TROUBLESHOOTING If the 3 steps on page K-8 are followed, the cause of the problem should be located. Another guide to faster location of the causes of problems, the QUICK DIAGNOSIS CHART, is on page K-1 0. b In this chart, numbers are used to indicate the components that may be the cause of 22 possible prob- lems. It is necessary to check only those components indicated by numbers during each step of the trouble- shooting process to locate the cause of the problem quickly. QUICK DIAGNOSIS CHART The QUICK DIAGNOSIS CHART shows different .problems and the relationship of components that might be the cause. 1. Components indicated in the "Adjustment" row indicate the possibility that the problem may result from an incorrect adjustment. Check the adjustment of each component, and readjust if necessary. 2. Components indicated in the "Self-DiagnosisWrow are diagnosed by the Powertrain control module (Transmission) self-diagnostic function. 3. Input and output signals of the Powertrain control module (Transmission) for components indicated in the "Tester" row can be easily checked with the Engine signal Monitor. 4. Components indicated in the "Mechanical System Test" row can be checked for malfunction by the re- sults of oil pressure test. 5. Components indicated in the "Road Test" row can be checked for malfunction by the results of the road test. 6. The numbers in the chart indicate the order of inspection for detecting malfunctions. 7. Circled numbers indicate that the transmission must be removed from the vehicle. 8. The checking, adjusting, repair, and replacement procedures for components are described in the page(s) shown in the "Reference page" row. Gartner Banana

Preparation 1. Check the engine coolant, engine oil, and ATF levels before testing. 2. Warm the engine thoroughly to raise the ATF temperature to operating level (50--80°C, 122-176°F). 3. Engage the parking brake and use wheel chocks at the front and rear of the wheels.

K MECHANICAL SYSTEM TEST LINE PRESSURE TEST This test measures line pressures for checking the hydraulic components and inspecting for oil leakage. Preparation d 1. Perform the preparation procedure shown in the STALL TEST. (Refer to page K-22.) 2. Connect a tachometer to the engine. Warning Removing the square-head plug when the ATF is hot is dangerous. Hot ATF can come out of the opening and badly burn. Before removing the square-head plug, allow the ATF to cool. 3. Connect the SST to the line pressure inspection hole(s). Procedure 1. Start the engine and check the idle speed in P range. (Refer to section F.) Idle speed: 750--850 rpm * 2. Shift the selector lever to D range and read the line pressure at idle. Caution If the accelerator pedal is pressed for longer than 5 seconds while the brake pedal is pressed, the transmission could be damaged. Therefore, do steps 3 and 4 within 5 seconds of each oth- er. 3. Depress the brake pedal firmly with the left foot and gradually depress the accelerator pedal with the right foot. 4. Read the line pressure as soon as the engine speed becomes constant, then release the accelerator .- pedal. 5. Shift the selector to N and let the engine idle for 1 minute or more to cool the ATF. 6. Read the line pressure at idle and at the engine stall speed for each range in the same manner. Gartner Banana

MECHANICAL SYSTEM TEST K Specified line pressure: 7. Cool the transmission and reconnect the SST to the line pressure inspection hole. 8. Connect a vacuum pump to the vacuum diaphragm and place the pump inside the vehicle. 9. Shift the selector lever to R range. 10. Read the line pressure at idle as described below.

ROAD TEST K ROAD TEST A road test is necessary to inspect for problems in the different gear ranges. If a range or function tar- b geted by the road test is found to have any problem, refer to the ELECTRONIC SYSTEM COMPONENT segment or the TRANSMISSION, OIL COOLER, DRIVE PLATE, and SHIFT MECHANISM segments of this section. Do the road test only when the ATF is 50-80°C (1 22-1 76°F). D-RANGE TEST Shift Point, Shift Pattern, and Shift Shock 1. Shift the selector lever to D range and select the Normal mode. 2. Accelerate the vehicle with half-and wide open throttle opening. 3. Verify that 1-2, 2-3, and 3-4 upshifts, downshifts, and lockup are obtained. The shift points must be as shown in the D range (Normal) shift diagram. Note There is fourth gear is any of the following conditions. A The cruise control is operating, and there is an 8kmIh (5 mph} difference between the preset cruise speed and the vehicle speed. B The SET or RESUME switch is ON. There is no lockup when water temperature is below 50°C (1 22°F) or in the throttle valve closed posi- tion. 4. Check the upshifts for shift shock or slippage in the same manner. 5. While driving in overdrive, shift the selector lever to S range and verify that 4-3 downshift immediately occurs, then decelerate and verify that engine braking effect is felt in only third gear and 2nd gears.
