Diagnostic Aids

Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connection at
the TCM. Look for possible bent, backed out,
deformed or damaged terminals. Check for weak
terminal tension as well. Also check for a chafed wire
that could short to bare metal or other wiring. Inspect
for a broken wire inside the insulation.

When diagnosing for a possible intermittent short o
r
open condition, move the wiring harness while
observing test equipment for a change.
 Check oil temperature sensor for proper mounting
and adjustment.

DTC stored.
Conditions For Clearing The DTC

The DTC can be cleared from the TCM history by
using a scan tool.
 The DTC will be cleared from history when the
vehicle has achieved 40 warm-up cycles without a
failure reported.

After more than 1 second has elapsed after the
ignition key has been turned “ON", short between
No.11 and No.4 (ground) of DLC (Data Link
Connector). Then, after 1 second, but within 6
seconds, discontinue shorting.

Manual Shifting Test
NOTE: With this test, it can be determined whether the
trouble lies within the electrical circuit or is a mechanical
problem in the transmission.
1. Disconnect TCM connector
Inspect manual driving operation
2. Inspect manual driving operation
Check that the shift and gear positions correspond
with the table.
If the “L", “2", “3" and “D" range gear positions are
difficult to distinguish, do perform the following road
test.
While driving, shift through the “L", “2", “3" and “D"
ranges. Check that the gear change corresponds to
the gear position.
If any abnormality is found in the above test, do
perform the stall, time lag or gear change tests.



RUW37ASH004101
3. Connect TCM connector
With the engine off, connect the TCM connector.


Stall Test



RUW37ALH000101
The object of this test is to check the overall
performance of the transmission and engine b
y
measuring the maximum engine speeds at the “D" and
“ R" ranges.
NOTE:
1. Perform the test at normal operation fluid
temperature (50 – 80 
C or 122 – 176 
F).
2. Do not continuously run this test longer than 5 seconds.

7A3-14 ON-VEHICLE SERVICE (AW30 –40LE)

Measure Time Lag
1. Fully apply the parking brake.
2. Start the engine. Check idling speed (A/C OFF).
3. Shift the shift lever from “N" to “D" range. Using a
stopwatch, measure the time it takes from shifting
the lever until the shock is felt.
Time lag: Less than 0.7 seconds
4. In same manner, measure the time lag for “N"


“R".
Time lag: Less than 1.2 seconds
Evaluation
1. If “N" 
“ D" time lag is longer than specified:

Line pressure too low
 Forward clutch malfunction
 No.2 one-way clutch not operating properly
2. If “N" 
“ R" time lag is longer than specified:

Line pressure too low
 Direct clutch malfunction
 No.3 brake malfunction
3. If both time lag is longer than specified:

Line pressure too low

Hydraulic Test



RUW37ALH000201
Preparation

1. Warm up the transmission fluid.
2. Remove the transmission case test plug and mount the hydraulic pressure gauge.
Oil pressure gauge: J –29770 –A
NOTE: Perform the test at normal operation fluid
temperature (50 – 80 
C or 122 – 176 
F).

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE (AW30 –40LE) 7A3-21

Transmission Fluid Level and Condition
Inspection
Park vehicle on level ground and set parking brake.
With the engine idling, move the shift lever through all
positions from “P" to “L", then return to position “P".
Check to see if the level of fluid comes to “HOT" range
of about 80 
 

C (176 
 

F) on the dipstick gauge.
If the level of fluid is too low, replenish to bring it to
maximum level in “HOT" range.
Inspection of fluid condition. If the ATF is black o
r
smells burnt, replace it.
