Subject:
REMANUFACTURED AUTOMATIC
TRANSAXLE (ATM) PROGRAM

THIS TSB HAS BEEN REVISED TO UPDATE AN OPERATION CODE AND PROCEDURE FOR A SECOND AND SUBSEQUENT ATM REMAN REPLACEMENT ON THE SAME VIN

DESCRIPTION:

The Remanufactured Automatic Transaxle Program has been updated. A new warranty policy allows for in-dealership repairs/replacements of the following components (additions to the previous allowable repairs are shown in bold):

^ Axle seal leaks
^ End clutch
^ Front pump seal, 0-ring and gaskets
^ Kickdown servo
^ Oil pan leaks
^ Oil temperature sensor
^ Pulse generator
^ TCM and/or wiring
^ Solenoids

However, if an internal ATM mechanical condition is diagnosed, remove and replace the ATM with a remanufactured unit. No internal disassembly of the ATM should be performed.

Note:
Second and subsequent ATM reman replacements on the same VIN will require Regional/Technical Hot Line approval/authorization prior to performance of repair.

TRAINING:

A new Automatic Transaxle Troubleshooting and Certification Course (# 451300) superseded previous classes in March, 1996. This class provides detailed instruction on how to properly diagnose, and when to repair or replace, an ATM. Regional approval is necessary when installing remanufactured units if your dealership does not currently employ a Technician who has attended this course.

AFFECTED MODELS:

This program applies to all models except 1986 Excels.

SPECIAL SERVICE TOOLS:

Your dealership must have on hand the following Special Service Tools/supplies:

- ATM Oil Cooler Flushing Tool, Kent-Moore part number J39463. Each remanufactured ATM comes with enough flushing fluid to service one vehicle. Additional flushing fluid may be purchased through your facing PDC, part number 00233-12100.

- Hyundai Automatic Transaxle Tester (Kent-Moore # J39853)

- HDS

- HDS Scan Tool (Kent-Moore # J41490)
