7B TROUBLESHOOTING (G4A-EL)
STEP 2 (PRELIMINARY INSPECTION)
In this step, the fundamental points related to the automatic transaxle are checked. These points must
be kept in the correct condition at all times in order to assure proper operation of the automatic transaxle.
1. Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)
Check ATF level and condition. (Refer to page 7B—71)
2. Selector Lever
Check selector lever position and adjust if necessary. (Refer to page 7B—72)
76G07B-022
3. Throttle cable
(1) Check the inner and outer cable for damage.
(2) Make sure that the accelerator operates
smoothly.
76G07B-023
4. Idle Speed
Check idle speed. (Refer to Section 4B)
5. Tire Inflation Pressure
Check tire inflation pressure. (Refer to Section 12)
76G07B-024
6. Inhibitor Switch
Check the inhibitor switch for operation. (Refer to
page 7B—65)
76G07B-025
7B-22

TROUBLESHOOTING (G4A-EL) 7B
7. Oil Leakage
Check for oil leakage.
(1) Warm up the ATF.
(2) Apply the parking brake and block the wheels
to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
(3) Shift the selector lever to R range.
(4) Check if oil leaks from the following oil seals
or gaskets.
(5) If oil leaks, replace the oil seal or gasket.
76G07B-026
Check for fluid leaks; the following figure shows the locations where fluid leakage may possibly occur.
1. Oil pan
2. Control valve body cover
3. Oil pump
4. Inhibitor switch
5. Speedometer driven gear
6. Pulse generator
7. Oil filler tube
8. Throttle cable
9. Bearing cover
10. Driveshaft
11. Square head plug
12. Transaxle case
13. Drain plug
14. Oil cooler return pipe
15. Oil cooler outlet pipe
16. Fluid temperature switch
17. Blind plugs
