STEP 1 (PRELIMINARY INSPECTION)
In this step, the fundamental points related to the automatic transaxle are checked. These points must
be kept in the correct condition at all times in order to assure proper operation of the automatic transaxle.

76G07B-044
3. Oil Leakage
Check for oil leakage.
(1) Warm up the ATF.
(2) Apply the parking brake and block the wheels
to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
(3) Shift the selector lever to R range.
(4) Check if oil leaks from the following oil seals
or gaskets.
(5) If oil leaks, replace the oil seal or gasket.

STEP 2 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM INSPECTION)
In this step, the function of the electrical control system (Inhibition of OD and lock-up) is checked. The
electrical control system components should be checked to determine if it functions correctly.
76G07B-048
O/D OFF Switch Inhibition Function
1. Warm up the engine and ATF.
2. Check that the D range, OD, and lock-up is
provided.
3. When driving the vehicle with D range, OD, and
lock-up selected, depress the O/D OFF switch and
check that OD and lock-up is cancelled.
4. If not cancelled, check the O/D OFF switch.
5. Release the O/D OFF switch after completion.
Cruise Control Switch Inhibition Function
1. Drive the vehicle in D range, OD, and lock-up
selected again.
2. Depress the Set switch of the cruise control and
check that OD and lock-up is cancelled.
3. If not cancelled, check the cruise control system.
4. Again drive the vehicle in D range, OD, and
lock-up.
5. Turn the Resume switch of the cruise control and
check that OD and lock-up is cancelled.
6. If not cancelled, check the cruise control system.

76G07B-052
Water Temperature Switch Inhibition Function
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Disconnect the water temperature switch con-
nector.
3. Drive the vehicle in D range selected.
4. Check that OD and lock-up does not operate.
5. If not cancelled, check the wiring harness of the
water temperature switch.
6. Stop the vehicle and reconnect the water temper-
ature switch connector.
Kick-down Switch Inhibition Function
1. Connect the terminals of the kick-down switch con-
nector with a jumper wire.
2. Drive the vehicle in D range selected.
3. Check that the OD and lock-up do not achieve.
4. If not correct, check wiring harness of kick-down
switch.
5. Stop the vehicle and reconnect the connector to
the switch.

STEP 5 (ROAD TEST)
This step is performed to inspect for problems at the various ranges.
If
these tests show any problems,
adjust or replace by referring to the mechanical sections.
Perform the test at normal ATF operating temperature (50—80°C, 122—176°F).
D Range Test
Shift point, shift pattern, and shift shock
1. Shift the selector lever to D range and depress the OD OFF switch.
2. Accelerate the vehicle with half (4/8) and full (8/8) throttle valve opening.
3. Check that 1-2, 2-3 and 3-OD up-shifts and downshifts and lock-up are obtained. The shift points
must be as shown in the D range shift diagram.
Note
a) Vehicle speed on a chassis roller may not meet the specified shift diagram because of
tire size.
b) There is no lock-up or OD when the coolant temperature is below 72°C (162°F), and when
the OD OFF switch is depressed.
4. Check the up and down shifts for shift shock or slippage.
5. While driving in 3rd (50—60 km/h, 31—37 mph) shift the selector lever to 2 range and check that
3-2 downshift immediately occurs, then decelerate and check that engine braking effect is felt in
2nd gear.

Noise and vibration
Drive the vehicle in OD (lock-up), OD (no lock-up), 3rd and check for abnormal noise or vibration.
Note
Abnormal noise and vibration can also be caused by the torque converter, drive shaft, or
differential. Therefore, checking of cause must be made with extreme care.
Kick-down
Drive the vehicle in OD, 3rd and 2nd gears and check that kick-down occurs for OD-*3, OD->2, 3-*2,
3->1, 2-> 1, and the shift points are as shown in the shift diagram.
2 Range Test
Shift pattern
1. Shift the selector lever to 2 range.
2. Accelerate the vehicle in 2 range and check that 2nd gear is held.
Noise and vibration
Drive the vehicle in 2nd gear and check for abnormal noise or vibration.
Note
Abnormal noise and vibration can also be caused by the torque converter, drive shaft or
differential. Therefore, checking of cause must be made with extreme care.

1 Range Test
Shift pattern
1. Shift the selector lever to 1 range.
2. Accelerate the vehicle with half (4/8) and full (8/8) throttle valve opening.
3. Check that the 1-2 up- and down-shifts are obtained and that no 3rd gear, no OD, and no lock-up
are obtained. The shift points must be as shown in the 1 range shift diagram.
Note
Vehicle speed on a chassis roller may not meet the specified shift diagram because of tire
size.
4. Check the up and down-shifts for shift shock or slippage.
5. Drive in 1st gear then decelerate and check that engine braking effect is felt.

differential. Therefore, checking of cause must be made with extreme care.
P Range Test
1. Shift into P range on a gentle slope, release the brake and check that the vehicle does not roll.
2. Shift into P range while driving the vehicle at maximum of 4 km/h (2.5 mph) on a level surface,
and check that the vehicle stops.
