DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

TRA SAXLE DESCRIPTIO
The 4F27E is a fully automatic, electronically controlled 4-speed transaxle designed for Front Wheel Drive
(FWD) vehicles.
Its abbreviated designation 4F27E means:
4 - 4-speed transmission
F - FWD
27 - originally designed for maximum input torque after torque converter: 365 N.m (270 lb-ft)
E - fully electronically controlled
Fig. 1: Identifying Automatic Transmission - Torque Converter

Microsoft

Courtesy of FORD MOTOR CO.

The individual ratios are achieved through 2 planetary gear sets, connected one behind the other.
The individual components of the planetary gear sets are driven or held by means of 3 multi-plate clutches, a
multi-plate brake, a brake band and a roller One-Way Clutch (OWC).
The torque is transmitted to the final drive assembly through an intermediate gear stage.
The selector lever gives the driver a choice of P, R, N, D and L.
With the selector lever in the D it is possible to operate an Overdrive (O/D) switch on the selector lever to
prevent the transaxle from shifting into 4th gear. The default gear for this transaxle is 3rd gear.
To minimize fuel consumption, the torque converter lock-up clutch is closed by the PCM in 3rd and 4th
gears depending on the throttle position and vehicle speed.
The transaxle has electronic synchronous shift control, which guarantees extremely smooth gear shifting
over the entire life of the transaxle.
A hydraulic emergency operating program maintains limited operation in the event of failure of important
electrical components.
The transaxle can be tested using a scan tool through the Data Link Connector (DLC) in the passenger
compartment.

Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM)

Shift solenoid (on/off) valves
Main regulating valve Variable Force
Solenoid (VFS)
The valve body contains 6 solenoid valves:

Three Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) solenoid valves
Two shift solenoid (on/off) valves
One main regulating valve, Variable Force Solenoid (VFS)
The individual clutches and bands are supplied pressure from the PWM solenoid valves and the shift
solenoid (on/off) valves and thus the gears are shifted.
The PWM solenoid valves allow direct actuation of the clutches and bands to make sure of extremely
smooth shifting through precise pressure regulation.
The shift solenoid (on/off) valves switch the hydraulic path to the clutches and bands, reducing the number
of required modulating valves.
The main regulating valve, VFS makes sure that sufficient hydraulic pressure is available in all operating
conditions.
Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) Solenoid Valves 1-3
Microsoft
Page 8
2008 Ford Focus S

PWM solenoid valves 1, 2 and 3 control the pressure to the bands and clutches.
Shift Solenoid (On/Off) Valves 1 and 2
The shift solenoid (on/off) valves switch the different oil passages in the valve body to direct the pressure to
the individual clutches and bands.
The use of the shift solenoid valves are needed for direct actuation of the individual clutches and bands.
Main Regulating Valve
The main regulating valve, VFS controls the required main line pressure for the individual transmission
ranges.
The main line pressure is controlled dependent on the current engine load.

The manual control lever is secured on a square on the manual control shaft. Axial movement of the selector
lever cable is changed into rotation of the manual shaft.
In the transaxle, the manual control shaft operates the parking pawl engaging lever and the manual control
lever of the manual control valve.
The manual control valve, a valve operated entirely manually, is moved by means of the manual control
lever in the valve body.
The manual control valve guarantees the functions during hydraulic emergency operation.

Differential
The final drive input gear is splined to the planet carrier of the front planetary gear set and drives the transfer
shaft input gear of the intermediate gear stage.
The transfer shaft output gear of the intermediate gear stage drives the final drive assembly.
The torque is transmitted to the halfshafts through the final drive assembly.
The differential offsets differences in speed of rotation of the halfshafts.
The intermediate gear stage is designed so that the final drive ratio can be adapted to requirements when the
automatic transaxle is used in conjunction with different engines.
IDE TIFICATIO TAGS
When servicing the automatic transaxle, refer to the identification tag located on the case.

RA GE SELECTIO
The transaxle range selector has 5 positions: P, R, N, D, L.
Fig. 7: Identifying Positions Of Range Selector

Park
In selector lever position P, no gear is selected. The parking pawl is engaged manually by the selector lever
cable and the manual control lever shaft.
For safety reasons, always apply the parking brake whenever the vehicle is parked.
Reverse
In selector lever position R, reverse gear is selected. REVERSE allows the vehicle to be operated in a
rearward direction, at a reduced gear ratio.
eutral
Microsoft
Page 13
2008 Ford Focus S

In selector lever position N, no gear is selected. The driveline is not locked, so the wheels are free to rotate.
The vehicle may be started in NEUTRAL.
Drive
In selector lever position D and when the Overdrive (O/D) switch is not pressed, the transaxle control allows
all the gears to be selected. When the O/D switch is pressed, shifting into 4th gear is prevented or the
transaxle shifts down to 3rd gear.
L Position
In selector lever position L, only 1st gear is selected. In addition to the 1st gear One-Way Clutch (OWC),
the transaxle control closes the reverse gear brake to produce engine braking effect in overrun.
If the selector lever is moved to position L at an excessive vehicle speed for 1st gear, the transaxle control
only allows the downshift to take place when the corresponding vehicle speed has been reached.

