7A2-94 DIAGNOSIS (JR405E)
No. A2: Vehicle Does Not Run in R Range

Description:

Vehicle does not run in R range only.

It runs correctly in D, 3, 2, and L ranges.

Diagnosis Hints:

Some trouble in the AT main unit is supposed (since the vehicle can run even if the TCM is defective). However,
since the trouble of the main unit may be originated from the sensor system or output system, these systems
should be also checked to prevent reproduce of the trouble.

Possible Cause:

Slip of clutch (reverse clutch, low & reverse brake).
If slip of clutch is caused, a DTC (gear ratio error) is stored.

Shortage or faulty quality of ATF.

Dropped line pressure.

Trouble in control valve body (faulty operation, sticking, clogged oil passage).

Disordered select cable (select indicator light indicates R but the hydraulic system is not in the R range).

Faulty torque generated.

Trouble in the torque converter (faulty operation, sticking), insufficient engine output.

Malfunction of parking mechanism.

Step Action Yes No
1 Dislocation or disordered of select lever.
Does the vehicle move when the brake is released in a
position other than the P range and the vehicle is pushed?

Go to Step 2

Adjust the select cable.
2 Are any DTCs stored?
Go to DTC Chart Go to Step 3
3 Are the quantity, contamination and smell normal?
If the ATF level is low,
replenish up to the
specified level.

Go to Step 4

If ATF is extremely
black and
contaminated and
smells burnt, slip of the
clutch is supposed.
Overhaul the AT unit.
4 Is the stall revolution correct in R range? Refer the STALL
TEST section in this manual.
Go to Step 5
Repair the defect or
replace.
5 Is the line pressure correct? Refer the LINE PRESSURE
TEST section in this manual. Trouble in the AT
assembly or control
valve.
Repair the defect or

DIAGNOSIS (JR405E) 7A2-97
No. B2: Poor Acceleration at Starting

Description:

Starting acceleration is poor.

Diagnosis Hints:

In addition to the low engine output, faulty gear shifting of AT or fixing at the 3rd position may be possible.
Therefore, in case of such a trouble that "maximum speed is low, and acceleration is poor", it should be cleared
up whether the trouble is originated from the engine system of AT system by a running test, inspection of stall
revolution, etc.

Possible Cause:

Clogged air cleaner, out of injection timing, dropped compression pressure, etc.

Fixing at 3rd position (fail-safe activated).
Since the gear is fixed at the 3rd position because of the fail-safe function, a trouble that "Maximum
speed is low, and acceleration is poor" is resulted. In this case, the DTC is memorized.
When TCM stops operation because of faulty TCM ground, the gear is fixed at the 3rd position because
of a mechanical reason. In this case, no DTC is memorized.

Disordered inhibitor switch.

Incorrect properties of throttle opening signal (serial communication) of throttle position sensor.
Throttle opening signal (serial communication) of the throttle position sensor does not change in
proportion to the throttle opening. In this case, fixing at the high or low gear results in such a trouble
that "Maximum Speed is Low and Acceleration is Poor".

Slip of clutch (low clutch, high clutch).

If slip of clutch is caused, a DTC (gear ratio error) is stored.

Dropped line pressure.

Trouble in the torque converter system (faulty operation).

Step Action Yes No
1 Test Drive.
Is the gear smoothly shifted in the order of 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd,
3rd to 4th gear and lock up?

Clogged air cleaner,
out of injection
timing, dropped
compression
pressure, etc.

Go to Step 2
2 Gear ratio trouble diagnosis.
Travel in the following sequence for about 7 seconds or more in
each range: Start in the L range (1st) to 2 range (2nd) to 3 range
(3rd) to D range (4th) (to detect the gear ratio trouble exactly, this
process should be carried out)
Go to Step 3 Go to Step 3
3 Are any DTCs stored?
Go to DTC Chart Go to Step 4

DIAGNOSIS (JR405E) 7A2-127
No. F1: Low Maximum Speed or Poor Acceleration

Description:

Starting acceleration is poor.

Acceleration is slow though the accelerator pedal is stepped on during the running.

