"ATSG's 2020 Technical
Training Seminar"
Introduction
Forbes published an article entitled the “Top 10 Advanced Car Technologies by 2020;” which
are: 1. Partial Autonomous Vehicles, 2. Driver Override Systems, 3. Biometric Vehicle Access,
4. Comprehensive Vehicle Tracking, 5. Active Window Displays, 6. Remote Vehicle Shutdown,
7. Active Health Monitoring, 8. Four-Cylinder Supercar, 9. Smart/Personalized In-Car
Marketing and 10. Reconfigurable Body Panels. Then you read about what the manufacturers
are talking about for the future. The World Automotive Conference was held in Istanbul on
October 17, 2019. Over 800 representatives from the automotive industry gathered to hear from
fifty speakers. Topics such as future trends, managing economic challenges and overcoming
changing industry demands. High band width connectivity, greener cars, smart infrastructure,
innovative ride share solutions to traffic jams and pollution problems were discussed.
Automotive innovations are here and no plans of seeing less of it any time soon. Yet as time
marches forward, there are some innovations that have held its own for a number of years. On
August 13, 2019, the three point seat belt invented by Volvo celebrated its 60th anniversary. It is
believed to have saved over a million lives since 1959. Likewise, as time marches forward, there
is one company since its inception that helps businesses to be profitable . Past, present and
already looking at the future, ATSG is here to stay to keep the automatic transmission and
automotive industry on the cutting edge. We thank you for your attendance of ATSG's 2020
Technical Training Seminar.

CAUSE: The Failsafe Valve “B” keeper fell out of the valve body unnoticed, refer to figure 1. That will
allow the valve and sleeve to move out far enough to create this complaint.
The keeper can easily fall out because the Failsafe Valve “B” and sleeve have no spring in the
valve lineup.
CORRECTION: Install the Failsafe Valve “B” and sleeve keeper in the location shown in figure 1 and grease it
in place to prevent it from falling out.

CAUSE: The oil pump sealing ring sleeve had shifted inward as seen in figure 2 causing sealing ring
leakage and the failure of the engine clutch friction plates. The sleeve should be flush with the
pump cover, it is not. If you look closely you can actually see two sets of sealing ring wear
patterns, the second set was created after the sleeve moved. After the sleeve moved one of the
three Teflon® sealing rings is not even riding in the sleeve refer to figure 3.
CORRECTION: A new oil pump was installed into the transmission with a new set of engine clutch friction plates.
The vehicle was road tested and operated normally throughout the extensive road test.
SUMMARY: This Hybrid system uses an electric motor machine located in between the engine and
transmission to start moving this vehicle from a stop (forward or reverse) to a speed of 12kms
(7.5mph) then the engine starts and the transmission applies the engine clutch to take over. There
is no torque converter in this vehicle, if the engine is running while the vehicle is stationary its
charging the hybrid battery. The engine clutch must release while in drive at a stop. The clutches
in the vehicle when it came into the shop were burned and welded together. This caused the car to
stall aggressively when drive was selected (engine running only). If the engine was off during a
start things would appear to be fine until you let off the brake pedal, then it would chug like a
converter clutch was stuck on.

Figure 1
All four clutch pressure control solenoids are mounted in the secondary valve body which is externally mounted
along with the line pressure control solenoid and shift solenoids A and B. Shift solenoid C is also mounted externally
in the torque converter housing in close proximity to the secondary valve body for a total of eight solenoids.
This transmission also utilizes six pressure switches for each clutch except the first clutch and a there is a line
pressure switch as well.
The line pressure solenoid controls line pressure at idle to 97 - 104 psi and at 2000 rpm about 163-170 psi. The CPC
solenoids control clutch pressure and apply feel.
There is also an externally mounted mainshaft and countershaft speed sensor, a park neutral switch and a fluid
temperature sensor.
A Powertrain Control Module is used to control all engine and transmission functions and converter clutch
application can occur in first through sixth gears. Checking transmission fluid is accomplished with a filler tube and
dip stick and requires Honda DW-1 fluid or an authorized substitute. Dry fill capacity is 7.2 Liters (7.6 Quarts) and
service fill is 3.1 Liters (3.3 Quarts).

