TROUBLESHOOTING23100760152
STANDARD FLOW OF DIAGNOSIS TROUBLESHOOTING
Automatic transmission malfunctions may be caused by the following conditions.
(1) Improper maintenance and adjustment
(2) Shift control system malfunction
(3) Mechanical malfunctions
(4) Hydraulic malfunctions
(5) Poor engine performance
Troubleshooting in the event of any such malfunctions should begin by checking fluid level, ATF condition,
manual linkage adjustment, throttle control cable adjustment and other conditions whose deviation from
standards can be readily known. Then, road test shall be performed to determine whether or not the
problem has been corrected or more diagnosis is necessary. If the problem still persists after these tests
and corrections, hydraulic tests should be performed for further troubleshooting.
Road test (guess what causes malfunc-
tion.)
Check how A/T works in each drive
range to find a defective system.
A/T control component inspection
Check the throttle cable, inhibitor switch,
overdrive switch, overdrive solenoid
valve, overdrive control relay, defective
switch, engine coolant temperature
switch and vehicle speed sensor.
Torque converter stall test (Inspection
of engine performance and mechanical
function)
Check the engine performance, torque
converter operation and clutch and
brake sliding performance.
Hydraulic pressure test (Inspection of
hydraulic control mechanism)
Measure the fluid line pressure and
check for malfunctions of the oil pump
or regulator valve and for oil leaks.
Oil leak inspection
Visually check gaskets and oil seals for
leaks.
Adjustment of basic inspection items
ROAD TEST 23100780158
Prior to performing road test, be sure to make basic checks including check and adjustment of fluid
level and condition and adjustment of the throttle cable. For road test, the transfer must be placed in
the 2H (2WD-high) position. In road test, various changes such as slips in transmission and shifting
conditions are checked and the transmission operation at each shift position must have been checked.
