RADIATOR
Checking Radiator Cap INFOID:0000000004305238
• Check valve seat of radiator cap.
- Check if valve seat is swollen to the extent that the edge of the plunger cannot be seen when watching it vertically from the top.
- Check if valve seat has no soil and damage.
• Pull negative-pressure valve to open it, and make sure that it is completely closed when released.
- Make sure that there is no dirt or damage on the valve seat of radi-
ator cap negative-pressure valve.
- Make sure that the valve operates properly in the opening and closing conditions.
• Check radiator cap relief pressure using Tool.
- When connecting the radiator cap to the tester, apply water or coolant to the cap seal surface.
- Replace the radiator cap if ther e is an abnormality in the negative-
pressure valve, or if the open-valve pr essure is outside of the standard values.
• Replace radiator cap if there it does not comply to specifications to the above three checks.
CAUTION:
When installing radiator cap, thoroughly wipe out the radiator filler neck to remove any waxy residue
or foreign material.
Checking Radiator INFOID:0000000004305239
Check radiator for mud or clogging. If necessary, clean radiator as follows.
• Be careful not to bend or damage radiator fins.
• When radiator is cleaned without removal, remove all surrounding parts such as cooling fan, radiator shroud and horns. Then tape harness and connectors to prevent water from entering.
1. Apply water by hose to the back side of the radiator core vertically downward.
2. Apply water again to all radiator core surface once per minute.
3. Stop washing if any stains no longer flow out from radiator.
4. Blow air into the back side of radiator core vertically downward. • Use compressed air lower than 490 kPa (4.9 bar, 5 kg/cm 2
, 71 psi) and keep distance more than 30 cm
(11.8 in).
5. Blow air again into all the radiator core surfaces once per minute until no water sprays out. PBIC2816E

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
DTC Inspection Priority Chart INFOID:0000000004666880
If some DTCs are displayed at the same time, perform inspections one by one based on the following priority
chart.
NOTE:
If DTC “U1000 CAN COMM CIRCUIT” is displayed with other DTCs, first perform the trouble diagnosis
for “DTC U1000 CAN COMMUNICATION LINE”. Refer to CVT-60 .
Fail-Safe INFOID:0000000004666881
The TCM has an electrical fail-safe mode. This mode make s it possible to operate even if there is an error in a
main electronic control input/output signal circuit.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION If any malfunction occurs in a sensor or solenoid, th is function controls the CVT to make driving possible.
Output Speed Sensor (Secondary Speed Sensor) The shift pattern is changed in accordance with throttle position when an unexpected signal is sent from the
output speed sensor (secondary speed sensor) to the TCM. The overdrive-off mode is inhibited, and the tran-
saxle is put in “D”.
Input Speed Sensor (Primary Speed Sensor) The shift pattern is changed in accordance with throttle position and secondary speed (vehicle speed) when
an unexpected signal is sent from the input speed sensor (primary speed sensor) to the TCM. The sport mode
is inhibited, and the transaxle is put in “D”.
PNP Switch If an unexpected signal is sent from the PNP switch to the TCM, the transaxle is put in “D”.
CVT Fluid Temperature Sensor If an unexpected signal is sent from the CVT fluid temper ature sensor to the TCM, the gear ratio in use before
receiving the unexpected signal is maintained or the gear ratio is controlled to keep engine speed under 3500
rpm.
Transmission Fluid Pressure Sens or A (Secondary Pressure Sensor)
• If an unexpected signal is sent from the transmission fl uid pressure sensor A (secondary pressure sensor) to
the TCM, the secondary pressure feedback control is stopped and the offset value obtained before the non-
standard condition occurs is used to control line pressure.
• If transmission fluid pressure sensor A (secondary pre ssure sensor) error signal is input to TCM, secondary
pressure feedback control stops, but line pressure is controlled normally.
Pressure Control Solenoid A (Line Pressure Solenoid) If an unexpected signal is sent from the solenoid to t he TCM, the pressure control solenoid A (line pressure
solenoid) is turned OFF to achieve the maximum fluid pressure.
Pressure Control Solenoid B (Secondary Pressure Solenoid) If an unexpected signal is sent from the solenoid to t he TCM, the pressure control solenoid B (secondary pres-
sure solenoid) is turned OFF to achieve the maximum fluid pressure.
Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid If an unexpected signal is sent from the solenoid to t he TCM, the torque converter clutch solenoid is turned
OFF to cancel the lock-up.
Step Motor If an unexpected signal is sent from the step motor to the TCM, the step motor coil phases “A” through “D” are
all turned OFF to hold the gear ratio used right before the non-standard condition occurred.

The CVT fluid temperature rises in the range of 50 - 80
°C (122 - 176 °F) during 10 minutes of driving.
3. After warming up CVT, remove the oil pressure detection plug and install the oil pressure gauge [special service tool: - (OTC3492)].
CAUTION:
When using the oil pressure gauge, be sure to use the O-ring attached to the oil pressure detec-
tion plug.
4. Securely engage the parking brake so that the tires do not turn.
5. Start the engine, and then measure the line pressure at both idle and the stall speed.
CAUTION:
• Keep the brake pedal pressed all the way down during
measurement.
• When measuring the line pressure at the stall speed, refer
to "STALL TEST" .

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Road Test INFOID:0000000004666886
DESCRIPTION
• The purpose of the test is to determine overall performance of CVT and analyze causes of problems.
• The road test consists of the following three parts:
1. “Check Before Engine Is Started” CVT-45 .
2. “Check at Idle” CVT-45 .
3. “Cruise Test” CVT-47 .
Judgement Possible cause
Idle speed Low for all positions
(“P”, “R”, “N”, “D”, “L”) Possible causes include malfunctions in the pressure supply system and low oil pump output.
For example
• Oil pump wear
• Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking or spring fatigue
• Oil strainer ⇒ oil pump ⇒ pressure regulator valve passage oil leak
• Engine idle speed too low
Only low for a specific
position Possible causes include an oil pressure leak in a passage or device related to the position after
the pressure is distributed by the manual valve.
High Possible causes include a sensor malfunction or malfunction in the line pressure adjustment
function.
For example
• Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction
• CVT fluid temperature sensor malfunction
• Pressure control solenoid A (line pressure solenoid) malfunction (sticking in OFF state, filter
clog, cut line)
• Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
Stall speed Line pressure does
not rise higher than
the line pressure for
idle. Possible causes include a sensor malfunction or malfunction in the pressure adjustment func-
tion.
For example
• Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction
• TCM malfunction
• Pressure control solenoid A (line pressure solenoid) malfunction (shorting, sticking in ON state)
• Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
The pressure rises,
but does not enter the
standard position. Possible causes include malfunctions in the pressure supply system and malfunction in the pres-
sure adjustment function.
For example
• Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction
• Pressure control solenoid A (line pressure solenoid) malfunction (sticking, filter clog)
• Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
Only low for a specific
position Possible causes include an oil pressure leak in a passage or device related to the position after
