Drive the vehicle until the fluid temperature rises to the normal temperature (70-80°C).

Park the vehicle on a level surface.

Move the selector lever through all positions to fill the torque converter and the hydraulic circuits with fluid, and then move the selectorlever to the N position.

After wiping off any dirt around the oil level gauge, reinsert and remove the oil level gauge and check the condition of the fluid.

Check that the fluid level is at the HOT mark on the oil level gauge. If the fluid level is lower than this, add more fluid until the level reachesthe HOT mark.

Automatic transaxle fluid : GENUINE HYUNDAI ATF SP-III.

Insert the oil level gauge securely.

The fluid and the oil filters should always be replaced when overhauling the transaxle or after the vehicle has been driven under severe conditions. The replacement procedures are given below. Furthermore, the oil filters are special filters which are only to be used for the automatic transaxle.

Remove the drain plug from the bottom of the transaxle case to drain the fluid.

Install the drain plug and gasket, and tighten to the specified torque.

Pour the new fluid in through the oil filler tube.

Repeat the procedure in step 1 if too much fluid was added.

Reconnect the hose that was disconnected in step 1 above, and firmly replace the oil level gauge.

Start the engine and run it at idle for 1-2 minutes.

Move the select lever through all positions, and then move it to the N position.

Drive the vehicle until the fluid temperature rises to the normal temperature (70-80°C), and then check the fluid level again. The fluidlevel must be at the HOT Mark.

Firmly insert the oil level gauge into the oil filler tube.

Set the selector lever to the "N" position.

Loosen the control cable to the manual control lever coupling nut to free the cable and lever.

Set the manual control lever to the neutral position.

Loosen the transaxle range switch body mounting bolts and then turn the transaxle range switch body so the hole in the end of the manual control lever and the hole (cross section A-A in the figure) in the flange of thetransaxle range switch body flange are aligned.

Tighten the transaxle range switch body mounting bolts to the specified torque. Be careful at this time that the position of the switch body doesnot change.

Gently pull the transaxle control cable in the direction of the arrow, then tighten the adjusting nut.

Check that the selector lever is in the "N" position.

Check that each range on the transaxle side operates and functions correctly for each position of the selector lever.

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR CHECK.

The TPS is a variable resistor type that rotates with the throttle body shaft to sense the throttle valve angle. As the throttle shaft rotates, the output voltage of the TPS changes. The ECM detects the throttle valve openingbased on voltage change. (Refer to FL-section).

OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR CHECK

VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR CHECK

B.

Turn the shaft of the vehicle speed sensor and check that there is voltage between terminals 2-3 (1 turn=4 pulses).

A/T CONTROL RELAY CHECK

SOLENOID VALVE CHECK

B.

Disconnect the connectors of each solenoid valve.

C.

Measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of each solenoid valve.

Standard value :

Name	Resistance
Damper clutch solenoid valve	2.7-3.4Ω (at 20°C)
Low and reverse solenoid valve
Second solenoid valve
Underdrive solenoid valve
Overdrive solenoid valve

D.

If the resistance is outside the standard value, replace the solenoid valve.

note

Resistance of the solenoid valve connector.

Terminal No.	Name	Resistance
7 & 10	Damper clutch solenoid valve	2.7-3.4Ω (at 20°C)
10 & 6	Low and reverse solenoid valve
9 &4	Second solenoid valve
9 & 3	Underdrive solenoid valve
9 & 5	Overdrive solenoid valve

Check the automatic transaxle fluid level and temperature, and the engine coolant temperature.

Chock both rear wheels (left and right).

Apply the parking brake lever with the brake pedal fully depressed.

Start the engine.

Move the selector lever to the D position, fully depress the accelerator pedal and take a reading of the maximum engine speed at this time.

Stall speed is too high in both D and R ranges

Stall speed is too high in D range only

Stall speed is too high in R range only

Stall speed too low in both D and R ranges

B.

Insufficient engine output

Warm up the engine until the automatic transaxle fluid temperature is 80-100°C.

Jack up the vehicle so that the wheels are free to turn.

Connect the special tool (oil pressure gauge) to each pressure discharge port.

Measure the hydraulic pressure at each port under the conditions given in the standard hydraulic pressure table, and check that the measuredvalues are within the standard value ranges.

If a value is outside the standard range, correct the problem while referring to the hydraulic pressure test diagnosis table.
