ENGINE COOLING ±
General Information/
Service Specifications/Lubricant/Sealants14-2
GENERAL INFORMATION14100010125
The cooling system is designed to keep every part
of the engine at appropriate temperature in
whatever condition the engine may be operated.
The cooling method is of the water-cooled, pressure
forced circulation type in which the water pump
pressurizes coolant and circulates it throughout the
engine. If the coolant temperature exceeds the
prescribed temperature, the thermostat opens to
circulate the coolant through the radiator as well
so that the heat absorbed by the coolant may be
radiated into the air.The water pump is of the centrifugal type and is
driven by the drive belt from the crankshaft.
The radiator is the corrugated fin, down flow type.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ± Troubleshooting23-4
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.

TEST 6
Is there abnormal noise(s) or vibration when traveling in 3-speed
or 4-speed?NoTEST 7
NOTE
Abnormal noises and vibrations are often caused by an unbalanced propeller shaft, differential, tyre,
torque converter, engine, etc. Extremely thorough inspection is therefore required.

Carry out TEST 7 again.

Does lock up go on, off?No
Lock up signal valve malfunction

Lock up relay valve malfunction

No
Does the moment when lock up turns ON or OFF conform with
the shift pattern?No
Governor malfunction

Line pressure malfunction
TEST 7
Check that lock up ON, OFF. Does the shifting points conform
with shift pattern?Ye sCarry out the road test in 2 range.
NOTE
(1) Determine the moment when lock up turns ON by decreased engine r/min or by a slight shock back
and forth.
(2) Determine the moment when lock up turns OFF by increased engine r/min.
(3) Check lock up condition by pumping the accelerator slightly. If engine r/min rises in accordance with
throttle valve opening size, determine that the lock up is OFF, if not, determine it ON.
(When lock up is OFF, drive power is transferred through the fluid in the torque converter and therefore,
when the accelerator pedal is depressed, slipping occurs inside the torque converter with a resulting
large increase in engine r/min.)