HONDA ODYSSEY BYKA
3RD CLUTCH PISTON SEAL FAILURE
COMPLAINT: A 2012 Honda Odyssey equipped with the BYKA six speed transmission has complaints of
erratic shifts. The transmission had an intermittent and inconsistent 2-3 shift. Sometimes it would
have a slight 2-3 flare and bump, and sometimes it would have a more serious flare and a large
bump. On other occasions it shifted into third, then neutral and back to third. In addition a P0776
code was stored for “Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid B Stuck Off”.
A solenoid pack was replaced but the complaint remained. The solenoid pack was removed so the
clutch feed ports could be exposed and the third clutch was air checked, refer to figure 1. The air
check had poor results due to a leak in the third clutch drum, the location of which can be seen in
figure 2.
CAUSE: The third clutch outer piston seal had failed. The type of failure is referred to as a “spiral failure”
as seen in figure 3.
SUMMARY: This type of failure is typically seen on long stroke hydraulic piston seals when some segments of
the o-ring slide while other segments simultaneously roll. This can happen with eccentric
components, wide clearance combined with side loads, uneven surface finishes, inadequate
lubrication, o-ring material is too soft or stroke speeds are too slow. There were no visible signs
seen that would point to the cause.
It would be interesting to see if this vehicle comes back with the same failure. Based on the failure
explanation above it would seem that the drum would be at fault.

CAUSE: The Torque Converter Check Valve and the Lubrication Check Valve located in the main valve
body had their locations switched, refer to figure 1.
CORRECTION: Install the Torque Converter Check Valve and the Lubrication Check Valve in their correct
locations in the main valve body as seen in figure 2. Once the transmission was reassembled with
the Torque Converter Check Valve and the Lubrication Check Valve in their correct locations, the
complaints were no longer present.

CAUSE: This is caused by contamination getting into the valve body mounted oil pressure switches which
are very susceptible to this condition. In addition the TCM software may be overly sensitive to
pressure switch code storage.
NOTE: If the vehicle in question has delayed engagements, this bulletin does NOT apply.
CORRECTION: Replace oil pressure switches A and B, refer to figure 1, and replace the transmission fluid filter.
Program the A/T Control Module with the latest software updates.

When engagement pressure is supplied to the applicable clutch and brake, the oil pressure switch
contact point closes. The TCM detects that clutch engagement pressure is supplied to the applicable
clutch/brake by opening/closing the oil pressure switch contact point.
NOTE: Use caution when removing Oil Pressure Switch Manifold “A” to avoid damaging the ATF
Temperature Sensor.

Figure 1
CAUSE: The high clutch bonded piston was compromised, refer to figure 1.
SUMMARY: A number of CVT transmissions would not be capable of a flared shift due to design which may
use a clutch for forward and reverse engagement but use only pulleys for gear ratio changes.
The CVT7 is unique in that it uses a low brake and a high clutch to make an actual 1-2 shift then
reverts to pulley operation for higher gear ratio changes. This is why the CVT can have a flare on
the 1-2 or 2-1 shift as the pulleys range from a low wrap to a high wrap and vice versa.
The flare has been mistaken for a pressure problem which could lead the technician to suspect a
slipping pulley or the pump flow control valve seen in figure 2. The valve is well known to wear.
A worn secondary regulator valve in the valve body can also cause these symptoms due to the fact
that this valve shown in figure 3 is also prone to wear.

