INVECS-II
When in drive ("D" range), the new automatic transmission
employs an innovative shift schedule to provide a high level
of comfort and "easy driving style" that matches all driving
conditions as well as the driver's driving style.
TSB Revision
23Aa-7
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
INVECS-II features "Optimum Shift Control," which provides

shift timing the average driver perceives to be the optimum
timing under any road conditions "Adaptive Shift Control"
adjusts shift timing to match the driving habits and preferences of individual drivers.

DECISION
1. The shift patterns found satisfying by the typical driver for all
ranges of driving are stored in the computer's memory. The
computer uses this data to analyze road conditions and the
driver's style of operation, and then outputs the optimal shift
patterns stored in its memory to best match the conditions.
OPTIMUM

SELECTION
2. We introduce the latest in control technologies with an innovative new algorithm called the "neural network" that works
to imitate the decision-making processes of the human
brain. The neural network links a wide variety of input data
regarding road and operating conditions, and instantly
makes accurate shift control decisions.
COMPUTER
AC000843 AB
ADAPTIVE SHIFT CONTROL

1. The computer learns the driving habits and preferences of each individual driver by processing
driving data on engine output, tire load, foot brake
operation, etc. It then uses this data to adjust shift
timing to best suit the driver's style.
2. If the computer determines from the driving patterns that the driver is one who enjoys a relaxed,
unhurried style, it adjusts timing to execute upshifts at a lower engine speed to provide a
smooth, quiet ride. On the other hand, if the computer determines the driver to prefer a sporty ride,
it adjusts timing to shift up at a higher engine
speed to provide more powerful response.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
3. If the computer determines that the driver tends

to apply the brakes often on a descending roadway, it adjusts timing to downshift sooner so that
engine braking is more effectively applied. Conversely, if the computer determines that the driver
does not brake much while driving downhill, it
delays downshifting to minimize the effect of
engine braking.

1. Drive the vehicle until the A/T fluid temperature rises to the
normal temperature [70 80C (158 176F)].
NOTE: The A/T fluid temperature is measured with scan tool
MB991502 (MUT-II).
NOTE: If it takes some amount of time until the A/T fluid
reaches its normal operating temperature [70 80C (158
176F)], check the A/T fluid level by referring to the left diagram.
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
3. Move the selector lever through all positions to fill the torque
converter and the hydraulic circuits with fluid, and then move
the selector lever to the "N" position.
4. After wiping off any dirt around the dipstick, remove the
dipstick and check the condition of the A/T fluid.
NOTE: If the A/T fluid smells as if it is burnt, it means that
the A/T fluid has been contaminated by fine particles from
the bushings and friction materials. A transmission overhaul
and cooler line flushing may be necessary.
5. Check that the A/T fluid level is at the "HOT" mark on the
dipstick. If the A/T fluid level is less than this, add DIAMOND
ATF SP III or equivalent A/T fluid until the level reaches the
"HOT" mark.
NOTE: If the A/T fluid level is too low, the oil pump will draw
in air along with the A/T fluid, which will cause bubbles to
form. If the A/T fluid level is too high, rotating components
inside the transmission will churn the fluid and air into a
foamy liquid. Both conditions (level too low or too high) will
cause the hydraulic pressure to drop, which will result in late
shifting and slipping of the clutches and brakes.
In either case, air bubbles can interfere with normal valve,
clutch, and brake operation. Also, foaming can cause A/T
fluid to escape from the transmission vents where it may be
mistaken for a leak.

6. Securely insert the dipstick.

NOTE: The A/T fluid should always be replaced under the
following conditions:
.
When troubleshooting the transmission
When overhauling the transmission
When the A/T fluid is noticeably dirty or burnt (driving
under severe conditions)
A/T FLUID REPLACEMENT
M1231101700131
If you have an A/T fluid changer, use it to replace the A/T fluid.
If you do not have an A/T fluid changer, replace the A/T fluid by
the following procedure.
1. Disconnect the hose shown in the illustration which
connects the transmission and the oil cooler (inside the
radiator). Place a container under the hose to collect the
discharge.
AC004090AB
CAUTION
The engine should be stopped within one minute after it is
started. If all the A/T fluid has drained out before then, the
engine should be stopped at that point.
2. Start the engine and let the A/T fluid drain out.
(Running conditions: "N" range with engine idling.)
Discharge volume: Approximately 4.0 dm3 (4.2 quarts)
3. Remove the drain plug from the bottom of the transmission
case to drain the A/T fluid.
Discharge volume: Approximately 2.0 dm3 (2.1 quarts)
4. Install the drain plug with a new gasket, and tighten it to the
specified torque.
Tightening torque: 39 Nm (29 ft-lb)
AC004089 AB
CAUTION
Stop pouring if the full volume of A/T fluid can not be
added.
5. Add new A/T fluid (DIAMOND ATF SP III or equivalent)
through the oil filter tube.
Adding volume: Approximately 6.0 dm3 (6.3 quarts)
6. Repeat the procedure in Step 2. (to pump out the rest of the
contaminated A/T fluid)
7. Add new A/T fluid (DIAMOND ATF SP III or equivalent)
through the oil filler tube.
Adding volume: Approximately 4.0 dm3 (4.2 quarts)
NOTE: Check for contamination or a burnt odor. If the A/T
fluid is still contaminated or burnt, repeat Steps 6 and 7
before proceeding to Step 8.

