INSPECTION AND RAPAIR
1. Visually check for cracks/clogs inside intake
manifold.
2. If foreign material is observed, it should be taken
out, and if there are some cracks on the intake
manifold, it must be replaced.
INSTALLATION
1. Install the intake manifold assembly, tighten bolts
and to the specified torque.
Torque: 20 Nꞏm (2.0 kgꞏm / 14.5 lb ft) for bolt
Torque: 20 Nꞏm (2.0 kgꞏm / 14.5 lb ft) for nut
2. Install fuel pipe.
Torque: 4 Nꞏm (0.4 kgꞏm / 2.9 lb ft) for M16 nut
(Apply engine oil)
Torque: 13 Nꞏm (1.3 kgꞏm / 9.4 lb ft) for M10 cap nut
Torque: 14 Nꞏm (1.4 kgꞏm / 10 lb ft) for M10
(Apply engine oil)
3. Install two way check valve.
Torque: 20 Nꞏm (2.0 kgꞏm / 14.5 lb ft)
4. Fill with about 300 cc of engine oil from the high
pressure oil pipe installation port of the oil rail using
an oil filler.
If assembled without filling the oil rail with oil, the
time for engine starting will be longer.

Chart 13: Shudder Only During Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Applying
StepActionYe sNo
11. TCC shudder is one of the most commonly misdiagnosed
conditions in an automatic transmission. The key to
diagnosing TCC shudder is to note when it happens and under
what conditions. Once the TCC has been fully applied, it is
nearly impossible to make it shudder. TCC shudder (short
burst of noise normally less than 1 second) will only occur
during clutch applying. It is not a steady state condition.
2. Drive until whole drivetrain is at normal operating temperature.
– On 4WD vehicles, the test must be performed with transfer
case selector lever in “2H” position.
– Shudder is a short burst of noise normally less than 1 second
in duration, and can be induced by the following maneuver:
3. From coast condition at 50 mph in “D” range (Normal mode),
depress the throttle to 1/4-1/3 throttle. If present, shudder will
occur within 5 seconds together with TCC application.(The
scan tool may be used to determine the exact time of TCC
applying)

Chart 14: Possible Causes Of Transmission Noise
CAUTION: Before checking transmission for what
is believed to be transmission noise, ensure
presence and positioning of insulating plugs, pads
etc. Also make sure that noise does not come from
other drivetrain components.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (AW30-40LE) 7A–7
CONTROL AND FUNCTIONS
Item Description
Shift and lock-up control • In D range, speed change point and Lock-up point can be changed by
setting pattern selection switch to "POWER", "NORMAL" or "WINTER"
mode.
• Gear shift position in the conditions made up of transmission shift positions
(D.2.L) combined with pattern selection switch (POWER, NORMAL, and
WINTER) can be controlled in accordance with vehicle speed and the
opening of throttle valve.
Overdrive cut control • If O/D OFF switch is set on in D range (O/D OFF lamp ON), gear shift to O/
D is not effected.
• Overdrive is released at O/D OFF switch on and high transmission oil
temperature (More than 130
C).
However, to prevent engine over revolution
•4
3 shifting at vehicle speed is less than 118 km/h.
•3
4 shifting at vehicle speed is more than 131 km/h.
Lock-up cut control • In D range, 3rd or O/D lock-up is conducted in "POWER" or "NORMAL"
mode.
• In 2, L range, lock-up is off in the whole area.
• Lock-up timing is controlled to reduce gear shift shock using kind of gear
shift (shift up, etc.) lock-up status at the time of gear shift judgement, gear
step and throttle opening after gear shift.
• Lock-up is released at brake on or high transmission oil temperature (More
than 130
C).
• Lock-up is prohibited when idling is defected by throttle position sensor.
Driving mode select control • The TCM selects a suitable driving mode from the nine kinds for the variety
driving condition.
i) Economy mode ii) Power mode iii) Winter mode iv) HOT1 mode v) HOT2
mode vi) L4 mode vii) Slope mode (Up slope 1, Up slope 2 and Down
slope mode)
• The priority of driving mode:
Economy < Power < Slope < L4 < Winter < HOT1 < HOT2
Squat control • When the TCM detects D signal on, the TCM controls 1–3–1 shift by
setting a timer, in order to improve the shift feel at N
D.
Line pressure control • The TCM output current which corresponds to throttle oil pressure to
pressure control solenoid based on throttle opening.
Indicate oil temperature warning
function• If the transmission oil temperature sensor senses that transmission oil
temperature is greater than 146
C, the TCM turn on A/T OIL TEMP
warning lamp. (The warning lamp is turned off, if oil temperature is less
than 126
C.)
L4 mode control • The TCM judges whether the transfer is engaged in high or low based on
the ratio rpm data from output speed sensor in the transmission and the
rpm data from speed meter sensor to select the shift map.
Up and down hill control • The TCM judges up and down hill, and change shift pattern based on
throttle opening and acceleration.
Correct oil temperature control • If the temperature exceeds a predetermined value, the TCM selects the
high oil temperature shift point for downshifting, thus preventing the oil
temperature from rising. (More than 130
C, D range)

