- Troubleshooting
Based upon use of the troubleshooting
guide, the probable location of the prob-
lem should be estimated.
Checks should be made of fluid levels
and the condition of the ATF, as well as
1 found to be necessary
.
the condition of the manual control ca-
bles; adjustments should then be made if
If a presumption has been made that
there is an abnormal condition some-
where in the electronic-control system,
check the fault code, in order to determine
the probable location of the problem, by using a scan tool or voltmeter.
When the abnormal system is discovered,
check each element (sensors, etc.) one by
one, and make repairs as necessary.
When the abnormal condition is pre- sumed to be in the oil-pressure-control
When the result of the oil-pressure test does not satisfy the specified pressure,
1 passages for leakage, etc
.
check each system at places related to
the valve body, check the oil-pressure
If the problem is unusually dirty ATF,
abnormal noises, oil leakage, or slippage

condition of the transaxle Itself,

TROUBLESHOOTING
Functional malfunctions of the ELGWT can lead to other
problems,
such
as those described
below:
(1) Improper
maintenance
and/or
adjustments
(2) Malfunctions of the electronic control functions
(3) Malfunctions of mechanical functions
(4) Malfunctions of hydraulic control functions
(5) Malfunctions of engine performance
etc.
In order

to properly
determine (“Troubleshoot”)
the
source
of
these
malfunctions,
it is first essential
to methodically ques-
tion
the
user
concerning

the details
of the problem,
such as
the

condition of
the
problem,
the
situation at
the
time the
problem
occurred,

and any other relevant
information, all in as much detail

as possible.
The user
should
also be asked
whether or not the problem has occurred more than once,
and under
what conditions. Subsequently,
certain

tests should
be conducted in a certain
order,
as described
at
the
left.

DATA LINK AND TEST
FLUID LEVEL AND CONDITION
1. Drive until the
fluid
temperature
reaches the
usual tem-
perature
[70-80°C (160- 18O”F)l.
2. Place
vehicle
on level floor.
3. Move
selector
lever sequentially
to
every
position
to fill
torque
converter

and hydraulic circuit
with fluid,
then
place
lever in “N” Neutral position.
This operation is necessary
t0
be sure that fluid
level check is accurate.
4. Before
removing
dipstick,
wipe all dirt from area around
dipstick.

Then take out
the
dipstick
and check the
condition
of the
fluid.
The
transaxle
should be overhauled under the following
conditions.
l If there

is a “burning” odor.
l If the
fluid
color
has become
noticeably
blacker.
lIf there
is a noticeably
great
amount
of metal particles in
the
fluid.
5.Check to
see if fluid
level is in “HOT” range on dipstick.
If
fluid
level is low, add automatic
transaxle
fluid
until level
reaches “HOT” range.
Low
fluid
level can cause a variety of
conditions
because it
allows
pump
to
take
in air along with fluid. Air trapped in
hydraulic circuit
forms
bubbles
which
make fluid
spongy.
Therefore,
pressures
will be erratic. Improper filling

can also raise fluid level too
high. When
transaxle

has too
much fluid,
gears churn up foam and
cause same
conditions
which occur with low fluid
level, resulting

in accelerated deterioration
of
automatic
transaxle
fluid.
In
either
case, air bubbles
can cause overheating,
fluid
oxidation,

which can interfere
with normal valve, clutch,
and
servo
operation.
Foaming can also result
in fluid
escaping
from
transaxle
vent where it
may be mistaken
for
a leak.
6. Be
sure to
examine
fluid
on dipstick
closely.
CONTROL CABLE
Whether control
cable is properly
adjusted
can be confirmed
by
checking

whether park/neutral
position
switch is perform-
ing
well.
1.
Apply
parking brakes and service
brakes securely.
2. Place
selector
lever
to
“R” range.
3. Set ignition
key to
“ST” position.
4.
Slowly
move
the
selector
lever
upward
until it
clicks as it
fits in
notch of “P” range. If starter
motor
operates
when
lever makes a click, “P”
position
is correct.
5.Then slowly
move
selector
lever to “N” range by
the
same
procedure as in foregoing
paragraph. If starter
motor
operates

when selector
lever
fits in ‘IN”, “N” position
is correct.
6.
Also check to be sure the
vehicle
doesn’t
begin to move
and
the
lever
doesn’t
stop
between
P-R-N-D.
7. The control
cable is properly
adjusted if, as described
above,the
starter
motor
starts
at both the

“P” range and the

“N” range.
