The basic components of the power train are engine
(4), Transmission (3), U-Joint(2), Drive axle(1) and the
final drives and wheels.
Two axle shafts connect the differential to two final
drives. The drive wheels are mounted to the final
drives.
Power from the engine goes through the flywheel into
the torque converter. Power then flows through a
transmission (3) and U-joint(2) to yoke of
drive axle(1).
The transmission has two hydraulically operated clutch
packs that are spring released.
The transmission has one speed in forward and one
speed in reverse.

Power from yoke of drive axle is sent through a spiral
bevel gear set to the differential.
The differential sends power out through the axles to
the final drives and wheels.
There is no direct mechanical connection between
engine and the transmission. Power from the engine is
transferred through the torque converter, which
hydraulically connects the engine to the transmission.
Transmission drive train oil is used to turn the turbine
and transmission input shaft.
When the lift truck works against a load, the torque
converter can multiply the torque from the engine and
send a higher torque to the transmission.

The torque converter has four main parts : housing (4),
impeller(pump) (3), turbine(1) and stator(2). The
housing is connected to the engine flywheel through a
flexplate. Impeller (3) and housing (4) are welded
together and turn with the engine flywheel at engine
speed and in the direction of engine rotation. Turbine
(1) turns the transmission input shaft. Stator (2) is
installed stationary on stator support (5) by a
freewheel clutch that allows one way rotation of the
stator.
The hub, which is part of impeller (3), fits into the
transission oil pump. The turning impeller (3) rotates
the pump to supply oil for the operation of the torque
converter and transmission
When the engine is turning, oil flows through the
converter to lubricate and cool it. With the
transmission in neutral, the impeller, turbine, stator
and oil are all turning together in a direct fluid coupling.
The turbine/impeller speed ratio is 1/1.
Once a direction is selected the direct fluid coupling no
longer exists, the turbine/impeller speed ratio changes
(the turbine will be turning slower than the impeller).
When this happens the impeller outlet pressure to
turbine inlet pressure changes. This causes the oil
flow in the torus (fluid path containing the impeller,
turbine and stator) to gain momentum.
As impeller (3) turns, it increases the energy state of
the oil and directs the oil to the outside diameter of
converter housing (4). Oil leaving impeller (3) is
directed to turbine (1) where much of the oil? energy is
absorbed by turning the turbine. The pressure and
flow change in the torus becomes torque and speed at
the turbine and transmission input shaft.
Oil follows the turbine blades inward toward the center
of the converter. When the turbine/impeller speed ratio
is less than .85/1, oil is directed against the concave
side of stator (2) with enough force to stop its one way
rotation and lock the freewheel clutch.
Most of the energy from the oil that strikes the turbine
is used to turn the turbine, but some energy is left over.
Torque multiplication comes about because the locked
stator (2) directs this left over oil back to impeller (3) in
the same direction as the impeller rotation. This
energy force of the oil increases the torque on the
turbine and transmission input shaft. During operation,
this cycle is repeated over and over.
Without the stator, oil leaving the turbine is travelling in
a direction that is against impeller rotation. Torque
multiplication is only possible because of the stator.

With the transmission control in forward, which will
pressurize the forward clutch (8), power will flow from
the engine through the torque converter to drive the oil
pump (6) and the input shaft (5), also the quill shaft

Axle power flow
Power is transmitted by the transmission output shaft
to the pinion (4) which meshes with and drives the
crownwheel (5), which is mounted to the differential.
The differential is part of the drive axle. It is a single
reduction unit with a differential drive gear fastened on
the differential case.
The differential is used to send the power from the
transmission to the wheels. When one wheel turns
slower than the other, the differential lets the inside
wheel stop or turn slower in relation to the outside
wheel.
Differential case (5A) has four differential pinion gears
(5B) on the differential pinion shaft. The pinion gears
are engaged with two side gears (5C). The side gears
are splined to the axle shafts.
When the lift truck moves in a forward direction and
there is the same traction under each wheel, torgue in
each axle and pinion gears (5B) are balanced. Both
left and right axles roatate the same. During a turn, the
force(traction) that is on the drive wheels is different.
These different forces are also felt on opposite sides
of the differential and cause pinion gears (5) to turn.
The rotation of pinion gears (5) stops or slows the
inside wheel and lets the outside wheel go faster. This
moves the machine through a turn under full power.
The differential gets lubrication from oil thrown about
inside the housing.

