AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE - Troubleshootincl23-19Based upon use of the troubleshooting
Checks should be made of fluid levels and
the condition of the ATF, as well as the
condition of the manual control cables;
adjustments should then be made if found
to be necessary.
If a presumption has been made that there
is an abnormal condition somewhere in
the electronic-control system, check the
fault code, in order to determine the
probable location of the problem, by using
a multi-use tester or voltmeter.
I
When the abnormal system is discovered,
check each element (sensors, etc.) one by
one, and make repairs as necessary.
IWhen the abnormal condition is presumed
to be in the oil-pressure-control system
When the result of the oil-pressure test
does not satisfy the specified pressure,
check each system at places related to the
valve body, check the oil-pressure pas-
sages for leakage, etc.
I
If the problem isunusually dirty ATF,
abnormal noises, oil leakage, or slippage of
the clutch or brakes, or an abnormal
condition of the transaxle itself, disassem-
ble and repair the transaxle.
TROUBLESHOOTINGM23EEAYFunctional malfunctions of the ELC4A/T can lead to other
problems, such as those described below:(I
) 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 question
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.

DIAGNOSIS AND TEST
FLUID LEVEL AND CONDITION
1.Drive until the fluid temperature reaches the usual tempera-
ture
[70 - 80°C (160 - 18O”F)].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 to
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.
dIn 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 CABLEWhether control cable is properly adjusted can be confirmed by
checking whether inhibitor switch is performing 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
“N”, “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.

SHIFT PATTERNSTwo shift patterns are pre-stored in the control unit of this
transaxle. One is the power pattern (for more powerful
performance), and the other is the economy pattern (for
improved fuel consumption and quieter operation).
The driver can select and switch to the desired pattern by using
the power/economy select switch on the center
Iconsole.The solid lines shown in these shift patterns indicate up-shifts,
and the broken lines indicate down-shifts. The reason why
there is a difference between the shift points for upshifts and
for down-shifts is so that up-shifts and down-shifts will not
occur frequently when driving at a speed in the vicinity of the
shift point.
When the vehicle is stopped, there is a shift to 2nd gear in
order to obtain a suitable “creeping”, but when the accelerator
pedal is then depressed the vehicle starts off in 1st gear.

OIL PRESSURE TESTS1. Completely warm up the transaxle.
2.Raise the vehicle by using a jack so that the front wheels
can be rotated.
3. Connect an engine tachometer and place it in a position
where it’s easy to see.
4. Attach the special oil-pressure gauge (MD998330-01) and
the adaptor (MD998332-01) to each oil-pressure outlet port.
When the reverse pressure is to be tested, the 3,000
kPa(400 psi) type of gauge should be used.
5. Measure the oil pressure under various conditions, and
check to be sure that the measured results are within the
standard value range shown in the “Standard oil pressure
table” below.
If the oil pressure is not within the specified range, check
and repair as described in the section “Remedial steps if oil
pressure is not normal” on the next page.