COMPLAINT #2: All Nissan vehicles using the RE0F11 (CVT7) CVT Transmission may have a complaint of
P0715 “Input Speed Sensor A Circuit” stored after overhaul.
CAUSE #1: The input speed sensor “B” exciter wheel is pressed onto the upper sheave of the secondary
pulley. The exciter wheel can become loose and start to spin around freely. This will create an
erratic signal which will result in the P2765 code being generated.
CAUSE #2: The input speed sensor “A” exciter wheel is attached to the primary pulley sheave and is
comprised of a number of fingers that are made of soft metal. The fingers can be easily bent
from handling during the disassembly or reassembly process, refer to figure 2. If the fingers
are bent enough to increase the allowable air gap between the exciter wheel and the tip of the
speed sensor, then trouble code P0715 will be stored.
CORRECTION #1: Gently tap the secondary speed sensor exciter wheel down on the pulley sheave. Then solder
the exciter wheel to the pulley sheave in equally spaced areas as seen in figure 1, do not use
excessive or prolonged heat to avoid pulley damage. This will prevent the exciter wheel from
coming loose again.
CORRECTION #2: Using a dial caliper, take a measurement from the exciter wheel finger to the speed sensor
mounting area of the transmission case as shown in figure 3.
Then measure the speed sensor from its mounting surface area to the tip of the sensor as seen
in figure 4. Subtract one measurement from the other. The distance should be not more than
.040” (1.016mm).
If the measurement is greater than .040” (1.016mm) the finger will have to be bent into
specification. This procedure will have to be performed with each exciter wheel finger that is
out of specification.

CAUSE: A rodent had chewed through a wiring harness leading to the knock sensor, refer to figure 1.
CORRECTION: The wiring harness was repaired, the code P0318 was cleared and vehicle operation returned to
normal.
To prevent wire damage due to rodents, rodent resistant electrical tape is available as seen in
figure 2. This tape is infused with Capsaicin which is the equivalent of extremely hot peppers
which rodents dislike.
Rodents also dislike the smell of peppermint which can be bought in spray applicator containers
at local hardware stores.
Many thanks to Bill Harris from Deltrans Transmission for sharing his experience with ATSG.
Figure 2
CAUSE: The direct clutch sun gear had broken away from the clutch hub as seen in figure 1.
CORRECTION: With the direct clutch sun gear hub replaced the transmission returned to normal operation.
Many thanks to Harold from Grisham Transmission Center for the photos and sharing his experience with ATSG.
Figure 1
CAUSE: The C1 clutch housing sealing ring has cut a groove in the sealing ring bore inside the end cover
below the caged needle bearing as seen in figure 1. The delay into forward is a result of the leak in
the C1 clutch caused by sealing ring groove as well as the flared 5-4 coast down shift when the C1
clutch has to apply.
CORRECTION: Replace the end cover and reset the clutch adaptations to avoid engagement and down shift
issues.
SERVICE INFORMATION:
Toyota U660E End Cover..........................................................................................35102-3306
Figure 1
CAUSE: After disassembly of the transmission, the C1/C2 Clutch Housing shaft support bearing in the
end cover is found to be damaged.
CORRECTION: Rather than buy an expensive end cover, the bearing is available for replacement. Using an
appropriate blind bearing puller, remove the damaged bearing as shown in figures 1 and 2. Then
press the new bearing in place.
SERVICE INFORMATION:
U660E C1/C2 Clutch Housing Shaft Support Bearing..........................................90080-36120
Figure 1
Figure 2
CAUSE: The location of the pressure switch assembly can be seen in figure 1.When the pressure switch
assembly was removed from the valve body, it was noticed that the assembly contained only one
pressure switch, refer to figure 2. The pressure switch assembly from the dealer contained three
pressure switches, refer to figure 3.
This vehicle being a 2010 model, should have three pressure switches. This is so from it’s
introduction in 2007 up to and including the 2011 model year. From the 2012 model and later,
only one pressure switch is required.
Further inspection of the valve body revealed that a valve body plate had only one feed passage,
refer to figure 4. To operate three pressure switches the valve body plate would require three feed
passages as seen in figure 5. The pressure switch feed plates for one and three pressure switches
can be seen in figures 6 and 7. Therefore it would seem someone installed an entire valve body
assembly from a 2012 or later vehicle, this is what caused the codes to set due to the fact that the
TCM had circuitry for all three pressure switches. The internal wire harness had only three wires
instead of five, one for the pressure switch and two for the transmission temperature sensor.
This means that only pressure switch 3 was connected to the TCM while pressure switches 1 and
2 were open circuits.
CORRECTION: The correct valve body assembly was installed into the vehicle and the codes were cleared.
During the road test the pressure switch codes did not return.
Many thanks to Jon from Wilson Transmissions for sharing his experience with ATSG.

