lAfter performing each TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS, perform
“DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) CONFIRMATION PROCE-
DURE”.
The DTC should not be displayed in the “DTC CONFIRMA-
TION PROCEDURE” if the repair is completed.
lBefore proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the out-
side of the transaxle. It is important to prevent the internal parts
from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
lDisassembly should be done in a clean work area.
lUse lint-free cloth or towels for wiping parts clean. Common
shop rags can leave fibers that could interfere with the operation
of the transaxle.
lPlace disassembled parts in order for easier and proper assembly.
lAll parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent before inspection or
reassembly.
lGaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the transaxle is disassembled.
lIt is very important to perform functional tests whenever they are indicated.
lThe 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.
lProperly installed valves, sleeves, plugs, etc. will slide along bores in valve body under their own weight.
lBefore 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 place during assembly. Do not use grease.
lExtreme care should be taken to avoid damage to O-rings, seals and gaskets when assembling.
lAfter overhaul, refill the transaxle with new ATF.
lWhen the A/T drain plug is removed, only some of the fluid is drained. Old A/T fluid will remain in torque
converter and ATF cooling system.
Always follow the procedures under “Changing A/T Fluid” in the AT section when changing A/T fluid. Refer
to “Changing A/T Fluid”,AT-13, "
A/T FLUID".
Service Notice or PrecautionsECS004Q3
FAI L-S AFE
The TCM has an electronic Fail-Safe (limp home mode). This allows the vehicle to be driven even if a major
electrical input/output device circuit is damaged.
Under Fail-Safe, the vehicle always runs in third gear, even with a shift lever position of “1”, “2” or “D”. The cus-
tomer may complain of sluggish or poor acceleration.
When the ignition key is turned “ON” following Fail-Safe operation, O/D OFF indicator lamp blinks for about 8
seconds. Refer to SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE(WITHOUT CONSULT-II)",AT- 2 7 3 , "
Diagnostic Proce-
dure Without CONSULT-II"(EXCEPT FOR EURO-OBD) or "TCM Self-diagnostic Procedure(NO TOOLS)",
AT- 5 1 , "
TCM SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (NO TOOLS)"(EURO-OBD).
The blinking of the O/D OFF indicator lamp for about 8 seconds will appear only once and be cleared. The
customer may resume normal driving conditions.
Always follow the “WORK FLOW”, refer toAT-284, "
Work Flow"(EXCEPT FOR Euro-OBD) orAT-61, "Work
Flow"(Euro-OBD).
The SELF-DIAGNOSIS results will be as follows:
lThe first SELF-DIAGNOSIS will indicate damage to the vehicle speed sensor or the revolution sensor.
lDuring the next SELF-DIAGNOSIS, performed after checking the sensor, no damages will be indicated.
TORQUE CONVERTER SERVICE
The torque converter should be replaced under any of the following conditions:
lExternal leaks in the hub weld area.
lConverter hub is scored or damaged.
lConverter pilot is broken, damaged or fits poorly into crankshaft.
lSteel particles are found after flushing the cooler and cooler lines.
lPump is damaged or steel particles are found in the converter.

ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONPFP:00000
IntroductionECS004QH
The A/T system has two self-diagnostic systems.
The first is the emission-related on board diagnostic system (EURO-OBD) performed by the TCM in combina-
tion with the ECM. The malfunction is indicated by the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) and is stored as a DTC
in the ECM memory but not the TCM memory.
The second is the TCM original self-diagnosis indicated by the O/D OFF indicator lamp. The malfunction is
stored in the TCM memory. The detected items are overlapped with EURO-OBD self-diagnostic items. For
detail, refer toAT - 4 2 , "
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULT TEST MODE".
EURO-OBD Function for A/T SystemECS004QI
The ECM provides emission-related on board diagnostic (EURO-OBD) functions for the A/T system. One
function is to receive a signal from the TCM used with EURO-OBD-related parts of the A/T system. The signal
is sent to the ECM when a malfunction occurs in the corresponding EURO-OBD-related part. The other func-
tion is to indicate a diagnostic result by means of the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) on the instrument panel.
Sensors, switches and solenoid valves are used as sensing elements.
The MIL automatically illuminates in One or Two Trip Detection Logic when a malfunction is sensed in relation
to A/T system parts.
One or Two Trip Detection Logic of EURO-OBDECS0 04 QJ
ONETRIPDETECTIONLOGIC
If a malfunction is sensed during the first test drive, the MIL will illuminate and the malfunction will be stored in
the ECM memory as a DTC. The TCM is not provided with such a memory function.
TWO TRIP DETECTION LOGIC
When a malfunction is sensed during the first test drive, it is stored in the ECM memory as a 1st trip DTC
(diagnostic trouble code) or 1st trip freeze frame data. At this point, the MIL will not illuminate. — First Trip
If the same malfunction as that experienced during the first test drive is sensed during the second test drive,
the MIL will illuminate. — Second Trip
A/T-related parts for which the MIL illuminates during the first or second test drive are listed below.
The “trip” in the “One or Two Trip Detection Logic” means a driving mode in which self-diagnosis is performed
during vehicle operation.
EURO-OBD Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)ECS004QK
HOW TO READ DTC AND 1ST TRIP DTC
DTC and 1st trip DTC can be read by the following methods.
(withCONSULT-IIor GST)CONSULT-II or GST (Generic Scan Tool) Examples: P0705, P0710,
P0720, P0725, etc.
These DTCs are prescribed by SAE J2012.
(CONSULT-II also displays the malfunctioning component or system.)
l1st trip DTC No. is the same as DTC No.
lOutput of the diagnostic trouble code indicates that the indicated circuit has a malfunction. How-
ever, in case of the Mode II and GST they do not indicate whether the malfunction is still occurring
or occurred in the past and returned to normal.
CONSULT-II can identify them as shown below. Therefore, using CONSULT-II (if available) is rec-
ommended.

HOW TO ERASE DTC
The diagnostic trouble code can be erased by CONSULT-II, GST or ECM DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE as
described following.
lIf the battery terminal is disconnected, the diagnostic trouble code will be lost within 24 hours.
lWhen you erase the DTC, using CONSULT-II or GST is easier and quicker than switching the mode
selector on the ECM.
The following emission-related diagnostic information is cleared from the ECM memory when erasing DTC
related to EURO-OBD. For details, refer toEC-46, "
HOW TO ERASE EMISSION-RELATED DIAGNOSTIC
INFORMATION".
