INTAKE AND EXHAUST - Service Adiustment Procedures15-7
(1) Disconnect the hose (black) from the waste gate solenoid
valve, and connect the pressure gauge to the hose. Plug the
nipple of the solenoid valve from which the hose (black) has
been disconnected.
(2) Drive the vehicle with full throttle and accelerate the engine
to a speed of more than 3,500 rpm at 2nd gear. Measure
the supercharging pressure when the pointer is stabilized.
Standard value: 20
- 60 kPa (2.9 - 8.7 psi)
Caution
If the supercharging pressure deviates from the stan-dard value, check the following items for possible
causes.When pressure is high:
Waste gate actuator malfunction
When pressure is low:
Waste gate actuator malfunction
Supercharging pressure leaks
Faulty turbocharger

TEM INSPECTION (Turbo)MlSGFAB
(1) After the self-diagnosis code of MPI system is completely
read, turn off the ignition switch.
(2) Disconnect the hose (black) from the waste gate solenoid
valve and connect a three-way joint between the hose and
the solenoid.
(3) Conncet a hand vacuum pump to the three-way joint.
(4) Disconnect the hose (with its end painted red) from the
wastegate actuator control boost nipple and plug the nipple.
(5) Disconnect the battery negative cable from the battery
terminal for 10 seconds or more and connect it again.
(6) Applying a negative pressure with the hand vacuum pump,
check tightness both when the hose end (with its end
painted red) is closed and when it is open.

Inspect for damage, cracking or deterioration. Replace if faulty.
Caution1. Operation of any type, including idling, should be
avoided if engine misfiring occurs. Under this conditionthe exhaust system will operate at abnormally high
temperature, which may cause damage to the catalystor underbody parts of the vehicle.
2.Alteration or deterioration of ignition or fuel system, or
any type of operating condition which results in enginemisfiring must be corrected to avoid overheating the
catalytic converters.
3.Proper maintenance and tune up according to manufac-turer’s specifications should be made to correct the
‘bi

DIAGNOSIS AND TEST
FLUID LEVEL AND CONDITION
1.Drive until the fluid temperature reaches the usual tempera-
ture
[70 - 80°C (160 - 18O”F)].2. Place vehicle on level floor.
3. Move selector lever sequentially to every position to fill
torque converter and hydraulic circuit with fluid, then place
lever in “N” Neutral position. This operation is necessary to
be sure that fluid level check is accurate.
4. Before removing dipstick, wipe all dirt from area around
dipstick. Then take out the dipstick and check the condition
of the fluid.
The transaxle should be overhauled under the following
conditions.
l If there is a “burning” odor.
l If the fluid color has become noticeably blacker.
lIf there is a noticeably great amount of metal particles in
the fluid.
5.Check to see if fluid level is in “HOT” range on dipstick. If
fluid level is low, add automatic transaxle fluid until level
reaches “HOT” range.
Low fluid level can cause a variety of conditions because it
allows pump to take in air along with fluid. Air trapped in
hydraulic circuit forms bubbles which make fluid spongy.
Therefore, pressures will be erratic.
Improper filling can also raise fluid level too high. When
transaxle has too much fluid, gears churn up foam and
cause same conditions which occur with low fluid level,
resulting in accelerated deterioration of automatic transaxle
fluid.
dIn either case, air bubbles can cause overheating, fluid
oxidation, which can interfere with normal valve, clutch, and
servo operation. Foaming can also result in fluid escaping
from transaxle vent where it may be mistaken for a leak.
6. Be sure to examine fluid on dipstick closely.
,CONTROL CABLEWhether control cable is properly adjusted can be confirmed by
checking whether inhibitor switch is performing well.
1. Apply parking brakes and service brakes securely.
2. Place selector lever to “R” range.
3. Set ignition key to “ST” position.
4. Slowly move the selector lever upward until it clicks as it
fits in notch of “P” range. If starter motor operates when
lever makes a click, “P” position is correct.
5.Then slowly move selector lever to “N” range by the same
procedure as in foregoing paragraph. If starter motor
operates when selector lever fits in
“N”, “N” position is
correct.
6. Also check to be sure the vehicle doesn’t begin to move
and the lever doesn’t stop between P-R-N-D.
7. The control cable is properly adjusted if, as described
above, the starter motor starts at both the “P” range and
the “N” range.

OBTAINING FAULT CODES(1) Connect the voltmeter or multi-use tester to the connector
for diagnosis.
(2) Read the output fault codes.
Then follow the remedy procedures according to the
“FAULT CODE DESCRIPTION” on the following page.
NOTEl As many as a maximum of ten fault codes, in the
sequence of occurrence, can be stored in the Random
Access Memory (RAM) incorporated within the control
unit.
l If the number of stored fault codes or fault patterns
exceeds ten, already stored fault codes will be erased,
in sequence beginning with the oldest.
l Do not disconnect the battery until all fault codes or
fault patterns have been read out, because all stored
fault codes or fault patterns will be canceled when the
battery is disconnected.
(3) If the fail-safe system is activated and the transaxle is
locked in 3rd gear, the fault code in the Fail-Safe Code
Description will be stored in the RAM.
Three of these fault codes can be stored.
(4) The cancellation will occur if, with the transaxle locked in
3rd gear, the ignition key is turned to the OFF position, but
the fault code is stored in the RAM.

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE - Troubleshootinn23-43
CONVERTER STALL TESTStall test consist of determining maximum engine
speed obtained at full throttle in “D” and
“I?”positions. This test checks torque converter
statoroverrunning clutch operation, and holding ability of
transaxle clutches and low-reverse brake.
Caution
During this test, make sure that no one stand in
front of or behind vehicle.
1. Check transaxle fluid level. Fluid should be at
normal operating temperature
[70 - 80°C (160 -
18O”F)I. Engine coolant should also be at normal
operating temperature
[80 - 90°C (180 - 19O”F)l.2. Apply chocks to both rear wheels.
3. Attach engine tachometer.
4. Apply parking and service brakes fully.
5. Start engine.
6. With selector lever in “D” position, depress
accelerator pedal fully to read engine maximum
rpm. Do not hold throttle wide open any longer
than is necessary to obtain maximum engine
rpm reading, and never longer than 5 seconds at
a time. If more than one stall test is required,
operate engine at approximately 1,000 rpm in
neutral for 2 minutes to cool transaxle fluid
between tests.
Stall speed: 2,200
- 3,200 rpm
7.Place selector lever to “R” position and perform
stall test by the same procedure as in foregoing
item.
Stall Speed Above Specification in “D”
If stall speed is higher than specification, rear clutch
or overrunning clutch of transaxle is slipping. In this
case, perform hydraulic test to locate cause of
slippage.
Stall Speed Above Specification in “R”
If stall speed is higher than specification, front
clutch of transaxle or low-reverse brake is slipping.
In this case, perform hydraulic test to locate cause
of slippage.
Stall Speed Below Specification in “D” and “R”
If stall speed is lower than specification, insufficient
engine output or faulty torque converter is sus-
pected. Check for engine misfiring, ignition timing,
valve clearance, etc. If these are good, torque
converter is faulty.
