ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS1. When installing any of the vehicle parts, be careful not to
pinch or damage any of the wiring harnesses.
2. Sensors, relays, etc.,are sensitive to strong impacts.
Handle them with care so that they are not dropped or
mishandled.
,**3. The electronic parts used for relays, etc., are sensitive to
heat. If any service which causes a temperature of
80°C
(176°F) or more is performed, remove the part or parts in
question before carrying out the service.
FUSES AND FUSIBLE LINKS
1.If a blown-out fuse is to be replaced, be sure to use only a
fuse of the specified capacity. If a fuse of a capacity larger
than that specified is used, parts may be damaged and thecircuit may not be protected adequately.
Caution
1.If a fuse is blown-out, be sure to eliminate the causeof the problem before installing a new fuse.
;i2.Check the condition of fuse holders. If rust or dirt isfound, clean metal parts with a fine-grained sand-
paper until proper metal-to-metal contact is
made.Poor contact of any fuse holder will
often lead tovoltage drop or heating in the circuit
and colildresult in improper circuit operation.
LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE - Maintenance ServiceO:lllO.AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE (Inspect fluid

temperature
[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
circuitwith 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 arounddipstick. 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.
l If 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 ATF 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. Airtrapped in hydraulic circuit forms bubbles which make
fluid spongy. Therefore, pressures will be erratic.
Improper filling can also raise fluid level too high. Whentransaxle has too much fluid, gears churn up foam and
cause same conditions which occur with low fluid level,resulting in accelerated deterioration of ATF.
transmission 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 mistakenfor a leak.
6. Be sure to examine fluid on dipstick closely.lO.AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE (Change fluid)
Drain the fluid and check whether there is any evidence of
contamination.
Replenish with new fluid after the cause of any contamina-tion has been corrected.
(1) Remove drain plugs to let fluid drain.
(2) Remove the oil pan.
(3) Check the oil filter for clogging and damage and replaceif necessary.
(4) Clean the inside of oil pan and 5 magnets.
(5) Attach the five magnets to the concave part of the oil

DIAGNOSIS AND TEST
FLUID LEVEL AND CONDITION1. Drive until the fluid temperature reaches the usual tem-
perature
[70-80°C (160- 18O”F)I.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 tobe 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 conditionof 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 inthe 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 itallows 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 bychecking 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.

Low fluid level can cause a variety of conditions
becaljse 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, causing delayed shift,
slippy clutch and brakes, etc.
Improper filling can also raise fluid level too high. When
transaxle has too much fluid, gears churn up foam and
