DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
WARNING:

When performing a road test, select a place where there is no traffic or possibility of a traffic accident
and be very careful during testing to avoid occurrence of an accident.

Road test should be carried out with 2 persons, a driver and a tester, on a level road.
1) Connect scan tool to DLC with ignition switch OFF.
2) Clear DTC, pending DTC and freeze frame data in PCM memory by using scan tool and check fuel level meter
indication is 1 / 4 or more.
3) Start engine, warm it up to normal operating temperature and shift transfer lever to ª2Hº or ª4Hº range.
4) Increase vehicle speed with D range, and check that gear position changes from 1st to 2nd, 3rd and 4th in that
order as vehicle speed increases, referring to ªGear Shift Diagramº in this section.
5) Stop vehicle and check pending DTC and DTC by using scan tool.

FLUID LEVEL
LEVEL CHECK AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE
1) Stop vehicle and place it level.
2) Apply parking brake and place chocks against wheels.
3) With selector at P position, start engine.
4) Warm up engine till fluid temperature reaches normal operating
temperature (70 ± 80C / 158 ± 176F). As a guide to check fluid
temperature, warm up engine till engine coolant temperature
meter indicated around 1 unit above ªCº point.
5) Keep engine idling and shift selector slowly to L and back to P
position.
6) With engine idling, pull out dipstick, wipe it off with a clean cloth
and put it back into place.
7) Pull out dipstick again and check fluid level indicated on it. Fluid
level should be between FULL HOT and LOW HOT. If it is below
LOW HOT, add an equivalent of DEXRON-III up to FULL HOT.
Fluid specification
An equivalent of DEXRON-III
NOTE:

DO NOT RACE ENGINE while checking fluid level, even af-
ter the engine start.

DO NOT OVERFILL. Overfilling can causes foaming and
loss of fluid through breather. Then slippage and trans-
mission failure can result.

Bringing the level from LOW HOT to FULL HOT requires
0.3 liters (0.64/0.53 US/lmp.pt).

If vehicle was driven under high load such as pulling a
trailer, fluid level should be checked about half an hour af-
ter it is stopped.

LEVEL CHECK AT ROOM TEMPERATURE
The fluid level check at room temperature performed after repair or
fluid change before test driving is just preparation for level check of
normal operating temperature. The checking procedure itself is the
same as that described previously. If the fluid level is between FULL
COLD and LOW COLD, proceed to test drive. And when the fluid
temperature has reached the normal operating temperature, check
fluid level again and adjust it as necessary.
FLUID CHANGE
1) Lift up vehicle.
2) With engine is cool, remove drain plug from oil pan and drain A / T
fluid.
3) Install drain plug.

rod (or manual release plate) toward rear side of vehicle by using
screw driver or the like.
3) In this state, select lever can be moved to any range or position.
SYSTEM INSPECTION
1) Check to make sure that select lever cannot be moved to any
other range from ªPº range position when ignition switch key is
at ªACCº position, at ªLOCKº position (or it is removed from key-
hole of ignition switch) or brake pedal is not depressed.
2) Shift select lever to ªPº range position, release knob button and
check for the following.

7C1-2 CLUTCH
The clutch is a diaphragm-spring clutch of a dry single
disc type. The diaphragm spring is of a tapering-finger
type, which is a solid ring in the outer diameter part,
with a series of tapered fingers pointing inward.
The disc, carrying torsional coil springs, is positioned
on the transmission input shaft with an involute spline
fit.
The clutch cover is secured to the flywheel, and car-
ries the diaphragm spring in such a way that the pe-
ripheral edge part of the spring pushes on the pres-
sure plate against the flywheel (with the disc in be-
tween), when the clutch release bearing is held back.
This is the engaged condition of the clutch.Depressing the clutch pedal causes the release bear-
ing to advance and pushes on the tips of the tapered
fingers of the diaphragm spring. When this happens,
the diaphragm spring pulls the pressure plate away
from the flywheel, thereby interrupting the flow of
drive from flywheel through clutch disc to transmis-
sion input shaft.
