ROAD TEST
When the transmission changes speed D3 → D4, return the accelerator pedal.
Does the A/T shift-up D3
→ D4 and apply the engine brake?
YES >> 1. Stop the vehicle. 2. See TM-194, "Cruise Test - Part 3"
.
NO >> Enter a check mark at “Vehicle Does Not Shift: D3 → D4” on the diagnostics worksheet, then con-
tinue the road test.
Cruise Test - Part 3INFOID:0000000003772031
1.CHECK SHIFT-DOWN
During D
5 driving, move gear selector from D → 4 → 3 → 2 → 1.
With CONSULT-III
Read the gear position.
Is downshifting correctly performed?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Enter a check mark at “Vehicle does not shift” at the corresponding position (5th → 4th, 4th → 3rd,
3rd → 2nd, 2nd → 1st) on the diagnostics worksheet, then continue the road test.
2.CHECK ENGINE BRAKE
Does engine braking effectively reduce speed in 1
1 position?
YES >> 1. Stop the vehicle. 2. Carry out the self-diagnostics. Refer to TM-32, "CONSULT-III Function (TRANSMISSION)"
.
NO >> Enter a check mark at “Vehicle Does Not Decelerate By Engine Brake” on the diagnostics work- sheet, then continue trouble diagnosis.

A/T POSITION
Adjustment of A/T PositionINFOID:0000000004187477
1. Loosen nut of control cable.
2. Place the manual lever and selector lever in “P” position.
3. Push the control cable in the direction shown with a force of 9.8 N (1kg, 2.2 lb), and release it. This is in the natural state, tighten
control cable nut to specifications.
Checking of A/T PositionINFOID:0000000004187478
With the selector lever in the “P” position, turn t he ignition switch to the ON position with the engine OFF.
Confirm that the following conditions apply.
 The selector lever can be shifted from the “P ” position only when the brake pedal is depressed.
 The selector lever stops at each position with the f eel of engagement when it is moved through all the posi-
tions.
 There is no excessive effort, sticking, noise or rattle.
 The actual position of the selector lever matches the position shown by the shift position indicator and the A/
T body.
 The back-up lamps illuminate only when the selector lever is placed in the “R” position.
 The back-up lamps do not illuminate when the selector lever is pushed against the “R” position when in the
“P” or “N” position.
 The engine can only be started with the sele ctor lever in the “P” and “N” positions.
 The A/T is locked completely when in the “P” position. Control cable nut : 14.5 N·m (1.5 kg-m, 11 ft-lb)

TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY
 When installing transmission to the engine, attach the bolts in theorder as shown.
CAUTION:
 When replacing an engine or transmission you must make
sure the dowels are installe d correctly during re-assembly.
 Improper alignment caused by missing dowels may cause
vibration, oil leaks or breakage of drivetrain components.
NOTE:
*: No.2 bolt also secures air breather vent.
 Align the positions of bolts for drive plate with those of the torque converter, and temporarily tight en the bolts. Then tighten the bolts
with the specified torque. Refer to TM-214, "Removal and Installa-
tion (2WD)".
CAUTION:
 When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from
the front of the engine.
 After converter is installed to drive plate, rotate crankshaft several turns and check to be su re that transmission rotates
freely without binding.
 Install crankshaft position sensor (POS).
 After completing installation check fluid leakage, fluid level and the positions of A/T. Refer to TM-179, "Checking the A/T Fluid (ATF)"
, TM-195, "Checking of A/T Position" and
TM-195, "Adjustment of A/T Position"

AUTO ACTIVE TEST
Description
In auto active test mode, the IPDM E/R sends a drive signal to the following systems to check their operation.
• Oil pressure low/coolant pressure high warning indicator
• Oil pressure gauge
• Rear window defogger
• Front wipers
• Tail, license and parking lamps
• Front fog lamps
• Headlamps (Hi, Lo)
• A/C compressor (magnetic clutch)
• Cooling fan
Operation Procedure
1. Close the hood and front door RH, and lift the wiper arms from the windshield (to prevent windshield dam-
age due to wiper operation).
NOTE:
When auto active test is performed with hood opened, sprinkle water on windshield before hand.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON and, within 20 seconds, press the front door switch LH 10 times. Then turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON within 10 seconds. Af ter that the horn sounds once and the auto active test
starts.
5. After a series of the following operations is repeated 3 times, auto active test is completed.
NOTE:
When auto active test mode has to be cancelled halfway through test, turn ignition switch OFF.
CAUTION:
• If auto active test mode cannot be actua ted, check door switch system. Refer to DLK-71,
"ComponentFunctionCheck".
• Do not start the engine.
Inspection in Auto Active Test Mode
When auto active test mode is actuated, the following 7 steps are repeated 3 times.
