G IGNITION SYSTEM BURNS PLUG GAP DAMAGE AND DETERIORATION DAMAGE SPARK PLUG Removal 1 Installation Caution Pulling on the wire part of the spark plug lead may i/ break it. To remove the lead, pull only on the boot. Caution To avoid breaking the spark plug be sure to fit the socket squarely over it. Tighten to the specified torque. Spark plug tightening torque: 15--22 N-m (1.5--2.3 kgf-m, 11-16 ft-lbf) Spark Test 1. Disconnect the high-tension lead from the spark plug. 2. Connect a new spark plug to the high-tension lead. 3. Hold with insulated pliers approx. 5-10mm (0.20-4.39 in) from a ground. 4. Crank the engine and verify that a strong blue spark is visible. . -.d' Note If a timing light is used to check for spark, some lights do not light at Nos.:! and 4 cylinders even if the igni- tion system is normal. Inspection Check the following and replace the spark plugs as neces- sary. 1. Damaged insulation. 2. Worn electrodes. 3. Carbon deposits. If cleaning is necessary, use a plug cleaner or a wire brush. Wipe upper insulator. 4. Damaged gasket. Plug gap: 1 .O-1 .l mm (0.040-0.043 in) Gartner Banana

TRANSMISSION J DISASSEMBLY Precaution : 1. Clean the transmission exterior thoroughly with a steam cleaner or cleaning solvent before disassembly. b Warning Using compressed air can cause dirt and other particles to fly out, causing injury to the eyes. Wear protective eye wear whenever using compressed air. 2. Clean the removed parts (except sealed bearings) and all sealing surfaces with cleaning solvent, and dry with compressed air. Clean out all holes and passages with compressed air, and check that there are no obstructions.

J TRANSMISSION Countershaft rear bearing Remove the countershaft rear bearing by using the SST. i/ Locknut (Mainshaft) 1. Shift the clutch hub sleeves into 1 st and Reverse gears to lock the rotation of the mainshaft. 2. Use a suitable tool to uncrimp the tabs of the locknut. 3. Secure the bearing housing in a vise. 4. Remove the locknut by using the SST. Main drive gear bearing Remove the main drive gear bearing with a suitable pipe. u Outer diameter of pipe: 70.0mm (2.76 in) Countershaft front bearing Remove the countershaft front bearing by using the SST. Bearing housing assembly Remove the bearing housing by lightly tapping the coun- tershaft with a copper hammer. Gartner Banana

TRANSMISSION J 4. The following washer thicknesses are available. The total thickness of the front and rear washers should be 5.9--6.0mm I0.232--0.236 in). Washer thickness: 2.2mm (0.087 in), 2.7mm 10.106 in) 3.0mm (0.118 in), 3.2mm (0.126 in) 3.7mm (0.146 in) Intermediate housing 1. Apply sealant to the contact surfaces of the intermediate housing and bearing housing. 2. Mount the intermediate housing to the bearing housing by tapping it lightly with a plastic hammer. Roll pin Install a new roll pin into each shift rod end. The roll pin must be installed with the split facing forward. Gartner Banana

K TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING GENERAL NOTES A problem with the EC-AT may be caused by the engine, the EC-AT powertrain, the hydraulic control LJ system, or the electronic control system. When troubleshooting, therefore, begin from these points, which can be inspected quickly and easily. The recommended troubleshooting sequence is described below. WHEEL CHOCK 63 TEMPERATURE w-7u'C (1461WF) Step 1 : On-board Diagnosis System Inspection Check for diagnostic trouble code(s) memorized in the powertrain control module (Transmission) with the Self- Diagnosis Checker. (Refer to page K-11 .) Note You can also check the flashing sequence of the hold indicator light for diagnostic trouble code(s). (Refer to page K-1 1 .) Step 2: Mechanical System Test Check the engine stall speed, time lag, and line pres- sure. (Refer to page K-22.) Step 3: Road Test Check the shift point, shift schedule, and shift shock. (Refer to page K-29.) Gartner Banana

ON-BOARD DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM K ON-BOARD DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The self-diagnosis system integrated in the powertrain control module (Transmission) diagnoses mal- functions of the main sensors (input) and solenoid valves (output) and the powertrain control module (Transmission) itself. Malfunctions or intermittent malfunctions are memorized in the powertrain control module (Transmis- sion) to later be output as diagnostic trouble codes. The Self-Diagnosis Checker can be used to retrieve these diagnostic trouble codes. The Self-Diagno- sis Checker indicates a malfunction by displaying a code and sounding a buzzer. When the TAT and GND terminals of the data link connector are shorted with the ignition switch ON, the powertrain control module (Transmission) outputs any memorized diagnostic trouble codes by flashing the hold indicator light. PREPARATION SST 49 801 9 9AO For 49 H018 9A1 For diagnosis of diagnosis of System EC-AT Self-Diagnosis EC-AT selector checker Assembly of SST DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE Inspection Procedure Self-Diagnosis Checker 1. Connect the SST (System Selector) to the data link con- nector. 2. Set the SYSTEM SELECT switch A to position 2. 3. Set the TEST SW to SELF TEST position. Gartner Banana

K ON-BOARD DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM Ill I 4. Connect the SST (Self-Diagnosis Checker) to the SST (System Selector) and a ground. 5. Set the SELECT SW to position A. 6. Turn on the ignition switch. ii 7. Verify that "88" flashes on the digital display and that the buzzer sounds for 3 seconds. 8. If "88" does not flash, check the main relay and 2s and 2Q terminals of the powertrain control module (transmis- sion) for an open or short circuit. 9. If "88" flashes and the buzzer sounds continuously for more than 20 seconds, check the wiring to terminal 1C of the powertrain control module (Transmission) for an open or short circuit. If necessary, replace the powertrain control module (Transmission) and repeat from step 2. 10. Note any code(s) and check for the cause(s). Repair as necessary. (Refer to page K-12.) 11. After repairs are made, do the After-Repair Procedure (page K-21) to verify that there are no remaining codes. Troubleshooting If a diagnostic trouble code is shown on the SST (Self-Diagnosis Checker), check for the cause by using the ch&t related to the code shown.
