Diagnosis by CONSULT-II
NOTICE
1.The CONSULT-II electrically displays shift timing and lock-up timing (that is, operation timing of each
solenoid).
Check for time difference between actual shift timing and the CONSULT-II display. If the difference is
noticeable, mechanical parts (except solenoids, sensors, etc.) may be malfunctioning. Check mechanical
parts using applicable diagnostic procedures.
2. Shift schedule (which implies gear position) displayed on CONSULT-II 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. Gear position dis-
played on CONSULT-II indicates the point where shifts are completed.
3. Shift solenoid valve ªAº or ªBº is displayed on CONSULT-II at the start of shifting. Gear position is dis-
played upon completion of shifting (which is computed by TCM).
4. Additional CONSULT-II information can be found in the Operation Manual supplied with the CONSULT-II
unit.

ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
AT-1034

Introduction
The TCM receives a signal from the vehicle-speed sensor, accel-
erator position sensor or PNP switch and provides shift control
or lock-up control via solenoid valves.
Input and output signals must always be correct and stable in the
operation of the A/T system. The A/T system must be in good
operating condition and be free of valve seizure, solenoid valve
malfunction, etc.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a problem that occurs inter-
mittently rather than continuously. Most intermittent problems are
caused by poor electric connections or improper wiring. In this
case, careful checking of suspected circuits may help prevent the
replacement of good parts.
A visual check only may not find the cause of the problems. A
road test with CONSULT-II or a circuit tester connected should
be performed. Follow the ªWork Flowº. Refer to AT-1040.
Before undertaking actual checks, take a few minutes to talk with
a customer who approaches with a driveability complaint. The
customer can supply good information about such problems,
especially intermittent ones. Find out what symptoms are present
and under what conditions they occur. A ªDiagnostic Worksheetº
like the example (AT-1038) should be used.
Start your diagnosis by looking for ªconventionalº problems first.
This will help troubleshoot driveability problems on an electroni-
cally controlled engine vehicle.

A/T Fluid Check
FLUID LEAKAGE CHECK
1. Clean area suspected of leaking. Ð for example, mating
surface of converter housing and transmission case.
2. Start engine, apply foot brake, place selector lever in ªDº
position and wait a few minutes.
3. Stop engine.
4. Check for fresh leakage.
FLUID CONDITION CHECK
Fluid color Suspected problem
Dark or black with burned odor Wear of frictional material
Milky pinkWater contamination Ð Road water
entering through filler tube or breather
Varnished fluid, light to dark brown
and tackyOxidation Ð Over or under filling, Ð
Overheating
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Refer to MA section (ªChecking A/T Fluidº, ªCHASSIS AND
BODY MAINTENANCEº).
Stall Test
STALL TEST PROCEDURE
1. Check A/T and engine fluid levels. If necessary, add.
2. Drive vehicle for approx. 10 minutes or until engine oil and
ATF reach operating temperature.
ATF operating temperature:
50 - 80ÉC (122 - 176ÉF)
3. Set parking brake and block wheels.
4. Install a tachometer where it can be seen by driver during
test.
+It is good practice to put a mark on point of specified
engine rpm on indicator.
5. Start engine, apply foot brake, and place selector lever in ªDº
position.
6. Accelerate to wide open throttle gradually while applying foot
brake.
7. Quickly note the engine stall revolution and immediately
release throttle.
+During test, never hold throttle wide open for more than
5 seconds.
Stall revolution:
2,480 - 2,680 rpm

8. Move selector lever to ªNº position.
9. Cool off ATF.
+Run engine at idle for at least one minute.
10. Repeat steps 5 through 9 with selector lever in ª2º, ª1º and
ªRº positions.
JUDGEMENT OF STALL TEST
The test result and possible damaged components relating to each result are shown in the illustration.
In order to pinpoint the possible damaged components, follow the WORK FLOW shown in AT-1040.
Note
Stall revolution is too high in ªDº or ª2º position:
+Slippage occurs in 1st gear but not in 2nd and 3rd gears. ..... Low one-way clutch slippage
+Slippage occurs at the following gears:
1st through 3rd gears in ªDº position and engine brake functions.
1st and 2nd gears in ª2º position and engine brake functions with accelerator pedal released (fully closed
throttle). ..... Forward clutch or forward one-way clutch slippage
Stall revolution is too high in ªRº position:
+Engine brake does not function in ª1º position. ..... Low & reverse brake slippage
+Engine brake functions in ª1º position. ..... Reverse clutch slippage
Stall revolution within specifications:
+Vehicle does not achieve speed of more than 80 km/h (50 MPH). ..... One-way clutch seizure in torque
converter housing
CAUTION:
Be careful since automatic fluid temperature increases abnormally.
+Slippage occurs in 3rd and 4th gears in ªDº position. ..... High clutch slippage
+Slippage occurs in 2nd and 4th gear in ªDº position. ..... Brake band slippage
Stall revolution less than specifications:
+Poor acceleration during starts. ..... One-way clutch seizure in torque converter

Road Test
DESCRIPTION
+The purpose of the test is to determine overall performance
of A/T and analyze causes of problems.
+The road test consists of the following three parts:
1. Check before engine is started
2. Check at idle
3. Cruise test
+Before road test, familiarize yourself with all test procedures
and items to check.
+Conduct tests on all items until specified symptom is found.
Troubleshoot items which check out No Good after road test.
