stop start TOYOTA CAMRY V20 1986 Service Information

AT5032
(A540H)
The A540H automatic transaxle design is based on the A540E automatic transaxle and equipped with a
center differential and transfer.
This transaxle has the same hydraulic multiplate clutch in the center differential limiting control mecha-
nism as the A241H automatic transaxle on the Corolla All-Trac/4WD Station Wagon. The fluid pressure
acting on the hydraulic multiplate clutch of the A540H is controlled by the ECT ECU (Electronic Control
Unit) according to the vehicle driving conditions. As a result, torque is distributed to the front and rear
wheels appropriately at all times to maximize the overall performance of the 4WD vehicle.
NOTICE: Special handling methods are necessary for full-time 4WD vehicles during inspection and
maintenance. Instructions concerning these handling methods are given on Camry Repair Manual
(Pub. No. RM199U) on page IN-8.

5. INSPECT AND ADJUST SHIFT CABLE
When shifting the shift lever from the N position to oth-
er positions, check that the lever can be shifted
smoothly and accurately to each position and that the
position indicator correctly indicates the position.
If the indicator is not aligned with the correct position,
carry out the following adjustment procedures.
(a) Loosen the swivel nut on manual shift lever.
(b) Push the manual lever fully toward the right side of the
vehicle.
(c) Return the lever two notches to NEUTRAL position.
(d) Set the shift lever to N.
(e) While holding the lever lightly toward the R range
side, tighten the swivel nut.
6. ADJUST NEUTRAL START SWITCH
If the engine will start with the shift selector in any
range other than N or P range, adjustment is required.
(a) Loosen the neutral start switch bolts and set the shift
selector to the N range.
(b) Align the groove and neutral basic line.
(c) Hold in position and tighten the bolts.
Torque: 55 kg±cm (48 in.±Ib, 5.4 N±m)
7. INSPECT IDLE SPEED (N RANGE)
Idle speed: 700 rpm 4. INSPECT AND ADJUST THROTTLE CABLE
(a) Depress the accelerator pedal all the way and check that the
throttle valve opens fully.
HINT: If the valve does not open fully, adjust the accelerator
link.
(b) Fully depress the accelerator pedal.
(c) Loosen the adjustment nuts.
(d) Adjust the outer cable so that the distance between the end
of the boot and stopper on the cable is the standard.
Standard boot and cable stopper distance:
0± 1 mm 10±0.04 in.)
(e) Tighten the adjusting nuts.
(f ) Recheck the adjustments.

3. INSPECT EACH UP±SHIFT POSITION
(a) Warm up the engine.
Coolant temperature: 176
°F (80°C)
(b) Turn the O/D switch to ºONº.
(c) Place the pattern select switch in ºNormalº and the shift
lever into the D range.
(d) During a road test (above 10 km/h or 6 mph) check that
voltage at the ECT terminal is as indicated below for
each up±shift position.
If the voltage rises from 0V to 7V in the sequence
shown, the control system is okay.
The chart on the left shows the voltmeter reading and
corresponding gears. .
HINT: Determine the gear position by a light shock or
change in engine rpm when shifting. The lock±up clutch
will turn ON only infrequently during normal 2nd and 3rd
gear operation. To trigger this action, press the acceler-
ator pedal to 50% or more of its stroke. At less than
50%, the voltage may change in the sequence 2V ± 4V
± 6V ± 7V. 2. INSPECT BRAKE SIGNAL
(a) Depress the accelerator pedal until the ECT terminal
indicates 8V.
(b) Depress the brake pedal and check the voltage read-
ing from the ECT terminal.
(c) Brake pedal depressed . . . . . . . . . . 0V
Brake pedal released . . . . . . . . . . . . 8V
If not as indicated, there is a malfunction in either the
stop light switch or circuit.
INSPECTION OF Tt TERMINAL VOLTAGE
1. INSPECT THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR SIGNAL
(a) Turn the ignition switch to ON. Do not start the engine.
(b) Connect a voltmeter to terminals Tt and E1.
(c) While slowly depressing the accelerator pedal,
check that ECT terminal voltage rises in sequence.
if the voltage does not change in proportion to the
throttle opening angle, there is a malfunction in the
throttle position sensor or circuit.