Diagnosis Hints:

In addition to the low engine output, faulty gear shifting of AT or fixing at the 3rd position may be possible.
Therefore, in case of such a trouble that "maximum speed is low, and acceleration is poor", it should be cleared
up whether the trouble is originated from the engine system of AT system by a running test, inspection of stall
revolution, etc.

Possible Cause:

Clogged air cleaner, out of injection timing, dropped compression pressure, etc.

7A2-132 DIAGNOSIS (JR405E)
No. G3: Creep Force is small

Description:

Vehicle does not move though a run range is selected on a flat road during the idling.

Diagnosis Hints:

When the creep force is small in all ranges, low engine output is considered. Another possible cause is slip of
clutch. If the creep is normal only in the R range, operation of the fail-safe function due to a trouble in the electrical
system is considered.

Possible Cause:

Slip of clutch (low clutch).
If slip of clutch is caused, a DTC (gear ratio error) is stored.

Low engine output (low idling speed, out of injection timing, lowered compression pressure, etc.).

Shortage or faulty quality of ATF.

Disconnection or short circuit of solenoid valve output.

Clogged oil passage of solenoid valve output.

Faulty ground return line in AT assembly.
If the ground return line earth is faulty, clutch pressure may decrease causing slip of the clutch.

Trouble in the torque converter system (faulty operation).

Step Action Yes No
1 Gear ratio trouble diagnosis.
Travel in the following sequence for about 7 seconds or
more in each range: Start in the L range (1st) to 2 range
(2nd) to 3 range (3rd) to D range (4th) (to detect the gear
ratio trouble exactly, this process should be carried out)
Go to Step 2 Go to Step 2
2 Are any DTCs stored?
Go to DTC Chart Go to Step 3
3 Are the quantity, contamination and smell normal? If the ATF level is low,
replenish up to the
specified level.

Go to Step 4

black and
contaminated and
smells burnt, slip of the
clutch is supposed.

4 Are the idling speed and other engine system normal?
Go to Step 5
Repair the defect or
replace.
5 Is the stall revolution normal in D, 3, 2 and L range? Refer
the STALL TEST section in this manual.
Go to Step 6
Repair the defect or
replace.
6 Is the line pressure normal? Refer the LINE PRESSURE
TEST section in this manual. Trouble in the AT
assembly or control
valve.
Repair the defect or
replace.

DIAGNOSIS (JR405E) 7A2-133
No. G4: Large Noise During Idling with the Vehicle in Stop State

Description:

The transmission is noisy during the idling speed in all ranges.

Diagnosis Hints:

Causes such as solenoid operating sound or faulty oil pump are considered.

Distinguishing to some extent is possible by stopping the solenoid operation temporarily, checking the correlation
for the former case and, changing the line pressure and confirming the correlation with noise.

As a matter of course, noise may be generated around the engine, for instance, other than the AT and should be
checked carefully.
Note:
When the noise is generated only at the time of gear shift, it may be the sound of flowing ATF or gear
noise. If the sound varies depending on the gear speed to be shifted, it may be the gear noise generated
from the planetary gear and its related components. If the sound varies depending on the vehicle
speed, it may be the gear noise of the output system, and if varying depending on the engine speed, it
may be the gear noise of the input system or faulty torque converter.
In either case, sound may be "noise" depending on the origin and resonance object. When the object
generating the sound (resonance object) and the sound source (vibration source) are different,
investigation of the cause may be difficult.





No. H1: Judder Occurs at the Lock-up

Diagnosis Hints:

The vehicle body judders at lock-up.

Diagnosis Hints:

Slip due to burning of the lockup piston or insufficient fastening due to dropped working pressure are considered.
Trouble diagnosis flow is basically the same as "No. I1: No lock-up".
Note:
When the lock-up piston has burnt, foreign material mixed in the oil cooler is considered. In such a
case, inspect the oil cooler circuit for clogging of the oil cooler.





No. H2: Large Lock-up Shock
No. H3: Lock-up Point is High or Low

Description:

Large shock is felt at lock-up.

Lock-up point is excessive high or low.

Diagnosis Hints:

Out of properties of input sensor or faulty lock-up piston pressure system are considered.

Trouble diagnosis flow is basically the same as "No. I1: No lock-up".
