AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE - Transaxle ControlSELF-DIAGNOStS SYSTEM
The transaxle control unit has self-diagnosis function.
Self-diagnosis codes can be read by connecting a voltmeter to the
diagnosis connector on the side of the junction block.
0: Ground
6%: ELC-MIT
Self-diagnosisThere are 25 diagnosis items, including those items
indicating normal conditions; a maximum of
10items can be stored in memory in the order that
they occur. The memory is supported by a power
supply directly connected to the battery so that it isretained even after the Ignition switch is turned to
the off position.
To clear the memory once an inspection has been
completed. keep negative

battery disconnected for

The transaxle control unit activates the shift control

“B”.Activation of the shift control solenoid valve “A”
releases-the pressure at the No.5a ports, which in
turn releases the pressure acting on the plugs at the
right and left of the shift control valve.Deactivation of the shift control solenoid valve
“B”results in rightward movement of both the
shiftcontrol valve and the right plug by line
pressureapplied through the No.5b port until the valve
isblocked by the stopper. This rightward movemeni
of the shift control valve opens the No.8 port ant
the line pressure is directed to the rear clutcr
exhaust valve.
This pressure is called
“4th pressure”.

175011~LlUpshift from
2nd to 3rd Gear\(1) When the shift control valve comes into
3rd gear position
and the
3rd pressure is established, the pressure is
directed to the No.7 port of the end clutch valve through
the No.7 line. In this instance, the
3rd pressure is blocked
ahead by the end clutch valve and the check ball.
(2) If a shift to the
3rd gear is initiated, the pressrue begins to
be directed from the
2-3/4-3 shift valve to the front clutch
and the release side chamber of kickdown servo cylinder.
The same pressure also is directed to the chamber at the
right end of the end clutch valve through the No. 12 line.
During the shift to the
3rd gear, the pressure in the No. 12
line is regulated by the pressure control valve to a level
lower than the line pressure so that the No. 12 line pressureis not high enough to force the end clutch valve toward the
left.(3) Once the front clutch has been engaged and the kickdown
brake released, the No. 12 line pressure is raised to a level .
equivalent to the line pressure.
This means that the pressures at both ends of the end
j
clutch valve (or No. 6 line pressure and No. 12 line pressure)[are at the same level. However, as the area of the
#3 land
to which pressure is applied is larger than that of the
# 1
land of the end clutch valve, the valve is pushed to left, thusopening the No.
18 port. This allows the 3rd pressure (line
pressure) already established in the No. 7 line to be directedto the end clutch through
the..No.7 port. The end clutch is
now engaged.
Downshift from
3rd to 2nd Gear
(1) Both front clutch pressure and kickdown servo release
pressure are released, and therefore, the pressure in
theend clutch valve right end chamber is also released.
--
(2) This results in a rightward movement of the end clutclvalve by the
2nd pressure working on its left end, closingthe
No.7 port and releasing the end clutch pressurethrough the No.8 port. Now the end clutch is released,

Ri... 4sThe central door-lock system, by which all doors can
be locked or unlocked (from the inside by using the
inside door lock knob at either front door, or from
the outside by using the door key), not only sewes
to reduce the trouble of individually locking orunlocking each door when passengers get out or
get in, but also maintains passenger safety.
For the central door-lock system, the operation of
the lock actuator is regulated by the door control
unit.

When the doors are locked (by using the inside lock
knobs or the door key), the door lock switch
(incorporated within the door lock actuator) is
switched OFF, and then, because current flows to
the fuse, as well as to the door-control unit and the
lock timer, the lock timer causes base current to
flow to
TrI for 0.5 second, thus switching ON Tr,. As
a result, current flows to the fuse, as well as to the
“lock” side coil of the door lock relay,
Tr,, and to
ground, thus switching ON the “lock” side contacts
of the door lock relay and activating the door lock
actuators, thereby locking the doors.
When the doors are unlocked (by using the inside

(incorporated within the door lock actuator) is

SEAT BELTSRZ3SBAS
On Federal and California vehicles automatic seat belts (Manualseat belts on vehicles for Canada) are installed on the front
seats and the
3-point seat belts with ELR on the rear seat, both
contributing to the enhanced safety and ease of use.
AUTOMATIC SEAT BELTS
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Automatic Seat Belts are designed to automatically fasten
themselves around the driver and front passenger as they get
into the vehicle and close the front door, thereby,
by a
combination of the lap belt, the knee protector, the corner pad
and the glove box pad (at the lower part of the instrument
panel), protecting them from second collisions during a
front-end crash or similar accident.
The lap belt for the driver’s seat is provided with the ELR
(ELR:Emergency Locking Retractor), and that for the front passen-
ger’s seat with the
ELR-ALR” to support the Child Restraint
System incorporated into the seat. (“ALR: Automatic Locking
Retractor) The buckle tilts toward front and inside helping the
belts be tight around the body.
The
tongue plate on the driver’s seat is provided with
energy-absorbing structure.
The automatic seat belts consist of a driving-device assembly,
shoulder belt, manual lap belt, knee protector, and other
components.
The driving-device assembly is composed of the slide anchor,
the release switch, the guide rail, the “fasten” switch, the
automatic seat belt motor relay, and the driving device.
There is an emergency-release button on the slide anchor; this
button can be used to release the shoulder belt in the event of
an emergency resulting from an accident, etc.
