Re: Transmission fluid frequency of change in 02 Axiom [3h1ax02] by walk_the_walk2

Based on the high number of problems with transmission FAILURES reported by owners on this year model (which I also own and personally had trouble with myself), I would recommend that you change the fluid at 50K miles. Since there is no easily accessible fill port, you will likely need to get this done by your local ASE certified mechanic. Also, I paid extra for synthetic tranny fluid and recommend you do, too, since this tran is failure prone.
 
But, equally important is the little seal on the side of the tranny. There is a device called a modulator on the side of the transmission and the seal on the modulator is very prone to failure. Mine made a thunking noise, and the seal "popped" at 42K miles, right in the middle of DisneyWorld in Orlando, (literally), and during peak exit time traffic. The effects were immediately noticable, as the tranny began to shudder and shift really hard. Pulled over a, spotted the leak, and then we limped home (remember - there is no way to fill the fluid on this model). Should've had it towed instead, but there was no long term damage that I can tell, and the repair was covered by warranty. Now at 92K miles on synth. fluid which I changed at 70K, and will do it again around 105K.
 
Moral of this story is to check that modulator seal regularly and change fluid often - it's the best money you can spend on your car and the best prevention against tranny failure (other than not hotrodding the vehicle).
 
Hope that helps.

How in the world did you wind up with any 2002 vehicle with just 28K??
 
Let us know why the miles are soooo low please.

I think your advice on changing tranny fluid is sound and going over 60K is just asking for trouble. If you can afford the extra $$'s synthetic is always the way to go. Pay now or pay later is good advice for justifying the expense of synthetic. I run a 2 cylinder welder on synthetic only and its more than 30 years old and still runs like new.
 
Now on the 4L30 transmission; With the exception of the side accumulator seal failures I think this transmission is probably the most robust part of this crappy car and is a reliable transmission used by many high end car vendors. Granted the accumulator seal failure is a failure but it's a simple one to fix. I think the biggest problem is that it leaks while you are driving so you never see an oil stain for a warning. Couple that with no trans dipstick and it's a setup for failure.

My reduced power light has come on along with the check engine light and when it happened the car wouldn't go more than 35miles per hour. I took it to a parts store and various codes showed up po401, p11125,p1295,p1515,p0300 any help with finding these codes would help. thanks.

I think 50k is even too long. It was suggested by an ex-Isuzu mechanic to do a fluid change every 30k and at the 60k interval add in changing the transmission filter. I definitely have no faith in the 120k fluid change. That is way too long.

I found these so far:
 
The codes in question and the definitions are:
P1125 Isuzu Electronic Throttle Control Limit Performance Mode
P1221 Isuzu Throttle Position Sensor 1-2 Circuit Performance
P1295 Isuzu Electronic Throttle Control Power Management Mode
P1515 Isuzu TP Sensor To MAF Sensor
Correlation
 
Still looking for a Isuzu Master List.

Formating is weird but this is the best I can do so far. Anyone else out there have a better Isuzu specific list?? Even some of these descriptions need an interpretation.
