(b) Clearance the DTC.
The following actions will erase the DTC and freeze frame
data. Operating an OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE
J1978) or TOYOTA hand±held tester to erase the codes.
(See the OBD II scan tool's instruction book for operating
instructions.)
4. ROAD TEST
NOTICE:
Perform the test at normal operating ATF temperature 50 ± 80 °C (122 ± 176 °F).
(a) D position test
Shift into the D position and fully depress the accelerator pedal and and check the following points:
(1) Check up±shift operation.
1 " 2, 2 " 3 and 3 " O/D up±shifts take place, at the shift point shown in the automatic shift
schedule (See page SS±54).
HINT:

O/D Gear Up±shift Prohibition Control (1. Coolant temp. is 50 °C (122 °C) or less. 2. If there is a 10
km/h (6 mph) difference between the set cruise control speed and vehicle speed.)

O/D Gear Lock±up Prohibition Control (1. Brake pedal is depressed. 2. Coolant temp. is 50 °C
(122 °C) or less.)
(2) Check for shift shock and slip.
Check for shock and slip at the 1 " 2, 2 " 3 and 3 " O/D up±shifts.
(3) Check for abnormal noises and vibration.
Run at the D position lock±up or O/D gear and check for abnormal noises and vibration.
HINT:
The check for the cause of abnormal noises and vibration must be done very thoroughly as it could also be
due to loss of balance in the differential or torque converter clutch, etc.
(4) Check kick±down operation.
While running in the D position, 2nd, 3rd and O/D gears, check to see that the possible kick±down
vehicle speed limits for 2 " 1, 3 " 2 and O/D " 3 kick±downs conform to those indicated on
the automatic shift schedule (See page SS±54).
(5) Check abnormal shock and slip at kick±down.
(6) Check the lock±up mechanism.

Drive in D position, O/D gear, at a steady speed (lock±up ON) of about 75 km/h (47 mph).

Lightly depress the accelerator pedal and check that the engine speed does not change
abruptly.
If there is a big jump in engine speed, there is no lock±up.
(b) 2 position test
Shift into the 2 position and fully depress the accelerator pedal and check the following points:
(1) Check up±shift operation.
Check to see that the 1 " 2 up±shift takes place and that the shift point conforms to the automatic
shift schedule (See page SS±54).
HINT:
There is no O/D up±shift and lock±up in the 2 position.
(2) Check engine braking.
While running in the 2 position and 2nd gear, release the accelerator pedal and check the engine
braking effect.

(3) Check for abnormal noises during acceleration and deceleration, and for shock at up±shift and
down±shift.
(c) L position test
Shift into the 2 position and fully depress the accelerator pedal and check the following points:
(1) Check no up±shift.
While running in the L position, check that there is no up±shift to 2nd gear.
(2) Check engine braking.
While running in the L position, release the accelerator pedal and check the engine braking ef-
fect.
(3) Check for abnormal noises during acceleration and deceleration.
(d) R position test
Shift into the R position and fully depress the accelerator pedal and check for slipping.
CAUTION:
Before conducting this test ensure that the test area is free from people and obstruction.
(e) P position test
Stop the vehicle on a grade (more than 5°) and after shifting into the P position, release the parking
brake. Then, check to see that the parking lock pawl holds the vehicle in place.
5. BASIC INSPECTION
(a) Check the fluid level.
HINT:

Drive the vehicle so that the engine and transaxle are at
normal operating temperature.
Fluid temp.: 70 ± 80 °C (158 ± 176 °F)

Only use the COOL range on the dipstick as a rough refer-
ence when the fluid is replaced or the engine does not
run.
(1) Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the park-
ing brake.
(2) With the engine idling and the brake pedal de-
pressed, shift the shift lever into all positions from P
to L position and return to P position.
(3) Pull out the dipstick and wipe it clean.
(4) Push it back fully into the pipe.
(5) Pull it out and check that the fluid level is in the HOT
range.
If the level is not within the range, add new fluid.
Fluid type: ATF D±II or DEXRON®III (DEXRON®II)
NOTICE:
Do not overfill.
(b) Check the fluid condition.
If the level is not within the hot range.

1. CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS
In troubleshooting, the problem symptoms must be confirmed accurately and all preconceptions must be
cleared away in order to give an accurate judgment. To ascertain just what the problem symptoms are, it is
extremely important to ask the customer about the problem and the conditions at the time it occurred.
Important Point in the Problem Analysis:
The following 5 items are important points in the problem analysis. Past problems which are thought to be
unrelated and the repair history, etc. may also help in some cases, so as much information as possible should
be gathered and its relationship with the problem symptoms should be correctly ascertained for reference
in troubleshooting. A customer problem analysis table is provided in Diagnostics section for each system
for your use.
