4.Disconnect the high-tension cable, and then while operating
the starting motor intermittently, turn the steering wheel all;
the way to the left and right several times to drain all of the
fluid.
Caution, 35
Be careful not to position thq high-tension able ye&r the
carburetor or the delivery pipe.5. Connect the return hoses securely, and then
secur& it ,with
the clip.6. Fill the oil reservoir with the specified fluid up
td the Ibwerposition of the filter, and then bleed the air.

1.Jack up the front wheels and support them by using a floor
stand.2. Manually turn the oil pump pulley a few times.
3. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and right
several times.
4.Disconnect the high-tension cable, and then, while operatingthe starting motor intermittently, turn the steering wheel all
the way to the left and right several times
(for 1-5 to 20
seconds).
Caution
1. During air bleeding, replenish the fluid supply so thatthe level never falls below the lower positiin
@f the
eiter.I .“:
2. If air bleeding is done while engine is runnind, ‘the air
will be
brokeir up and absorbed intti the fluid;‘?ti’ sureto do the bleeding only while cranking.
5.Connect the ignition cable, and then start the engine (idling).6. Turn the steering wheel to the left and right until there are
no air bubbles in the oil reservoir.
7. Confirm that the fluid is not milky, and that the level is
upito the specified position on the level gauge.
8.Confirm that there is very little change in the fluid level whenthe steering wheel is turned left and right.
9.Check whether or not the change in the fluid level is within5 mm
(.2 in.) when the engine is stopped and when it is
running.
Caution
1.If the change of the fluid level is 5 mm I.2 in.) or more,
the air has not been completely bled from the system,
and thus must be bled completely.2. If the fluid level rises suddenly after the engine is
stopped, the air has not been completely bled.
3. If air bleeding is not complete, there will be abnormal
noises from the pump and the flow-control valve, and
this
condition could cause a lessening of the life of the
pump, etc.

CHECKING THE OIL PUMP RELIEF PRESSURE1. Disconnect the pressure hose from the oil pump, and then
connect the special tools.
2.Bleed the air, and then turn the steering wheel several timeswhile the vehicle is not moving so that the temperature of
the fluid rises to approximately
50-60°C (122-14OOF).3. Start the engine and idle it at 1,000
f 100 rpm.
4. Fully close the shut-off valve of the pressure gauge and
measure the oil pump relief pressure to confirm that it is
within the standard value range.
Standard value: 7.5-8.2
MPa (1,067-1,166 psi)
Caution
Pressure gauge shut off valve must not remain closed formore than 10 seconds.
5.If it is not within the standard value, overhaul the oil pump.
6.Remove the special tools, and then tighten the pressure hoseto the specified torque.
7. Bleed the system.
CHECKING THE PRESSURE UNDER NO-LOAD CONDITIONS1. Disconnect the pressure hose from the oil pump, and then
connect the special tool.
2.Bleed the air, and then turn the steering wheel several timeswhile the vehicle is not moving so that the temperature of
the fluid rises to approximately
50-60°C (122-14OOF).3. Start the engine and idle it at 1,000
-t 100 rpm.
4.
Check whether or not the hydraulic pressure is the standard
value when no-load conditions are created by fully openingthe shut-off valve of the pressure gauge.
Standard value:
0.8-I .O MPa (114-142 psi)
Limit: 1.5
MPa (213 psi)
5. If it is not within the standard value, the probable cause is
a malfunction of the oil line or steering gear box, so check
these parts and repair as necessary.
6.Remove the special tools, and then tighten the pressure hoseto the specified torque.
7. Bleed the system.

”N21EeAYFunctional malfunctions of the ELC4A/T can lead to other
problems, such as those described below:
(1) Improper maintenance and/or adjustments
(2) Malfunctions of the electronic control functions
(3) Malfunctions of mechanical functions
(4) Malfunctions of hydraulic control functions
(5) Malfunctions of engine performance
etc.In order to properly determine (“Troubleshoot”) the source of
these malfunctions, it is first essential to methodically ques-
tion the user concerning the details of the problem, such qs
the condition of the problem, the situation at the time the
problem occurred, and any other relevant information, all in as
much detail as possible. The user
shoutd also be asked
whether or not the problem has occurred more than once,
and under what conditions.
Subsequently, certain tests should be conducted in a certain
order, as described at the left.

DIAGNOSIS AND TEST
FLUID LEVEL AND CONDITION1. Drive until the fluid temperature reaches the usual tem-
perature
[70-80°C (160- 18O”F)I.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 tobe 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 conditionof 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 inthe 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 itallows 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.In 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 CABLE
Whether control cable is properly adjusted can be confirmed bychecking 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.

Connect an engine tachometer and place it in a position
where it’s easy to see.
Attach the special oil-pressure gauge
(C-3292 or C-3293)and the adaptor
(MD998332) to each oil-pressure outlet
port.When the reverse pressure is to be tested, the 3,000
kPa(400 psi) type of gauge should be used.
Measure the oil pressure under various conditions , and
check to be sure that the measured results are within the
standard value range shown in the “Standard oil pressure
table” below.
If the oil pressure is not within the specified range, check
and repair as described in the section “Remedial steps if oilpressure is not normal” on the next page.
