SELF-DIAGNOSIS
Warning to the driver
• When trouble has occurred to throttle position sensor, output
revolution sensor, input revolution sensor, neutral star t
switch, engine revolution signal, speed meter signal, or
solenoids, "CHECK TRANS" lamp is blinked (1.25 Hz) even
during driving to warn the driver.
• The trouble is recorded by trouble code in TCM.
• When temporary trouble has been shooted, the "CHECK
TRANS" lamp stops blinking. This blinking can be stopped
by setting the ignition key off. But the trouble code remains
memorized in TCM.
Self-diagnosis code (Flashing code) display
• For quick search for faulty parts, 12 different items of trouble
code are indicated by "CHECK TRANS" lamp blinking.
• The storaged trouble codes can be identified by shor ting the
terminals No. 11 and No. 4 or 5 (ground) of data link
connector with a lead wire.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (AW30-40LE) 7A–15
F07LV001
Indication Method:
1.Terminals No. 11 are No. 4 or 5 (ground) of data link
connector are short circuited.
2. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
3. In case there no trouble, normal code is indicated.
4. In case a plurality of trouble codes have occurred at a time,
each code is indicated three times in numerical order.
NOTE:
Power line runs through data link connector.
Be careful shorting with a lead wire, etc.
(The vehicle side of control module may be damaged.) For
identification of trouble code, connect Tech2 to data link
connector.
Clear of trouble code memory
1. Clear the trouble code memory using F1: Clear DTC
Information for Tech2.
2. After more than 1 second has elapsed after the ignition key
has been turned ON, short between No. 11 and No. 4 or 5
(ground) of data link connector. Then, after 1 second, but
within 6 seconds, discontinue shorting.

TECH2 CONNECTION
The Tech2 scan tool is used to electrically diagnose the
automatic transmission system and to check the system. The
Tech2 enhances the diagnosis efficiency though all the
troubleshooting can be done without the Tech2.
The Tech2 is a portable, compact, and light tester. When it is
connected to the diagnosis connector of the vehicle, you can
perform a variety of diagnoses and tests by communicating
with the Transmission Control Module (TCM) of the vehicle.
1. Configuration of Tech2
1. Tech2 scan tool kit (No. 7000086), Tech2 scan tool (No.
7000057) and DLC cable (No. 3000095)
2. SAE16/19 adapter (No. 3000098) (1), RS232 loop back
connector (No. 3000112) (2), and PCMCIA card (No.
3000117) (3)
2. Tech2 Connection
•Observe the Tech2 User Guide.
1. Check the ignition is OFF.
2. Inser t the ISUZU 2000 system PCMCIA card (1) into the
Te c h 2 ( 4 ) .
3. Connect the SAE16/19 adapter (2) to the DLC cable (3).
4. Connect the DLC cable (3) to the Tech2 (4).
5. Connect the SAE16/19 adapter (2) to the diagnosis
connector of the vehicle.
6. Turn the ignition of the vehicle ON and press the "PWR"
key of the Tech2.
•Check the display of the Tech2.
NOTE:
Be sure to check that the power is not supplied to the
Tech2 when attaching or removing the PCMCIA card.

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.
Actuator Tests
The purpose of “Actuator Tests" mode is to check for
correct operation of electronic system actuators.
Lamps
You can operate the lamps by pressing the ON and OFF
buttons.
Preconditions: P or N position
Solenoid
Solenoid S1(1-2/3-4), S2(2-3) and TCC Solenoid

DTC P0743 (FLASHING CODE 33) TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH CONTROL LOCK-UP (ON/
OFF) SOLENOID FA I L U R E ( S L )
D07RY00047Circuit description:
The lock-up solenoid SL of the torque converter clutch
(TCC) controls the lock-up clutch by a signal according to
the lock-up range judgement of the TCM when the
vehicle runs.
This function can improve the fuel consumption to almost
the same extent as the manual transmission. The lock-up
solenoid SL is put into B+ by the TCM, so that the
solenoid is actuated with the result of lock-up.
Fail-safe control:
The TCM controls fail-safe by detecting SL solenoid
fai lu re.
Failure detection:
GND SHORT detection
•When SHORT detection continues for 0.3 sec.
•When SHORT failure detection continues 8 times.
Open detection
•When OPEN detection continues for 0.5 sec.
•When OPEN failure detection continues 8 times.
Contents of control:
At failure detection
• Lock-up control inhibit
• If + B short failure is detected, keeps 1st gear when
the vehicle speed calculated by output revolution
sensor is less than 10km/h to prevent stall.
(Canceled at more than 15km/h)
At failure decision
Executes following items in addition to above control
items at failure detection.
•Stores the failure information in failure-memory.
Conditions of turning “CHECK TRANS” lamp off:
NoneReversion conditions from fail-safe:
When a normal condition is judged by rechecking on the
state of lock-up ON/OFF
Test description:
The following numbers correspond to circled numbers on
the diagnostic char t.
(1) When the key is ON, the voltage between the TCM
connector terminals (C78-12) and (C78-15 or 19) is
1.0 V or less.
(2) When the gear is of the 2nd speed in the D range
and the throttle opening is about 50% at a higher
speed than about 40km/h, the TCM supplies 8 to 16
V, so that the solenoid is actuated with the result of
lock-up.
(3) The resistance range of the solenoid is 11 to 15
.
Diagnostic aids:
In case of faulty connection, open or shorted circuit. to
the TCM terminal (C78-12), DTC P0743 is displayed. A
intermittent failure may be caused by a poor connection,
rubbed through wire insulation or a wire broke inside the
insulation.

ON
OFF ON.
Reversion conditions from fail-safe:
At failure detection
When a normal judgment is obtained by rechecking
during shifting.
At failure decision