Mechanical System Tests
STALL TEST
The object of this test is to check the overall performance of the transaxle and engine by measur-
ing the stall speeds in the D and R ranges.
CAUTION:
wPerform the test at normal operation fluid temperature (122 ± 176°F or 50 ± 80°C).
wDo not continuously run this test longer than 5 seconds.
wTo ensure safety, conduct this test in a wide, clear, level area, which provides good traction.
wThe stall test should always be carried out in pairs. One should observe the conditions of wheels
or wheel stoppers outside the vehicle while the other is performing the test.
MEASURE STALL SPEED
(a) Chock the front and rear wheels.
(b) Connect a tachometer to the engine.
(c) Fully apply the parking brake.
(d) Step down strongly on the brake pedal with your left foot.
(e) Start the engine.
(f) Shift into the D range. Step all the way down on the accelerator pedal with your right foot. Quickly
read the stall speed at this time.
Stall speed: 2,200
+150 rpm
(g) Perform the same test in R range.
EVALUATION
(a) If the stall speed is the same for both ranges without the rear wheels rotating but lower than specified
value:
wEngine output may be insufficient
w Stator one±way clutch is not operating properly
(b) If the stall speed in D range is higher than specified:
wLine pressure too low
wForward clutch slipping
wNo. 2 one±way clutch not operating properly
wO/D one±way clutch not operating properly
(c) If the stall speed in R range is higher than specified:
wLine pressure too low
wDirect clutch slipping
wFirst and reverse brake slipping
wO/D one±way clutch not operating properly
(d) If the stall speed in both R and D ranges are higher than specified:
wLine pressure too low
wImproper fluid level
wO/D one±way clutch not operating properly

A140E)AT±38

TIME LAG TEST
When the shift lever is shifted while the engine is idling, there will be a certain time elapse or lag
before the shock can be felt. This is used for checking the condition of the O/D direct clutch, for-
ward clutch, direct clutch and first and reverse brake.
NOTICE:
wPerform the test at normal operating fluid temperature (122 ±176°F or 50 ± 80°C).
wBe sure to allow one minute interval between tests.
wMake three measurements and take the average value.
MEASURE TIME LAG
(a) Fully apply the parking brake.
(b) Start the engine and check the idle speed.
Idle speed (N range) : 700 rpm
(c) Shift the shift lever from N to D position. Using a stop watch, measure the time it takes from shifting
the lever until the shock is felt.
Time lag: Less than 1.2 seconds
(d) In the same manner, measure the time lag for N ± R.
Time lag: Less than 1.5 seconds
EVALUATION
(a) If N ± D time lag is longer than specified:
wLine pressure too low
wForward clutch worn
wO/D one±way clutch not operating properly
(b) If N ± R time lag is longer than specified:
wLine pressure too low
wDirect clutch worn
wFirst and reverse brake worn
wO/D one±way clutch not operating properly

HYDRAULIC TEST
PREPARATION
(a) Warm up the transaxle fluid.
(b) Remove the transaxle case test plug and connect the hydraulic pressure gauge.
SST 09992±00094 (Oil pressure gauge)
NOTICE:
wPerform the test at normal operating fluid temperature (122 ±176°F or 50 ± 80°C).
wThe line pressure test should always be carried out in pairs. One should observe the conditions
of wheels or wheel stoppers outside the vehicle while the other is performing the test.
MEASURE LINE PRESSURE
(a) Fully apply the parking brake and chock the four wheels.
(b) Start the engine and check idling rpm.
(e) Step down strongly on the brake pedal with your left foot and shift into D range.
(d) Measure the line pressure when the engine is idling.
(e) Press the accelerator pedal all the way down. Quickly read the highest line pressure when engine
speed reaches stall speed.
(f) In the same manner, perform the test in R range.
If the measured pressure are not up to specified values, recheck the throttle cable adjustment and
perform a retest.
