Quick Diagnosis Chart
The Quick Diagnosis Chart shows various problems and the relationship of various components that
might be the cause of the problem.
The following is an explanation of the symbols used in this chart.
1. Components indicated in the "Adjustment" column indicate that there is a possibility that the prob-
lem may be the result of an incorrect adjustment.
Check the adjustment of each component, and readjust if necessary.
2. The components indicated in the "Electrical System Inspection" column can be checked for mal-
function by the results of the checking procedure.
3. Components indicated in the "Stall Test" column can be checked for malfunction by the results
of the stall test.
4. Components indicated in the "Time Lag Test" column can be checked for malfunction by the results
of the time lag test.
5. Components indicated in the "Road Test" column can be checked for malfunction by the results
of the road test.
6. Components indicated in the "Oil Pressure Test" column can be checked for malfunction by the
results of the oil pressure test.
7. The checking, adjusting, repair or replacement procedures for each component is described in the
page(s) noted in the "Reference Page" column.

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.
83U07B-025
1. Automatic Transaxle Fluid (ATF)
Check ATF level and condition. (Refer to page
7B-71)

2. Selector Lever
Check selector lever position and adjust if neces-
sary. (Refer to page 7B—72)
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 3 (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. Engage the parking brake and use wheel chocks at the front and rear wheels.
Pull the parking brake Water temperature

Procedure
76G07B-054
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 performed within 5 seconds.
5. Shift the selector to N range and run the engine at idle speed for at least one minutes.
Note This one minute idle period is performed to cool the ATF and prevent oil degradation.
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 F8 engine
D.S.L range 2430—2530 rpm D.S.L range 2180—2280 rpm
R range 2390—2490 rpm R range 2140—2240 rpm
Caution
Always provide adequate cooling time between individual range stall tests.
