8.
With the vehicle’s engine running, the ENGINE START should be ON solid. Check the transmission fluid
level. Feel the hoses for heat. Heat in both hoses will verify good
bypass flow
from vehicle, through the unit
and back to vehicle. Transmission fluid will automatically circulate in bypass mode when unit is not on.
If no bypass flow is indicated, DO NOT BEGIN SERVICE.
If the ENGINE START alarm does not sound when the engine is started, or the unit’s alarm sounds and the
ENGINE START light is flashing when the CHANGE FLUID is pressed, bypass flow has
not
been achieved.
Bypass flow
must be achieved by performing one or more of the following procedures (a, b, or c). Also, See
troubleshooting section page 5-1 steps 2, 3 & 4 for additional bypass flow information.
a)
Verify that the vehicle’s parking brake is set, then place the gear lever in
neutral
.
b)
Accelerate and hold the vehicle’s engine to approximately 1,800 RPM.
c)
Verify that the vehicle’s parking brake is set, press and hold the vehicle’s foot brake firmly then place
the gear lever in
drive
.

Transmission Filter Change
:
If the vehicle’s trans filter is to be replaced, perform the following steps before removal of the trans oil pan. If
not, go to step 8 after pushing the CHANGE FLUID button.
a)
Follow steps 1-6, press the
DRAIN
button on the unit’s control panel. Let the engine run until the
unit’s alarm sounds and the LOW VEHICLE FLUID and ENGINE STOP lights are flashing.
This
means that the transmission has emptied most of the fluid from the transmission’s fluid pan. Stop
engine. Press Stop button once.
NOTE: Do not disconnect the power cord from the battery or move the Trans Tech
.
CAUTION
Do not let the engine run for more than one
minute after the Low Vehicle Fluid light has lit,
indicating a low fluid level in the transmission.
Letting the transmission run for an extended
period of time without fluid can cause serious
damage to internal components.
b)
Replace or clean the vehicle’s transmission fluid filter and reinstall the transmission’s oil pan
following outside manufacturer’s recommendations.
c)
Press the
CHANGE FLUID
button. The unit will begin filling the vehicle’s transmission
corresponding to the amount of fluid previously emptied into the unit’s WASTE tank.
d)
Start the vehicle’s engine
as soon as
the beep tone sounds and the ENGINE START light flashes.

Continue with the service until all fluid has been exchanged and the unit stops automatically. The COMPLETE
light will come on and unit will beep continuously until STOP is pushed.