8. Reconnect the hose which was disconnected in step 1

above, and firmly replace the dipstick.
9. Start the engine and run it at idle for one to two minutes.
10.Move the selector lever through all positions, and then move
it to the "N" position.

dipstick. If the level is less than this, add A/T fluid.
12.Drive the vehicle until the A/T fluid temperature rises to the
normal operating temperature [70 80C (158 176F)],
and then check the A/T fluid level again. The A/T fluid level
must be at the "HOT" mark.
NOTE: The A/T fluid temperature is measured with scan tool
MB991502 (MUT-II).
NOTE: The "COLD" level is for reference only; the "HOT"
level should be regarded as the standard level.
NOTE: If it takes some amount of time until the A/T fluid
reaches its normal operating temperature [70 80 C (158

13.When the A/T fluid is less than the specified level, add A/T
fluid.
When the A/T fluid is greater than the specified level, drain
the excess fluid through the drain plug to adjust the A/T fluid
to the specified level.
14.Firmly insert the dipstick into the oil filler tube.

WARNING
Wear protective eyewear that meets the require-
ments of and ANSI Z87.1 1968 and OSHA. Wear

standard industrial rubber gloves.
Keep lighted cigarettes, sparks, flames, and other
ignition sources away from the area to prevent the
ignition of combustible liquids and gases. Keep a
class B fire extinguisher in the area where the
flushing tool will be used. Keep the area well ventilated. Do not let flushing solvent come in contact
with eyes or skin. If it does, flush with water for 15
to 20 seconds. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash affected skin with soap and water. Seek medical attention.
TO COOLER
FROM COOLER
AC004075AB
When a transmission failure has contaminated the A/T fluid, the

oil cooler(s) must be flushed. The cooler by-pass valve in the
transmission must also be replaced. The torque converter must
also be replaced with an exchange unit. This will ensure that
metal particles or sludged A/T fluid are not later transferred
back into the reconditioned (or replaced) transmission. There
are two different procedures for flushing coolers and lines. The
recommended procedure is to use special tool MB995062
Flushing Tool. The other procedure is to use a hand suction
gun and mineral spirits.
1. Remove the cover plate filler plug on special tool
MB995062. Fill the reservoir 1/2 to 3/4 full with fresh flushing
solution. Flushing solvents are petroleum based solutions
generally used to clean transmission components. Do not
use solvents containing acids, water, gasoline, or any other
corrosive liquids.
2. Reinstall the filler plug on special tool MB995062.
3. Verify that the pump power switch is turned "OFF." Connect
the red alligator clip to the positive battery terminal. Connect
the black alligator clip to a good ground.
4. Disconnect the cooler lines at the transmission.
NOTE: When flushing the transmission cooler and lines,
always reverse flush.
5. Connect the BLUE pressure line to the OUTLET line (from
cooler.) cooler line.
6. Connect the CLEAR return line to the INLET line (to cooler.)
cooler line.
7. Turn the pump "ON" for two to three minutes to flush the
cooler(s) and lines. Monitor the pressure readings. Clear the
return lines. Pressure readings should stabilize below 138
kPa (20 psi) for vehicles equipped with a single cooler and
208 kPa (30 psi) for vehicles equipped with dual coolers. If
flow is intermittent or exceeds these pressures, replace the
cooler(s).
8. Turn the pump "OFF."
TSB Revision
23Aa-20
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
9. Disconnect the CLEAR suction line from the reservoir at the

cover plate. Disconnect the CLEAR return line at the cover
plate, and place it in a drain pan.
10.Turn the pump "ON" for 30 seconds to purge flushing
solution from the cooler(s) and lines. Turn the pump "OFF."
11.Place the CLEAR suction line into a one quart container of
DIAMOND ATF SP III or equivalent A/T fluid.
12.Turn the pump "ON" until all A/T fluid is removed from the
one quart container and lines. This purges any residual
cleaning solvent from the transmission cooler(s) and lines.
Turn the pump "OFF."
13.Disconnect the alligator clips from the battery. Reconnect
the flusher lines to the cover plate, and remove the flushing
adapters from the cooler lines. Reconnect the cooler lines.
OIL COOLER FLOW CHECK
M1231104900123
After the new or repaired transmission has been installed, fill to

the proper level with DIAMOND ATF SP III or equivalent A/T
fluid. The flow should be checked using the following procedure:
TO COOLER
FROM COOLER
AC004075AB
CAUTION
With the fluid set at the proper level, A/T fluid collection
should not exceed one quart or internal damage to the
transmission may occur.
1. Disconnect the OUTLET line (from cooler) at the
transmission and place a collecting container under the
disconnected line.
2. Run the engine at curb idle speed with the shift selector in
neutral.
3. If A/T fluid flow is intermittent or it takes more than 20
seconds to collect one quart of A/T fluid, replace the cooler.
4. If flow is within acceptable limits, reconnect the cooler line.
Then fill the transmission to the proper level, using
DIAMOND ATF SP III or equivalent A/T fluid.
