ATF Cooler Cleaning

Special Tools Required
• ATF cooler cleaner GHTTTCF6H
• Magnetic nonbypass spin-on filter GTHGNBP2
These special tools are available through the Honda
Tool and Equipment Program 1-888-424-6857.
Before installing an overhauled or remanufactured
automatic transmission, you must thoroughly clean the
ATF cooler to prevent system contamination. Failure to
do so could cause a repeat automatic transmission
failure.
The cleaning procedure involves heated ATF-Z1
delivered under high pressure (100 psi). Check the
security of all hoses and connections. Always wear
safety glasses or a face shield, along with gloves and
protective clothing. If you get ATF in your eyes or on
your skin, rinse with water immediately.
• Improper use of the ATF cooler cleaner can result
in burns and other serious injuries.
• Always wear eye protection and protective
clothing, and follow this procedure.
1. Check the fluid in the cooler cleaner tank. (The fluid
level should be 4.5 inches from the top of the filler
neck.) Adjust the level if needed; do not overfill.
Use only Honda ATF-Z1; do not use any additives.

2. Plug the cooler cleaner into a 110 V grounded
electrical outlet.
Make sure the outlet has no other appliances
(light fixtures, drop lights, extension cords)
plugged into it. Also, never plug the cooler
cleaner into an extension cord or drop light;
you could damage the unit.

3. Flip the HEAT toggle switch to ON; the green
indicator above the toggle switch comes on. Wait
1 hour for the cooler cleaner to reach its operating
temperature. (The cooler cleaner is ready to use
when the temperature gauge reads 140 ° to 150 °F.)
NOTE: If the red indicator above the HEAT toggle
switch comes on, the fluid level in the tank is too
low for the tank heater to work (see step 1 of this
procedure).
4. Select the appropriate pair of fittings, and attach
them to the radiator, to the hoses, or to the banjo
bolts for flow through the ATF cooler cleaner.
