Auxiliary Fluid Pump
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 GMC Yukon, 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe, and 2012 Cadillac Escalade. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Install a scan tool.
- Start the engine.
- Inspect the transmission for the proper fluid level. Refer to Transmission Fluid Level and Condition Check .
- Use the scan tool to inspect for any active or stored diagnostic trouble codes. If there are any DTC's refer to that DTC table.
- Inspect the manual linkage at the transmission for proper function.
- Turn the engine OFF, connect Midtronic 165-PSC charger.
- Remove the auxiliary pump pressure test hole plug.
- Install J 45056 oil pressure gauge adapter fitting prior to conncting the oil pressure gauge.
- Install the J 21867 pressure gauge.
- Access the Scan Tool Hybrid Output Controls for the Aux Trans Pump Speed.
- Turn key to the Run Position but do not start the engine.
- Use the scan tool to increase and decrease the Aux Pump Speed in increments of approximately 25%. The scan tool commands the increment values automatically starting with 25% going up to 75% and returning down to 25%. The pump should be allowed to run for 60 seconds at each commanded speed.
- Allow the pressure to stabilize between increments.
- Your pressure readings on the J 21867 pressure gauge should slightly increase with each speed command. The J 21867 pressure gauge at 25% should be approximately 60-70 PSI and end up at 75% being approximately 65-75 PSI.
- If the pressure readings vary greatly, refer to Auxiliary Fluid Pump Pressure High or Low .
- Turn the key OFF.
- Disconnect the J 21867 pressure gauge and remove the J 45056 oil pressure gauge adapter fitting.
- Install the auxiliary pump pressure test hole plug. Tighten the pressure plug to 11 N.m (97 lb in).
WARNING:
Keep the brakes applied at all times in order to prevent unexpected vehicle motion. Personal injury may result if the vehicle moves unexpectedly.
WARNING:
When the transmission is at operating temperatures, take necessary precautions when removing the auxiliary pump pressure test hole plug, to avoid being burned by the catalytic converter.
NOTE:
You may need to remove or disconnect components in order to gain access to the transmission auxiliary pump pressure test hole plug.
NOTE:
In order to achieve accurate aux pump pressure readings, the following procedure must be performed at least 3 times in order to gather uniform pressure readings.
CAUTION:
Refer to Fastener Caution .
