7C TROUBLESHOOTING
TROUBLESHOOTING
GENERAL NOTE
In the event of a problem with the automatic transaxle, the cause may be in the engine, powertrain,
hydraulic control system, or electrical control system. When troubleshooting, it is recommended to
begin from those points that can be judged quickly and easily. The recommended troubleshooting
sequence is described below.
STEP 1: PRELIMINARY INSPECTION Check preliminary items • ATF level and condition
• Oil leakage • Selector lever position
• Vacuum leakage
• Idle speed and ignition timing
• Tire inflation pressure • Inhibitor switch
This step checks conditions surrounding the automatic
transaxle.
STEP 2: STALL TEST Check engine stall speed This step checks the powertrain.
• Friction element slipping
• Torque converter capacity
STEP 3: TIME LAG TEST Check time lag of oil pressure supply This step checks operation of the hydraulic control system. • Friction elements slipping
• Regulating valves
STEP 4: ROAD TEST Check items on road test
• Shift point • Shift schedule
• Kick-down • Shift shock
This step checks functions of the electrical control system
and hydraulic control system.
STEP 5: OIL PRESSURE TEST Check line pressures and governor pressure This step checks major points of the hydraulic control system.
• Oil pump • Line pressure control • Governer pressure control
By following the above five steps, the cause of the problem should be located.
As another guide to faster location of the causes of problems, the Quick Diagnosis Chart is included
at pages 7C—9 to 7C—11.
In this chart, a circle is used to indicate the components that might be the cause of trouble for 54
types of problems. It is only necessary to check those components indicated by circles, at each step
of the troubleshooting process, in order to quickly locate the cause of the problem.

7C TROUBLESHOOTING
STEP 1 (PRELIMINARY INSPECTION)
In this step, the main points related to the automatic transaxle are checked. These items must be kept
in the correct condition at all times in order to assure proper operation of the automatic transaxle.
1. Automatic Transaxle Fluid (ATF)
Check ATF level and condition. (Refer to page 7C—25.)
2. Selector Lever
Check selector lever position and adjust it if necessary. (Refer to page 7C—26.)
76G07C-018
3. Oil Leakage
Check for oil leakage.
(1) Warm up the ATF.
(2) Apply the parking brake and block the wheels
to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
(3) Shift the selector lever to R range.
(4) Check if oil leaks from the noted oil seals or
gaskets.
(5) If oil leaks, replace the seal or gasket.

4. Vacuum Leakage
Check for vacuum leakage.
(1) Disconnect the vacuum hose to the vacuum
diaphragm.
(2) Connect a vacuum pump to the hose.
(3) Apply vacuum and check if vacuum leaks.
(4) If vacuum leaks, check the vacuum hose and
vacuum diaphragm. Replace if necessary.
5. Idle Speed and Ignition Timing
Check idle speed and ignition timing. (Refer to Sec-
tion 4A.)
6. Tire Inflation Pressure
Check tire inflation pressure. (Refer to page 12—2.)
7. Inhibitor Switch
Check the inhibitor switch for operation. (Refer to
page 7C—23.)
76G07C-023
7C-13

7C TROUBLESHOOTING
STEP 2 (STALL TEST)
This step is performed to determine if there is slippage of the friction elements or malfunction of the
hydraulic components.
Preparation
Check the following items prior to testing:
1. Engine coolant, engine oil and ATF levels.
2. Warm the engine thoroughly to raise the ATF temperature to operating level (50—80°C, 122—176°F).
3. Set the parking brake and block the front and rear of the wheels.
Pull the parking brake Water temperature
ATF

TROUBLESHOOTING 7C
Procedure
76G07C-025
1. Connect a tachometer to the engine.
2. Shift the selector lever to D range.
3. Depress the brake pedal firmly with the left foot, and gradually depress the accelerator pedal with
the right foot.
4. Read and note the engine speed as soon as it becomes constant; then release the accelerator pedal.
Caution
Steps 3 to 4 must be done within 5 seconds.
5. Shift the selector to N range and let the engine idle for one minute or more.
Note The idling cools the ATF and prevents oil degeneration.
6. Perform stall tests for the following ranges in the same manner.
(1) 2 range
(2) 1 range
(3) R range
Standard stall speed:
FE engine 2050—2150 rpm
F6 engine 1800—2050 rpm
Caution
Always provide adequate cooling time between individual range stall tests.