Axle Lubrication Schematic
The axle is lubricated by means of the transmissionmounted lubricant pump (2) which gets oil from the
axle suction port (1) and supplies it to the hub section
pressure parts (3) to lubricate and cool hub drive and
multi-disc brakes.
Oil returns to the sump through the drive shaft
bearings and axle housing.
The basic components of the hydraulic system for
operating the transmission are transmission oil sump
(1), oil pump (2), primary oil filter (3), valve block,
containing main valve (4), orifice (5), inching valve (6),
modulating valve (7), selection valve (8), forward and
reverse solenoid valves (9,10), forward clutch (11),
reverse clutch (12), torque converter (14) with relief
valves (13,15), bypass (16) and oil cooler (17).
The pump is located in the torque converter housing,
and valve block is located on top of transmission, the
filter is located on the right hand of the transmission
housing.

Transmission Hydraulic System
The transmission hydraulic system is explained in
three sections. The first section is the oil pump, filter,
torque converter and oil cooler systems. The second
section is the transmission lubrication system. The
third section is the transmission hydraulic control
system which controls the lift truck direction control.
Pump, Filter, Torque Converter And Oil Cooler
Systems
The oil for the operation and lubrication of the
transmission is made available by pump (2). The
pump is located in the torque converter housing and is
driven by Tangs on the torque converter neck.
Oil sump (1), for the transmission, is in the bottom of
the transmission case. Oil from reservoir flows through
the strainer and internal channels to the suction side of
positive displacement pump .
Oil from pump (2) flows to primary oil filter (3). If there
is a restriction in the oil filter or if the oil is cold and
thick, a bypass valve in the filter will open. The
difference in pressure at which the bypass valve will
open is 124 ± 7 kPa (18 ± 1 psi). From the primary oil
filter, the oil flows on to main relief valve (4). In the
spool of main relief valve there is a bypass (18). The
purpose of this bypass is to supply lubrication and
coolant oil to the torque converter at low speeds and
especially during hot oil conditions. Converter relief
valve (13) protects the torque converter from oil
pressure higher than 670 kPa (97 psi), such as during
cold oil start-ups. At this pressure, the oil is released
back to the reservoir. Converter inlet passage has
converter bypass orifice (16). The purpose of this
orifice is to prevent too much of a pressure load on the
torque converter by allowing some of the oil to bypass
the converter. In converter outlet passage, there is
cooler bypass valve (15). Cooler bypass valve (15) will
release oil back to the reservoir if the oil pressure
reaches 400 kPa (58 psi). This can happen if the oil
cooler has a restriction or if the oil is cold and thick.

When the transmission is in NEUTRAL position with
the engine running, oil is pulled from reservoir and the
strainer assembly (1) to pump (2). From there, pump
oil flows through the primary filter (3) to main relief
valve (4). Oil will also flow through orifice (18) to
lubricate the torque converter during hot, low speed
conditions.
When the pump pressure reaches 895 kPa (130 psi),
relief valve spool (4A) will move to the left side and
most of the pressure oil flows to the torque converter.
Spool will move left and right to maintain 895 kPa (130
psi). Oil can also bypass the torque converter through
converter bypass orifice (16). The purpose of orifice
(16) is to prevent too much of a pressure load being
put on the torque converter.
Oil flows from the torque converter through a passage
to oil cooler (17). Oil then flows back to transmission to
cool and lubricate the clutches and shaft bearings.
In NEUTRAL position, the remaining pressure oil flows
from main relief valve (4) to inching valve (6).
Without inching (inching pedal up and valve in), oil
flows around and through the center of spool (6A) to
the bottom of the spool. The oil, at the bottom, pushes
the spool to the position shown. Oil flows around the
lands of the spool and through a passage to
modulating valve (7).
In NEUTRAL position, forward solenoid (9) and
reverse solenoid (10) are OFF. Pump oil flow is
blocked at the solenoids. Oil cannot flow through oil
passage to the forward or reverse selector spool.
Pump oil pressure is felt at slugs. This forces forward
selector spool to the right and reverse selector spool
to the left. With the spools in this position, forward
clutch (11) and reverse clutch (12) are open to drain.
Most of the oil still flows through the lube circuit.

