7C TROUBLESHOOTING
STEP 2 (STALL TEST)
This step is performed to determine if there is slippage of the friction elements or malfunction of the
hydraulic components.
Preparation
Check the following items prior to testing:
1. Engine coolant, engine oil and ATF levels.
2. Warm the engine thoroughly to raise the ATF temperature to operating level (50—80°C, 122—176°F).
3. Set the parking brake and block the front and rear of the wheels.
Pull the parking brake Water temperature
ATF
7C—14

TROUBLESHOOTING 7C
Procedure
76G07C-025
1. Connect a tachometer to the engine.
2. Shift the selector lever to D range.
3. Depress the brake pedal firmly with the left foot, and gradually depress the accelerator pedal with
the right foot.
4. Read and note the engine speed as soon as it becomes constant; then release the accelerator pedal.
Caution
Steps 3 to 4 must be done within 5 seconds.
5. Shift the selector to N range and let the engine idle for one minute or more.
Note The idling cools the ATF and prevents oil degeneration.
6. Perform stall tests for the following ranges in the same manner.
(1) 2 range
(2) 1 range
(3) R range
Standard stall speed:
FE engine 2050—2150 rpm
F6 engine 1800—2050 rpm
Caution
Always provide adequate cooling time between individual range stall tests.

7C TROUBLESHOOTING
Evaluation
Condition Possible cause
Worn oil pump
In all ranges Insufficient line
pressure
Oil leakage from oil pump, control
valve, and/or transaxle case
Stuck pressure regulator valve
In D, 2, and 1 Rear clutch slipping
Above specification In D range only One-way clutch slipping
In 2 range only Brake band slipping
Low and reverse brake slipping
Brake band slipping
In R range only Road test to determine if cause is low and reverse brake or reverse clutch:
a) Engine braking in 1 range Front clutch b) No engine braking in 1 range .... Low and reverse brake
Within specification All shift control elements within transaxle functioning normally
Below specification Engine out of tune Below specification
One-way clutch slipping within torque converter

7C TROUBLESHOOTING
STEP 5 (OIL PRESSURE TEST)
This step determines line pressure, and governor pressure to check the hydraulic components and
for oil leakage.
Line Pressure Test
Preparation
1. Connect the SST to the line pressure output point.
2. Connect a tachometer to the engine.
3. Follow the test preparation procedure show in STEP 2 (STALL TEST).
Procedure
76G07C-030
1. Start the engine and verify that the idle speed is 950-5° rpm.
2. Shift the selector lever to D range.
3. Read the line pressure at idle.
4. Depress the brake pedal firmly with the left foot, and gradually depress the accelerator pedal with
the right foot.
5. Read the line pressure as soon as the engine speed becomes constant; then release the accelera-
tor pedal.
Caution
Steps 4 to 5 must be done within 5 seconds.
5. Shift the selector lever to N range and let the engine idle for one minute or more.
6. Read the line pressure at idle and engine stall speeds for each range in the same manner.

Inspection of Level
1. Apply the parking brake and block the wheels to
prevent the vehicle from rolling.
Note
Place the car on a flat, level surface.
2. Run the engine so that the automatic transaxle fluid
reaches operating temperature.
3. While the engine is idling, shift the select lever from
P to 1 and back again.
4. Let the engine idle.
5.Shift the select lever to P.

ON-VEHICLE MAINTENANCE 7C
9. Install the under cover and side cover.
10. Lower the vehicle.
11. Add ATF, and with the engine idling, check the fluid
level.
12. Verify that there is no fluid leakage from the trans-
axle. (Refer to page 7C—25.)
76G07C-052
REPLACEMENT OF SERVO PISTON RETURN
SPRING
1. Remove the control valve body. (Refer to replace-
ment of control valve.)
2. Loosen the anchor end-bolt and locknut.
3. Remove the band strut.
4. Compress the servo piston retainer with the SST.
5. Remove the snap ring with a screwdriver.
76G07C-053
76G07C-054
6. Remove the servo retainer, piston and spring by
gradually loosening the SST.
7. Replace the return spring. If the O-ring or the piston
seal is damaged, replace them.
8. Assemble the servo retainer, piston, and spring,
insert them into the case with the SST. Fit the snap
ring into the ring groove.
9. Install the band strut.
10. Tighten the anchor-end bolt to 12—15 N-m
(120—150 cm-kg, 104—130 in-lb), then back it
off two full turns. Tighten the locknut to 55—80
N m (5.6—8.2 m-kg, 41—59 ft-lb).
11. Install the control valve body, oil pan, etc. in the
reverse order of removal.
12. Adjust the fluid level, and check for fluid leaks.
(Refer to page 7C—25.)
