[3] SYMPTOM SIMULATION
The most difficult case in troubleshooting is when there are no problem symptoms occurring. In s\
uch cases, a
thorough customer problem analysis must be carried out, then simulate the same or similar conditions and envi-
ronment in which the problem occurred in the customer's vehicle. No matter now much experience a technician
has, or how skilled he may be, if he proceeds to troubleshoot without confir\
ming the problem symptoms he will
tend to overlook something important in the repair operation and make a wron\
g guess somewhere, which will
only lead to a standstill. For example, for a problem which only occurs when\
the engine is cold, or for a problem
which occurs due to vibration caused by the road during driving, etc., the pr\
oblem can never be determined so
long as the symptoms are confirmed with the engine hot condition or the \
vehicle at a standstill. Since vibration,
heat or water penetration (moisture) are likely causes for problems which are \
difficult to reproduce, the symptom
simulation tests introduced here are effective measures in that the external causes are applied to the vehicle
in a stopped condition.
Important Points in the Symptom Simulation Test
In the symptom simulation test, the problem symptoms should of course be co\
nfirmed, but the problem area
or parts must also be found out. To do this, narrow down the possible problem circuits according to the sym\
ptoms
before starting this test and connect a tester beforehand. After that, carry out the symptom simulation test, judg-
ing whether the circuit being tested is defective or normal and also confir\
ming the problem symptoms at the
same time. Refer to the matrix chart of problem symptoms for each system to \
narrow down the possible causes
of the symptom.
[1] VIBRATION METHOD: When vibration seems to be the major cause.
CONNECTORS
Slightly shake the connector vertically and horizon-
tally.
WIRE HARNESS
Slightly shake the wire harness vertically and horizontally.
The connector joint, fulcrum of the vibration, and body
through portion are the major areas to be checked thor-
oughly.
PARTS AND SENSORS
Apply slight vibration with a finger to the part of the
sensor considered to be the problem cause and
check if the malfunction occurs.
HINT: Applying strong vibration to relays may result
in open relays. IN±20

the A/C switch is turned on.
If a metallic sound is heard, replace the compressor assem-
bly.
4. INSPECT PRESSURE OF REFRIGERATION SYSTEM See ºInspection of Refrigeration System with Manifold

(f) Check the fluid level at the normal operating temperature70±80
C (158±176
F) and add as necessary.
NOTICE: Do not overfill.
4. CHECK FLUID LEAKS
Check for leaks in the transmission.
If there are leaks, it is necessary to repair or replace O±rings,
seal packings, oil seals, plugs or other parts.
5. INSPECT AND ADJUST THROTTLE CABLE
(a) Remove the 2 bolts, nut and throttle body cover.
(b) Check that the throttle valve is fully closed.
(c) Check that the inner cable is not slack.
(d) Measure the distance between the outer cable end and stopper on the cable.
Standard distance:
0±1 mm (0±0.04 in.)
If the distance is not standard, adjust the cable by the adjust-
ing nuts.
(e) Install the throttle body cover, and two bolts and nut.
6. INSPECT AND ADJUST SHIFT LEVER POSITION When shifting the shift lever from the N position to other posi-
tions, check that the lever can be shifted smoothly and accu-
rately to each position and that the position indicator correctly
indicates the position.
If the indicator is not aligned with the correct position, carry
out the following adjustment procedures:
(a) Loosen the nut on the control shaft lever.
(b) Push the control shaft lever fully rearward.
(c) Return the control shaft lever 2 notches to N position.
(d) Set the shift lever to N position.
(e) While holding the shift lever lightly toward the R position side,
tighten the shift lever nut.
(f) Start the engine and make sure that the vehicle moves forward when shifting the lever from the N to D position and
reverses when shifting it to the R position.

