Troubleshooting.
In
the
following
paragraphs we will follow SGT Fox as she troubleshoots the
transmission for the malfunction TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS (ACCORDING TO
TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE GAGE) and reaches the conclusion that the
transmission temperature gage is defective and needs to be replaced.
Before beginning the troubleshooting procedure SGT Fox reads DA Form
2404 and talks with the operator. After this has been done SGT Fox
reads through the troubleshooting procedures to determine what tools
will be necessary for this troubleshooting procedure.
For this
malfunction she will need only a mechanic's general toolbox.
After
the tools have been gathered together, she configures the vehicle
according to the procedures contained in paragraphs 3a(1) thru 3a(5)
on page 34 of this task. Once the tools have been gathered together
and the vehicle is safely configured, SGT Fox is ready to begin
troubleshooting.
Step 1. First, she checks the transmission oil level. Finding this
adequate, according to LO 9-2320--272-12, SGT Fox moves on to step 2.
Step 2.
In this step she is directed to test the operation of the
transmission temperature gage, using a gage that is known to be good.
Since the test gage did not indicate overheating, the old gage is
defective and should be replaced following the procedures contained
in paragraph 4-53 of TM 9-2320-272-20-1.
