3. INSPECT EACH UP±SHIFT POSITION
(a) Warm up the engine.
Coolant temperature: 176
°F (80°)
(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 volt-
age at the Tt 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 cor-
responding gears.
HINT: Determine the gear position by a fight 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 accelerator 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 Tt terminal indi-
cates 8V.
(b) Depress the brake pedal and check the voltage read-
ing from the Tt terminal.
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 ECT OR 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 Tt 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.

3. (A540E)
INSPECT SOLENOID VALVES
(a) Disconnect the connector from Engine and ECT ECU
(b) Measure the resistance between S1, S2, SL and
body ground.
Resistance: 11 ± 15


(e) Apply battery voltage to each terminal.
Check that an operation noise can be heard from
the solenoid.

INSTALLATION OF THROTTLE CABLE
1. INSTALL CABLE INTO TRANSMISSION CASE
2. INSTALL VALVE BODY
3. IF THROTTLE CABLE IS NEW, STAKE STOPPER OR
PAINT MARK ON INNER CABLE
HINT: New cable do not have a cable stopper staked.
(a) Bend the cable so there is a radius of about 200 mm(7.87 in.).
(b) Pull the inner cable lightly until a slight resistance is felt, and hold
it.
(e) Stake the stopper, 0.8 ± 1.5 mm (0.031 ± 0.059 in.)
from the end of outer cable.
4. CONNECT THROTTLE CABLE TO ENGINE
5. ADJUST THROTTLE CABLE (See page AT±201)
6. INSTALL AND ADJUST NEUTRAL START SWITCH
7. TEST DRIVE VEHICLE

REMOVAL OF THROTTLE CABLE
1. DISCONNECT THROTTLE CABLE FROM ENGINE
2. REMOVE NEUTRAL START SWITCH
3. REMOVE VALVE BODY
4. REMOVE THROTTLE CABLE
