Transmission replacement, post-checking

Note! The illustrations in this service information are used for different model years and/or models. Some variation may occur. However, the essential information in the illustrations is always correct.

Check

Checks after replacing the transmission
Check the oil level. See: Transmission oil level - checking, B5254T7, AW55-50/51SN Checking Oil Level.

Note! If the transmission is replaced with a new or exchange transmission, it is supplied filled with oil plus a certain amount of "excess". This is to compensate for loss from the oil cooler. The oil level must always be checked however.

Test drive the vehicle. Use the test driving schedule. See: Test drive schedule, description, B5254T7, AW55-50/51SN Test Drive Schedule, Description.

Note! Check that no diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) have been stored during the test drive.

Note! After replacing the transmission, the transmission oil replacement counter must be reset. See: "Transmission oil, replacing".

Returning the transmission (Only when replacing the entire transmission assembly)
Return the old transmission unit.
In order to accurately analyze the transmission fault, information is required about all symptoms which have caused the unit to be replaced. This information must be reported on the "Diagnosis and Check List" form which has been provided. See: Diagnostics check list, B5254T7, AW55-50/51SN Diagnostics Check List.
Make sure that the form has been filled out correctly with all information including the customer remarks.
Copy and place the completed form in a plastic folder behind the torque converter so that it will not fall out.
Send one copy to the importer and retain one copy.
