If DTC 51 is set also, go to DTC 51: 1ST GEAR RATIO SIGNAL
INCORRECT test. If DTC 51 is not set, check overdrive brake for a
mechanical failure. See OVERDRIVE BRAKE in MITSUBISHI R4AW3 & V4AW3
OVERHAUL article.
SYMPTOM TROUBLE SHOOTING
NOTE: Check system using appropriate scan tool. See WIRING DIAGRAMS
for electrical schematics and COMPONENT TESTING.
COMMUNICATION WITH SCAN TOOL NOT POSSIBLE
If scan tool cannot communicate with TCM, check proper
connection with DLC. Check TCM power circuits, TCM ground circuits and
malfunctioning TCM.
SHIFT POINTS INCORRECT
If shift points are incorrect, check for DTCs. If no DTC is
present, check oil temperature sensor, pattern select switch, 4WD low
range detection switch and TCM for proper operation.
UPSHIFTS OCCUR SPONTANEOUSLY
If upshifting occurs spontaneously, check park/neutral
position switch, overdrive switch and TCM for proper operation.
TCC LOCK-UP MALFUNCTIONING
If TCC lock-up system is not operating properly, check torque
converter, valve body, lock-up switch and oil temperature switch.
COMPONENT TESTING
A/T FLUID TEMPERATURE SWITCH
1) Remove fluid temperature switch, located to rear of
neutral safety switch. Immerse switch in container of ATF up to top
threaded portion of switch. Using a DVOM, check continuity between
switch terminals. Continuity should not exist when fluid temperature
is 257
F (125C) or less.
2) When fluid is heated to 289-304F (143-151C), continuity
should exist. Replace switch if necessary. Apply thread sealant to
fluid temperature switch threads and install in transmission.
BRAKELIGHT SWITCH
1) Disconnect electrical connector from brakelight switch,
located near brake pedal. Using ohmmeter, ensure continuity exists
between terminal No. 2 (White/Red wire) and terminal No. 3 (Green
wire) with brake pedal released. Replace brakelight switch if
continuity does not exist. Continuity should not exist between
terminals No. 2 and No. 3 with brake pedal depressed.
2) If continuity does not exist, ensure brake pedal is
properly adjusted so brakelight switch has proper travel for switch
operation. If proper brakelight switch travel exists, replace
brakelight switch.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR
Page 165 of 1501

Disconnect electrical connector from coolant temperature
sensor. Using ohmmeter, check resistance between terminals of coolant
temperature sensor. Resistance should be as specified in accordance
with the TEMPERATURE-TO-RESISTANCE VALUES table. Replace coolant
temperature if resistance is not within specification.

INPUT SPEED SENSOR
Disconnect solenoid and sensor connector. Using ohmmeter,
measure resistance between terminals No. 9 and No. 10. See Fig. 9.
Resistance should be 560-680 ohms at 68
F (20C). If resistance is not
as specified, replace No. 2 speed sensor.
OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Disconnect solenoid and sensor connector. Using ohmmeter,
check resistance between sensor connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2.
See Fig. 9 . Resistance should be 10 k/ohms when oil temperature is
77
F (25C). With oil temperature at 248F (120C), resistance should
be 615 ohms. If resistance is not as specified, replace oil
temperature sensor.
OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR
Disconnect solenoid and sensor connector. Using ohmmeter,
measure resistance between terminals No. 3 and No. 4. See Fig. 9.
Resistance should be 560-680 ohms at 68
F (20C). If resistance is not
as specified, replace output speed sensor.
OVERDRIVE SWITCH
Using a screwdriver, remove overdrive switch from selector
lever, located below selector lever button. Using a DVOM, check
continuity between overdrive switch terminals No. 3 and 5 with switch
in ON position. Continuity should exist. With switch in OFF position,
check continuity between terminals No. 3 and 4. Continuity should
exist. If continuity is not as specified, replace switch. See Fig. 10.

PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION (PNP) SWITCH
Page 167 of 1501

Using a screwdriver, remove pattern select switch from
console. Switch is located at rear of selector lever, to right of
emergency brake handle. Using a DVOM, check continuity between pattern
select switch terminals No. 1 and 2, with switch in HOLD position.
Continuity should exist. With switch in POWER position, check
continuity between terminals No. 1 and 6. Continuity should exist. If
continuity is not as specified, replace switch. See Fig. 12.

SOLENOIDS
For solenoid testing, refer to the appropriate DTC under
DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. To check solenoid operation, apply battery voltage
to appropriate terminal of TCM connector and ground. Ensure operating
sound can be heard when battery voltage is connected. Replace solenoid
if operating sound cannot be heard.
THROTTLE POSITION (TP) SENSOR
For diagnostic and testing information, see appropriate SELF-
DIAGNOSTICS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.
4WD LOW RANGE DETECTION SWITCH
For location and testing information on 4WD low range
detection switch, see appropriate article in AXLE SHAFTS & TRANSFER
CASES.
TCM PIN VOLTAGE CHARTS
Access TCM. See Fig. 1 or 2. Turn ignition on. Using DVOM,

backprobe TCM connector. See Fig. 13. Check voltage between designated
terminals on TCM connector and ground. See TCM TERMINAL VOLTAGE
SPECIFICATIONS table. Voltage should be as specified.
