Inspection and Verification
NOTICE:
When internal wear/damage occurs in the transmission, metal
particles, clutch plate material and band material can travel into the
torque converter, the transmission fluid cooler tubes, the transmission
fluid cooler, the transmission fluid warmer (if equipped), and the
cooler bypass valve (if equipped). These contaminants are a major cause
of recurring transmission concerns. To prevent future concerns, remove
these contaminants from the cooling system before placing the
transmission back into use.
-
Verify the customer concern by operating the vehicle to duplicate the condition.
-
If the inspection reveals obvious concerns that can be readily identified, repair as necessary.
-
Install new components if a transmission fluid leak is found in any of the transmission cooling components.
-
If the cause is not visually evident, check for DTC.
REFER to: DTC Chart and Pinpoint Tests - 3.0L EcoBoost – Hybrid (BQ) (307-01B Automatic Transmission - 10-Speed Automatic Transmission – 10R80 MHT, Diagnosis and Testing).
-
If the cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the Symptom Chart.

Symptom |
Possible Sources |
Action |
NOTE:
NVH symptoms should be identified using the diagnostic
tools that are available. For a list of these tools, an explanation of
their uses and a glossary of common terms, refer to Section 100-04.
Since it is possible any one of multiple systems may be the cause of a
symptom, it may be necessary to use a process of elimination type of
diagnostic approach to pinpoint the responsible system. If this is not
the causal system for the symptom, refer back to Section 100-04 for the
next likely system and continue diagnosis.
|
- Vibration - a high frequency (20-80 Hz) that is felt through the seat or selector lever. Changes with engine speed
|
- Transmission fluid cooler tubes grounded out
|
- CHECK the transmission fluid cooler tubes. REPAIR as necessary.

Pinpoint Tests
PINPOINT TEST A : DTCS P2681 AND P2683
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 29 for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The PCM
provides power to the transmission fluid warmer engine coolant bypass
valve when the transmission fluid is above a calibrated temperature.
When the valve is energized, the valve opens allowing engine coolant to
flow to the transmission fluid cooler.

Check Transmission Fluid Level and Condition
Transmission Fluid Level Check
To check the transmission fluid level,
REFER to: Transmission Fluid Level Check (307-01B Automatic Transmission - 10-Speed Automatic Transmission – 10R80 MHT, General Procedures).
High Transmission Fluid Level
A
transmission fluid level that is too high may cause the transmission
fluid to become aerated due to the churning action of the rotating
internal parts. This will cause erratic control pressure, foaming, loss
of transmission fluid from the vent tube and possible transmission
malfunction and/or damage.
Low Transmission Fluid Level
A
low transmission fluid level could result in poor transmission
engagement, slipping, malfunction and/or damage. This could also
indicate a leak in one of the transmission seals or gaskets.
Transmission Fluid Condition Check
-
Check the transmission fluid level.
REFER to: Transmission Fluid Level Check (307-01B Automatic Transmission - 10-Speed Automatic Transmission – 10R80 MHT, General Procedures).
-
Place a drop of transmission fluid on a facial tissue and examine the stain.
-
If evidence of solid material is found, the transmission fluid pan should be removed for further inspection.
-
If transmission fluid contamination or transmission
failure is confirmed by the sediment in the bottom of the transmission
fluid pan, repair the transmission and clean the transmission fluid
cooler tubes and the transmission fluid cooler.
-
If the transmission is to be overhauled or if installing
a new transmission, the transmission fluid cooler must be backflushed.
REFER to: Transmission Fluid Cooler - Backflushing and Cleaning (307-02B Transmission Cooling - 10-Speed Automatic Transmission – 10R80 MHT, General Procedures).