CAUSE: The factory calibration setting for the C3 Clutch Control Valve was not correct for this vehicle
application.
CORRECTION: Since turning the C3 Clutch Control Valve adjusting screw out increases pressure, the screw was
turned out 1½ turns, refer to figure 1. This eliminated the 2-3 flared shift complaint.
SUMMARY: The technician stated that this 2-3 flared shift complaint has since been corrected three more
times by using the same procedure all with brand new OEM valve bodies.
There are clutch control valve adjusters for the B1, C1 and C2 clutch control valves in addition to
the C3. Turning these screws out one quarter of a turn will increase clutch pressure
approximately four (4) psi. It is suggested that turning the screw out one half turn to begin with
and then see what the result of that adjustment produces. The chart in figure 2 indicates which
solenoid controls which clutch.
Builder Note: Always mark the original clutch control valve adjustment screw position in the
event it must be returned to the original setting.

PARTS AFFECTED:
(1) The tapered bearings in this transmission have been manufactured to reduce inner friction losses.
Some of the tapered bearings now have larger diameter and shorter length bearing rollers.
(2) The torque converter in order to reduce noise and vibration when converter clutch applies at lower
engine rpms now is equipped with a Long Travel Dampener which has an inner circle of dampening
springs.
(3) The Transmission Control Module has the same hardware configuration as the first generation TCM
but the software is different.
(4) Clutch pressure control solenoids now create faster shifting by making all linear solenoids more
effective. The was achieved by removing the hydraulic part of the solenoid. Magnetic flow in the
solenoid has been increased and the gap between the piston and the coil has been reduced.
(5) Sealing rings have smaller sealing surfaces which reduces friction. The sealing ring surface is tapered
and pressure on the sealing surface is reduced.
(6) Friction plate pads reduce the impact of drag losses between the friction pads, this created optimum oil
flow between the friction surfaces and the steel plates.
INTERCHANGEABILITY:
None of the above mentioned components should be used in a generation one transmission.

Figure 1
Figure 2
CAUSE: In some cases it was a burned out stop light bulb, figure 1. It appears that the LR3s are sensitive to
brake light issues and will prevent an upshift.
In the case of the LR3 that stored the P0504, the brake switch was the cause, refer to figure 2.
CORRECTION: In cases where a stop light bulb was burned out, replacement of the bulb restored the upshift
capability.
In the case of the faulty stop light switch, a new switch returned the vehicle to normal
transmission operation, however, removing and installing the stop light switch in an LR3 is no
simple task.
Take a look at a new stop light switch in figure 3, this will give a better idea on how it fits in its
bracket.
Follow these steps for stop light switch removal:
Move the driver's seat all the way back to improve access. Locate the big rectangular trim
panel with the crotch cooling vent immediately under the steering column.
This panel is hinged at the bottom and held in place by two of those horrible Land Rover
spring clips, one at each top corner.
Grab the trim panel by putting a couple of fingers in the gap by the steering column and using
the other hand to pull quite hard first at one corner and then at the other until they release.
Drop it down and remove it and then spend a few minutes finding the spring clips which will
have pinged off and tried to hide from you.
You should now be able to see the brake light switch attached to it's bracket just above the
brake pedal. Note that the switch sits at an odd angle but that is how it goes.
At this point you might find it useful to loosen the lower trim panel by releasing the two turn
buttons just by using a screwdriver to turn them back about half a turn. The panel won't come
off but you can pull it down a bit in the middle.
Now reach in (small hands are a bonus here) get hold of the switch and turn it CLOCKWISE
a quarter turn until it releases from the bracket and carefully release the wiring plug from the
switch, a little bit of gentle prying with a flat blade screwdriver helps to get it started but don't
use any force.
Reverse this procedure to install the switch.
Figure 1
Figure 3
CAUSE: When the pan, mechatronic unit, front cover and stator are removed, the entire gear train can now
be pulled out as seen in figure 1. All components are contained in the output shell. With the
removal of two snap rings all gear train components can removed from the output shell. Once
disassembled the output shaft and P2 planetary is what is left.
Since all clutch packs air tested good, the planetary gear sets were inspected next. As can be seen
in figure 2 the input shaft and P2 planetary looks good but the planet carrier when hit with a

