Manual Shifting Test (A140E)
HINT: With this test, it can be determined whether the
trouble lies within the electrical circuit or is a mechani-
cal problem in the transaxle.
1. DISCONNECT ECT ECU CONNECTOR
(a) Remove the glove box.
(b) With the engine OFF, disconnect the ECT connector.
HINT: If the L, 2 and D range gear positions are difficult
to distinguish, perform the following road test.
wWhite driving, shift through the L, 2 and D ranges.
Check that the gear change corresponds to the shift
position.
3. CONNECT ECT ECU CONNECTOR2. INSPECT MANUAL DRIVING OPERATION
Check that the shift and gear positions correspond with
the table below.

TROUBLESHOOTING (A540E, A540H)
Basic Troubleshooting
Before troubleshooting an ECT, first determine whether the problem is electrical or mechanical.
To do this, just refer to the basic troubleshooting flow±chart provided below.
If the cause is already known, using the basic troubleshooting chart below along with the general
troubleshooting chart on the following pages should speed the procedure.

Diagnosis System
DESCRIPTION
1. A self±diagnosis function is. built into the electrical control
system. Warning is indicated by the overdrive OFF indicator.
HINT: Warning and diagnostic codes can be read only when
the overdrive switch is ON. If OFF, the overdrive OFF
indicator is lit continuously and will not blink.
(a) If a malfunction occurs within the speed sensors or sole-
noids, the overdrive OFF light will blink to warn the driver.
However, there will be no warning of a malfunction with
lock±up solenoid.
W The diagnostic code can be read by the number of
blinks of the overdrive OFF indicator when terminals
Tt and E1 are short±circuited. (See page AT± 191)
(c) The throttle position sensor or brake signal are not indicated,
but inspection can be made by checking the voltage at ter-
minal Tt of the check connector.
(d) The signals to each gear can be checked by measuring the
voltage at terminal Tt of the check connector while driving.
2. The diagnostic (malfunction) code is retained in memory by the
ECU and due to back±up voltage, is not canceled out when the
engine is turned off. Consequently, after repair, it is necessary
to turn the ignition switch off and remove the fuse EFI (15A)
(A540E) or DOME (20A)
(A540H) or disconnect the Engine and ECT ECU (A540E)
or ECT ECU (A540H) connector to cancel out the diagnostic
(malfunction) code. (See page AT±192)
HINT:
wLow battery voltage will cause faulty operation of the diag-
nosis system. Therefore, always check the battery first.
wUse a voltmeter and ohmmeter that have an impedance of
at least 10 k
/V.
CHECK O/D OFF INDICATOR LIGHT
1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
2. The O/D OFF light will come on when the O/D switch
placed at OFF.
3. When the O/D switch is set to ON, the O/D OFF light should go
out.
If the O/D OFF light flashes when the O/D switch is set to
ON, the electronic control system is faulty.

HINT: If codes 62, 63, 64, 73 or 74 appear, there is an electrical malfunction in the solenoid.
Causes due t mechanical failure, such as a stuck valve, will not appear.
If codes 44 and 61 appear, check the both (vehicle and rear wheel) speed sensors.

Manual Shifting Test
HINT: With this test, it can be determined whether the
trouble lies within the electrical circuit or is a mechani-
cal problem in the transaxle.
1. DISCONNECT SOLENOID WIRE
2. INSPECT MANUAL DRIVING OPERATION
Check that the shift and gear positions correspond
with the table below.
HINT: If the L, 2 and D range gear positions are diffi-
cult to distinguish, perform the following road test.
wWhile driving, shift through the L, 2 and D ranges,
Check that the gear change corresponds to the
shift position.
If any abnormality is found in the above test, the
problem lies in transaxle itself.
