E - LOW PRESSURES
|
| Condition |
Probable
Causes |
Suggested
Remedies |
| Low
Main Pressure in All Ranges |
1.
Transmission fluid level low. |
1.
Add transmission fluid to the proper level. (Be sure
dipstick calibration is correct for specific model.) |
| 2.
Filter element clogged. |
2.
Replace filter or element. |
| 3.
Sealring on transmission fluid intake tube damaged or
missing. |
3.
Install new sealring onto the top end of the intake tube. |
| 4.
Main-pressure regulator valve spring weak. |
4.
Replace spring. |
| 5.
Control valve body leaking. |
5.
Replace or rebuild control valve body assembly. Take
care when removing valve body components to properly
label the components for proper reassembly. |
| |
6.
Valves sticking (trimmer relays and main-pressure regulator). |
6.
Replace or rebuild control valve body assembly. Take
care when removing valve body components to properly
label the components for proper reassembly. |
| |
7.
Input charging pump worn or damaged. |
7.
Replace or rebuild pump. |
| |
8.
Priority valve missing. |
8.
Replace missing valve. |
| Low
Main Pressure in First Range, Normal Pressure in Other
Forward Ranges |
9.
First range circuit leaking in control valve body. |
9.
Replace or rebuild control valve body assembly. |
| 10.
First clutch piston seals leaking. |
10.
Overhaul transmission; replace piston seals. |
| Low
Lubrication Pressure |
11.
Transmission fluid level low. |
11.
Add transmission fluid to the proper level. (Be sure
dipstick calibration is correct for specific model.) |
| 12.
Engine idle speed too low. |
12.
Refer to vehicle service manual. |
| 13.
Cooler lines restricted or leaking. |
13.
Check for kinks, leakage; reroute or replace lines as
necessary. |
| 14.
Lubrication valve spring weak. (Not applicable for AT
models.) |
14.
Replace spring. |
| 15.
Lubrication valve not seating. (Not applicable for AT
models.) |
15.
Replace lubrication valve. |
| 16.
Excessive internal transmission fluid leakage. |
16.
Check other pressures. Check torque on valve body mounting
bolts. |
