NOTE:
. See section 11 when the malfunction indicator lamp(MlL) comes on.
. Perform an input test for the ignition control module(lCM) after finishing the fundamental tests for the
ignition system and the fuel and emissions systems.
. '97 -'98 models: The tachometer should operate nor-
mally if the ICM is OK.
L Remove the distributor ignition (Dl) cap, the distrib-
utor ignition (Dl) rotor, and the leak cover.
2. Disconnect the wires from the lCM.

Turn the ignition switch ON {ll). Check for voltage
between the BLK,^/EL wire and body ground. There
should be battery voltage.
. lf there is no battery voltage, check the BLK/rEL
wire betlveen the ignition switch and the lclvl.
. lf there is baftery voltage, go to step 4.
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll). Check for voltage
between the WHT/BLU wire and body ground. There
should be battery voltage.
. lf there is no batteryvoltage, check:- ignition coil.- WHT/BLU wire between the ICM and ignition
corl.
. lf there is battery voltage, go to step 5,
'97 model: Disconnect the ECM/PCM connector A(32P). Check for continuity on the YEL/GRN wire
between the ICM and ECM/PCM. There should be
continuity.'98 - 00 models: Disconnect the ECM,PCM connector
B (25P). Check for continuity on the YEUGRN wire
between the ICM and ECM/PCM. There should be
continuity.
Check for continuity on the YEUGRN wire to body
ground. There should be no continuity.
Reconnect the ECM/PClvl connector.
'97 -'98 models: Check for continuity on the BLU
wire between the test tachometer connector and the
lCM. There should be continuity.
'97 -'98 models: Check for continuity on the BLU
wire to body ground. There should be no continuity.
lf all the tests are normal, replace the lCM.

Ascending Control {37 Modol}
When the PCM determines that the vehicle is climbing a hill in E] and E positions, the system extends the engagement
area of 2nd g€ar and 3rd gear to prevent the transmission from frequently shifting between 2nd and 3rd gears, and
between 3rd and 4th gears, so the vehicle can run smooth and have more power when needed.
NOTE:
. Shift schedules stored in ths PCM between 2nd and 3rd gears, and between 3rd and 4th gears. enable the PCM's fuzzy
logic to automatically select the most suitable gear according to the magnitude of 8 gradient.
t Fuzzy logic is a form of artificial intslligence that lets computers respond to changing conditions much like a human
mind would.

Remove the seven bolts securing the servo body,
then remove the servo body and separator plate'
For'99 - 00 models:
Remove the eight bolts securing the servo body,
then remove the servo body and separator plate'
5. Bemove the three bolts securing the secondary
valve body, then remove the secondary valve body'
stop shaft bracket, and separator plate.
6. Remove the eight bolts securing the ATF lubrication
plate and lock-up valve body, then remove the ATF
lubrication plate, lock-up valve body' and separator
plate.
7. Remove the one bolt securing the regulator valve
body, then remove the regulator valve body'
8. Remove the stator shaft and stop shaft.
9. Remove the detent spring from the detent arm, then
remove the control shaft from the torque converter
houslng.
10. Remove the detent arm and detent arm shaft from
the main valve body.
11. Remove the five bolts securing the main valve
body, then remove the main valve body.
When removing the main valve body, do not let the
eight check balls fall out.
12. Remove the ATF pump driven gear shaft, then
remove the ATF PumP gears.
13. Remove the main separator plate with two dowel
prns.
14, Clean the inlet opening of the ATF strainer thor-
oughly with compressed air, then check that it is in
good condition, and the inlet opening is not clogged
or damaged.
15.
INLET OPENING
Test the ATF strainer by pouring clean ATF through
the inlet opening, and replace it if it is clogged or
damaged.

Valve Body
Repair
NOTE: This repair is only necessary if one or more ofthe valves in a valve body do not slide smoothly in theirbores. Use this procedure to free the varves.
'1. Soak a sheet of #600 abrasive paper in ATF forabout 30 minutes.
2. Carelully tap the valve body so the sticking valvedrops out of its bore. lt may be necessary to use asmall screwdriver to pry the valve free. Be carefulnot to scratch the bore with the screwdriver.
4.
Inspect the valve for any scutf marks. Use the ATF-soaked #600 paper to polish off any burrs that areon the valve, then wash the valve in solvent and dryit with compressed air.
Roll up half a sheet of ATF-soaked #600 paper andinsert it in the valve bore of the sticking valve.Twist the paper slightly, so that it unrolls and fitsthe bore tightly, then polish the bore by twisting thepaper as you push it in and out.
NOTE: The valve body is aluminum and doesn,trequire much polishing to remove any ourrs.
,l
14-192
5.Remove the #600 paper. Thoroughly wash theentire valve body in solvent, then dry it with com-pressed ar.
Coat the valve with ATF, then drop it into its bore, ltshould drop to the bottom of the bore under its ownweight. lf not, repeat step 4, then retest. lf the valvestill sticks, replace the valve body.
Remove the valve. and thoroughly clean it and thevalve body with solvent. DrV all parts with com-pressed air, then reassemble using ATF as a lubricant.
