TROUBLESHOOTING (G4A-HL)
GENERAL NOTE
In the event of a problem with the automatic transaxle, the cause may be in the engine, power train,
hydraulic control system, or electrical control system.
When troubleshooting, therefore, it is recommended to begin from those points that can be judged
quickly and easily. The recommended troubleshooting sequence is described below.
STEP 4: TIME LAG TEST
Check time lag of oil pressure supply
STEP 6: OIL PRESSURE TEST Check line, throttle, and governor pressures
This step checks conditions surrounding the automatic
transaxle.
This step checks the electrical control system.
• Function of the electrical control system
• Components
This step checks the power train. • Friction element slipping • Torque converter capacity
This step checks operation of the hydraulic control system. • Accumulators • Friction elements slipping • Regulating valves
This step checks functions of the electric control system and
hydraulic control system.
This step checks major points of the hydraulic control system.
• Oil pump • Line pressure control • Throttle pressure control
• Governer pressure control
STEP 5: ROAD TEST Check items on road test
• Shift point • Shift schedule
• Kick-down • Shift shock • Lock-up and overdrive inhibition
By following the above 6 steps, the cause of the problem should be located.
As another guide to faster location of the causes of problems, the Quick Diagnosis Chart is included
at pages 7B—42, 43.
In this chart, a circle is used to indicate the components that might be the cause of trouble for 20
types of problems. It is only necessary to check those components indicated by circles, at each step
of the troubleshooting process, in order to quickly locate the cause of the problem.

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.

Line Pressure Test
Preparation
1. Connect the SST to the line pressure output point
(square head plug L).
2. Connect a tachometer to the engine.
3. Perform the preparation procedure shown in STEP
3 (STALL TEST).
STEP 6 (OIL PRESSURE TEST)
This step checks line, throttle, and governor pressures to check the operation of hydraulic compo-
nents and for oil leakage.
83U07B-047
Procedure
76G07B-062
1. Start the engine and check that the idle speed is 900 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 performed within 5 seconds.
5. Shift the selector lever to N range and run the engine at idle for at least one minute.
6. Read the line pressure at idle and engine stall speeds for each range in the same manner.

(1) Set the clutch assembly onto the oil pump.
(2) Check the clutch operation by applying com-
pressed air through the fluid passages as
shown.
Applied air pressure:
392 kPa (4.0 kg/cm2, 57 psi)

(3) Pour in ATF so that the reverse piston, coast-
ing clutch drum, and coasting clutch piston are
fully submerged.

(4) Check that no bubbles come from between the
piston and drum seal when applying com-
pressed air through the fluid passages as
shown.
Caution
The compressed air must be under 392 kPa
(4.0 kg/cm2, 57 psi), and should not applied
for over 3 seconds.
