Basic Inspection
Arr FLUlD
Check A/T fluid for leakage and fluid level.
Check A/T fluid status.
SHIFT CONTROL
Check and adjust A/T position.
Line Pressure Test
1. Check engine oil level. If necessary, add oil.
2. Drive vehicle for approximately 10 minutes until A/T fluid
reaches normal operating temperature between
50 and 80°C,
and check A/T fluid level. If necessary, add fluid.
When
ambient temperature is 20°C, A/T fluid operating tem-
perature
usually becomes between 50 and 80°C for approxi-
mately
10 minutes' drive in urban traffic.
3. After warming up IW', remove fluid pressure detection plug,
and install pressure gauge (Special Service Tool:
ST2505
S001) to corresponding line pressure port.
CAUTION:
0 To remove or install the fluid pressure detection plug, use
standard socket wrench (width across flat:
12 mm).
Detection plug should not be reused because thread-lock
compound is applied
to the plug.
4. Set parking brake and block wheels.
5. Start engine and measure line pressure at idle and stall speed.
CAUTION:
When measuring line pressure, depress brake pedal fully.
When measuring line pressure at stall speed, refer to
"Stall Test" (AT-17).

Stall Test
1. Check engine oil level. If necessary, add oil.
2. Drive vehicle for approximately 10 minutes until A/T fluid
reaches normal operating temperature between
50 and 80°C,
and check A/T fluid level. If necessary, add AfT fluid.
When ambient temperature is
20°C,
A/T fluid operating tem-

3. Set parking brake and block wheels.
4. Statt engine, depress brake pedal, and move selector lever to
"D" position.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSES
DESCRIPTION
CONSULT indicates operation timing of each solenoid such as electrical shift timing and lock-up timing.
Therefore, when there is a definite difference between shift timing detected from shift shock (or engine
speed variation) and the one indicated by CONSULT, mechanical parts other than solenoids and sensors
(including hydraulic circuit) may be malfunctioning. In this case, check the mechanical parts using appli-
cable diagnostic procedures.
Shift schedule (which implies gear position) displayed on CONSULT and that indicated in Service Manual
may differ slightly. This occurs because of the following reasons:
Actual shift schedule has more or less tolerance or allowance.
Shift schedule indicated in Service Manual refers to the point where shifts start, and gear position dis-
played on CONSULT indicates the point where shifts are completed.
Shift solenoid valve A or B (ON/OFF) is displayed on CONSULT at the start of shifting. Gear position
is displayed upon completion of shifting (which is computed by TCM).
To make sure the part No. of ECM-TCM on CONSULT, touch "ENGINE" to verify "C/U PART NUMBER".
SELF-DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
Refer to "CONSULT Instruction Manual - Supplement" in details.
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Connect CONSULT connector to data link connector.
3. Start engine.
4. Touch "START', "NT and "SELF-DIAG RESULTS" sequen-
tially on CONSULT screen.
5. Self-diagnosis results are displayed on the screen.

HOW TO ERASE SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
To facilitate cause investigation of malfunction that is less likely to
reappear, the TCM always stores self-diagnostic results during cus-
tomer operation. This memory cannot be erased even if ignition
switch
is turned ON and OFF repeatedly. To erase the seif-diag-
nostic
results, turn ignition switch
OFF after self-diagnosis has
been performed, or use
"ERASE" function of CONSULT.
