7C TROUBLESHOOTING
STEP 1 (PRELIMINARY INSPECTION)
In this step, the main points related to the automatic transaxle are checked. These items must be kept
in the correct condition at all times in order to assure proper operation of the automatic transaxle.
1. Automatic Transaxle Fluid (ATF)
Check ATF level and condition. (Refer to page 7C—25.)
2. Selector Lever
Check selector lever position and adjust it if necessary. (Refer to page 7C—26.)
76G07C-018
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 noted oil seals or
gaskets.
(5) If oil leaks, replace the seal or gasket.

1. Connect the SST to the line pressure output point
and the governor pressure output point in the trans-
axle case, and place the gauges inside the vehicle.
2. Disconnect the hose to the vacuum diaphragm,
and plug it.
3. Connect a vacuum pump to the vacuum di-
aphragm, and place the pump inside the vehicle.
4. Gradually accelerate the vehicle in D range.
5. Read the governor pressure at the point where the
line pressure suddenly drops.
6. Apply 200 mmHg (7.87 inHg) vacuum, and re-
peat steps 4 and 5.

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.