7A–8 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (AW30-40LE)
Winter mode control • The TCM controls the vehicle start smoothly on low frictional road like
snow road by executing this control.
Activate condition:
1. Excluding "2", "L" range
2. Vehicle speed is less than 11 km/h
3. Transmission oil temperature is less than 115
C
4. Throttle opening is less than 8%
5. Excluding winter mode
Cancel condition:
1. When winter mode switch is pushed again
2. When either "2" or "L" is detected
3. Ignition switch "OFF"
4. Vehicle speed is more than 34 km/h for 1 second or mode continuously
5. Transmission oil temperature is more than 130
C
Fail-safe function • When trouble occurs to vehicle sensor and each solenoid, TCM
automatically exer ts fail-safe control not to spoil driveability.
• This control is exer ted when sensor or actuator is in trouble, while TCM
works normally.
Diagnosis function • If there is an abnormality in vehicle sensors, each solenoid (S1-S3, STH),
or throttle position sensor, "CHECK TRANS" lamp is actuated to warn the
drive. But when the abnormality items have been restored to normal, the
light does not blink.
• Faulty parts are memorized in TCM. If self-diagnosis star t signal is
inputted, "CHECK TRANS" lamp is blinked and results of diagnosis are
indicated. A history of faults remains recorded even when IGN switch is off.
TECH 2 • Output of control data in the TCM
• Actuator (Solenoid) operation check
• Erasure of trouble code

7A–20 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (AW30-40LE)
Once the test vehicle has been identified an “Application
(Power train) Menu" screen appears. Please select the
appropriate application.
The following table shows, which functions are used for
the available equipment versions.
Diagnostic Trouble Codes
The purpose of the “Diagnostic Trouble Codes" mode is
to display stored TCM trouble codes.
When “Diagnostic Trouble Codes" is selected an
“Application Menu" screen appears.
Clear DTC Information
The purpose of the “Clear DTC Information" mode is to
command the clearing of stored TCM trouble codes.
When “Clear DTC Information" is selected, a “Clear
DTC Information", warning screen appears. This screen
informs you that by cleaning DTC's, “all stored DTC
information in controller will be erased".
Do you want to clear DTC's (Yes/No).
Press either the Yes or No key when answering.
After clearing codes, confirm system operation by test
driving the vehicle.
Allow the vehicle to shift through all four forward gears in
a manner which attempts to repeat the failure condition.
NOTE: When the trouble has not been repaired and thetrouble code cannot be erased, check the vehicle again.
DTC Information
When “DTC Information" is selected, an “Application
Menu" appears with a list of DTC information function
keys addressing DTC specifics and their origins.
Function key selections may vary for particular vehicle
and/or system.
Data Display
The purpose of the “Data Display" mode is to
continuously monitor data parameters.
The current actual values of all impor tant sensors and
signals in the system are display through F1 mode.
When “Data Display" is selected an “Application Menu"
appears.
See “TRANSMISSION DATA" and “TCC DATA” on next
page.
Snapshot
When “Snapshot" is selected an “Application Menu"
appears.
When “Transmission Snapshot" application is selected
from the “Application Menu", a “Snapshot Menu"
appears, displaying several options. “Snapshot" options
may vary from one system to another.
“Snapshot" allows a recording of all vehicle parameters.
There parameters may then be replayed at a future
point in time.
This action allows you to focus on making the condition
occur, rather than trying to view all of the data in
anticipation of the fault. The snapshot will collect
parameter information around a trigger point that you
select.
When a snapshot is taken. It is recorded onto the
PCMCIA memory card. When the Tech2 is powered
down. Snapshots are not lost.
