ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC
End Of SiePID/DATA MONITOR INSPECTIONA6E5770189012301. Connect the SSTs (WDS or equivalent) to the DLC-2.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3. Measure the PID value.
Note
•Perform part inspection for the output device after TCM inspection.
•The PID/DATA MONITOR function monitors the calculated value of the input/output signals in the TCM.
Therefore, if a monitored value of an output device is out of specification, it is necessary to inspect the
monitored value of the input device related to the output device control. Since an output device
malfunction is not directly indicated as a malfunction of the monitored value for the output device, it is
necessary to inspect the output device individually using the simulation function, etc.

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.

—If vehicle not repaired or additional diagnostic information not available, replace TCM.
3 Vehicle moves in P position, or parking gear does not disengage when P is disengaged
DESCRIPTION•Vehicle rolls when on a downward slope and tires do not lock in P position.
•Tires locked when P disengaged, vehicle does not move in D range, and R position when accelerator
pedal depressed, and engine remains in stall condition.
POSSIBLE
CAUSE•Malfunction of parking mechanism (May have effect on noise or shock from transaxle)
•Improper adjustment of selector lever
•If vehicle moves in N position, perform symptom troubleshooting No.2 “Vehicle moves in N position”
Note
•Before following troubleshooting steps, make sure that Automatic Transaxle On-Board Diagnostic
and Automatic Transaxle Basic Inspection are conducted.
4 Excessive creep
DESCRIPTION•Vehicle accelerates in D range, and R position without depressing accelerator pedal.
POSSIBLE
CAUSE•Engine idle speed high (transaxle system is not cause of problem)
•Go to symptom troubleshooting No.9 “Fast idle/runs on”
(See Section F.)
Note
•Before following troubleshooting steps, make sure that Automatic Transaxle On-Board Diagnostic
and Automatic Transaxle Basic Inspection are conducted.
5 No creep at all
DESCRIPTION•Vehicle does not move in D range, or R position when idling on flat paved road.
POSSIBLE
CAUSE•Either engine output low or there is clutch circuit slippage.
—Clutch burned
•Line pressure low
•Malfunction of shift solenoid A, B, or C
•Malfunction of body ground
•Malfunction of control valve body
—Transaxle fixed in 4GR (Operation of fail-safe function)
•Short or open circuit in wiring
•Poor connection of connector
•Electronic parts of output and input system malfunctioning
—Engine torque is not start
•Malfunction of torque converter
Note
•Before following troubleshooting steps, make sure that Automatic Transaxle On-Board Diagnostic
and Automatic Transaxle Basic Inspection are conducted.