When the transmission is in FORWARD, the oil flow
from the reservoir, through the pump, primary filter,
torque converter and oil cooler circuits will be the
same as explained in NEUTRAL position.
Oil will flow from the main relief valve to inching valve
(6). Without inching (inching pedal up and valve in), oil
flows around and through the center of reducing spool
(6A) to the bottom of the spool. The oil, at the bottom,
pushes the spool up to the position shown. Oil flows
around the lands of the spool and through a passage
to modulating valve group (7).
In FORWARD, forward solenoid (9) is ON, so pump oil
is sent to the forward selector spool through oil
passage. Forward selector spool (8A) moves to the
right, causing reverse selector spool (8B) to move to
the right also.
With the reverse spool in this position, reverse clutch
(12) is open to drain, Forward selector spool (8A)
opens forward clutch (11) to pump oil. This also opens
reverse selector spool (8B) to drain through oil
passage. Forward clutch (11) will fill with pump oil.
Once filled, oil pressure begins to build up. Pump oil
goes through orifice (7B) and moves load piston (7A)
to the left as pump pressure increases. Oil pressure
increases as the load piston moves further to the left.
The pressure increases to the control pressure of 895
kPa (130 psi). Forward clutch (11) will now be fully
engaged. Modulating valve assembly (7) will now
shuttle between pump oil and drain to maintain clutch
pressure. Clutch fill time takes 0.4 seconds and
pressure increase takes 0.7 seconds. This
approximate 1.1 second clutch fill and pressure rise
time, gives a cushion engagement of forward clutch
(11).

When the transmission is in REVERSE, the oil flow
from the reservoir, through the pump, primary filter,
torque converter and oil cooler circuits will be the
same as explained in NEUTRAL position.
Oil will flow from the main relief valve to inching valve
(6). Without inching (inching pedal up and valve in), oil
flows around and through the center of reducing spool
(6A) to the bottom of the spool. The oil, at the bottom,
pushes the spool up to the position shown. Oil flows
around the lands of the spool and through a passage
to modulating valve group (7).
In REVERSE, reverse solenoid (10) is ON, so the
pump oil is sent to the reverse selector spool through
an oil passage. Reverse selector spool (8B) moves to
the left, causing forward selector spool (8A) to move to
the left also.
With the forward selector spool in this position, forward
clutch (11) is open to drain. Reverse selector spool
(8B) opens reverse clutch (12) to pump oil. This also
opens forward selector spool (8A) to drain through
passages. Reverse clutch (12) will fill with pump oil.
Once filled, oil pressure begins to build up. Pump oil
goes through orifice (7A) and moves load piston (7A)
to the left as pump pressure increases. Oil pressure
increases as the load piston moves further to the left.
The pressure increases to the control pressure of 895
kPa (130 psi). Reverse clutch (12) will now be fully
engaged. Modulating valve assembly (7) will now
shuttle between pump oil and drain to maintain clutch
pressure. Clutch fill time takes 0.4 seconds and
pressure increase takes 0.7 seconds. This
approximate 1.1 second clutch fill and pressure rise
time, gives a cushion engagement of reverse clutch
(12).

When the transmission is in FORWARD (or
REVERSE) during INCHING, the oil flow from the
reservoir, through the pump, filter, torque converter
and oil cooler circuits will be the same as explained in
NEUTRAL position.
Oil will flow from the main relief valve through a
passage, to inching valve (6). Inching valve (6) lets the
operator control the oil pressure to forward clutch (11)
between 280 and 0 kPa (40 and 0 psi), which permits
a partial engagement of the clutch. Through the use of
the inching valve, the lift truck can move slowly while
the engine is at higher speeds. This lets the operator
move the lift truck slowly up to a load while the mast is
raised rapidly.
When the operator pushes the inching pedal part of
the way down, inching plunger (6B) moves out of the
inching valve. This takes away some of the spring
force between plunger (6B) and reducing spool (6A). It
also removes the balance condition between the pump
pressure, at the bottom of spool (6A), and the spring
force.
Reducing spool (6A) moves to the right, which
causes a restriction for the pump oil flow. The
pressure drops from 895 kPa (130 psi) to 280 kPa (40
psi). The pressure can drop further depending on the
position of plunger (6A). Pressure reduces as plunger
(6A) is moved out (as the inching pedal is pushed
down).
This reduced pressure flows to selector valve group
(8). The oil will flow through the valve as explained in
forward direction. The reduced (inching) pressure will
flow through a passage to partially engage forward
clutch (11). This reduced pressure permits slippage of
the forward clutch plates and discs. Therefore, the
truck will have an operator
controlled movement. The amount of oil pressure to
clutch (11) depends on the position of inching plunger
(6A). As the plunger is pulled out completely (inching
pedal all the way down) clutch pressure will drop to 0
kPa (0 psi). The forward clutch will be
disengaged at approximately 65.5 kPa (9.5 psi).

