Description
Hydraulic Control
The hydraulic control system is controlled by the ATF pump. the valves, and the solenoids. The ATF pump is driven by theinput shaft. The ATF pump and the input shaft are linked by the ATF pump drive chain and the sprockets, The inhibitorsolenoid valve and the linear solenoids. which are located on their valve body, are controlled by the TCM or pcM. Fluidfrom the ATF pump flows through the PH regulator valve to maintain specified pressure to the drive pulley, the driven pul-ley, and the manual valve,
The lower valve body assembly includes the main valve body, the PL regulator valve body, the shift valve body, the startclutch control valve body, and the secondary valve bodv.
Main Valve Eody
The main valve body contains the pH control valve, the rubrication valve, and the pitot regulator valve.
PH Control Valve
The PH control valve supplies PH control pressure (PHCI in accordance with the pH-pL control pressure (HLc), and sup-plies PH control pressure to the PH regulator valve, which also regulatss PH pressure. At kick-down, it increases pHcontrol pressure which increases the high (PH) pressure. This shortens the shift speed by releasing the reverse inhibitorpressure (Rl)from the inhibitor solenoid valve.
Lubrication Valve
The lubrication valve controls the lubrication pressure to each shaft and maintains lubrication pressure. When rne pres-sure is too high, the spring is compressed. This moves the lubrication valve and opens the fluid leak passage.
Pitot Regulalor Valv6
The pitot regulator valve controls the start clutch pressure (SC) in accordance with the engine speed, when the electron-ic control system is faulw.

PL Regulator Valve Body
The PL regulator valve body contains the PL regulator valve and the PH-PL control valve. which is joined wirh the pH-pL
control linear solenoid. The inhibitor solenoid is bolted on the pL regulator valve body.
. PL Regulator Valve
The PL regulator valve supplies low p.essure (pL) to the pulley to eliminate steel belt slippage.The PL pressure is controlled by the pH-pL control pressure (HLC).
. PH-PL Control Valve
The PH-PL control valve controls the PL regulator valve according to engine torque. The PH-PL control valve suooliesPH-PL control pressure (HLC) to the PH control valve to regulate PH pressure higher than pL pressure. The pH-pL con-trol valve is controlled by the PH-PL control linear solenoid. which is controlled by the TcM or pcM,
. Inhibitor Solenoid
The inhibitor solenoid controls the reverse inhibitor valve by turning on and off. Also, the inhibitor solenoad controls pH
control pressure (PHC) by applying reverse inhibitor pressure (Rl) to the PH control valve. The inhibitor solenoid is con-trolled by the TCM or Pclvl.
Start Clutch Control Valv€ Body
The start clutch control valve body contains the start clutch control valve. Both are joined to the stan clutch control linearsolenoid.
. Start Clutch Control Valve
The start clutch control valve controls start clutch engagement according to the throttle opening. The start clutch con,trol valve is controlled by the stan clutch control linear solenoid, which is controlled bv the TCM o. pCM.

Troubleshooting Procedures
(cont'd)
C. lf the inspection for a particular code requires voltage or resistance checks at the TCM or PCM connectors, removethe driver's side kick panel, and unbolt the TCM, and at the PCM connectors, remove the passenger's side kickpanel, and unbolt the PCM. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and connect the backprobe sets and a digital multimeteras described below. Check the system according to the procedure described for the appropriate code(s) listed onthe following pages.

System Description
Steering Gearbox
The rack-and-pinion type steering gearbox has a valve body unit incorporated with the pinion to control the steering fluidpressure. Steering fluid from the pump is regulated by a rotary valve in the valve body unit and is sent through the cylin,der line to the power cylinder, where hydraulic pressure is applied. The steering fluid in the other side of the power cylin,der returns through the cylinder line and valve body unit to the reservoii.

Valve Body Unit
Inside the valve body unit is the valve, which is coaxial with the pinion shaft, and controls the steering fluid pressure. Thevalve housing is connected with the fluid line from the pump, the return line to the reservoir, and the two cylinder linesfrom the respective power cylinder. The pinion shaft is double - structured with the input shaft connected to the piniongear, both of which are interconnected with the torsion bar.
The pin inserted in the valve and the pinion shaft groove engage; this allows the pinion shaft to rotate together with thevalve. Because of this construction, the difference in angle in the circumferential direction between the input shaft and thevalve becomes larger according to the torsional strength of the pinion or steering resistance. However, maximum torsionbetween the shafts is regulated by the engaged splines of the shafts at the pin engagement section to hold the torsion barwithin the set value,
This allows the steering system to function as an ordinary rack-and-pinion type steering if the steering fluid is not pressur-
ized because of a faulty pump,

when the wheel speed drops sharply below the vehicle speed, the inlet valve closes to retain the caliper fluid pressure
When the wheel speed drops further, the outlet valve opens momentarily to reduce the caliper fluid pressure. The pump
motor starts at this time.
As the wheel speed is restored, the inlet valve opens momentarily to increase the caliper fluid pressure.
Wheel SensoJ
The wheel sensors are the magnetic contactless type
As the gear pulser teeth rotate past the wheel sensor's magnetic coil, AC current is generated The AC frequency changes
in accordance with the wheel speed. The ABS control unit detects the wheel sensor signal frequency and thereby detects
the wheel speed.
There are four wheel sensors, one for each wheel
The gear pulser has 50 teeth.
