Automatic Transaxle Fluid (ATF) Level Inspection
Caution
•The ATF amount varies according to ATF's temperature. Therefore, when checking the ATF level or
replacing the ATF, use a thermometer to measure the temperature then adjust the ATF amount to
the specified level according to the specified temperature.
1. Park the vehicle on level ground.
2. Apply the parking brake and position wheel chocks securely to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
3. Adjust the length of the thermistor probe measure to the measure same as the dipstick and hold the probe with
a paper holder.
4. Insert into the filler tube and measure the
temperature.
5. Warm up the engine until the ATF reaches (60—
70 °C {140—158 °F}).
Caution
•Do not warm the transaxle by performing
stalls. This will damage the torque
converter.
Note
•In some cases it may be necessary to
inspect the ATF in the cool range 15—25 °C
{59—77 °F} before warming up the engine.
6. While depressing the brake pedal, shift the selector lever to each range (P—M), pausing momentarily in each
range.
7. Shift back to P position.
Note
•If the ATF level is too high or too low in hot condition, the following problems may be the cause.
8. While the engine is idling, verify that the ATF level
is in the HOT (65 °C {149 °F}) range. Add the
ATF specified type of, if necessary. (See K2–80

Diagnostic procedure
End Of SieNO.2 VEHICLE MOVES IN N POSITIONA6E578001030205
1 Vehicle does not move in D range, or in R position
DESCRIPTION•Vehicle does not move when accelerator pedal depressed.
POSSIBLE
CAUSE•If vehicle does not move in D range or R position, basically, malfunction is in ATX. (Vehicle will move
even with a malfunction in TCM.) Since a malfunction in sensor circuit or output circuit is cause of
malfunction in ATX, inspect sensors, output circuit, and related harnesses.
—Clutch slipped, worn (D range-Low clutch, Low one-way clutch, Reduction one-way clutch, R
position-Reverse clutch, Low and reverse brake, Reduction brake)
•Line pressure low
•Malfunction of shift solenoid A, B, or C
•Malfunction of sensor ground
•Malfunction of body ground
•Malfunction of control valve body
—Malfunction of selector lever
—Parking mechanism not properly operated
—Malfunction of torque converter
Note
•Before following troubleshooting steps, make sure that Automatic Transaxle On-Board Diagnostic
and Automatic Transaxle Basic Inspection are conducted.
STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1•With vehicle stopped on a flat, paved road
and engine off, does vehicle move when
pushed? (in D ranges or N, R positions and
brake released)Yes Go to next step.
No Inspect for parking mechanism.
(See ATX Workshop Manual.)
2•Start engine.
•Does vehicle move when selector lever in
between N position and D range?Yes Inspect or adjust selector lever.
(See K2–117 SELECTOR LEVER INSPECTION.)
(See K2–118 SELECTOR CABLE ADJUSTMENT.)
No Go to next step.
3•Stop engine.
•Inspect pressure control solenoid circuit.
•Is it okay?Yes•Overhaul control valve body and repair or replace any
defective parts.
(See ATX Workshop Manual.)
—If problem remains, replace or overhaul transaxle and
repair or replace any defective parts.
(See K2–99 AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE AND
TRANSFER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
(See ATX workshop Manual.)
No•Inspect for pressure control solenoid mechanical stuck.
(See K2–88 SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTION.)
—If pressure control solenoid okay, inspect for open or
short circuit between TCM connector terminal 2Y and
pressure control solenoid connector terminal D.
4•Verify test results.
—If okay, return to diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms.
—If malfunction remains, inspect related Service Informations and perform repair or diagnosis.
—If vehicle repaired, troubleshooting completed.
—If vehicle not repaired or additional diagnostic information not available, replace TCM.
2 Vehicle moves in N position
DESCRIPTION•Vehicle creeps in N position.
•Vehicle creeps if brake pedal not depressed in N position.
POSSIBLE
CAUSE•If vehicle moves in N position, basically, malfunction is in ATX. Since a malfunction in sensor circuit or
output circuit is cause of malfunction in ATX, inspect sensors, output circuit, and related harnesses.
—Clutch burned (Low clutch, Low one-way clutch, Low and reverse brake)
•Line pressure low
•Malfunction of control valve body
—Selector lever position disparity (Although the selector indicator shows N position, hydraulic circuit
shows D range or R position)
Note
•Before following troubleshooting steps, make sure that Automatic Transaxle On-Board Diagnostic
and Automatic Transaxle Basic Inspection are conducted.

PROPELLER SHAFT INSPECTION ON VEHICLEA6E611025002204Joint Play Inspection
1. Move the joint shaft by hand, and verify that there is no play.
If there is play, perform the following service operations.
•Yoke : Universal joint replacement (See L–7 PROPELLER SHAFT DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY.)
•Constant velocity joint : Propeller shaft
replacement (See L–7 PROPELLER SHAFT
DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY.)
Propeller Shaft Runout Inspection
Caution
•Do not rotate the propeller shaft by starting the engine.
1. Shift the select lever to N position and release the parking brake.
2. Rotate the rear wheel by hand, and measure the
propeller shaft runout at 9 points as shown in the
figure.
