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

The torque converter, propeller shaft, and differential can be sources of abnormal noise and vibration if they are not functioning properly. Check these when searching for sources of noise and vibration. Stuck accumulators Stuck or no one-way check orifice Stuck 3-2 control solenoid valve Stuck 3-2 control valve Worn clutches, brakes, or one-way clutch Kickdown Drive the vehicle in fourth gear, third gear, and 2nd gear and check that kickdown occurs for 4-+3,4-+2, 4+1,3+2,3+1, 2+1, and that the shift points are as shown in the shift diagram. ,U (Refer to pages K-29, 30.) S-RANGE TEST Shift Pattern For this test it is not necessary to inspect shift shock and shift points, since they are almost exactly the same as those for the D-range test. However, in the D-range (Normal) shift diagram, the shift points are different. In S range, the shift patterns for Normal mode are the same. 1. Shift the selector lever to S range and select the Normal mode. 2. Accelerate the vehicle and verify that 1-2 and 2-3 up-and downshifts are obtained, and that no fourth gear and no lockup (below approx. 100 kmlh (63 mph}) are obtained. 3. While driving in S range (Normal mode) and third gear, select the Hold mode and verify that third gear is held until ihe 3-2 downshift point as shown in the S range (Hold) shift diagram is achieved. 4. Accelerate the vehicle in S range (Hold mode) and verify that 2nd gear is held.

The torque converter, propeller shift, and differential can be sources of abnormal noise and vibration if they are not functioning properly. Check these when searching for sources of noise and vibration. P-RANGE TEST 1. Shift into P range on a gentle slope, release the brake, and verify that the vehicle does not roll. 2. Shift into P range while driving the vehicle at 4 kmlh (2.5 mph) maximum on a level surface, and verify that the vehicle stops. Gartner Banana

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (ATF) K AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (ATF) ATF Inspection Level 1. Park the vehicle on level ground. 2. Apply the parking brake and position wheel chocks se- curely to prevent the vehicle from rolling. 3. Warm up the engine until the ATF reaches 60-70°C (1 40-1 58°F). 4. While depressing the brake pedal, shift the selector lever to each range (P-L), pausing momentarily in each range. 5. Shift back to P. Note In some cases it may be necessary to inspect the ATF in the cool range 15-25°C (59-77"F) before warm- ing up the engine. 6. Ensure that the ATF level is in the HOT (65°C) range. Add ATF to the specification, if necessary. ATF type: DexronQII or M-I11 Condition Determine whether the transmission should be disas- sembled by noting. 1. If the ATF is muddy or varnished. 2. If the ATF smells strange or unusual. Gartner Banana

TRANSMISSION TRANSMISSION UNIT (DISASSEMBLY) Preparation SST 49 H075 4958 Body (Part of 49 U019 OAOA) For disassembly of transmission For disassembly of transmission For disassembly of transmission 49 U019 OAOA Hanger set, transmission 49 U019 003 Holder (Part of 49 U019 OAOA) For disassembly of transmission For disassembly of transmission Precaution General notes: 1. The oil pan could contain small chips, shavings, and other particles helpful in checking the condition of the transmission and diagnosing certain problems. To ensure that all foreign particles stay in the oil pan, make sure that the transmission is never tipped completely over while the oil pan is still installed. L/ 2. Disassemble transmission in a clean area (dust proof work space) to prevent entry of dust into the mech- anisms. 3. Inspect the individual transmission components in accordance with the QUICK DIAGNOSIS CHART during disassembly. 4. Use only plastic hammers when applying force to separate the light alloy case joints. 5. Never use rags during disassembly; they may leave particles that can clog fluid passages. 6. Several parts resemble one another; organize them so they do not get mixed up. 7. Disassemble the control valve assembly and thoroughly clean it when a clutch or brake band is burned; or when the ATF has degenerated. Cleaning notes: 1. Clean the transmission exterior thoroughly with steam or cleaning solvents, or both, before disassembly. Warning Using compressed air can cause dirt and other particles to fly out, causing injury to the eyes. Wear protective eye wear whenever using compressed air. 2. Clean the removed parts with cleaning solvent, and dry with compressed air. Clean out all holes and passages with compressed air, and check that there are no obstructions. Gartner Banana
