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.

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.
