MONITOR DESCRIPTION
Torque converter lock-up is controlled by the ECM based on turbine (input) speed sensor NT, output speed
sensor SP2, engine rpm, engine load, engine temperature, vehicle speed, transmission temperature, and gear
selection. The ECM determines the lock-up status of the torque converter by comparing the engine rpm (NE) to
the input turbine rpm (NT). The ECM calculates the actual transmission gear by comparing input turbine rpm
(NT) to output shaft rpm (SP2). When conditions are appropriate, the ECM requests "lock-up" by applying
control volta
ge to shift solenoid SLU. When the SLU is turned on, solenoid SLU applies pressure to the lock-up

relay valve and locks the torque converter clutch.
If the ECM detects no lock-up after lock-up has been requested or if it detects lock-up when it is not requested,
the ECM interprets this as a fault in the shift solenoid valve SLU or lock-up system performance.
The ECM will turn on the MIL and store the DTC.
Example:
When any of the following is met, the system judges it as a malfunction.
a. There is a difference in rotation between before and after torque converters even when the ECM
commands lock-up.
(Engine speed is at least 75 rpm greater than input turbine speed.)
b. There is no difference in rotation between before and after torque converters even when the ECM
commands lock-up off.
(The difference between engine speed and input turbine speed is less than 35 rpm.)

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Performing the ACTIVE TEST using the hand-held tester allows the relay, VSV, actuator and so on to operate
without parts removal. Performing the ACTIVE TEST as the first step of troubleshooting is one method to
shorten labor time.
It is possible to display the DATA LIST during the ACTIVE TEST.
Throttle valve opening angle9% or more
Vehicle speedLess than 60 km/h (37.3 mph)
Engine speed - Turbine speed (NE - NT)70 rpm or more
Engine speed - Turbine speed (NE - NT)Not 3.08 to 7.50
Engine speed - Turbine speed| (|NE - NT|)Less than 35 rpm
Speed sensor (NT)Input speed is equal to engine speed when lock-up
ON.

a. Warm up the engine.
b. Turn the ignition switch off.
c. Connect the hand-held tester together with the CAN VIM (controller area network vehicle interface
module) to the DLC3.
d. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
e. Push the "ON" button of the hand-held tester.
f. Clear the DTC.
g. Select the item "DIAGNOSIS/ENHANCED OBD II/ACTIVE TEST/LOCK UP".
h. According to the display on tester, perform the "ACTIVE TEST".

HINT:
This test can be conducted when the vehicle speed is 58 km/h (36 mph) or more.
This test can be conducted with the 5th or 6th gear.
i. Lightly depress the accelerator pedal and check that the engine speed does not change abruptly.
HINT:
When changing the accelerator pedal opening angle while driving, if the engine speed does not change,
lock-up is on.
Slowly release, but not fully, the accelerator pedal in order to decelerate. (Fully releasing the pedal will
close the throttle valve and loc
k-up may be turned off automatically.)

TABLE
PATTERN SELECT SWITCH CIRCUIT (SNOW)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Passenger side J/B ECU receives pattern select switch information, and sends it through the multiplex
communication system and CAN system to the ECM.
ECT SNOW is the system that operates the throttle motor to control engine output to reduce skidding of the
driving wheels, guarantee takeoff acceleration, driving straightness and turning stability.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1.DRIVING TEST
a. Start the engine.
b. Turn the ECT SNOW switch "OFF" (Normal drive mode).
c. Confirm vehicle response by driving from a parked position to fully depressing the accelerator
pedal.
d. Turn the ECT SNOW switch "ON" and perform the same check as (c).
Confirm that there is a difference between ECT SNOW switch "ON" and "OFF".
Driving test should be done on a paved road (a nonskid road).
Make sure not to use the TRAC system when testing a vehicle equipped with one.
OK:
There is a difference in acceleration between "ON" and "OFF".
NG: Go to step 2
OK: PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS

c. Warm up the heated oxygen sensor with the engine speed at 2,500 rpm for approximately 2
minutes.
d. Check that the voltage changes between 0 and 1 V with the engine speed at 2,500 rpm.
OK: The voltage has changed more than 8 times in 10 seconds.

2.INSPECT FUEL CUT OFF RPM
a. Increase the engine speed to at least 3,000 rpm.
b. Use a sound scope to check the injector operation noise.
OK: When the throttle lever is released, the injector operation noise stops momentarily but
starts again soon after.

3.INSPECT EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
a. Start the engine. Disconnect the vacuum hose as shown in the illustration.
b. From the hand-held tester ACTIVE TEST mode, select PURGE VSV. Check that a vacuum occurs
at the VSV port.
c. Exit ACTIVE TEST mode and reconnect the vacuum hose.
d. From the hand-held tester ECU DATA MONITOR mode, select PURGE VSV. Check operation of
the purge VSV.
e. Warm up the engine and drive the vehicle. Confirm that the purge VSV is turned from OFF to ON.

4.VISUALLY INSPECT HOSES, CONNECTIONS AND GASKETS
a. Check for cracks, leaks or damage.
HINT:
Possible leakage points are indicated in the illustration.
Removal or problems with the engine oil dipstick, filler cap, PCV hose and other components may
cause the engine to run improperly. Disconnection, looseness or cracks in the parts of the air
induction system between the throttle body and cylinder head will allow air suction and cause the
engine trouble.
