5.9 BREATHER

Location and Purpose. The breather is located at the top left­rear of the transmission main housing (refer to

Figure 1–3

). The breather prevents air pressure buildup within the transmission and its passage must be kept clean and open.

CAUTION: Do not spray steam, water, or cleaning solution directly at electrical connectors or the breather. Fluids forced into electrical connectors can cause false codes and cross­talk. Steam, water, or cleaning solution forced into the breather will contaminate the transmission fluid. Seal all openings, the breather, and electrical connections before spraying steam, water, or cleaning solution on the transmission.

Maintenance.The amount of dust and dirt encountered determines the frequency of breather cleaning. Use care when cleaning the transmission.