Torque converter lock-up clutch

Transaxle input shaft
The torque converter transmits engine torque hydraulically to the transaxle input shaft.
The stator boosts the torque to the transaxle input shaft (approximately 85% difference in speed between the
impeller and the turbine).
The stator is made of synthetic resin to reduce weight.
To increase the efficiency of the automatic transaxle, the torque converter has an apply clutch. When the
torque converter lock-up clutch is closed, the torque is transmitted directly from the crankshaft through the
torque converter housing to the transaxle input shaft.
The Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) is applied hydraulically by the PCM by means of the solenoid valves in
the valve body in 3rd and 4th gears. Apply is dependent on the throttle position, vehicle speed and selector
lever position.

The PCM and its input/output network controls the following operations:
Shift timing
Line pressure (shift feel)
Torque Converter Clutch (TCC)
The transaxle control is separate from the engine control strategy in the PCM, although some of the input
signals are shared. When determining the best operating strategy for transaxle operation, the PCM uses input
information from certain engine-related and driver-demand related sensors and switches.
In addition, the PCM receives input signals from certain transaxle-related sensors and switches. The PCM
also uses these signals when determining transaxle operating strategy.
Using all of these input signals, the PCM can determine when the time and conditions are right for a shift, or
when to apply or release the TCC. It will also determine the best line pressure needed to optimize shift feel.
To accomplish this, the PCM uses output solenoids to control transaxle operation.
Electronic Synchronous Shift Control
Control of Shift Operations
During a shift operation certain elements are released while others are actuated. Ideally, this process takes
place simultaneously (synchronously) to avoid jerky gear shifting.
Microsoft
Page 23
2008 Ford Focus S

The time for the shift operation should remain within the time limits provided.
When the shift operation is controlled conventionally, the pressure buildup and reduction at the shift
elements are set and defined for ideal conditions (synchronous shifting).
As there is no way of influencing the control in the event of different levels of wear in the shift elements,
when the transaxle has been used for a fairly high mileage it is possible that the pressure buildup and
reduction may no longer be synchronous.
The result or premature pressure reduction at the element to be switched off is an unwanted rise in the
Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) as the element to be switched on cannot transmit the input torque.
The result of delayed pressure reduction at the element to be switched off is an unwanted decrease in the
TSS as both shift elements transmit the input torque. In the process the torque is transmitted to the transaxle
housing through internal locking.
In both cases, a jerk will be felt during the shift operation.
In addition, wear in the shift elements leads to a lengthening of the shift operation. Therefore, shifting takes
longer when the transaxle has accumulated a higher mileage.
Control of Shift Operations With Electronic Synchronous Shift Control
In the automatic transaxle, electronic synchronous shift control is used.

Electronic synchronous shift control monitors the shift operations and is able to adapt to the wear in the shift
elements over the life of the transaxle.
This is possible since the shift elements are actuated by modulating valves.
The system monitors the shift time whether the shift operation is synchronous.
If the PCM detects a deviation from the stored values for the shift time and synchronization of the shift
operation, the pressure buildup or reduction is adapted accordingly.
Emergency Operating Program
If correct gear shifting can no longer be guaranteed due to failure of certain signals, the PCM changes to an
emergency operating program.
The driver is informed of the operation of the emergency operating program by the illumination of the
powertrain warning indicator in the Instrument Cluster (IC).
Continued motoring is guaranteed in the following limited conditions:
Maximum main line pressure
Third gear in manual selector lever positions D and L without the TCC
Reverse gear in manual selector lever position R
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
Microsoft
Page 24
2008 Ford Focus S