Modulating valve function
The modulating valve consists of 5 basic elements:
1. Orifice
2. Springs
3. Load piston
4. Modulating valve
5. Reaction slug
The function of the modulating valve is to control
clutch pressure during a shift. It allows the clutch
pressure to raise gently to the maximum
transmission pressure in order to provide a smooth
clutch engagement and a good shift feel for the vehicle
operator.
There are two forces acting on the modulation valve:
Force 1 = Pressure (load piston) / Area 1
Force 2 = Pressure (clutch) / Area 2
In order for the modulating valve to stay in a balance
position Force 1 must be equal to Force 2.
If for example Force 2 is too large (clutch pressure is
too large) then the valve will be forced to the left,
shutting off supply and opening the clutch and slug

pressure to drain, and reducing Force 2.
If Force 1 is too large then the valve would be forced
to the right, opening the clutch circuit to supply,
and increasing the value of Force 2 so it balances
Force 1. By regulating clutch pressures between
supply and drain, valve forces are balanced.
MODULATING VALVE
DR
Power Train Systems Operation
35
Modulating valve movement during clutch fill
When a new direction is selected by the operator, the
selector spools open up a circuit to the new clutch
piston. System pressure drops as the new clutch
piston is stroking. This drop in supply pressure causes
a force imbalance on the modulating valve / reaction
slug pressure becomes smaller. Since Force 1 is still
the same, Force 1 forces the modulating valve to the
right until the end of the modulating valve opens the
load piston cavity to drain.
The load piston oil dumps to drain and the load piston
immediately moves to the right (shown in fig.2).
This action is called "load piston reset". It happens
very quickly in comparison to the time needed for the
clutch piston to fully stroke. Therefore the modulating
valve and load piston are ready to start controlling the
clutch pressure in a smooth upward manner once the
clutch piston finishes stroking.
Figure 2
Modulation of clutch to top pressure
As long as reaction slug pressure is greater than load
piston pressure, oil will flow across the orifice from
Area 2 to Area 1. As oil flows to the load piston the
springs will continue to compress, allowing the load
piston to move to the left. As the load piston moves to
the left the spring force increases and load piston
pressure increases.
As press (LP) increases the modulating valve will
cause a corresponding increase in clutch pressure in
order to keep the forces balanced. In simple terms as
the load piston strokes to the left the clutch pressure
rises to maximum system pressure.
This controlled rise in clutch pressure takes about 0.7
sec. and is shown in fig.4. It occurs immediately after
the clutch piston completely strokes (end of clutch fill).

Selector spools
The selector spool circuits are arranged in such a way
that once a gear (forward or reverse) is selected the
opposite solenoid supply is shut off and drained. This
is done to prevent any electrical or malfunction of the
other solenoid from giving a sudden and
unexpected shift.
In addition the two selector spools are arranged so
they cannot select both forward and reverse at the
same time because they mechanically interfere with
each other.
The selector spools have two areas:
1. Slug area
2. Spool area
The slug cavity is exposed to system pressure all the
time. If the solenoid allows system oil to flow to the
end of the spool and pressurize the spool area then
the spool will move toward the slug because the spool
area is larger than the slug area and the force will be
higher. When the solenoid is closed, pressure to the
spool is reduced. This allows the pressure at the slug
to move the spool away from the slug.
In fig.5 the selector spools are shown with forward
gear selected. Notice that the reverse solenoid
supply is drained through the forward spool

