ATF COOLER CLEANER OPERATING TIPS

ACURA SERVICE NEWS

SERVICE INFORMATION

Here are some tips for those of you who have received the ATF Cooler Cleaner (P/N GHTTTCF6H):

• When you're ready to use the cooler cleaner, make sure you check the fluid level in the tank. The fluid level should be 4.5 inches  from the top of the filler neck. Adjust the level if needed; don't overfill the tank. Use only Honda ATF-Z1; never use any additives.

• At the end of the 5-minute cleaning period, make sure you leave the air purge valve open while you flip the MOTOR  toggle switch to OFF  . If you turn off the pump with the air purge valve closed, ATF could spill out of the filler/breather tube when you would open the air purge valve to purge the ATF cooler and hoses of residual ATF.
• S/B 89-022, ATF Cooler Cleaner  , doesn't really explain about the indicators on the cooler cleaner. The MOTOR  toggle switch has a green  indicator above the switch. It comes on when you flip the switch to ON  and goes off when you flip the switch to OFF  . The HEAT  toggle switch has a green  indicator and a red  indicator above the switch. The green  indicator comes on when you flip the switch to ON  and goes off when you flip the switch to OFF  . The red  indicator comes on only if the fluid level in the tank is too low for the tank heater to work. If the red indicator comes on, add a gallon of ATF-Z1 to the tank.