The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is located on the Throttle Body (TB).
It supplies the PCM with information about the position of the throttle plate.
It also detects the speed of actuation of the throttle plate.
The PCM uses the signals for the following functions among other things:
to determine the shift timing.
to control the main line pressure.
to control the TCC.
for kickdown.
In case of absence of the TP signal, the engine control uses the signals of the Mass Air Flow (MAF) and
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensors as a substitute signal. The main line pressure is increased and hard
shifts may occur.
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor
The Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor is mounted on the accelerator pedal. The APP detects the
position of the accelerator pedal and inputs this information as a voltage to the PCM. The PCM uses APP
sensor information to aid in determining line pressure, shift scheduling and TCC operation. Failure of this
sensor will cause the transaxle to operate at higher line pressure to avoid damage to the transaxle. This
higher line pressure causes harsh upshifts and harsh engagements.
Mass Air Flow (MAF) and Intake Air Temperature (IAT)
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner housing and the air intake hose leading to the throttle
housing.
The IAT sensor is incorporated in the housing of the MAF sensor.
The MAF sensor in conjunction with the IAT sensor provides the PCM with the primary load signal.
The PCM uses the signals for the following functions among other things:
to control the shift operations.
If the MAF sensor fails, the signal of the TP sensor is used as a substitute.
Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is located on the engine/transaxle flange.

The CKP sensor is an inductive sensor which provides the PCM with information about the engine speed
and position of the crankshaft.
The signal is used for the following functions among other things:
Microsoft
Page 25
2008 Ford Focus S

to control the TCC.

to check the torque converter slip.
No substitute signal is available for the CKP sensor. If the signal is not present, the engine stops.
Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) Sensor
Fig. 14: Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) Sensor

The TSS sensor is located in the transaxle housing over the transaxle input shaft.
The TSS sensor is an inductive sensor which senses the speed of rotation of the transaxle input shaft.
The signal is used for the following functions:
to control the shift operations.
to control the TCC.
to check the torque converter slip.
If the TSS sensor fails, the signal of the Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensor is used as a substitute signal.
Output Shaft Speed (OSS) Sensor
Microsoft
Page 26
2008 Ford Focus S

Fig. 15: Identifying Output Shaft Speed (OSS) Sensor

The OSS sensor is located in the transaxle housing above the rotor in the differential.
The OSS sensor is an inductive sensor which detects the vehicle speed by means of a rotor on the
differential.
The signal is used for the following functions among other things:
to determine the shift timing.
to supply the vehicle speed input signal for the PCM.
If the OSS sensor fails, the signal of the TSS sensor is used as a substitute signal.
Transmission Range (TR) Sensor
Microsoft
Page 27
2008 Ford Focus S

Fig. 16: Identifying Transmission Range (TR) Sensor

The Transmission Range (TR) sensor is located on the manual shaft on the transaxle housing.
When the manual control shaft is moved by means of the selector lever cable, an engagement pin in the
inner ring of the TR sensor moves through the different positions. The signals are transmitted to the PCM,
the reversing lamps and the starter inhibitor relay.
NOTE:
Correct operation of the TR sensor is only guaranteed when the manual

selector lever cable is adjusted correctly.
The signals of the TR sensor are used for the following functions:
to recognize the selector lever position.
to actuate the starter inhibitor relay.
to actuate the reversing lamps.
No substitute signal is available for the TR sensor.
If the connection is cut, the vehicle cannot be started.
Brake Pedal Position (BPP)
The Brake Pedal Position (BPP) switch is mounted on the brake pedal bracket.
It switches the stoplights on and tells the PCM when the brakes are applied.
The signal of the BPP switch is used by the PCM for the following functions:
Microsoft
Page 28
2008 Ford Focus S

to release the TCC when the brake pedal is depressed.

to switch off the selector lever Brake Shift Interlock Actuator (BSIA) when the brake pedal is
depressed in PARK.
No substitute signal is available for the BPP switch.
If the connection to the BPP switch is cut, the manual selector lever cannot be moved out of PARK.
Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor
The Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor is located on the internal wiring harness to the solenoid
valves in the transmission fluid pan.
It is a resistor and measures the TFT.
The TFT is used by the PCM for the following functions:
Applying the TCC is not permitted until the transmission fluid reaches a certain temperature.
Engagement of 4th gear is prevented in extreme sub-zero temperatures until the normal operating
temperature is reached.
If the TFT is excessive, a pre-set fixed shift curve is selected and the TCC is closed in 2, 3 and 4, and
the transaxle warning indicator is activated. No substitute signal is available for the TFT sensor.
Overdrive (O/D) Switch
Fig. 17: Overdrive (O/D) Switch

The Overdrive (O/D) switch transmits a signal to the PCM to select or suppress 4th gear in selector lever
Microsoft
Page 29

position D.
The signal of the O/D switch is used for the following functions:
as an input signal to convey the driver's intent to the PCM.
to display the driver's intent with the O/D indicator in the Instrument Cluster (IC).
No substitute signal is available for the O/D switch. If it should fail, it is always possible to shift into 4th
gear in manual selector lever position D.