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting can be difficult. A list of possible
problems and corrections is on the pages that follow.
This list of problems and probable causes will only
give an indication of where a problem can be and what
repairs are needed. Normally, more or other repair
work is needed beyond the recommendations on the
list. Remember that a problem is not
necessarily caused only by one part, but by the
relation of one part with other parts. This list cannot
give all possible problems and probable causes. The
serviceman must find the problem and its source, then
make the necessary repairs.
Always make visual checks first. Check the operation
of the machine and then check with instruments.
WARNING
To prevent personal injury, when testing and
adjusting the power train, move the machine to an
area clear of obstructions. There must be
adequate ventilation for the exhaust. When drive
wheels are off the ground for testing, keep away
from wheels that are in rotation.
Operate the machine in each direction. Make note of
all noises that are not normal and find their source. If
the operation is not correct, make reference to the
troubleshooting chart for "problems" and "probable
causes".
Visual Checks
1. Check the oil level in the transmission and axle with
the engine running and with the Transmission in
NEUTRAL.
2. Check all oil lines, hoses and connections for leaks
and damage. Look for oil on the ground under the
machine.
3. Actuate the controls for the forward direction and
then for the reverse direction. The actuation must
give the same positive action to the hydraulic
control circuit for clutch engagement in both
directions.
4. Remove and check the filter element for loose
particles. Check the strainer behind the
transmission oil plug for foreign material.
a. Particles of friction material give an indication of
a clutch failure.
b. Metallic (metal) particles in the filter give an
indication of wear or mechanical failure in the
transmission and/or axle.
c. Rubber particles give an indication of seal or
hose failure.
If metal or rubber particles are found, all components
of the transmission hydraulic system must be flushed.
Make a replacement of all parts that show damage.
NOTICE
Before these checks are started, fill the transmission
and axle with oil to the correct level. See the Operation
& Maintenance Manual for the procedure to check
transmission and axle oil level.
Activate the controls for the FORWARD direction and
then for the REVERSE direction. The modulation will
be seen on pressure gauge in the clutch pressure tap
when the shift is made at low idle. The pressure will
increase to 895 kPa (130 psi) when completely filled.
Operate the machine in each direction. Make note of
noises that are not normal and find their source. If the
operation is not correct, make reference to the check
List During Operation for "problems" and "probable
causes".

WARNING
To prevent personal injury, when the transmission
is tested, move the truck to a clear area, that is
level. Keep all other personnel away from the lift
truck. Use lifting equipment or a save method to
lift the front of the lift truck until the drive wheels
are off the floor. Put wood blocks or jack stands of
the correct capacity under it to hold it in this
position while pressure tests are performed.
When the transmission tests are made, the
transmission oil must be at the correct level. The
pressure given in the chart are taken with the
transmission oil temperature at 49 to 71°C (120 to
160°F). If the oil temperatue is lower than 49°C
(120°F) the oil pressure will be higher than that shown.
If the oil temperature is higher than 71°C (160°F), the
pressure will be lower than that shown.
Raise the front of the lift truck off the floor. Put wood
blocks or jack stands of the correct capacity under it to
hold it in this position while pressure tests are
performed.
WARNING
Before any pressure tap plugs or connections are
removed, the engine must be stopped with the
transmission controls in NEUTRAL. This will
release hydraulic pressure in the transmission.
For more identification of transmission problems, the
pressures that follow can be checked.
a. Pump pressure in neutral.
b. Forward clutch pressure in forward.
c. Reverse clutch pressure in reverse.
d. Converter charge pressure in neutral.
e. Converter outlet or cooler inlet pressure in neutral.
f. Lubrication pressure in neutral.
Most problems in the hydraulic circuit can normally be
found when the pump pressure is checked. If more
information is necessary, gauges can be installed at
each pressure tap location. Locations of the pressure
taps and procedures for testing are given as follows. If
any of the pressures are not correct, refer to
Troubleshooting For Problems and Probable Causes.
1. Be sure the transmission control adjustments are
correct before tests are made.
See Inching Pedal Adjustment in Testing And
Adjusting.
2. Install a tachometer to the engine to show engine
speed during the test.
3. Put a thermistor probe in place of the dipstick in the
transmission oil reservoir.
4. Remove each of the following pressure tap plugs in
the order shown and install the 0 to 2050 kPa (0 to
300 psi) pressure gauge. After the pressure check
is done, remove the gauge and install the plug
again.
5. Check pump pressure with the transmission in
neutral at pressure tap (6) on the valve body first. If
it is not correct, then check pump pressure at
pressure tap (1) on the bearing plate.
a. If the pressure is low at pressure tap (6), but
correct at pressure tap (1), there could be an oil
line restriction or a defective inching valve.
NOTE: Pump pressure should be checked at
pressure tap (6) first because pressure tap (6) is
easier to get to than pump pressure tap (1) on the
bearing plate. If pump pressure is correct at
pressure tap (6), it will be correct at pressure tap
(1) also.
b. If the pressure is low at both locations, see
Problem: Low pump pressure in Troubleshooting.
NOTE: Pump pressure is adjusted by adding or
removing shims in the D700296 Plug. The plug is
located in the main relief valve on the valve body.
6. Check clutch pressure as follows:
a. Check forward clutch pressure at pressure tap
(4) with the transmission in forward. If the
pressure is not correct, see Problem: Low
forward clutch pressure in Troubleshooting.
b. Check reverse clutch pressure at pressure tap
(5) with the transmission in reverse. If the
pressure is not correct, see Problem: Low
reverse clutch pressure in Troubleshooting.

