Service Procedure
- Isolate the high-pitched whine condition by road testing the vehicle at normal operating temperature, use the Automatic Transmission Select Shift feature to select and hold 3rd gear while driving on flat ground. The high-pitched whine noise peaks at speeds between 30-40 km/h (18-25 mph) during light acceleration and while coasting down in 3rd gear. The high-pitched whine noise goes away when in NEUTRAL.
- Is the high-pitched whine present?
(1). Yes – proceed to Step 3.
(2). No – this article does not apply. Refer to the Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 100-04 for normal diagnosis.
- Remove the transmission. Refer to WSM, Section 307-01.
- Disassemble transmission, perform only the necessary steps to remove the output shaft and planetary carrier No. 4 assembly from the transmission case. Refer to WSM, Section 307-01 > Overhaul.
(1). It is only necessary to remove the following:
-
- Torque converter
- Transmission fluid auxiliary pump
- Main control assembly
- All 4 speed sensors (intermediate speed sensor A [ISSA], intermediate speed sensor B [ISSB], turbine shaft speed [TSS] and output shaft speed [OSS])
- Fluid pump
- Output shaft seal
- Front support
- Clutch and planetary assembly
- Output shaft and planetary carrier No. 4 assembly
- Remove the inner output shaft bearing, fluid passage sleeve and outer output shaft bearing from the transmission case. It is not necessary to remove any other parts except for the bearings and passage sleeve. Refer to WSM Section 307-01 > Disassembly.
- Install new inner output shaft bearing, fluid passage sleeve and outer output shaft bearing into the transmission case. Refer to WSM Section 307-01 > Assembly.
- To reassemble, reverse the removal procedure. Refer to WSM, Section 307-01 > Overhaul.
- Install the transmission. Refer to WSM, Section 307-01.