A/C
If the PCM registers a kickdown signal Wide Open Throttle (WOT), throttle plate is opened 95%, the A/C is
switched off for a maximum of 15 seconds.
Starter Inhibitor Relay
The relay prevents the engine starting in manual selector lever positions R, D and L.
The relay obtains the information about the position of the selector lever directly from the TR sensor.
Ignition Key Lock Solenoid
The solenoid is incorporated in the ignition lock. In manual selector lever position P, the ground connection
to the solenoid is cut. The locking pin does not engage in the ignition lock.
In all the other selector lever positions, the ground connection to the solenoid is closed and the locking pin
engages in the ignition lock.
When the selector lever is not in position P, removal of the ignition key is prevented.

PRELIMI ARY I SPECTIO

The following items must be checked prior to beginning the diagnostic procedures:
Know and Understand the Concern
In order to correctly diagnose a concern, first understand the customer complaint or condition. Customer
contact may be necessary in order to begin to verify the concern. Understand the conditions as to when the
concern occurs, for example:
Hot or cold vehicle temperature
Hot or cold ambient temperature
Vehicle driving conditions
Vehicle loaded/unloaded
After understanding when and how the concern occurs, proceed to verify the concern.
Microsoft
Page 36
2008 Ford Focus S

Verification of Condition
This article provides information that must be used in both determining the actual cause of customer
concerns and executing the appropriate procedures.
The following procedures must be used when verifying customer concerns for the engine.
Determine Customer Concern
NOTE:
Some transaxle conditions can cause engine concerns. The Torque

Converter Clutch (TCC) not disengaging will stall the engine.
Determine customer concerns relative to vehicle use and dependent driving conditions, paying attention to
the following items:
Hot or cold vehicle operating temperature
Hot or cold ambient temperatures
Type of terrain
Vehicle loaded/unloaded
City/highway driving
Upshift
Downshift
Coasting
Engagement
Noise/vibration - check for dependencies, either RPM dependent, vehicle speed dependent, shift
dependent, gear dependent, range dependent or temperature dependent.
Check Transmission Fluid Level
NOTE:
The vehicle should not be driven if the transmission fluid level is below the
bottom line on the transmission fluid level indicator and the ambient
temperature is above 10C (50F).
NOTE:
Transmission fluid expands when warmed. To obtain an accurate

transmission fluid level check, drive the vehicle until normal operating
temperature is reached, approximately 30 km (20 mi).
NOTE:
If the vehicle has been operated for an extended period at high speeds, in
city traffic, during hot weather or while pulling a trailer the vehicle should be
turned OFF for approximately 30 minutes to allow the transmission fluid to
cool before checking.
NOTE:
Incorrect transmission fluid level may affect the transaxle operation and
could result in transaxle damage.
Under normal conditions, there is no requirement to check the transmission fluid level. However, if the
transaxle is not functioning correctly, the transaxle may slip, shift slowly or there may be some sign of
Microsoft
Page 37
2008 Ford Focus S

transmission fluid leakage, the transmission fluid level should be checked.

1. Drive the vehicle 30 km (20 mi) or until the vehicle reaches normal operating temperature.
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
3. With foot on the brake, start the engine and move the selector lever through all the gear ranges. Allow
sufficient time for each gear to engage.
4. Place the selector lever in PARK and leave the engine running.
5. Remove the transmission fluid level indicator and wipe it clean with a lint free cloth.
6. Install the transmission fluid level indicator, making sure that it is fully seated in the filler tube.
7. Remove the transmission fluid level indicator. The transmission fluid should be within the designated
areas.

Description
Maximum transmission fluid level
Normal operating transmission fluid
level range 50C-60C (122F-140F)
Minimum transmission fluid level
High Transmission Fluid Level
A transmission fluid level that is too high may cause the transmission fluid to become aerated due to the
churning action of the rotating internal parts. This will cause erratic control pressure, foaming, loss of
transmission fluid from the vent tube and possible transaxle damage. If an overfill reading is indicated,
adjust the transmission fluid to correct level.
Low Transmission Fluid Level
A low transmission fluid level could result in poor transaxle engagement, slipping or damage. This could
also indicate a leak in one of the transaxle seals or gaskets.
Adding Transmission Fluid
NOTE:
The use of any other type of transmission fluid than specified could result in
transaxle damage.
Microsoft
Page 38
2008 Ford Focus S

If transmission fluid needs to be added, add transmission fluid in 0.25L (1/2 pt) increments through the
transmission filler tube. Do not overfill the transmission fluid. For transmission fluid type, refer to
SPECIFICATIO S.
Check The Transmission Fluid Condition
1. Check the transmission fluid level.

