• Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the A/T is disassembled.
• It is very important to perform func tional tests whenever they are indicated.
• The valve body contains precision parts and requires extreme care when parts are removed and serviced.
Place disassembled valve body parts in order for easier and proper assembly. Care will also prevent springs
and small parts from becoming scattered or lost.
• Properly installed valves, sleeves, plugs, etc. will slide along bores in valve body under their own weight.
• Before assembly, apply a coat of recommended ATF to all parts. Apply petroleum jelly to protect O-rings and seals, or hold bearings and washers in pl ace during assembly. Do not use grease.
• Extreme care should be taken to avoid damage to O-rings, seals and gaskets when assembling.
• Clean or replace ATF cooler if excessive foreign material is found in oil pan or clogging strainer. Refer to AT-
18, "A/T Fluid Cooler Cleaning".
• After overhaul, refill the A/T with new ATF.
• When the A/T drain plug is removed, only some of the fluid is drained. Old A/T fluid will remain in torque con- verter and ATF cooling system.
Always follow the procedures under “Changing A/T Fluid” in the AT section when changing A/T fluid. Refer to
AT-17, "
Changing A/T Fluid", AT-17, "Checking A/T Fluid".
Service Notice or PrecautionINFOID:0000000005928067
ATF COOLER SERVICE
If A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.), or if an A/T is repaired, overhauled, or replaced,
inspect and clean the A/T oil cooler mounted in the radiator or replace the radiator. Flush cooler lines using
cleaning solvent and compressed air after repair. Check Service Bulletins for latest A/T oil cooler cleaning pro-
cedure. For radiator replacement, refer to CO-16, "
Removal and Installation" (HR16DE engine models), CO-
40, "Removal and Installation" (MR18DE engine models).
TORQUE CONVERTER SERVICE
The torque converter should be replaced under any of the following conditions:
• External leaks in the hub weld area.
• Converter hub is scored or damaged.
• Converter pilot is broken, damaged or fits poorly into crankshaft.
• Steel particles are found after flushing the cooler and cooler lines.
• Pump is damaged or steel particles are found in the converter.
• Vehicle has TCC shudder and/or no TCC apply. Replace only after all hydraulic and electrical diagnoses
have been made. (Converter clutch material may be glazed.)
• Converter is contaminated with engi ne coolant containing antifreeze.
• Internal malfunction of stator roller clutch.
• Heavy clutch debris due to overheating (blue converter).
• Steel particles or clutch lining material found in flui d filter or on magnet when no internal parts in unit are
worn or damaged — indicates that lining material came from converter.
The torque converter should not be replaced if:
• The fluid has an odor, is discolored, and there is no evidence of metal or clutch facing particles.
• The threads in one or more of the converter bolt holes are damaged.
• A/T malfunction did not display evidence of damaged or worn internal parts, steel particles or clutch plate lin-
ing material in unit and inside the fluid filter.
• Vehicle has been exposed to high mileage (only). The e xception may be where the torque converter clutch
dampener plate lining has seen excess wear by vehicles operated in heavy and/or constant traffic, such as
taxi, delivery or police use.
OBD-II SELF-DIAGNOSIS
• A/T self-diagnosis is performed by the TCM in combination with the ECM. The results can be read through the blinking pattern of the OD OFF indicator lamp or the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). Refer to the table
on AT-82, "
Diagnosis Procedure without CONSULT-III" for the indicator used to display each self-diagnostic
result.
• The self-diagnostic results indicated by the MIL are automatically stored in both the ECM and TCM memo- ries.
Always perform the procedure “HOW TO ERASE DTC” on AT-39, "
OBD-II Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC)" to complete the repair and avoid unnecessary blinking of the MIL.
• The following self-diagnostic items can be detected us ing ECM self-diagnostic results mode* only when the
OD OFF indicator lamp does not indicate any malfunctions.
- Transmission range switch
- A/T 1GR, 2GR, 3GR, or 4GR function

DTC DETECTION LOGIC
When a misfire occurs, engine speed will fluctuate. If the engine speed fluctuates
enough to cause the crank-
shaft position (CKP) sensor (POS) signal to vary, ECM can determine that a misfire is occurring.
The misfire detection logic consists of the following two conditions.
1. One Trip Detection Logic (Three Way Catalyst Damage)
On the 1st trip, when a misfire condition occurs that can damage the three way catalyst (TWC) due to
overheating, the MIL will blink.
When a misfire condition occurs, the ECM monitors the CKP sensor signal every 200 engine revolutions
for a change.
When the misfire condition decreases to a level t hat will not damage the TWC, the MIL will turn off.
If another misfire condition occurs that can damage the TWC on a second trip, the MIL will blink.
When the misfire condition decreases to a level t hat will not damage the TWC, the MIL will remain on.
If another misfire condition occurs that can damage the TWC, the MIL will begin to blink again.
2. Two Trip Detection Logic (Exhaust quality deterioration) For misfire conditions that will not damage the TWC (but will affect vehicle emissions), the MIL will only
light when the misfire is detected on a second trip. Du ring this condition, the ECM monitors the CKP sen-
sor signal every 1,000 engine revolutions.
A misfire malfunction can be detected on any one cylinder or on multiple cylinders.
DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1.PRECONDITIONING
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at
least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.
>> GO TO 2.
2.PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE-I
1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
3. Restart engine and let it idle for about 15 minutes.
4. Check 1st trip DTC.
Is 1st trip DTC detected?
YES >> Go to EC-258, "Diagnosis Procedure".
NO >> GO TO 3.
3.PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE-II
1. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.

CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle in safe manner according to traf fic conditions and obey all traffic laws when driv-
ing.
NOTE:
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at
least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.
1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
3. Restart engine and let it idle for about 15 minutes.
4. Check 1st trip DTC.
5. If 1st trip DTC is detected, go to EC-784, "
Diagnosis Procedure".
NOTE:
If 1st trip DTC is not detected during above proc edure, performing the following procedure is advised.
a. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
b. Start engine and drive the vehicle under the similar conditi ons to (1st trip) Freeze Frame Data for a certain
time. Refer to table below.
