Changing Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)INFOID:0000000003532224
1. Drive the vehicle to warm up the ATF to 80° C (176° F).
2. Stop the engine.
3. Remove the ATF level gauge bolt.
4. Drain the ATF from the drain plug hole and then install the drain
plug with a new gasket. Refill the transmission with new ATF.
Always refill with the same volume as the drained ATF. Use the
ATF level gauge to check the ATF level as shown. Add ATF as
necessary.
• To flush out the old ATF from the coolers, pour new ATF into the charging pipe with the engine idling and
at the same time drain the old ATF from the auxiliary transmission oil cooler hose return line.
• When the color of the ATF coming out of the auxiliary transmission oil cooler hose return line is about
the same as the color of the new ATF, flushing out the old ATF is complete. The amount of new trans-
mission ATF used for flushing should be 30% to 50% increase of the specified capacity.
CAUTION:
• Use only the specified ATF. Do not mix with other fluids.
• Using an ATF other than the specified ATF will cause deterioration in driveability and automatic
transmission durability, and may damage the automatic transmission, which is not covered by
the warranty.
• When filling the transmission with ATF, do not spill the ATF on any heat generating parts such as
the exhaust manifold.
• Do not reuse the drain plug gasket.
5. Install the ATF level gauge in the ATF charging pipe and tighten the ATF level gauge bolt to specification.
6. Drive the vehicle to warm up the ATF to 80° C (176° F).
7. Check the ATF level and condition. Refer to AT-13, "
Checking Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)". If the
ATF is still dirty, repeat steps 2 through 5.

A/T CONTROL SYSTEM
• This line pressure solenoid controls the pressure regulator valve as the signal pressure and adjusts the pres-
sure of the operating oil discharged from the oil pump to the line pressure most appropriate to the driving
state.
LINE PRESSURE CONTROL IS BASED ON THE TCM LINE PRESSURE CHARACTERISTIC PAT-
TERN
• The TCM has stored in memory a number of patterns for the optimum line pressure characteristic for the
driving state.
• In order to obtain the most appropriate line pressure characteristic to meet the current driving state, the TCM
controls the line pressure solenoid current value and thus controls the line pressure.
Normal Control
Each clutch is adjusted to the necessary pressure to match the
engine drive force.
Back-up Control (Engine Brake)
When the select operation is performed during driving and the trans-
mission is shifted down, the line pressure is set according to the
vehicle speed.

The necessary and adequate line pressure for shift change is set.
For this reason, line pressure pattern setting corresponds to input
torque and gearshift selection. Also, line pressure characteristic is
set according to engine speed, during engine brake operation.
At Low Fluid Temperature
When the A/T fluid temperature drops below the prescribed tempera-
ture, in order to speed up the action of each friction element, the line
pressure is set higher than the normal line pressure characteristic.
Shift ControlINFOID:0000000003532234
The clutch pressure control solenoid is controlled by the signals from the switches and sensors. Thus, the
clutch pressure is adjusted to be appropriate to the engine load state and vehicle driving state. It becomes
possible to finely control the clutch hydraulic pressure with high precision and a smoother shift change charac-
teristic is attained.
SHIFT CHANGE
The clutch is controlled with the optimum timing and oil pressure by the engine speed, engine torque informa-
tion, etc.

When shifting from the lock-up released state to the lock-up applied state, the current output to the torque con-
verter clutch solenoid is controlled with the TCM. In this way, when shifting to the lock-up applied state, the
torque converter clutch is temporarily set to the half-clutched state to reduce the shock.
Half-clutched State
• The current output from the TCM to the torque converter clutch solenoid is varied to gradually increase the
torque converter clutch solenoid pressure.
In this way, the lock-up apply pressure gradually rises and while the torque converter clutch piston is put into
half-clutched status, the torque converter clutch piston operating pressure is increased and the coupling is
completed smoothly.
Slip Lock-up Control
• In the slip region, the torque converter clutch solenoid current is controlled with the TCM to put it into the
half-clutched state. This absorbs the engine torque fluctuation and lock-up operates from low speed.
This raises the fuel efficiency for 4th and 5th gears at both low speed and when the accelerator has a low
degree of opening.
Engine Brake ControlINFOID:0000000003532236
• The forward one-way clutch transmits the drive force from the engine to the rear wheels. But the reverse
drive from the rear wheels is not transmitted to the engine because the one-way clutch is idling.
Therefore, the low coast brake solenoid is operated to prevent the forward one-way clutch from idling and
the engine brake is operated in the same manner as conventionally.
• The operation of the low coast brake solenoid switches the low coast brake switching valve and controls the
coupling and releasing of the low coast brake.
The low coast brake reducing valve controls the low coast brake coupling force.