2. Observe the color and the odor. The color under normal circumstances should be reddish, not brown
or black.
3. Allow the transmission fluid to drip onto a facial tissue and examine the stain.
4. If evidence of solid material is found, the transmission fluid pan should be removed for further
inspection.
5. If transmission fluid contamination or transaxle failure is confirmed by the sediment in the bottom of
the transmission fluid pan, the transaxle must be disassembled and completely cleaned.
6. Carry out diagnostic checks and adjustments. Refer to Diagnosis By Symptom.
Water in Transmission Fluid
To correctly repair an automatic transmission or transaxle that has had water or coolant introduced into the
system, completely disassemble, clean and replace the following parts:
All internal and external seals
All friction material; clutches and bands
Torque converter
All parts with bonded seals
All solenoids
All transmission fluid filters
Prior to installing the transmission or transaxle, the transmission fluid cooler(s), transmission fluid cooler
tubes and transmission fluid cooler hoses need to be flushed and cleaned.
ROAD TESTI G VEHICLE
NOTE:
Always drive the vehicle in a safe manner according to driving conditions

and obey all traffic laws.
The Shift Point Road Test and Torque Converter Clutch Operation Test provide diagnostic information on
transaxle shift controls and torque converter operation.
SHIFT POI T ROAD TEST
This test verifies that the shift control system is operating correctly.
1. Bring engine and transaxle up to normal operating temperature.
2. Operate the vehicle with the selector lever in the D position (overdrive switch ON).
3. Apply minimum throttle and observe the speeds at which upshift occurs and torque converter engages.
Refer to the following Shift Speeds Chart for the appropriate final drive ratio. (Also refer to the
Microsoft

Automatic Transaxle Specifications Issue.)

Stop the vehicle. Select the D position (overdrive switch OFF). Repeat Step 3. The transaxle will
make all upshifts, except 3rd to 4th, and torque converter clutch (TCC) apply should occur above 80
km/h (50 mph).
Press the accelerator pedal to the floor, wide open throttle (WOT). The transaxle should shift from 3rd
to 2nd, or 3rd to 1st, depending on vehicle speed, and TCC should release.
With vehicle speed above 48 km/h (30 mph), move the selector lever from D position to L position
and release the accelerator pedal. The transaxle should immediately downshift to 2nd gear. When
vehicle speed drops below 32 km/h (20 mph), the transaxle should downshift into 1st gear.
If transaxle fails to upshift/downshift or torque converter clutch does not apply/release, refer to
Diagnosis By Symptom for possible causes.

1. Preliminary Inspection.
2. Know and Understand the Customer Concern.
3. Verify the Concern - Carry out the Torque Converter Operation Test; refer to Torque Converter
Operation Test in this article.
4. Carry out Diagnostic Procedures.
Run On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) With Scan Tool, refer to Diagnostics.
Repair all non-transaxle related DTCs first.
Repair all transaxle DTCs.
Rerun OBD to verify repair.
Carry out the Line Pressure Test. Refer to Special Testing Procedures.
Carry out the Stall Speed Test. Refer to Special Testing Procedures.
Carry out the Diagnosis by Symptom Index. Refer to Diagnosis By Symptom.
Use the index to locate the appropriate routine that best describes the symptom(s). The
routine will list all possible components that may cause or contribute to the symptom.
Check each component listed; diagnose and repair as necessary before installing a new
torque converter.
Torque Converter Operations Test
This test verifies that the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) control system and the torque converter are
operating correctly.
1. Carry out the Self Test, see On-Board Diagnostics With Scan Tool, refer to Diagnostics. Check for
DTCs. Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Charts .
2. Monitor ECT, TFT and RPM PIDs.
3. Bring the engine to normal operating temperature by driving the vehicle at highway speeds for
approximately 15 minutes in Overdrive (O/D) position.
4. After normal operating temperature is reached, maintain a constant vehicle speed of about 80 km/h
(50 mph) and tap the brake pedal with the left foot.
5. The engine RPM should increase when brake pedal is tapped, and decrease about 5 seconds after
pedal is released. If this does not occur, see Torque Converter Operation Concerns. Refer to
Diagnosis By Symptom.
6. If the vehicle stalls in O/D or D at idle with vehicle at a stop, move the position selector lever to
manual L position. If the vehicle stalls, refer to Torque Converter Operation Concerns in the
Diagnosis By Symptom. Repair as necessary. If the vehicle does not stall in O/D position, refer to
VISUAL I SPECTIO
This inspection will identify modifications or additions to the vehicle operating system that may affect
diagnosis. Inspect the vehicle for non-Ford factory add-on devices such as:

