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.
76G07C-019
7C-12

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

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.
76G07C-042

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.