Converter Stall Test
NOTE: Make sure that the transmission oil is at the
correct temperature for operation before tests are
made.
The converter stall test is a test to check engine power.
It can also be used to locate a problem in the
transmission or torque converter when the condition of
the engine is known. An engine, which does not have
correct performance, will give an indication of a stall
speed that is not correct. If the engine performance is
correct and the stall speed is not correct, the problem
in the converter or transmission can be found with this
test.
NOTE: To check the engine performance, see the
respective engine module. This test checks the
maximum RPM that the engine, at full throttle, can turn
the converter with the turbine held stationary. To hold
the converter turbine, engage the brakes with the
transmission in FORWARD or REVERSE.
The drive wheels must not turn during the stall test.
Put a heavy load on the forks. Also put the truck in
position against a solid object that will not move (such
as a loading dock). When the tests are made, the
wheel brakes must be engaged with the left foot. The
accelerator pedal can be operated with the right foot.
WARNING
Make tests in a clear level area only. There must be
one operator. Keep all other personnel away from
the lift truck. Check the operation of the brakes
before the tests are made.
Check the high idle setting before the stall test is made.
Set the high idle to the specification, as given in the
respective engine module.
NOTE: Make sure that the transmission oil is at the
correct temperature for operation before tests are
made.
1. Connect a tachometer to the engine. Start the
engine. Engage the wheel brakes with the left foot.
2. Put the transmission control lever in FORWARD
and push the accelerator pedal down completely
with the right foot. Read the RPM on the
tachometer, then release the accelerator pedal.

NOTICE
To make sure that the transmission oil does not
get hot, do not hold the transmission in a stall
condition for more than ten seconds. After the
transmission is stalled, put the controls in
NEUTRAL and run the engine at 1200 to 1500 RPM
to cool the oil.
3. Repeat the procedure above for the REVERSE
direction.

Stall speeds that are low are an indication that the
engine performance is not correct or the one-way
cutch of the torque converter does not hold in reverse
direction. If the one-way clutch has a defect, the stall
speed will probably be more than 800 rpm low.
The stall speed must be the same in FORWARD and
REVERSE. If the stall speed is high in FORWARD and
REVERSE, check the following:
a. Check for air in the oil.
b. Check the torque converter and the clutch
pressures according to transmission Pressure
Tests in Testing And Adjusting.
c. If clutch pressure is correct, make an inspection of
the clutch assembly for that direction for possible
damage to clutch components.

Electric Control System Tests
Tools Needed
Digital Multimeter 1
NOTE : Refer to Schematic.
Checks on the transmission directional control
electrical circuit can be done with a Digital Multimeter.
All voltage checks are made at the wiring harness
connectors with the ignition switch ON, DO NOT start
the engine. All continuity checks are done with the
ignition switch OFF.
A beginning check of the direction control system
should be performed before testing the individual
components and wiring
harness. When the direction solenoids are energized
they become magnetized. By holding a metal
screwdriver next to the solenoids it can be
determined whether they are energized or not.
Turn the ignition switch ON, DO NOT start the engine.
Release the parking brake. Place the
direction control switch in forward and check the
forward solenoid for magnetism. Do the same for the
reverse direction.
zIf the solenoids didn’t energize begin testing the
control system with step 1.
zIf the solenoids did energize, go to step 10.
Power To Directional Control Switch Check
1. Put the directional control lever in neutral. Remove
the cover from the front side of the steering
support assembly.
2. Disconnect harness connector (2) from directional
control switch connector(1).

9. Disconnect the connector (5) of Engine harness
from the connector of transmission harness.
Check continuity of socket 12, 13 of engine
harness (3) from one end to the other. Repair or
replace the wiring harness if there is no continuity.
Transmission Solenoids Visual Check
10. A visual check can be done to see if the solenoid
plungers are moving.
Remove the modulating valve assemblies from the
transmission
11. Turn the ignition switch ON, DO NOT start the
engine. Release the parking brake.
12. Put the directional control switch in neutral.
zBoth solenoid plungers should be flush with the
solenoid.
13. Put the directional control switch in forward and
then reverse.
