TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
ROAD TEST
Description
lThe road test inspects overall performance of A/T and analyzes possible malfunction causes.
lThe road test is perform in the following three stages.
1. Check before engine is started. Refer toAT-46
.
2. Check at idle. Refer toAT-47
.
3. Cruise test.
lInspect all the items from Part 1 to Part 3. Refer toAT-48,AT-50,AT-51.
lBefore beginning the road test, check the test procedure and inspection items.
lTest all inspection items until the symptom is uncovered. Diagnose NG items when all road tests are com-
plete.
CheckBeforeEngineIsStartedECS00FX1
1.CHECK OD OFF INDICATOR LAMP
1. Park vehicle on level surface.
2. Move selector lever to “P” position.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
4. Turn ignition switch ON. (Do not start engine.)
Does OD OFF indicator lamp light up for about 2 seconds?
YES >> 1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Perform self-diagnosis and record all NG items onAT-38, "
DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET".
Refer toAT-80, "
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULT MODE",AT-89, "TCM SELF-DIAGNOSTIC
PROCEDURE (WITHOUT CONSULT-II)".
3. Go toAT-47, "
Check at Idle".
NO >> Stop the road test and go toAT- 1 7 7 , "
OD OFF Indicator Lamp Does Not Come On".
Stall speedOil pressure does not
rise higher than the oil
pressure for idle.Possible causes include a sensor malfunction or malfunction in the pressure adjustment
function.
For example
lAccelerator pedal position signal malfunction
lTCM malfunction
lLine pressure solenoid malfunction (shorting, sticking in ON state)
lPressure regulator valve or plug sticking
lPilot valve sticking or pilot filter clogged
The pressure rises, but
does not enter the stan-
dard position.Possible causes include malfunctions in the pressure supply system and malfunction in the
pressure adjustment function.
For example
lAccelerator pedal position signal malfunction
lLine pressure solenoid malfunction (sticking, filter clog)
lPressure regulator valve or plug sticking
lPilot valve sticking or pilot filter clogged
Only low for a specific
positionPossible causes include an oil pressure leak in a passage or device related to the position
after the pressure is distributed by the manual valve. Judgement Possible cause
