flow through the oil cooler and pipes for 10 seconds to remove any remaining transmission fluid. If water does not flow through the oil cooler and pipes, the cause of the blockage must be diagnosed and the plugged component must be repaired or replaced. Continue with the cooler flushing and flow check procedure once the blockage is corrected.
- Turn the flusher water supply valve (1) to the OFF position and clip the discharge hose onto a 5 gallon pail with a lid, to avoid splashback. NOTE: Flushing for approximately 2 minutes in each cooler line direction will result in a total of about 8-10 gallons of waste fluid. This mixture of water and flushing fluid is to be captured in a bucket or similar container.
- Turn the flusher water supply valve (1) to the ON position and depress the trigger (8) to mix cooler flushing solution into the water flow. Use the clip provided on the handle to hold the trigger (8) down. (Scheme 9) The discharge will foam vigorously when the solution is introduced into the water stream.
- Flush the oil cooler and pipes with water and solution for 2 minutes. During this flush, attach the shop air supply 120 psi (825 kPa) to the flushing system feed air valve (2) located on the flusher, for 3-5 seconds at the end of every 15-20 second interval to create a surging action.
- Release the trigger (8) and turn the flusher water supply valve (1) to the OFF position.
Scheme 9
Forward Flush
- Disconnect both hoses (3 and 5) from the oil cooler pipes and connect them to the opposite oil cooler pipe. (Scheme 8) This will allow the oil cooler and pipes to be flushed in the normal flow direction.
- Repeat Steps 6 and 7 of BACK FLUSH procedure.
- Release the trigger (8) of the transmission oil cooler and line flusher and allow water only to rinse the oil cooler and pipes for one minute. (Scheme 9)
- Turn the flusher water supply valve (1) to the OFF position and turn OFF the water supply at the faucet.
- Attach the shop air supply to the flushing system feed air valve (2) on the flusher and blow out the water from the oil cooler and pipes. Continue, until no water comes out of the discharge hose.
Flow Test
Note. The Flow Test must be performed after the flush to ensure that all flushing solution and water is removed from the oil cooling system.
- Disconnect the hose from the oil cooler pipe. Connect the oil cooler feed pipe, bottom connector, to the transmission for normal flow.
- Clip the discharge hose (1) to an empty oil container. (Scheme 10)
- Confirm the transmission is filled with automatic transmission fluid. See «FLUID CAPACITIES»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/automatic-trans/#automatic-transmission-4l60-e4l65-e-servicing__fluid-capacities) for correct fluid capacity.
- Start the engine with the transmission in Park range and run for 30 seconds after fluid begins to flow from the discharge hose (1). A minimum of 2 qt (1.9 L) must be discharged during this 30 second run time.
- If the fluid flow meets or exceeds 2 qts (1.9 L) in 30 seconds, connect the oil cooler feed pipe to the bottom connector on the transmission.
- If fluid flow is less than 2 qt (1.9 L) in 30 seconds, perform the following diagnosis: Disconnect the transmission oil cooler and line flusher discharge hose (1) from the oil cooler return pipe. Disconnect the oil cooler feed pipe at the radiator. Connect the flusher discharge hose (1) to the oil cooler feed pipe, radiator end. Clip the discharge hose (1) onto the oil drain container. Start the engine with the transmission in Park range and run for 30 seconds after fluid begins to flow from the discharge hose (1). A minimum of 2 qt (1.9 L) must be discharged during this 30 second run time.
- If the amount of transmission fluid flow remains less than 2 qt (1.9 L) in 30 seconds, inspect the oil cooler feed pipe, bottom connector, for restrictions or damage. If no condition is found with the feed pipe, bottom connector, inspect the transmission.
Scheme 10
Clean-Up
- Disconnect the water supply hose from the transmission oil cooler and line flusher and bleed any remaining air pressure from the flusher tank.
- Remove the fill cap from the flusher and return any unused flushing solution to its container. Rinse the flusher with water. DO NOT store the flusher with flushing solution in it.
- After every third use, clean the flusher as described in the instructions included with the tool.
- Dispose of any waste water/solution and transmission fluid in accordance with local regulations.