Vehicle modification:
These items, if not installed correctly, will affect the PCM, or transaxle function. Pay particular attention to
add-on wiring splices in the PCM harness or transaxle wiring harness, abnormal tire size, or axle ratio
changes.
Leaks; refer to Leakage Inspection.
Correct selector lever linkage adjustments; refer to AUTOMATIC
TRA SAXLE/TRA SMISSIO EXTER AL CO TROLS article.
Selector Lever Linkage Check
Check selector lever linkage adjustment by matching the detents in the selector lever with those in the
transaxle. If they match, the error is in the indicator. Do not adjust the selector lever linkage.
Hydraulic leakage at the manual control valve can cause delay in engagements and slipping while operating
if the selector lever linkage is not correctly adjusted. Refer to AUTOMATIC
TRA SAXLE/TRA SMISSIO EXTER AL CO TROLS article for selector lever linkage
adjustment.
Check TSBs
Refer to all TSBs which pertain to the transaxle concern and follow the procedure as outlined.

Diagnosing an electronically controlled automatic transaxle is simplified using the following procedures. It
is important to remember that there is a definite procedure to follow. Do not take short cuts or assume that
critical checks or adjustments have already been made. Follow the procedures as written to avoid missing
critical components or steps. By following the diagnostic sequence, the technician will be able to diagnose
and repair the concern the first time.
On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) with Scan Tool
NOTE:
For detailed instruction and other diagnostic methods using the scan tool,
refer to the tester and the Introduction - Gasoline Engines article.
These quick tests should be used to diagnose the PCM and should be carried out in order.

TRA SAXLE DRIVE CYCLE TEST

NOTE:
Always drive the vehicle in a safe manner according to driving conditions

and obey all traffic laws.
NOTE:
The Transaxle Drive Cycle Test must be followed exactly. Transaxle failure
must occur 4 times consecutively for shift error DTC to be set, and 5 times
consecutively for continuous Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) code to set.
NOTE:
When carrying out the Transaxle Drive Cycle Test, refer to the Solenoid
Application Chart for correct solenoid operation.
After carrying out the Self Test, use the Transaxle Drive Cycle Test for checking continuous codes.
1. Record and then erase Self Test DTCs.
2. Warm engine to normal operating temperature.
Microsoft
Page 45
2008 Ford Focus S

3. Make sure transmission fluid level is correct.

4. With transaxle in Overdrive (O/D) position, moderately accelerate from stop to 80 km/h (50 mph).
This allows the transaxle to shift into 4th gear. Hold speed and throttle open steady for a minimum of
15 seconds.
NOTE:
Pressure Control Solenoid A (PCA), Electronic Pressure Control (EPC)

and Variable Force Solenoid (VFS) all refer to the solenoids. PCA is
preferred for this transmission because the scan tool displays PCA.
5. With transaxle in 4th gear and maintaining steady speed and throttle opening, lightly apply and release
brake to operate stop lamps. Then hold speed and throttle steady for a minimum of 5 seconds.
6. Brake to a stop and remain stopped for a minimum of 20 seconds.
7. Repeat Steps 4 through 6 at least 5 times.
8. Carry out Self Test and record continuous DTCs.
After On-Board Diagnostic (OBD)
NOTE:
The vehicle wiring harness, PCM and non-transaxle sensors may affect
transaxle operations. Repair these concerns first.
After the OBD procedures are completed, repair all DTCs.

Begin with non-transaxle related DTCs, then repair any transaxle related DTCs. Refer to Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) Charts for information on condition and symptoms. This chart will be helpful in
referring to the correct manual(s) and aids in diagnosing internal transaxle concerns and external nontransaxle inputs. The pinpoint tests are used in diagnosing transaxle electrical concerns. Make sure that the
vehicle wiring harness and the PCM are diagnosed as well. The Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis
(PC/ED) manual will aid in diagnosing non-transaxle electronic components.
Before Pinpoint Tests
NOTE:
Before entering pinpoint tests, check the PCM wiring harness for correct
connections, bent or broken pins, corrosion, loose wires, correct routing,
correct seals and their condition. Check the PCM, sensors and actuators for
damage. Refer to the Introduction - Gasoline Engines article.
NOTE:
If a concern still exists after electrical diagnosis, refer to Diagnosis By

Symptom.
If DTCs appear while carrying out the OBD, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Charts for the
appropriate repair procedure. Prior to entering pinpoint tests, refer to any TSBs for transaxle concerns.