MECHANICAL SYSTEM TESTS
AT0QT±01
STALL TESTThe object of this test is to check the overall performance of the trans\
mission and engine by measuring
the stall speeds in the D and R positions.
NOTICE:
 Perform the test at normal operating fluid temperature 50±80 C (122±176 F).
 Do not continuously run this test longer than 5 seconds.
 To ensure safety, conduct this test in a wide, clear, level area, which provides good traction.
 The stall test should always be carried out in pairs. One technician sho\
uld observe the conditions of
wheels or wheel stoppers outside the vehicle while the other is performi\
ng the test.
MEASURE STALL SPEED
(a) Chock the 4 wheels.
(b) Connect a tachometer to the engine.
(c) Fully apply the parking brake.
(d) Keep your left foot pressed firmly on the brake pedal.
(e) Start the engine.
(f) Shift into the D position. Step all the way down on the accelerator peda\
l with your right foot.
Quickly read the stall speed at this time.
Stall speed:
2,200 + 150 RPM
(g) Perform the same test in R position.

TIME LAG TEST
When the shift lever is shifted while the engine is idling, there will be a \
certain time lapse or lag before the
shock can be felt. This is used for checking the condition of the O/D direct \
clutch, forward clutch, direct
clutch, and first and reverse brake.
NOTICE:
Perform the test at normal operating fluid temperature 50±80 C (122±176 F).
 Be sure to allow a one minute interval between tests.
 Make 3 measurements and take the average value.
MEASURE TIME LAG
(a) Fully apply the parking brake
(b) Start the engine and check idle speed.
Idle speed:
650 RPM (In N position and air conditioner OFF)
(c) Shift the shift lever from N to D position. Using a stop watch, measure the time it take\
s from shifting thelever until the shock is felt.
In same manner, measure the time lag for N
R.
Time lag:
N D Less than 1.2 seconds
N R Less than 1.5 seconds

MEASURE LINE PRESSURE
NOTICE:
Perform the test at normal operating fluid temperature 50±80 C (122±176 F).
 The line pressure test should always be carried out in pairs. One technicia\
n should observe the
conditions of wheels or wheel stoppers outside the vehicle while the other is perf\
orming the test.
 Be careful to prevent the oil pressure gauge hose from interfering with \
the exhaust pipe.
(a) Warm up the transmission fluid.
(b) Remove the test plug on the transmission case left side and connect the \
oil pressure gauge SST.
SST 09992±00094
HINT: Connecting the oil pressure gauge will be made easier by moving LH sid\
e heat insulator aside.
(c) Fully apply the parking brake and chock the 4 wheels.
(d) Start the engine and check idling RPM.
(e) Keep your left foot pressed firmly on the brake pedal and shift into D p\
osition.
(f) Measure the line pressure when the engine is idling.
(g) Press the accelerator pedal all the way down. Quickly read the highest line pressure when engine speedreaches stall speed.
(h) In the same manner, perform the test in R position. AT±54

SLIDING ROOF SYSTEM
Description
Standby Operation

Current flows from the DOME fuse to terminal A1 of the sliding roof control rel\
ay (hereafter called
relay).

When the ignition switch is ON, the current flows from the power window relay to terminal A3 of the
relay.

2. OPEN operation
When the switch on the ºOPENº side of the control switch is pushed, co\
ntinuity is produced between termi-
nal A8 of the relay and body ground. Then the relay operates, the curren\
t flows through terminal A3 of the
relay
terminal B3
terminal 1 of the sliding roof motor
terminal 3
terminal B1 of the relay
terminal

the body ground, and the motor starts to run in order to open the slidi\
ng roof.
3. CLOSE operation
When the switch on the ºCLOSEº side of the control switch is pushed, c\
ontinuity is produced between termi-
nal A7 of the relay and body ground. Then the relay operates, the current f\
lows through terminal A3 of the
relay

ing roof.
Momentary Stop
When the sliding roof reaches about 200 mm (7.87 in.) short of the fully closed position, the limit \
switch
is turned from ON to OFF, so there is not continuity between terminal B1 of the relay and body g\
round No.
1. As a result, the sliding roof stops at that position.
4. TILT UP operation
When the switch on the ºUPº side of the control switch is pushed, cont\
inuity is produced between terminal
A6 of the relay and body ground. Then the relay operates, the current flow\
s through terminal A3 of the relay

terminal B1

terminal 1
terminal B3 of the relay
terminal

iding roof.
5. TILT DOWN operation When the switch on the ºDOWNº side of the control switch is pushed, co\
ntinuity is produced between termi-
nal A2 of the relay and body ground. Then the relay operates, the current f\
