RJ-1224-2

The temperature of the automatic transmission fluid may rise too high depending on the driving conditions, because there is a glitch in the program of the ECU for automatic transmission, and also because for vehicles with electric fan-type automatic transmission fluid cooling systems the fluid temperature sensor for the electic fan is not installed into the connector with the correct depth. If this occurs and the illuminated warning light is ignored, the automatic transmission fluid loses some lubricating capacity, and the rotary parts inside the transmission can be worn and damaged, which could cause the driving force to decrease, and in the worst case this could cause the vehicle to stall.

Case Number: 
RJ-1224-2

Make/model:

Issued: 
Wed, 2004-09-15
Component: 
A/T (ECU for automatic transmission, automatic transmission fluid cooling system)
Affected: 
967
Correction: 
The ECU for automatic transmission should be replaced with the factory approved replacement unit. If the vehicle has the electric fan-type automatic transmission fluid cooling system, the fluid temperature sensor and the connector should be replaced with the factory approved replacement units. Incidentally, it will take time to supply all the factory approved replacement units, and therefore as a temporary measure, the users should be informed that they should contact the dealer if the warning light for automatic transmission fluid temperature is illuminated or the driving force is low.
Identification: 
sticker ('MT-06' is written) near the striker on the rear door pillar on the passenger's side, blue one for the temporary measure and white/yellow one for the factory approved replacement
