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

IThe threads in one or more of the converter bolt holes are damaged.
ITransmission failure did not display evidence of damaged or worn internal parts, steel particles or clutch
plate lining material in unit and inside the fluid filter.
IVehicle has been exposed to high mileage (only). The exception may be where the torque converter clutch
dampener plate lining has seen excess wear by vehicles operated in heavy and/or constant traffic, such
as taxi, delivery or police use.
ATF COOLER SERVICENBAT0004S02Replace ATF cooler if excessive foreign material is found in oil pan or clogging strainer.
Replace radiator lower tank (which includes ATF cooler) with a new one and flush cooler line using cleaning
solvent and compressed air. Refer to LC-19, ªREMOVAL AND INSTALLATIONº.
OBD-II SELF-DIAGNOSISNBAT0004S03IA/T self-diagnosis is performed by the TCM in combination with the ECM. The results can be read through
the blinking pattern of the O/D OFF indicator or the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). Refer to the table on
AT-38 for the indicator used to display each self-diagnostic result.
IThe self-diagnostic results indicated by the MIL are automatically stored in both the ECM and TCM
memories.
Always perform the procedure ªHOW TO ERASE DTCº on AT-35 to complete the repair and avoid
unnecessary blinking of the MIL.
IThe following self-diagnostic items can be detected using ECM self-diagnostic results mode* only when
the O/D OFF indicator lamp does not indicate any malfunctions.
þ PNP switch
þ A/T 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th gear function
þ A/T TCC S/V function (lock-up)
*: For details of OBD-II, refer to EC-59, ªIntroductionº.
ICertain systems and components, especially those related to OBD, may use the new style slide-
locking type harness connector. For description and how to disconnect, refer to EL-5, ªDescrip-
tionº.
Wiring Diagrams and Trouble DiagnosisNBAT0005When you read wiring diagrams, refer to the following:
IGI-11, ªHOW TO READ WIRING DIAGRAMSº.
IEL-9, ªPOWER SUPPLY ROUTINGº for power distribution circuit.
When you perform trouble diagnosis, refer to the following:
IGI-35, ªHOW TO FOLLOW TEST GROUP IN TROUBLE DIAGNOSISº.
IGI-24, ªHOW TO PERFORM EFFICIENT DIAGNOSIS FOR AN ELECTRICAL INCIDENTº.

Shift MechanismNBAT0012The automatic transmission uses compact, dual planetary gear systems to improve power-transmission
efficiency, simplify construction and reduce weight.
It also employs an optimum shift control and superwide gear ratios. They improve starting performance and
acceleration during medium and high-speed operation.
Two one-way clutches are also employed: one is used for the forward clutch and the other for the low clutch.
These one-way clutches, combined with four accumulators, reduce shifting shock to a minimum.

*1: Operates when overdrive control switch is being set in ªOFFº position.
*2: Oil pressure is applied to both 2nd ªapplyº side and 3rd ªreleaseº side of band servo piston. However, brake band does not contract
because oil pressure area on the ªreleaseº side is greater than that on the ªapplyº side.
*3: Oil pressure is applied to 4th ªapplyº side in condition *2 above, and brake band contracts.
*4: A/T will not shift to 4th when overdrive control switch is set in ªOFFº position.
*5: Operates when overdrive control switch is ªOFFº.

No control members operate. Power from the input shaft is not transmitted to the output shaft since the
clutch does not operate.

Similar to the ªNº position, no control members operate. The parking pawl interconnected with the select