A no-drive condition can exist even with correct transmission fluid pressure because of inoperative clutches
or bands. An erratic shift can be located through a series of checks by substituting air pressure for
transmission fluid pressure to determine the location of the failure.
Follow the procedure to determine the location of the inoperative clutch or band by introducing air pressure
into the various test plate passages.
NOTE:
Use only dry, regulated 300 kPa (44 psi) maximum air pressure.
Apply air to the appropriate passage(s). A dull thud should be felt or heard or movement should be observed
when the component applies. There should be no hissing sound when the component is fully applied.
1. Drain transmission fluid and remove the transmission fluid pan.
2. Remove the main control valve body. Refer to Main Control.
3. Install the Air Test Plate and Gasket. Use the transmission fluid pan bolts to hold the test plate down.
Tighten the bolts to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).
4. Apply air to the appropriate clutch port (refer to the diagram). A dull thud may be heard or movement
felt when the component is applied or released. If clutch seals or check balls are leaking, a hissing
sound may be heard.
If test results indicate that the servos do not operate, disassemble, clean and inspect them to locate the
source of the concern.

Transmission Fluid Leakage in Torque Converter Area
In diagnosing and correcting transmission fluid leaks in the pump support and gear and torque converter
area, use the following procedures to locate the exact cause of the leakage. Leakage between the transaxle
and engine, as evidenced by fluid around the torque converter housing, may have several sources. By careful
observation it is possible, in many instances, to pinpoint the source of leakage before removing the transaxle
from the vehicle. The paths which the fluid takes to reach the bottom of the torque converter housing are
shown in the illustration. The 5 steps following correspond with the numbers in the illustration.
Fig. 84: Identifying Torque Converter Fluid Leakage Area

1. Transmission fluid leaking by the pump seal lip will tend to move along the impeller hub and onto the
back of the impeller housing. Except in the case of a total seal failure, transmission fluid leakage by
the lip of the seal will be deposited on the inside of the torque converter housing only, near the outside
diameter of the housing. Transmission fluid leaking from the vent assembly may move along the
impeller hub and onto the back of the impeller housing. Transmission fluid from a converter hub weld
leak will move along a path on the inside of the converter housing.
2. Transmission fluid leakage by the outside diameter of the pump seal and pump body will follow the
same path that leaks by the inside diameter of the pump seal follow. Transmission fluid from a
converter hub weld leak will move along a path on the inside of the converter housing.
3. Transmission fluid leakage from the converter drain plug, (model-dependent) converter seal weld or
converter-to-flexplate stud weld will appear at the outside diameter of the torque converter on the
back face of the flexplate, and in the converter housing only near the flexplate. Transmission fluid
leaks from the torque converter will leave a ring of transmission fluid around the inside of the torque
converter housing.
4. Transmission fluid that leaks by a pump-to-case screw or pump gasket will be deposited on the inside
of the torque converter housing only. Transmission fluid will not be deposited on the back of the
torque converter.
NOTE:
White facial tissue paper may aid in determining the color (red is
transmission fluid) and source of the leaking fluid.
Microsoft
Page 100
2008 Ford Focus S

5. Engine oil leaks are sometimes incorrectly diagnosed as transaxle pump gasket leaks. The following
areas of possible leakage should also be checked to determine if engine oil leakage is causing the
concern.
a. Leakage at the valve cover gasket may allow oil to flow over the torque converter housing or
seep down between the torque converter housing and cylinder block causing oil to be present in
or at the bottom of the torque converter housing.
b. Oil galley plug leaks will allow oil to flow down the rear face of the cylinder block to the
bottom of the torque converter housing.
c. Leakage at the crankshaft rear oil seal will work back to the flexplate, and then into the torque
converter housing.
Leak Check Test
1. Original factory fill transmission fluid is dyed red to aid in determining if leakage is from the engine
or transaxle. The red color should assist in pinpointing the leak.
2. Clean off any fluid from the top and bottom of the torque converter housing, the case and the rear face
of the engine and oil pan. Clean the torque converter area by washing with a suitable nonflammable
solvent and blow dry with compressed air.
3. Wash out the torque converter housing and the front of the flexplate. The torque converter housing
may be washed out using cleaning solvent and a squirt-type oil can. Blow all washed areas dry with
compressed air.
4. Start and run the engine until the transaxle reaches its normal operating temperature. Observe the back
of the cylinder block and the top of the torque converter housing for evidence of fluid leakage. Raise
the vehicle on a hoist; refer to JACKI G A D LIFTI G article and run the engine at fast idle, then
at engine idle, occasionally shifting to the D and R positions to increase pressure within the transaxle.
Observe the front of the flexplate, back of the cylinder block (in as far as possible) and inside the
torque converter housing and front of the case. Run the engine until fluid leakage is evident and the
probable source of leakage can be determined.
Leak Check Test With Black Light
Dye-Lite ATF/Power Steering Fluid Leak Detection Dye 164-R3701 or equivalent (specifically
formulated for ATF) is used to detect a transmission fluid leak.
1. Add Dye-Lite ATF/Power Steering Fluid Leak Detection Dye 164-R3701 to the transmission fluid.
Use one 30.0 mL (1 oz) of dye solution for every 3.8L (4 qt) of transmission fluid.
2. Start and run the engine until the transaxle reaches its normal operating temperature. Observe the back
of the cylinder block and top of the torque converter housing for evidence of fluid leakage. Raise the
vehicle on a hoist and run the engine at fast idle, occasionally shifting to the DRIVE and REVERSE
ranges to increase pressure within the transaxle. Observe the front of the flexplate, back of the
cylinder block (in as far as possible), inside the torque converter housing and the entire case until fluid
leakage is evident and the probable source of leakage can be determined.

