TIME LAG TEST
If the shift lever is shifted while the engine is idling, there will be a certain time elapse 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: .
wPerform the test at normal operating fluid temperature (122 ± 176°F or 50 ± 80°C).
wBe sure to allow one minute interval between tests.
wMake three measurements and take the average value.
MEASURE TIME LAG
(a) Fully apply the parking brake.
(b) Start the engine and check the idle speed.
Idle speed (N range): 700 rpm (A540E and A540H)
(c) Shift the shift lever from N to D position. Using a stopwatch, measure the time it takes from shifting
the lever until the shock is felt.
Time lag: Less than 1.2 seconds.
(d) In the same manner, measure the time lag for N ± R.
Time lag: Less than 1.5 seconds.
EVALUATION
(a) If N ± D time lag is longer than specified:
wLine pressure too low
wForward clutch worn
wO/D one±way clutch not operating properly
(b) If N ± R time lag is longer than specified:
wLine pressure too low
wDirect clutch worn
wFirst and reverse brake worn
wO/D one±way clutch not operating properly

HYDRAULIC TEST
PREPARATION
(a) Warm up the transaxle fluid.
(b) Remove the transaxle case test plug and connect the hydraulic pressure gauge.
SST 09992±00094 (Oil pressure gauge)
NOTICE:
wPerform the test at normal operating fluid temperature (122 ± 176°F or 50 ± 80°C)
wThe line pressure test should always be carried out in pairs. One should observe the conditions of
wheels or wheel stoppers outside the vehicle while the other is performing the test.
MEASURE LINE PRESSURE
(a) Fully apply the parking brake and chock the four wheels.
(b) Start the engine and check idling rpm.
(c) Step down strongly on the brake pedal with your left foot and shift into D range.
(d) Measure the line pressure when the engine is idling.
(e) Press the accelerator pedal all the way down. Quickly read the highest line pressure when engine
speed reaches stall speed.
(f) In the same manner, perform the test in R range.

2. 2 RANGE TEST
Shift into the 2 range and, while driving with the accel-
erator pedal held constantly at the full throttle valve
opening position, push in one of the pattern selectors
and check or the following points.
(a) Check to see that the 1 ± 2 up±shift takes place and
that the shift point conforms to it shown on the auto-
matic shift schedule. (See page AT±230)
(b) While running in the 2 range and 2nd gear, release
the accelerator pedal and check the engine braking ef-
fect.
EVALUATION
If there is no engine braking effect:
w Second coast brake is defective (f) Check for the lock±up mechanism.
(1) Drive in D range, O/D gear, at a steady speed
(lock±up ON) of about 75 km/h (47 mph).
(2) Lightly depress the accelerator pedal and check
that the engine rpm does not change abruptly.
If there is a big jump in engine rpm, there is no
lock±up. (d) While running in the D range, 2nd, 3rd and O/D
gears, check to see that the possible kick±
down vehicle speed limits for 2 ± 1, 3 ± 2 and
O/D ± 3 kickdowns conform to those indicated
on the automatic shift schedule. (See page
AT±230)
(e) Check for abnormal shock and slip at kick±down.
(c) Check for abnormal noise at acceleration an4
deceleration, and for shock at up±shift and
down shift.

vehicle in place.(b) While running in the L range, release the acceler-
ator pedal and check the engine braking effect.

3. INSPECT EACH UP±SHIFT POSITION
(a) Warm up the engine.
Coolant temperature: 176
°F (80°)
(b) Turn the O/D switch to ºONº.
(c) Place the pattern select switch in ºNormalº and the shift
lever into the D range.
(d) During a road test (above 10 km/h or 6 mph) check that volt-
age at the Tt terminal is as indicated below for each up±
shift position.
If the voltage rises from 0V to 7V in the sequence shown,
the control system is okay.
The chart on the left shows the voltmeter reading and cor-
responding gears.
HINT: Determine the gear position by a fight shock or
change in engine rpm when shifting. The lock±up clutch will
turn ON only infrequently during normal 2nd and 3rd gear
operation. To trigger this action, press the accelerator pedal
to 50% or more of its stroke. At less than 50%, the voltage
may change in the sequence 2v ± 4V ± 6V ± 7V. 2. INSPECT BRAKE SIGNAL
(a) Depress the accelerator pedal until the Tt terminal indi-
cates 8V.
(b) Depress the brake pedal and check the voltage read-
ing from the Tt terminal.

1. INSPECT THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR SIGNAL
(a) Turn the ignition switch to ON. Do not start the engine.
(b) Connect a voltmeter to terminals Tt and E1.
(c)while slowly depressing the accelerator pedal, check
that Tt terminal voltage rises in sequence.
If the voltage does not change in proportion to the
throttle opening angle, there is a malfunction in the
throttle position sensor or circuit.

INSPECT SLIDING ROOF GLASS ALIGNMENT
(a) Start the engine and check the operation time of the
sun roof.
Operation time: Approx. 5 secs.
(b) Check for abnormal noise or binding during opera-
tion.
(e) With the sun roof fully closed, check for water leak-
age.
(d) Check for a difference in level between the sliding
roof glass and roof panel.

Rear side: 1.9 + 2.0 mm (0.075 +0.079 in.)
±1.0 ±0.039
If the sliding roof does not operate:
(a) Remove the control switch cover.
(b) Using a special crank±shaped screwdriver, remove
the large screw inside.
NOTICE: Be careful not to lose the spring washer or
shim.
(e) Manually operate the sun roof by inserting a special
crank±shaped screwdriver into the hole and turning
the drive shaft.
ADJUSTMENT OF SLIDING ROOF
1. REMOVE INNER PANEL SIDE GARNISH
Before making adjustments, remove the inner panel side
garnish.
HINT: After adjustment, reinstall the inner panel side gar-
nish.
2. TO ADJUST LEVEL DIFFERENCE
Adjust by increasing or decreasing the number of shims.
HINT: If the front of the sliding roof is high, even without a
shoe shim, chek to see if the front shoes are in contact with
the stoppers.
3. TO ADJUST FORWARD OR REARWARD
Adjust by loosening the sliding roof installation bolts, and
move the sliding roof front shoe forward and rearward.
