CIRCUIT INSPECTION
DTC42No. 1 Vehicle Speed Sensor Circuit
(Backup Sensor)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The No. 1 vehicle speed sensor outputs a 4±pulse signal for every revolu\
tion of the transmission output shaft.
After this signal is converted in to a more precise rectangular wave form by \
the wave form shaping circuit inside
the combination meter, it is then transmitted to the ECM.

DTC46No. 4 Solenoid Valve Circuit (For Accumula-
tor Back Pressure Modulation)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The No. 4 solenoid valve controls the hydraulic pressure acting on the
brakes and clutches of the planetary gear units when gears are shifted and
performs smooth gear shifting.
The ECM determines optimum operating pressure according to the signals
from the throttle position sensor, vehicle speed sensor and O/D clutch
speed sensor and controls the volume of current flow to the solenoid valve.
The amount of electric current to the solenoid is controlled by the (*) \
duty
ratio of ECM out put signals, causing momentary change to the hydraulic
pressure acting on the clutches during gear shifting.
When the duty ratio is high, the hydraulic pressure acting on the clutch\
es
is low.
(*) Duty Ratio
The duty ration is the ration of the period of continuity in one cycle. For\
example, if A is the period of continuity
in one cycle, and B is the period of non±continuity, then

Check the solenoid's operation
1. Prepare a variable power supply.
2. Connect positive lead of the variable power
supply to terminal 1 of solenoid connector and neg-
ative  lead to terminal 2.
3. Check the movement of the valve when the voltage is gradually increased. (A current greater than 1 A
should not be supplied.)
As the voltage is increased, the valve should move slow-
ly in the direction.
4. Check the movement of the valve when the voltage is cut off.
The valve should return in the direction.

DTC61No.2 Vehicle Speed Sensor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The No.2 speed sensor detects the rotation speed of the transmission output shaft and sends signals to the
ECM. The ECM determines the vehicle speed based on the these signals. An AC voltage i\
s generated in the
No.2 vehicle speed sensor coil as the rotor mounted on the output shaft rota\
tes, and this voltage is sent to the
ECM.
The gear shift point and lock±up timing are controlled by the ECM based \
on the signals from this vehicle speed
sensor and the throttle position sensor signal.
If the No.2 vehicle speed sensor malfunctions, the ECM uses input signals \
from the No.1 vehicle speed sensor
as a back±up signal.

DTC62, 63No. 1, No. 2 Solenoid Valve Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Shifting from 1st to O/D is performed in combination with ON and OFF of the No. \
1 and No. 2 solenoid valves
controlled by ECM. If an open or short circuit occurs in either of the solenoid valves\
, the ECM controls the remain-
ing normal solenoid to allow the vehicle to be operated smoothly (Fail saf\
e function.
Fail Safe Function
If either of the solenoid valve circuits develops a short or an open, th\
e ECM turns the other solenoid ON and
OFF to shift to the gear positions shown in the table below. The ECM also turns the lock±up solenoid valve OFF
at the same time. If both solenoids malfunction, Hydraulic control cannot \
be performed electronically and must
be done manually.
Manual shifting as shown in the following table must be done. (In the case of \
a short circuit, the ECM stops send-
ing current to the short circuited solenoid).
