Converter is contaminated with engine coolant containing antifreeze.

Internal failure of stator roller clutch.

Heavy clutch debris due to overheating (blue converter).

Steel particles or clutch lining material found in fluid 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.

Transaxle failure did not display evidence of damaged or worn internal parts, steel particles or clutch plate
lining material in unit and inside the fluid filter.

Vehicle has been exposed to high mileage (only). The exception 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.
EURO-OBD SELF-DIAGNOSIS — EURO-OBD —

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 O/D OFF indicator lamp or the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). Refer to the
table on AT- 4 5 , "
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULT TEST MODE" 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 mem-
ories.
Always perform the procedure “HOW TO ERASE DTC” on AT- 4 2 , "
HOW TO ERASE DTC" to com-
plete the repair and avoid unnecessary blinking of the MIL.

The following self-diagnostic items can be detected using ECM self-diagnostic results mode* only when
the O/D OFF indicator lamp does not indicate any malfunctions.
–PNP switch
–A/T 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th gear function
*: For details of EURO-OBD, refer to EC-51, "
ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM" .

Certain systems and components, especially those related to EURO-OBD, may use a new style
slide-locking type harness connector.
For description and how to disconnect, refer to PG-70, "
HARNESS CONNECTOR" .

Checking A/T FluidECS004Q7
1. Warm up engine.
2. Check for A/T fluid leakage.
3. Before driving, A/T fluid level can be checked at A/T fluid tem-
peratures of 30 to 50°C (86 to 122°F) using “COLD” range on A/
T fluid level gauge.
a. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
b. Start engine and move selector lever through each gear posi-
tion. Leave selector lever in “P” position.
c. Check A/T fluid level with engine idling.
d. Remove A/T fluid level gauge and note reading. If level is at low
side of either range, and A/T fluid to the A/T fluid charging pipe.
CAUTION:
When wiping away the A/T fluid level gauge, always use
lint-free paper, not a cloth one.
e. Re-insert A/T fluid level gauge into A/T fluid charging pipe as far
as it will go.
CAUTION:
Firmly fix the A/T fluid level gauge to the A/T fluid charging
pipe using a stopper attached.
f. Remove A/T fluid level gauge and note reading. If reading is at
low side of range, add A/T fluid to the A/T fluid charging pipe.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill.
4. Drive vehicle for approximately 5 minutes in urban areas.
5. Recheck A/T fluid level at A/T fluid temperatures of 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F) using “HOT” range on A/T
fluid level gauge.
CAUTION:

When wiping away the A/T fluid level gauge, always use lint-free paper, not a cloth one.

Firmly fix the A/T fluid level gauge to the A/T fluid charging pipe using a stopper attached.

6. Check A/T fluid condition.

If A/T fluid is very dark or smells burned, checking operation
of A/T. Flush cooling system after repair of A/T.

If A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.),
replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent
and compressed air after repair of A/T. Refer to CO-12,
"RADIATOR" , CO-14, "RADIATOR (ALUMINUM TYPE)" .
7. Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge in the A/T fluid charging
pipe.
CAUTION:
Firmly fix the A/T fluid level gauge to the A/T fluid charging
pipe using a stopper attached.
Changing A/T FluidECS004Q8
1. Warm up A/T fluid.
2. Stop engine.
3. Drain A/T fluid from drain plug and refill with new A/T fluid. Always refill same volume with drained fluid.
Refer to MA-17, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .
CAUTION:
Do not reuse drain plug gasket.
4. Run engine at idle speed for five minutes.
5. Check A/T fluid level and condition. Refer to AT- 1 6 , "
Checking
A/T Fluid" . If A/T fluid is still dirty, repeat steps 2 through 5.

CLUTCH AND BAND CHART

*1: Operates when overdrive control switch is set in “OFF” position.

*2: Oil pressure is applied to both 2nd “apply” side and 3rd “release” side of band servo piston. However, brake band does not con-
tract because oil pressure area on the “release” side is greater than that on the “apply” side.

*3: Oil pressure is applied to 4th “apply” side in condition *2 above, and brake band contracts.

*4: A/T will not shift to 4th when overdrive control switch is set in “OFF” position.

: Operates.

A: Operates when throttle opening is less than 3/16, activating engine brake.

B: Operates during “progressive” acceleration.

C: Operates but does not affect power transmission.

D: Operates when throttle opening is less than 3/16, but does not affect engine brake. Shift positionRever

“11 ” Position

Forward clutch

Forward one-way clutch

Overrun clutch

Low & reverse brakeAs overrun clutch engages, rear internal gear is locked by the operation of low and
reverse brake.
This is different from that of D
1 and 21 .
Engine brake Overrun clutch always engages, therefore engine brake can be obtained when deceler-
ating.

“D4 ” (OD) Position

High clutch

Brake band

Forward clutch (Does not affect power
transmission)Input power is transmitted to front carrier through high clutch.
This front carrier turns around the sun gear which is fixed by brake band and makes
front internal gear (output) turn faster.
Engine brakeAt D
4 position, there is no one-way clutch in the power transmission line and engine
brake can be obtained when decelerating.

“R” Position

Reverse clutch

Low & reverse brakeFront planetary carrier is stationary because of the operation of low and reverse brake.
Input power is transmitted to front sun gear through reverse clutch, which drives front
internal gear in the opposite direction.
Engine brakeAs there is no one-way clutch in the power transmission line, engine brake can be
obtained when decelerating.

TCM FunctionECS004QE
The function of the TCM is to:

Receive input signals sent from various switches and sensors.

Determine required line pressure, shifting point, lock-up operation, and engine brake operation.

Send required output signals to the respective solenoids.
CONTROL SYSTEM OUTLINE
The automatic transaxle senses vehicle operating conditions through various switches and sensors. It always
controls the optimum shift position and reduces shifting and lock-up shocks.