NOTE:
Whenever the transaxle has been disassembled to install new parts, clean
and backflush the transmission fluid cooler or contaminants in the transaxle
cooling system can cause failure of the transaxle.
NOTE:
Cleaning and backflushing the transmission fluid cooling system along with
normal cleaning and inspection procedures as outlined in this article during
disassembly and reassembly will keep contamination from reentering the
transaxle and causing a repeat repair.
When internal wear or damage has occurred in the transaxle, metal particles, clutch plate material or band
material may have been carried into the torque converter and transmission fluid cooler. These contaminants
are a major cause of recurring transaxle troubles and must be removed from the system before the transaxle
is put back in use.
Transmission Fluid Cooler Flow Test
NOTE:
The selector lever linkage adjustment, transmission fluid level and line
pressure must be within specification before carrying out this test. Refer to
AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION EXTERNAL CONTROLS article
for selector lever linkage adjustment procedure. For transmission fluid level
checking procedures, refer to Preliminary Inspection. For transaxle line
pressure testing, refer to Special Testing Procedures.
1. Check the transmission fluid level and fill as necessary.

2. Remove the transmission fluid level indicator from the transmission fluid filler tube and install the
funnel in the transmission fluid filler tube.
3. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. Refer to JACKI G A D LIFTI G article.
Inspect the transmission fluid cooler tubes for damage. Install new transmission fluid cooler tubes as
needed.
4. Disconnect the transmission fluid cooler return hose from the transmission fluid cooler return tube.
5. Plug the transmission fluid cooler return hose to avoid transmission fluid loss.
6. Connect one end of a hose to the cooler return tube and route the other end of the hose up to a point
where it can be inserted into the funnel at the transmission fluid filler tube.
7. Start the engine and run at idle with the transaxle in NEUTRAL range until the transmission fluid is
warm. Temperature is important to the flow rate measurement.
Once the transmission fluid flow no longer has air bubbles in it, remove the rubber hose from
the funnel and insert it into a liter container. As soon as 0.95L (1 qt) is dispensed into the
container, install the hose into the funnel. One quart of transmission fluid should flow through
the cooling system in approximately 17-21 seconds.
8. Once adequate flow is determined, shut off the engine, remove the extension hose and reassemble the
cooler tubes with the constant tension clamp.
9. If flow is not adequate, stop the engine. Disconnect the hose from the transmission fluid cooler return
tube and connect it to the converter-out tube. If flow is now liberal, install a new transmission fluid
cooler. Refer to TRA SAXLE/TRA SMISSIO COOLI G article.

1. If a new or remanufactured torque converter is not being installed, the following steps must be
completed.
2. With the torque converter on a bench, pour a small amount of transmission fluid from the torque
converter onto an absorbent white tissue or through a paper filter and examine the transmission fluid.
3. Observe the color and odor of the transmission fluid. The transmission fluid should be red, not brown
or black. Odor may indicate an overheating condition such as clutch disc or band failure.
4. Examine the stain on the tissue for evidence of particles (spec of any kind). Examine the transmission
fluid level indicator for signs of antifreeze (gum or varnish). If particles are present in the
transmission fluid or there is evidence of engine coolant or water, a new torque converter must be
installed.
5. If there are no particles or contamination present, drain the remainder of the transmission fluid from
the torque converter.
