Noise and vibration 
Drive the vehicle in OD (lock-up), OD (no lock-up), 3rd (Hold) 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. 
Kick-down 
Drive the vehicle in OD, 3rd and 2nd gears and check that kick-down occurs for OD->3, OD->2, OD->1, 
3->2, 3-+1, 2-> 1, and the shift points are as shown in the shift diagram. 
S Range Test 
Shift pattern 
1. Shift the selector lever to S range and select the Economy mode. 
2. Accelerate the vehicle and check that 1-2 and 2-3 up-shifts and down-shifts are obtained, and that 
no overdrive and no lock-up are obtained. 
Note 
a) Inspections of shift shock and shift point are not necessary because these are the same 
as those of the D Range Test. 
b)ln S range, the shift patterns for Economy and Power modes are the same. 
c) Shift points are the same as those of the D range (Power) shift diagram. 
3. While driving in S range (Economy mode) and 3rd gear, select the Hold mode and check that 3rd 
gear is held until the 3-2 down-shift point as shown in the S range (Hold) shift diagram is achieved. 
4. Accelerate the vehicle with S range (Hold mode) and check that 2nd gear is held.

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.

Noise and vibration 
Drive the vehicle in 1st 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. 
P Range Test 
1. Shift into P range on a gentle slope, release the brake and check that the vehicle does not roll. 
2. Shift into P range while driving the vehicle at maximum of 4 km/h (2.5 mph) on a level surface, and 
check that the vehicle stops.

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.

76G07B-038 
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)

TROUBLESHOOTING (G4A-HL) 
GENERAL NOTE 
In the event of a problem with the automatic transaxle, the cause may be in the engine, power train, 
hydraulic control system, or electrical control system. 
When troubleshooting, therefore, it is recommended to begin from those points that can be judged 
quickly and easily. The recommended troubleshooting sequence is described below. 
STEP 4: TIME LAG TEST 
Check time lag of oil pressure supply 
STEP 6: OIL PRESSURE TEST Check line, throttle, and governor pressures 
This step checks conditions surrounding the automatic 
transaxle. 
This step checks the electrical control system. 
• Function of the electrical control system 
• Components 
This step checks the power train. • Friction element slipping • Torque converter capacity 
This step checks operation of the hydraulic control system. • Accumulators • Friction elements slipping • Regulating valves 
This step checks functions of the electric control system and 
hydraulic control system. 
This step checks major points of the hydraulic control system. 
• Oil pump • Line pressure control • Throttle pressure control 
• Governer pressure control 
STEP 5: ROAD TEST Check items on road test 
• Shift point • Shift schedule 
• Kick-down • Shift shock • Lock-up and overdrive inhibition 
By following the above 6 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 7B—42, 43. 
In this chart, a circle is used to indicate the components that might be the cause of trouble for 20 
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.

Quick Diagnosis Chart 
The Quick Diagnosis Chart shows various problems and the relationship of various components that 
might be the cause of the problem. 
The following is an explanation of the symbols used in this chart. 
1. Components indicated in the "Adjustment" column indicate that there is a possibility that the prob-
lem may be the result of an incorrect adjustment. 
Check the adjustment of each component, and readjust if necessary. 
2. The components indicated in the "Electrical System Inspection" column can be checked for mal-
function by the results of the checking procedure. 
3. Components indicated in the "Stall Test" column can be checked for malfunction by the results 
of the stall test. 
4. Components indicated in the "Time Lag Test" column can be checked for malfunction by the results 
of the time lag test. 
5. Components indicated in the "Road Test" column can be checked for malfunction by the results 
of the road test. 
6. Components indicated in the "Oil Pressure Test" column can be checked for malfunction by the 
results of the oil pressure test. 
7. The checking, adjusting, repair or replacement procedures for each component is described in the 
page(s) noted in the "Reference Page" column.

3. 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.
