Summary

Service bulletin - Some 9-speed transmission warmers were improperly manufactured and allow the engine coolant and ATF to mix. If the fluids mix, the engine and transmission may be permanently damaged and require replacement. These vehicles previously had the transmission replaced because the transmission warmers leaked. In rare cases, these vehicles may have also overheated but because the issue was under investigation, a standard repair procedure hadn?t been developed. Further action is needed before the vehicle is completely repaired.

DATE INSPECTION
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 ATF WARMER INSPECTION.
If the build date is before or after the date range, go to step 2.

2. Check the client responses on the RO to see if the vehicle overheated.

If the vehicle did not overheat, go to REPAIR PROCEDURE A.
If the vehicle did overheat, go to REPAIR PROCEDURE B.

Page 29 of 78

ATF WARMER INSPECTION
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.

Page 31 of 78

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 may 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 32 of 78

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 C.
- If the transmission warmer leaks and the engine overheated, go to REPAIR PROCEDURE D.
