The SonnaFlow® Kit FM-01KA provides a reliable and accurate way to detect flow-related transmission problems during vehicle road tests or on a dynamometer. This innovative flow meter diagnostic tool kit measures ATF cooler flow rates in gallons per minute and can be connected to a lab scope with the addition of an optional output signal adapter kit FM-03K, resulting in digital output that can be graphed and recorded. Standard components include a meter featuring large display numbers and a low-flow warning light, flow sensor, technical manual, starter kit of fittings, detachable power cord, 12' insulated signal cable and durable electrical connectors.

The SonnaFlow is not meant for permanent installation or for prolonged use. The SonnaFlow meter is spliced into the return line from the radiator to the transmission case, and should be removed after testing. It can be installed in any vehicle, whether the cooler return line is made of rubber or metal (metal return lines require a separate adapter). The power cord connects to the cigarette adapter, or can be modified for direct connection to the fuse box or the battery.
