DIAGNOSTIC FLOW CHART

The following items must be checked prior to beginning the diagnostic procedures

Road Testing Vehicle

Note. Always drive the vehicle in a safe manner according to driving conditions and obey all traffic laws.

The Shift Point Road Test and Torque Converter Clutch Operation Test provide diagnostic information on transaxle shift controls and torque converter operation.

Shift Point Road Test

This test verifies that the shift control system is operating correctly.

Bring engine and transaxle up to normal operating temperature.
Operate the vehicle with the selector lever in the D position (overdrive switch ON).
Apply minimum throttle and observe the speeds at which upshift occurs and torque converter engages. Refer to «SHIFT SPEEDS CHART»(ref-278257-S32385919152008012400000) for the appropriate final drive ratio.
Stop the vehicle. Select the D position (overdrive switch OFF). Repeat Step 3. The transaxle will make all upshifts, except 3rd to 4th, and torque converter clutch (TCC) apply should occur above 80 km/h (50 mph).
Press the accelerator pedal to the floor, wide open throttle (WOT). The transaxle should shift from 3rd to 2nd, or 3rd to 1st, depending on vehicle speed, and TCC should release.
With vehicle speed above 48 km/h (30 mph), move the selector lever from D position to L position and release the accelerator pedal. The transaxle should immediately downshift to 2nd gear. When vehicle speed drops below 32 km/h (20 mph), the transaxle should downshift into 1st gear.
If transaxle fails to upshift/downshift or torque converter clutch does not apply/release, refer to «Diagnosis By Symptom»(ref-278257-S14289017952008012400000) for possible causes.

Visual Inspection

This inspection will identify modifications or additions to the vehicle operating system that may affect diagnosis. Inspect the vehicle for non-Ford factory add-on devices such as

Electronic add-on items: A/C generator (alternator) engine turbo cellular telephone cruise control CB radio linear booster backup alarm signal computer
Vehicle modification

These items, if not installed correctly, will affect the PCM, or transaxle function. Pay particular attention to add-on wiring splices in the PCM harness or transaxle wiring harness, abnormal tire size, or axle ratio changes.

Leaks; refer to «Leakage Inspection»(ref-278257-S42928777702008012400000) .
Correct selector lever linkage adjustments; refer to «AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION EXTERNAL CONTROLS»(ref-278265) article.

Carry Out On-Board Diagnostics (Key ON Engine OFF [KOEO], Key ON Engine Running [KOER])

After a road test, with the vehicle warm and before disconnecting any connectors, carry out the Self Test using scan tool. Refer to the Introduction - Gasoline Engines article for diagnosis and testing of the PCM.

Special Tools Illustration Tool Name Tool Number Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) and Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) software with appropriate hardware, or equivalent scan tool

Diagnosing an electronically controlled automatic transaxle is simplified using the following procedures. It is important to remember that there is a definite procedure to follow. Do not take short cuts or assume that critical checks or adjustments have already been made. Follow the procedures as written to avoid missing critical components or steps. By following the diagnostic sequence, the technician will be able to diagnose and repair the concern the first time.

On-Board Diagnostics with Scan Tool

Note. For detailed instruction and other diagnostic methods using the scan tool, refer to the tester and the Introduction - Gasoline Engines article.

These quick tests should be used to diagnose the PCM and should be carried out in order.

Self Test - Key ON, Engine OFF (KOEO)
Self Test - Continuous Memory
Self Test - Key ON, Engine running (KOER)
PCM Reset Mode
Clearing DTCs
OBD II Drive Cycle
Other Scan Tool Features

For further information on other diagnostic testing features using the scan tool, refer to the Introduction - Gasoline Engines article. Other diagnostic methods include the following

PID Access Mode
Freeze Frame Data Access Mode
Oxygen Sensor Monitor Mode

Transaxle Drive Cycle Test

Note. Always drive the vehicle in a safe manner according to driving conditions and obey all traffic laws.

Note. The Transaxle Drive Cycle Test must be followed exactly. Transaxle failure must occur 4 times consecutively for shift error DTC to be set, and 5 times consecutively for continuous torque converter clutch (TCC) code to set.

Note. When carrying out the Transaxle Drive Cycle Test, refer to the SOLENOID OPERATION CHART - CONVERTER ENGAGED and SOLENOID OPERATION CHART - CONVERTER DISENGAGED Solenoid for correct solenoid operation.

After carrying out the Self Test, use the Transaxle Drive Cycle Test for checking continuous codes.

