Tester Installation Procedures

Installing the Rotunda Transmission Tester 007-00130 with AX4S cable and overlay 418-F029 (007-00087) or equivalents at the transaxle connector allows the separation of the transaxle electronics from the vehicle electronics.

Testing may cause additional Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) to be set. Therefore, it is important that you erase all DTCs whenever you make repairs. To verify elimination of all DTCs, rerun On-Board Diagnostics (OBD).

Also, disconnecting the normal vehicle electronics causes firm shifts and defaults the transaxle to maximum line pressure.

1. If the vehicle has heat shields, remove them. Always replace them after service.
2. Disconnect vehicle harness at transaxle connector.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to pry off connectors with a screwdriver. This will damage the connector and could result in a transaxle concern.

3. Attach the appropriate overlay from the AX4S cable and overlay 418-F029 (007-00087) or equivalent to the Rotunda Transmission Tester 007-00130.





4. Turn the SOLENOID SELECT dial to OHMS CHECK position.

CAUTION: For resistance checks be sure that the SOLENOID SELECT dial is set to the OHMS CHECK position, or damage to the ohmmeter could result.

5. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the tester and then to the transaxle connector.

CAUTION: Route all cables away from heat sources to prevent damage to cables during testing.

6. Install a 0-2500 kPa (0-300 psi) line pressure gauge into line pressure tap on case.
