INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. Inspect the date on the transmission warmer. The affected transmission warmers were built between April 28, 2015
(2015-04-28) and July 15, 2015 (2015-07-15).
•
•
If the build date is within the date range, go to REPAIR PROCEDURE A.
If the build date is before or after the date range, no further action is needed. Return the vehicle to the client.
Page 16 of 50
REPAIR PROCEDURE A
1. Raise the vehicle on a lift.
2. Remove the splash shield. Refer to the service information.
3. Remove the air cleaner. Refer to the service information.
4. Remove the intake air guide. Refer to the service information.
5. Remove the 12-volt battery. Refer to the service information.
6. Remove the battery box. Refer to the service information.
7. Remove the connector bracket. Refer to the service information.
8. Using commercially-available clamps, pinch off the coolant hoses.
9. Remove the coolant hoses from the transmission warmer.
10. Clean the connection points around the transmission fluid warmer pipes.

Page 18 of 50
12. Remove the 3 hold down bolts and 2 fixing plate bolts to remove the transmission warmer. Place the warmer on a
clean surface.
13. Prepare the transmission warmer to check for leaks.
•
•
•
•
Remove the original ATF lines from the warmer.
NOTE: Be careful not to damage the lines as you will reuse them.
Install the pressure check tool as shown with the fixing plates and torque the bolts to 10 N·m (7 lb-ft).
Fill a bucket with warm water.
Connect shop air to pressurize the warmer and adjust the pressure check tool to 70 psi.
Page 19 of 50
14. Check the transmission warmer for leaks by submerging the warmer completely under the water and watching for
bubbles.
•
•
NOTE: Some bubbles are normal when the transmission warmer is first submerged and will come to a stop.
If there is a leak, there will be a steady stream of bubbles coming from the transmission warmer.
If there are no bubbles coming from the warmer, continue with the warmer replacement. Go to step 15.
If there are bubbles, take photos (see Photos) and check to see if the vehicle also overheated by checking the
client responses on the RO.
- If the transmission warmer leaks, but the engine did not overheat, go to REPAIR PROCEDURE B.
- If the transmission warmer leaks, and the engine overheated, go to REPAIR PROCEDURE C.
