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.