CAUSE: The incorrect transmission fluid pan, filter or fluid was installed. The incorrect transmission fluid
pan can cause cavitation. The incorrect filter can cause oil flow noises that emanate from the
pump area. The incorrect fluid usage can cause premature converter clutch failure and shudder
complaints.
In addition the change of transmission fluid is to coincide with changes in converter clutch
material as well as software parameters to accommodate the change in friction and fluid.
CORRECTION: The fluid pan in figure 1 is the 7G-Tronic pan that uses a white taller overflow pipe that is
compatible with the 3mm deeper pan depth.
The fluid pan in figure 2 is the 7G-Tronic Plus pan that switched to a shorter green overflow pipe
that is compatible with the increased pan depth of 5mm. This extra 2mm of pan depth will permit
an additional 0.5 liters of fluid to be added.
The filter shown in figure 3 is the 7G-Tronic filter which has a shorter pickup tube as well as a
thinner body due to having only one layer of filtering media.
The filter shown in figure 4 is the 7G-Tronic Plus filter which has a longer pickup tube and a
thicker body due to multiple layers of filtering media.
The transmission fluid shown in figure 5 is Mercedes ATF-134 which is red in color. This fluid is
to be used only in the 7G-Tronic transmissions.
The transmission fluid shown in figure 6 is Mercedes 134-FE which is blue in color. This fluid is
to be used only in 7G-Tronic Plus transmissions.
Mercedes vehicles that are equipped with the 7G-Tronic Plus transmission will have an
equipment code of A89 and first appeared around June 2010 and will have a serial number of
2834527.
Be sure to reset all shift and TCC adapts after repairs have been completed.

The 9G-Tronic 725.011 has a W9A 700 designation. It made its first appearance as the 722.011 in the E350
BlueTEC launched in September of 2013. Model designations 212.026 and 212.226 with an OM 642.852 Engine (6
cylinder, 24 valve diesel, DOHC with direct injection).
The transmission is fitted with both an off-axis hydraulic pump and an electronic pump. The electronic pump allows
for start/stop technology as a fuel saving feature. The electric pump is also used to support working pressure,
cooling, lubrication and the emergency engaging and release of the park pawl.
As with its predecessor (the 7G-Tronic Plus/722.9), the TCM is part of the valve body assembly. The fully
integrated transmission control controller unit is connected to the CAN network receiving vehicle data it needs to
control the transmission. Integrated into this controller unit is the electrical pump, three RPM sensors (Hall type), a
Parking Pawl sensor, nine solenoids, temperature sensor, pressure and position sensor.
Following the trend seen with ZF transmissions, the 9G-Tronic has transmission filters incorporated into the pan.
One filter is for the hydraulic pump while the other is for the electric pump. According to Mercedes, the oil change
interval as per NAT2FE+ is every 125,000 km/5 years. The transmission fluid is yellow/gold in color and takes
approximately 10 Liters to fill it up.
Transmission mode selection is done electronically through the "Direct Select" lever. Economy and Sport Modes
are available by a push of the button. AMG sport packages provides a Manual mode "M" for manual tip up and tip
down shift control via steering wheel buttons.
A cooler bypass valve is used and is typically located along side the cooler. When fluid temperature is below 70° C,
the bypass valve will return the fluid back to the transmission without passing through the cooler. As the temperature
rises above 70° C, the valve begins to open. Once fluid temperature becomes greater than 90° C, the bypass valve
forces all the fluid to pass through the cooler before returning to the transmission.
In order to guarantee a safe driving state and to prevent damage to the transmission, the fully integrated transmission
control unit switches to limp-in mode if critical faults occur. With solenoid faults, the affected gear is blocked and no
longer actuated.
Systems are also in place to get the transmission out of park when a malfunction takes place as well as keeping the
transmission in the Park position when a malfunction occurs. The default action is determined by the malfunction at
hand.
The Transmission used in the PowerPoint to accommodate this technical piece was provided by ETE Reman.

