IBefore assembly, apply a coat of recommended ATF to all
parts. Apply petroleum jelly to protect O-rings and seals, or
hold bearings and washers in place during assembly. Do not
use grease.
IExtreme care should be taken to avoid damage to O-rings,
seals and gaskets when assembling.
IReplace ATF cooler if excessive foreign material is found in oil
pan or clogging strainer. Refer to ªATF COOLER SERVICEº,
AT-9.
IAfter overhaul, refill the transmission with new ATF.
IWhen the A/T drain plug is removed, only some of the fluid is
drained. Old A/T fluid will remain in torque converter and ATF
cooling system.
Always follow the procedures when changing A/T fluid. Refer
to MA-21, ªChanging A/T Fluidº.
Service Notice or PrecautionsNBAT0004FAIL-SAFENBAT0004S01The TCM has an electronic Fail-Safe (limp home mode). This allows the vehicle to be driven even if a major
electrical input/output device circuit is damaged.
Under Fail-Safe, the vehicle always runs in third gear, even with a shift lever position of ª1º, ª2º or ªDº. The
customer may complain of sluggish or poor acceleration.
When the ignition key is turned ªONº following Fail-Safe operation, O/D OFF indicator lamp blinks for about
8 seconds. (For ªTCM SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (No Tools)º, refer to AT-46.)
Fail-Safe may occur without electrical circuit damage if the vehicle is driven under extreme conditions (such
as excessive wheel spin followed by sudden braking). To recover normal shift pattern, turn the ignition key
ªOFFº for 5 seconds, then ªONº.
The blinking of the O/D OFF indicator lamp for about 8 seconds will appear only once and be cleared. The
customer may resume normal driving conditions.
Always follow the ªWORK FLOWº (Refer to AT-57).
The SELF-DIAGNOSIS results will be as follows:
The first SELF-DIAGNOSIS will indicate damage to the vehicle speed sensor or the revolution sensor.
During the next SELF-DIAGNOSIS, performed after checking the sensor, no damages will be indicated.
TORQUE CONVERTER SERVICENBAT0004S04The torque converter should be replaced under any of the following conditions:
IExternal leaks in the hub weld area.
IConverter hub is scored or damaged.
IConverter pilot is broken, damaged or fits poorly into crankshaft.
ISteel particles are found after flushing the cooler and cooler lines.
IPump is damaged or steel particles are found in the converter.
IVehicle has TCC shudder and/or no TCC apply. Replace only after all hydraulic and electrical diagnoses
have been made. (Converter clutch material may be glazed.)
IConverter is contaminated with engine coolant containing antifreeze.
IInternal failure of stator roller clutch.
IHeavy clutch debris due to overheating (blue converter).
ISteel particles or clutch lining material found in fluid filter or on magnet when no internal parts in unit are
worn or damaged Ð indicates that lining material came from converter.
The torque converter should not be replaced if:
IThe fluid has an odor, is discolored, and there is no evidence of metal or clutch facing particles.
PRECAUTIONS
Precautions (Cont'd)
AT-8

Pilot pressure generated by the operation of shift solenoid valves
A and B is applied to the end face of shift valves A and B.
The drawing above shows the operation of shift valve B. When the
shift solenoid valve is ªONº, pilot pressure applied to the end face
of the shift valve overcomes spring force, moving the valve upward.
LOCK-UP CONTROLNBAT0180S03The torque converter clutch piston in the torque converter is locked
to eliminate torque converter slip to increase power transmission
efficiency. The solenoid valve is controlled by an ON-OFF duty
signal sent from the TCM. The signal is converted to oil pressure
signal which controls the torque converter clutch piston.
Conditions for Lock-up OperationNBAT0180S0301When vehicle is driven in 4th gear position, vehicle speed and
throttle opening are detected. If the detected values fall within the
lock-up zone memorized in the TCM, lock-up is performed.
Overdrive control switch ON OFF
Selector lever ªDº position
Gear position D
4D3
Vehicle speed sensor More than set value
Throttle position sensor Less than set opening
Closed throttle position switch OFF
A/T fluid temperature sensor More than 40ÉC (104ÉF)
SAT010J
Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Valve ControlNBAT0180S0302The torque converter clutch solenoid valve is controlled by the
TCM. The plunger closes the drain circuit during the ªOFFº period,
and opens the circuit during the ªONº period. If the percentage of
OFF-time increases in one cycle, the pilot pressure drain time is
reduced and pilot pressure remains high.
The torque converter clutch piston is designed to slip to adjust the
ratio of ON-OFF, thereby reducing lock-up shock.

Diagnostic Procedure (Cont'd)

DescriptionNBAT0054IThis is an OBD-II self-diagnostic item and not available in TCM
self-diagnosis.
IThis malfunction will not be detected while the O/D OFF indi-
cator lamp is indicating another self-diagnosis malfunction.
IThis malfunction is detected when the A/T does not shift into
fourth gear position or the torque converter clutch does not
lock up as instructed by the TCM. This is not caused by elec-
trical malfunction (circuits open or shorted) but by mechanical
malfunction such as control valve sticking, improper solenoid
valve operation, malfunctioning oil pump or torque converter
clutch, etc.

ON BOARD DIAGNOSIS LOGICNBAT0054S04This diagnosis monitors actual gear position by checking the torque
converter slip ratio calculated by TCM as follows:
Torque converter slip ratio = A x C/B
A: Output shaft revolution signal from revolution sensor
B: Engine speed signal from ECM
C: Gear ratio determined as gear position which TCM supposes
If the actual gear position is much lower than the position (4th)
supposed by TCM, the slip ratio will be much less than normal. In
case the ratio does not reach the specified value, TCM judges this
diagnosis malfunction.
This malfunction will be caused when shift solenoid valve B is stuck
closed.
