7C TROUBLESHOOTING
TROUBLESHOOTING
GENERAL NOTE
In the event of a problem with the automatic transaxle, the cause may be in the engine, powertrain,
hydraulic control system, or electrical control system. When troubleshooting, it is recommended to
begin from those points that can be judged quickly and easily. The recommended troubleshooting
sequence is described below.
STEP 1: PRELIMINARY INSPECTION Check preliminary items • ATF level and condition
• Oil leakage • Selector lever position
• Vacuum leakage
• Idle speed and ignition timing
• Tire inflation pressure • Inhibitor switch
This step checks conditions surrounding the automatic
transaxle.
STEP 2: STALL TEST Check engine stall speed This step checks the powertrain.
• Friction element slipping
• Torque converter capacity
STEP 3: TIME LAG TEST Check time lag of oil pressure supply This step checks operation of the hydraulic control system. • Friction elements slipping
• Regulating valves
STEP 4: ROAD TEST Check items on road test
• Shift point • Shift schedule
• Kick-down • Shift shock
This step checks functions of the electrical control system
and hydraulic control system.
STEP 5: OIL PRESSURE TEST Check line pressures and governor pressure This step checks major points of the hydraulic control system.
• Oil pump • Line pressure control • Governer pressure control
By following the above five steps, the cause of the problem should be located.
As another guide to faster location of the causes of problems, the Quick Diagnosis Chart is included
at pages 7C—9 to 7C—11.
In this chart, a circle is used to indicate the components that might be the cause of trouble for 54
types of problems. It is only necessary to check those components indicated by circles, at each step
of the troubleshooting process, in order to quickly locate the cause of the problem.

With the vehicle on a hard level surface, move the
steering wheel to put the wheels in the straight
ahead position.
Start the engine and warm the power steering flu-
id to 50—60°C (122—140°F), pull scale.
Attach a pull scale to the outer circumference of
the steering wheel. Then, starting with the wheels
in the straight-ahead position, check the steering
effort required to turn the steering wheel to the left
and to the right.
If the measured value exceeds specification, check
the following: fluid level, air in system, fluid leak-
age at hose or connections, function of oil pump
and gear box, and tire pressure.
Steering wheel effort:
ESPS Type
25—31N (2.6—3.2 kg, 6—7 lb)
ECPS Type
15—23 N (1.7—2.3 kg, 3—5 lb)
4WS Type
25—35N (2.5—3.5 kg, 6—8 lb)
[during one turn of the steering wheel]
Note (4WS)
1)lf not within specification, separate the
transfer shaft from the front steering gear
and check again.
2) If still not within specification, there is a
malfunction of the front steering gear.
3) If the measured value is now within specifi-
cation, check the transfer shaft and rear
steering gear. (Refer to Page 10—45.)
86U10X-016
POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
Check the power steering fluid level, and add fluid
to the specified level if necessary.
Caution
Use only the specified power steering fluid.

LEAKAGE OF POWER STEERING FLUID
Check the following points for fluid leakage:
1. Gear
2. Oil pump
3. All fluid pipes and connections
4. Solenoid valve (ECPS Type, 4WS Type)
Note
a) Start the engine, and check for fluid leakage after turning the steering wheel completely
to the left and right to apply fluid pressure. Do not, however, keep the steering wheel
in the fully turned position for more than 15 seconds.
b)The points where fluid leakage may occur are indicated by the arrows in the figure.

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)

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.