The torque converter lockup clutch minimizes the power losses of the torque converter and ensures low-
slip power flow from the crankshaft to the drive shaft of the automatic transmission depending on the
engine load and vehicle speed. This allows the efficiency of the transmission to be improved. The torque
converter lockup clutch is engaged in all gears depending on the output speed, the engine load and further
parameters such as temperature and air pressure. In order to minimize the torsional vibrations caused by
the combustion engine, additional damping elements and vibration-reducing measures are required:
• Torsional damper
• Centrifugal pendulum
The torsional damper reduces the torsional vibrations caused by the combustion engine as result of
combustion jolts. The pendulum masses of the centrifugal pendulum are mounted flexibly on rollers and
produce a counter-moment due to their inertia, which minimizes the torsional vibrations from the engine
over the entire rpm range. This measure improves comfort for the driver and saves wear and tear on the
mechanical components of the transmission. A low-rpm shift program is possible, which helps to save
fuel.

MERCEDES 7G-DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION
PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
The newly developed 7G-DCT dual clutch transmission is being introduced together with the launch of the new
B-Class (model 246).
The dual clutch transmission with model designation 724.0 supersedes the "AUTOTRONIC" CVT transmis-
sion (Continuously Variable Transmission) used on the current B-Class.
During development of the dual clutch transmission, attention was paid to ensuring a compact design and to
integrating all transmission-relevant hydraulic, mechanical and electrical components. In particular, the electro-
hydraulically operated park pawl is a new feature on front-wheel drive vehicles with dual clutch transmission.
The dual clutch transmission has seven forward gears and one reverse gear. Both clutch operation and gear
changes take place on a fully automatic basis, providing the driver with shifting comfort and vehicle dynamics
of the highest level.
A special thanks to long time ATSG affiliate Mario Aristides for providing us with this transmission.
724.002/003
The K1 and K2 drum assembly is a self contained non-serviceable wet clutch with 4 frictions for each clutch
module providing 350 Nm of maximum transferable torque. Having seven speeds and reverse, this 3 shaft dual
clutch transmission can be shifted both automatically and manually. It has a gear ratio spread of 7.14 for the
724.002 version and a 7.99 for the 724.003 transmission.
The manual gear box is controlled by an Electro-hydraulic unit (TCM/Valve Body unit). Plugging into the
transmission are power and ground wires along with CAN BUS network wiring. No linkages are required as
Park, Reverse and all forward drive ranges are computer controlled via solenoids referred to as "valves". Sport
and Economy modes can be selected by the driver as well.
The 7G-DCT uses a common sump for the gear box and pinion differential. Filling capacity is 5.9 liters using
Shell DCT M I fluid. Transmission oil change interval is 100,000 kilometers as per Daimler service information.

If individual components of the electric transmission control system fail, the transmission control unit switches
to a limp-home program stored in the characteristics map. The primary purpose of this is to protect the
components and give the driver the opportunity to drive to the nearest Mercedes-Benz work shop despite the
failure. Depending on the particular fault, measures can be implemented by the engine control system to prevent
damage or excessive stress on the dual clutch transmission e.g. reduction of torque.
If a shift-relevant component can no longer be actuated or operated, an entire sub-transmission will no longer
be available due to the defective component. The driver is informed of this visually by the multifunction display
and acoustically by a gong. Furthermore, the driver will experience a reduction in shift comfort and, depending
on the particular malfunction, may no longer be able to engage reverse gear.
Sub-transmission 1 :Gears "1-3-5-7" and reverse gear "R", because 1st gear also has to be engaged for power
transmission in reverse gear
Sub-transmission 2: Gears "R-2-4-6"
If the power flow of both clutches fails, e.g. due to a system pressure drop in the dual clutch transmission or due
to a defective actuation system /clutch operation system, the vehicle coasts without power transmission and no
longer has any traction.
If the fault in question is a sporadic fault, the vehicle can be driven on without any limitations after the next
ignition sequence (the transmission control unit must "go to sleep" with the ignition off and the fault status
stored in the fault memory must change from "ACTIVE" to "STORED"). If the fault is still present, the vehicle
can no longer be driven.
If a gear control valve fails, one of the sub-transmissions will no longer be available depending on the
defective/inoperative control valve. The vehicle can still be driven to the nearest repair facility.
