Noise and vibration
Drive the vehicle in 2nd gear (Hold mode) and check for abnormal noise or vibration.
Note
Abnormal noise and vibration can also be caused by the torque converter, drive shaft or
differential. Therefore, checking of cause must be made with extreme care.
L Range Test
Shift pattern
1. Shift the selector lever to L range and select the mode.
2. Accelerate the vehicle and check that the 1-2 up- and down-shiftings are obtained and that no 3rd
gear, no OD, and no lock-up are obtained.
Note
Inspection of shift shock and shift point are not necessary because these are the same
as those of the D Range Test.
3. Drive in 1st gear then decelerate and check that engine braking effect is felt.
Note
a) In L range, the shift patterns for Economy and Power modes are the same.
b) Shift points are the same as those of the D range (Power) shift diagram.
4. While driving in S range (Hold mode) and 2nd gear, shift the selector lever to L range and check
that 2nd gear is held until the 2-1 down-shift point as shown in the L range (Hold) shift diagram
is achieved.
5. Accelerate the vehicle in L range (Hold mode) and check that 1st gear is held.

Slippage Test
This step is performed to inspect slippage of the friction elements.
Preparation 1. Perform the preparation procedure shown in STEP 4 (STALL TEST). 2. Connect a tachometer to the engine and set it in the cabin.
3. Connect the EC-AT Tester and the adaptor harness between the EC-AT control unit and wiring
harness.
Procedure
Drive the vehicle in each of the gears indicated below and check whether the vehicle speed or engine
speed is above or below specification excessively as shown by the drum speed.

Evaluation
When there is no malfunction in the electrical system or hydraulic system, but vehicle speed or engine
speed is below specification, the problem can be attributed to slippage of the friction elements.
Driving conditions below specification Possible Cause
No.1 condition only Low and reverse brake
No.2 condition only One-way clutch
No.3 condition only 2-4 brake band
No.4 condition only Coasting clutch
No.5 condition only 3-4 clutch
No.1-No,5 conditions Forward clutch
No.6 condition only Lock-up piston (in torque converter)

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) 1 1
TROUBLESHOOTING
Precaution
Conditions that are not malfunctions
1. It may happen that vibration is felt in the steering wheel, body, and/or brake pedal when the ABS
is functioning; such vibration is simply an indication that the system is functioning.
2. Sound of the pump motor operating, accumulator pressure being released, or the relay operating
may be heard from the engine compartment when the engine is started as the system is being auto-
matically checked.
3. The ABS pump motor may be automatically activated even though the ABS is not operating.
4. The ABS warning light may illuminate under any of the following conditions:
• When the vehicle is traveling on snow or ice with the parking brake activated or a brake dragging
at one wheel.
• When different-sized tires are used.
• When tires of different gripping performance are used.
• When (while the vehicle is jacked up or stuck) only the front wheels are spun for 20 seconds or more.
• When there is insufficient battery voltage.
Note
Under the above conditions, the warning light will not illuminate a second time when the
ignition is switched OFF then back ON, and there will be no memory entry to the control
unit of a problem.
Troubleshooting notes
The ABS is composed of electrical components, mechanical components (hydraulic unit), and the com-
ponents of the standard brake system.
Fundamentally, malfunction of the ABS electrical or mechanical components is judged by the self-
diagnosis function within the ABS control unit. And malfunctions are indicated by the warning light
in the instrument panel.
The location
of
a malfunction is indicated by the technician switching the system to the diagnosis-indication
mode.
The self-diagnosis and indication functions must be used when malfunctions of the ABS are being
diagnosed.

1 1 ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
DIAGNOSIS INDICATION MODE
To obtain the diagnosis indication mode, proceed as
follows:
1. Remove the driver's seat.
2. Connect terminal wires (GB) and (B) of the check
connector (at control unit) with a jumper wire.
3. Start the engine.
Note
The system is now in the diagnosis indication
mode.
86U11X-162
4. Observe the warning light for illumination or count
flashing.
5. Connect an analog voltmeter to terminal wire (GR),
and count the times voltage is output.
Note
a) The voltmeter will fluctuate between OV and
approx. 12V.
b) Determine the failure and flow chart num-
ber with the Diagnosis Table. (Refer to page
11—75.)
76G11X-059
86U11X-164
86U11X-165
MEMORY CANCEL
Note
Failures are contained in the control unit mem-
ory. They are not erased when the battery is
disconnected. Follow the procedure below to
erase them.
1. Connect the terminal wires (GR) and (GB) of the
check connector with a jumper wire.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
3. Check that the warning light is illuminated, and wait
1—2 seconds.
4. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
5. Disconnect the jumper wire from terminal wire (GR).
6. Start the engine and wait for the warning light to
go OFF.
Note
a) One failure memory is erased each time the
above steps are taken.
b) If the warning light illuminates or blinks af-
ter step 6, read and note diagnosis indica-
tion. The memory has the capacity for
storing 32 failures.
7. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
8. Remove the jumper wire.

WHEELS AND TIRES 1 2
WHEEL BALANCE
If a wheel becomes unbalanced or if a tire is replaced
or repaired, the wheel must once again be balanced
to within specification.
Maximum unbalance (at rim edge): g (oz)

13 inch-wheel 11 (0.39)
14 inch-wheel 10 (0.35)
15 inch-wheel 9 (0.32)

weight
86U12X-011
Caution
a) Do not use more than two balance weights
on the inner or outer side of the wheel, if
the total weight exceeds 100 g (3.5 oz), re-
balance after moving the tire around on the
rim.
b) Attach the balance weights tightly so that
they do not protrude more than 3 mm (0.12
in) beyond the wheel edge.
c) Select suitable balance weights for steel or
aluminum alloy wheels.
d)Do not use an on-car balancer on ATX
models. Use of this type of balancer may
cause clutch damage.
WHEEL MOUNTING
Tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque in a criss-
cross fashion.
Tightening torque:
88—118 N-m (9—12 m-kg, 65—87 ft-lb)
Caution
a) The wheel-to-hub contact surfaces must be
clean.
b) Never apply oil to the nuts, bolts, or wheels;
doing so might cause looseness or seizure
of the lug nuts.
86U12X-012
SPECIAL NOTE
Regarding wheels and tires:
1. Do not use wheels or tires other than the specified types.
2. Aluminum wheels are easily scratched. When washing them, use a soft cloth, never a wire brush.
If the vehicle is steam cleaned, do not allow boiling water to contact the wheels.
3. If alkaline compounds (such as salt water or road salts), get on aluminum wheels, wash them as
soon as possible to prevent damage. Use only a neutral detergent.
