(f) Check the fluid level at the normal operating temperature70±80
C (158±176
F) and add as necessary.
NOTICE: Do not overfill.
4. CHECK FLUID LEAKS
Check for leaks in the transmission.
If there are leaks, it is necessary to repair or replace O±rings,
seal packings, oil seals, plugs or other parts.
5. INSPECT AND ADJUST THROTTLE CABLE
(a) Remove the 2 bolts, nut and throttle body cover.
(b) Check that the throttle valve is fully closed.
(c) Check that the inner cable is not slack.
(d) Measure the distance between the outer cable end and stopper on the cable.
Standard distance:
0±1 mm (0±0.04 in.)
If the distance is not standard, adjust the cable by the adjust-
ing nuts.
(e) Install the throttle body cover, and two bolts and nut.
6. INSPECT AND ADJUST SHIFT LEVER POSITION When shifting the shift lever from the N position to other posi-
tions, check that the lever can be shifted smoothly and accu-
rately to each position and that the position indicator correctly
indicates the position.
If the indicator is not aligned with the correct position, carry
out the following adjustment procedures:
(a) Loosen the nut on the control shaft lever.
(b) Push the control shaft lever fully rearward.
(c) Return the control shaft lever 2 notches to N position.
(d) Set the shift lever to N position.
(e) While holding the shift lever lightly toward the R position side,
tighten the shift lever nut.
(f) Start the engine and make sure that the vehicle moves forward when shifting the lever from the N to D position and
reverses when shifting it to the R position.

*1: ªOº mark means ªO/D OFFº light blinks once every 2 seconds.\
ªXº mark means ªO/D OFFº light never
blinks.
*2: ªOº mark means the ECM memorizes the malfunction code if the ECM detects the diag. trouble \
code
detection condition.
*3: This indicates items for which ª2 trip detection logicº is use\
d. With this logic, when a logic malfunction
is first detected, the malfunction is temporarily stored in the ECM memory. If the same case is detected
again during the second drive test, this second detection causes the O/F\
OFF Light to blink.
The 2 trip repeats the same mode twice. (However, the IG switch must be turned OFF between the 1st trip
and 2nd trip.)
HINT:

If the malfunction returns to normal while a malfunction warning is being \
output, the O/D OFF indicator
light stops blinking and goes off.
However, the malfunction code is retained in memory until it is cleared from me\
mory.

If the diagnosis system outputs a malfunction code even though the O/D OFF indicator was not
blinking, there is intermittent trouble. Check all the connections in the circuit\
s corresponding to that
code.

If the vehicle speed sensors No.1 and No.2 happen to fail simultaneously\
, the ECM will neither alert
the driver by blinking the O/D OFF indicator nor record any diagnostic t\
rouble code. It will, however,
decide that the vehicle can be driven only in 1st and none of the other gears, shifting \
upwards will then
be prohibited.

Codes 46, 62, 63 and 64 are limited to short or open circuits in the electric\
al system comprised of the
solenoids, wire harnesses and connectors. The ECM is unable to detect mechanical t\
rouble (sticking,
for example) in the solenoid valves.

DTC46No. 4 Solenoid Valve Circuit (For Accumula-
tor Back Pressure Modulation)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The No. 4 solenoid valve controls the hydraulic pressure acting on the
brakes and clutches of the planetary gear units when gears are shifted and
performs smooth gear shifting.
The ECM determines optimum operating pressure according to the signals
from the throttle position sensor, vehicle speed sensor and O/D clutch
speed sensor and controls the volume of current flow to the solenoid valve.
The amount of electric current to the solenoid is controlled by the (*) \
duty
ratio of ECM out put signals, causing momentary change to the hydraulic
pressure acting on the clutches during gear shifting.
When the duty ratio is high, the hydraulic pressure acting on the clutch\
es
is low.
(*) Duty Ratio
The duty ration is the ration of the period of continuity in one cycle. For\
example, if A is the period of continuity
in one cycle, and B is the period of non±continuity, then

DTC62, 63No. 1, No. 2 Solenoid Valve Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Shifting from 1st to O/D is performed in combination with ON and OFF of the No. \
1 and No. 2 solenoid valves
controlled by ECM. If an open or short circuit occurs in either of the solenoid valves\
, the ECM controls the remain-
ing normal solenoid to allow the vehicle to be operated smoothly (Fail saf\
e function.
Fail Safe Function
If either of the solenoid valve circuits develops a short or an open, th\
e ECM turns the other solenoid ON and
OFF to shift to the gear positions shown in the table below. The ECM also turns the lock±up solenoid valve OFF
at the same time. If both solenoids malfunction, Hydraulic control cannot \
be performed electronically and must
be done manually.
Manual shifting as shown in the following table must be done. (In the case of \
a short circuit, the ECM stops send-
ing current to the short circuited solenoid).

DTC64No. 3 Solenoid Valve Circuit
(For Lock±up Control Pressure Modulation)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The No. 3 solenoid valve is provided for lock±up operations.
The lock±up operation pressure is controlled by the linear sole-
noid for smooth engagement.
The amount of current flow to the solenoid is controlled by the
duty ratio (See page AT±82) of ECM output signal. The higher
the duty ration becomes, the higher the lock±up hydraulic pres-
sure becomes during the lock±up operation. If the malfunction
occurs in this circuit and diagnostic trouble code 64 is stored in
memory, the O/D OFF indicator light does not blink.