Record and then erase Self Test DTCs.
Warm engine to normal operating temperature.
Make sure transmission fluid level is correct.
With transaxle in O/D position, moderately accelerate from stop to 80 km/h (50 mph). This allows the transaxle to shift into 4th gear. Hold speed and throttle open steady for a minimum of 15 seconds.
With transaxle in 4th gear and maintaining steady speed and throttle opening, lightly apply and release brake to operate stop lamps. Then hold speed and throttle steady for a minimum of 5 seconds.
Brake to a stop and remain stopped for a minimum of 20 seconds.
Repeat Steps 4 through 6 at least 5 times.
Carry out Self Test and record continuous DTCs.

After On-Board Diagnostics

Note. The vehicle wiring harness, PCM and non-transaxle sensors may affect transaxle operations. Repair these concerns first.

After the on-board diagnostic procedures are completed, repair all DTCs.

Begin with non-transaxle related DTCs, then repair any transaxle related DTCs. Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Charts for information on condition and symptoms. This chart will be helpful in referring to the correct aids in diagnosing internal transaxle concerns and external non-transaxle inputs. The pinpoint tests are used in diagnosing transaxle electrical concerns. Make sure that the vehicle wiring harness and the PCM are diagnosed as well. The INTRODUCTION -- GASOLINE ENGINES article will aid in diagnosing non-transaxle electronic components.

Leak Check Test

Original factory fill fluid is dyed red to aid in determining if leakage is from the engine or transaxle. The red color should assist in pinpointing the leak.
Clean off any fluid from the top and bottom of the torque converter housing, the case and the rear face of the engine and oil pan. Clean the torque converter area by washing with a suitable nonflammable solvent and blow dry with compressed air.
Wash out the torque converter housing, and the front of the flexplate. The torque converter housing may be washed out using cleaning solvent and a squirt-type oil can. Blow all washed areas dry with compressed air.
Start and run the engine until the transaxle reaches its normal operating temperature. Observe the back of the cylinder block and the top of the torque converter housing for evidence of fluid leakage. Raise the vehicle on a hoist; refer to «JACKING AND LIFTING»(ref-278237) article and run the engine at fast idle, then at engine idle, occasionally shifting to the D and R positions to increase pressure within the transaxle. Observe the front of the flexplate, back of the cylinder block (in as far as possible), and inside the torque converter housing and front of the case. Run the engine until fluid leakage is evident and the probable source of leakage can be determined.

Leak Check Test With Black Light

Automatic Transmission/Power Steering Dye 164-R3701 or equivalent (specifically formulated for ATF) is used to detect a transmission fluid leak.

Add Automatic Transmission/Power Steering Dye to the transmission fluid. Use one 30.0 mL (1 oz) of dye solution for every 3.8L (4 qt.) of transmission fluid.
Start and run the engine until the transaxle reaches its normal operating temperature. Observe the back of the cylinder block and top of the torque converter housing for evidence of fluid leakage. Raise the vehicle on a hoist and run the engine at fast idle, occasionally shifting to the DRIVE and REVERSE ranges to increase pressure within the transaxle. Observe the front of the flexplate, back of the cylinder block (in as far as possible), inside the torque converter housing and the entire case until fluid leakage is evident and the probable source of leakage can be determined.

Transmission Fluid Cooler Flow Test

Note. The selector lever linkage adjustment, transmission fluid level and line pressure must be within specification before carrying out this test. Refer to AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION EXTERNAL CONTROLS article for selector lever linkage adjustment procedure. For transmission fluid level checking procedures, refer to Preliminary Inspection . For transaxle line pressure testing, refer to Special Testing Procedures .

Check the transmission fluid level and fill as necessary.
Remove the transmission fluid level indicator from the transmission fluid filler tube and install the funnel in the transmission fluid filler tube.
With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. Refer to «JACKING AND LIFTING»(ref-278237) article. Inspect the transmission fluid cooler tubes for damage. Install new transmission fluid cooler tubes as needed.
Disconnect the transmission fluid cooler return hose from the transmission fluid cooler return tube.
Plug the transmission fluid cooler return hose to avoid transmission fluid loss.
Connect one end of a hose to the cooler return tube and route the other end of the hose up to a point where it can be inserted into the funnel at the transmission fluid filler tube.
Start the engine and run at idle with the transaxle in NEUTRAL range until the transmission fluid is warm. Temperature is important to the flow rate measurement. Once the transmission fluid flow no longer has air bubbles in it, remove the rubber hose from the funnel and insert it into a liter container. As soon as 0.95L (1 qt) is dispensed into the container, install the hose into the funnel. One quart of transmission fluid should flow through the cooling system in approximately 17-21 seconds.
Once adequate flow is determined, shut off the engine, remove the extension hose and reassemble the cooler tubes with the constant tension clamp.
If flow is not adequate, stop the engine. Disconnect the hose from the transmission fluid cooler return tube and connect it to the converter-out tube. If flow is now liberal, install a new transmission fluid cooler. Refer to «TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION COOLING»(ref-278310) article.
Check the transmission fluid level and adjust as required.
