INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. Check the vehicle for DTC P0741.
•
•
If DTC P0741 is set, go to the REPAIR PROCEDURE.
If DTC P0741 is not set, this service bulletin does not apply; continue with normal troubleshooting.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Replace the torque converter assembly. Refer to the service information in the Search field, type in automatic
transmission removal and installation, then select Automatic Transmission Removal and Installation.
2. After completing the torque converter replacement, check the automatic transmission fluid level.
Automatic Transmission Fluid capacity 2WD:
4.5L (4.8 US qt) at torque converter replacement.
Automatic Transmission Fluid capacity AWD:
5.2L (5.5 US qt) at torque converter replacement.
3. Check the ATF temperature when greater than or equal to 80 degrees C (176 degrees F).
•
•
If the fluid level is checked at a colder temperature, it will read low or on the bottom dot of the dipstick.
If the transmission fluid is filled to the top dot when cold, the transmission will be overfilled, increasing foaming
and contributing to the overheating problem.
