•Poor filler tube installation:
Problem could be occurring to parts inside the
transaxle by water contamination. If necessary,
exchange transaxle.

specs are foundDeteriorated ATFDefect powertrain components inside of transaxle:
Specks cause wide range of problems by plugging up
in oil pipe, control valve body and oil cooler in radiator.
•When large amount of metal specks are found.
Exchange transaxle if necessary.
•Implement flushing operation as there is a
possibility to have specks plugging up oil pipe and/
or oil cooler inside of radiator.

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

Radiator (In Tank Oil Cooler) Installation Note
1. The automatic transaxle oil cooler flushing must be performed whenever a transaxle is removed for service
because the existing fluid may be contaminated, and to prevent contamination of new fluid.
Note
• The flushing must be performed after installation of the overhauled or replacing transaxle.
2. Follow the instructions in the manufacturer’s publication for flushing operation.

NO.8 DOES NOT SHIFT TO FIFTH GEAR (5GR)A6E578001030211
Diagnostic procedure
8 Does not shift to fifth gear (5GR)
DESCRIPTION•Vehicle does not upshift from 4GR to 5GR even though vehicle speed increased.
•Vehicle does not shift to 5GR even though accelerator pedal released in D range at 60 km/h {37 mph}.
POSSIBLE
CAUSE•Basically, TCC does not operate when fail-safe is operating. Verify DTC at first. If TCC operates when
driving at high speeds only, malfunction (improper adjustment) is in the D range switch circuit or TR
switch circuit.
Note
•If the TCC or piston is stuck, inspect them. In addition, inspect the oil cooler for foreign particles
which may have mixed in with the ATF.
—TCC piston slipped, burned
•Line pressure low
•Incorrect throttle position signal

correspond to selector lever position?Yes Go to next step.
No Go to symptom troubleshooting No.27 “Gear position
indicator light does not illuminate in M range” or No.28
“Gear position indicator light illuminates in D range or P, N,
R positions”.
2•Drive vehicle in D range and inspect
following:
—1–2 shift up and down
—2–3 shift up and down

End Of SieNO.12 TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC) NON-OPERATIONA6E578001030215
Diagnostic procedure
11 Shift point is high or low
DESCRIPTION•Shift point considerably different from automatic shift diagram.
•Shift delays when accelerating.
•Shift occurs quickly when accelerating and engine speed does not increase.
POSSIBLE
CAUSE•If the transaxle does not shift abnormally, there is a malfunction of input signal to TP sensor, input/
turbine speed sensor, or VSS.
•If engine speed is high or low regardless that shifting is normal, inspect tachometer.
•Verify that output signal of TP sensor changes linearly.
Note
•Before following troubleshooting steps, make sure that Automatic Transaxle On-Board Diagnostic
and Automatic Transaxle Basic Inspection are conducted.
12 Torque converter clutch (TCC) non-operation
DESCRIPTION•TCC does not operate when vehicle reaches TCC operation range.
POSSIBLE
CAUSE•Basically, TCC does not operate when fail-safe is operating. Verify DTC at first. If TCC operates when
driving at high speeds only, the malfunction (improper adjustment) is in D and/or M ranges switch circuit
or TR switch circuit.
Note
•If the TCC or piston is stuck, inspect them. In addition, inspect the oil cooler for foreign particles
which may have mixed in with the ATF.
•TCC piston slipped, burned
—Line pressure low
•Incorrect throttle position signal
•Input/turbine speed sensor malfunction
•TFT sensor malfunction
•Sensor ground malfunction
•VSS malfunction
•Malfunction of output solenoid valve system (Sticking)
•TCC solenoid valve malfunction
•Malfunction of control valve body system (Poor operation, sticking)
•TCC piston hydraulic pressure system malfunction
•Malfunction of TP sensor (Not operating linearly)
•Malfunction of input/turbine speed sensor or VSS
Note
•Before following troubleshooting steps, make sure that Automatic Transaxle On-Board Diagnostic
and Automatic Transaxle Basic Inspection are conducted.
STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1•Turn ignition switch to ON.
•Does gear position lamp indication
correspond to selector lever position?Yes Go to next step.
No Go to symptom troubleshooting No.27 “Gear position
indicator light does not illuminate in M range”, or No.28
“Gear position indicator light illuminates in D range or P, N,

2•Disconnect TCM.
•Is resistance between ground terminals 1C,
1Y at TCM connector and body ground less
than 5.0 ohm?Yes Go to next step.
No Repair open ground circuit.
3•Remove torque converter.
•Inspect torque converter.
(See ATX Workshop Manual.)
•Is torque converter 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 ATX Workshop Manual.)
No•Replace torque converter.
4•Verify test results.
—If okay, return to diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms.

Diagnostic procedure
15 Engine flares up or slips when accelerating vehicle
DESCRIPTION•Engine flares up when accelerator pedal depressed for upshifting.
•Engine flares up suddenly when accelerator pedal depressed for downshifting.
POSSIBLE
CAUSE•Malfunction is basically the same as for No.14 “Engine flares up or slips when upshifting or
downshifting”.
—If conditions for No.14 worsen, malfunction will develop into No.15.
Note
•Before following troubleshooting steps, make sure that Automatic Transaxle On-Board Diagnostic
and Automatic Transaxle Basic Inspection are conducted.
16 Judder upon torque converter clutch (TCC) operation
DESCRIPTION•Vehicle jolts when TCC engaged.
POSSIBLE
CAUSE•Poor TCC engagement due to either slippage because TCC piston is stuck or line pressure is low.
Caution
•If the TCC or piston are stuck, inspect them. In addition, inspect the oil cooler for foreign
particles which may have mixed in with the ATF.
—Torque converter clutch piston slipped, burned
•Line pressure low
•Incorrect throttle position signal
•Malfunction of VSS
•Malfunction of input/turbine speed sensor
•Malfunction of sensor ground
•Malfunction of TCC solenoid valve
•Malfunction of control valve body
—Malfunction of torque converter
Note
•Before following troubleshooting steps, make sure that Automatic Transaxle On-Board Diagnostic
and Automatic Transaxle Basic Inspection are conducted.
17 Excessive shift shock from N to D or N to R position/range
DESCRIPTION•Strong shock felt when shifting from N to D or N to R position/range at idle.
POSSIBLE
CAUSE•Shift shock may worsen when fail-safe is operating. If no DTC is output, shift shock may worsen due to
poor operation of control valve body or sticking of clutch.
—Clutch burned (N→D: Low clutch, N→R: Reverse clutch or low and reverse brake)
•Line pressure low
•Incorrect throttle position signal
•Malfunction of TFT sensor
•Malfunction of sensor ground
•Misadjustment of throttle cable
•Malfunction of control valve body
—Poor hydraulic operation (Malfunction in range change)
—Idle speed high
—Poor tightening torque of engine mount, exhaust mount
—Line pressure high
Note
•Before following troubleshooting steps, make sure that Automatic Transaxle On-Board Diagnostic
and Automatic Transaxle Basic Inspection are conducted.
STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1•Does shift shock occur only when engine
cold?Yes Go to next step.
No Go to Step 3.
2•Inspect TFT sensor and related harness:
vibration, intermittent open/short circuit.
•Is it okay?Yes Go to next step.
No Repair or replace part if necessary.
