DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
The automatic transmission has built±in self±diagnostic
functions. If a malfunction occurs in the system, the ECM
stores the diagnostic trouble code in memory and the O/D
OFF (Overdrive OFF) indicator light blinks to inform the driv-
er. The diagnostic trouble code stored in memory can be read
out by the following procedure.
O/D OFF INDICATOR LIGHT INSPECTION
1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
2. Check if the O/D OFF indicator light lights up when the O/D
main switch is pushed out to OFF and goes off when the O/D
main switch is pushed in to ON.
HINT: If the O/D OFF indicator light does not light up or stay
on all the time, carry out the check for ºO/D OFF Indicator
Light Circuitº on page AT2±108.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
1. Turn the ignition switch ON, but do not start the engine.
2. Push in the O/D main switch to ON.
HINT: Warning and diagnostic trouble codes can be read only
when the O/D main switch is ON. If it is OFF, the O/D OFF indi-
cator light up will light continuously and will not blink.
3. Using SST, connect terminals TE1 and E1 of the DLC 1 or
DLC2.
SST 09843±18020
4. Read the diagnostic trouble code indicated by the number of
times the O/D OFF indicator light blinks
(See next page).
HINT: If the system is operating normally, the light will blink
2 times per second. AT2±34

CHECK TERMINAL TT OUTPUT
VOLTAGE
When a voltmeter is connected to the DLC2, the following
items can be checked.
1. Throttle position sensor signal
2. Brake signal
3. Shift position signal
1. VOLTMETER CONNECTION
Connect the positive (+) probe of the voltmeter to terminal TT
and the negative (±) probe to terminal E1 of the DLC2.
HINT: If a voltmeter with small internal resistance is used, the
correct voltage will not be indicated, so use a voltmeter with
an internal resistance of at least 10 k/V.
2. TURN IGNITION SWITCH TO ON (DO NOT START THE
ENGINE)
3. CHECK THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR SIGNAL
Check if the voltage changes from approx. 0 V to approx. 8
V when the accelerator pedal is gradually depressed from the
fully closed position.
4. CHECK BRAKE SIGNAL (LOCK±UP CUT SIGNAL)
(a) Open the throttle valve fully to apply approx. 8 V to terminal
TT.
(b) In this condition, check terminal TT voltage when the brake
pedal is depressed and released.
TT terminal voltage:
0 V (When brake pedal is depressed)
8 V (When brake pedal is released)
5. START ENGINE
6. CHECK SHIFT POSITION SIGNAL
(VEHICLE SPEED ABOVE 10 km/h, 6 mph)
Check up±shifting together with terminal TT voltage.
Gear Position Terminal TT output voltage 1st Gear 0 V
2nd Gear
2 V
3rd Gear 4 V
3rd Lock±up 5 V
O/D 6 V
O/D Lock±up 7 V
HINT: Check for light shocks from up±shifting and for
changes in the tachometer.
If terminal TT Output voltage check cannot be done, do the
check of TT terminal circuit on page AT2±115. AT2±36

(d) Check kick±down operation.
While running in the D position, 2nd, 3rd and O/D gears,
check to see that the possible kick±down vehicle speed limits
for 2
" 1, 3 " 2 and O/D " 3 kick±downs conform to those
indicated on the automatic shift schedule.
(See page AT2±116)
(e) Check for abnormal shock and slip at kick±down.
(f) Check the lock±up mechanism.
(1) Drive in D position, O/D gear, at a steady speed (lock±up
ON) of about 59 km/h (37 mph).
(2) Lightly depress the accelerator pedal and check that the
RPM does not change abruptly.
If there is a big jump in RPM, there is no lock±up.
2. D POSITION TEST (MANU PATTERN)
Shift into the D position and hold the accelerator pedal
constant at the full throttle valve opening position, and check
the following points:
(a) Check up±shift operation.
2±3 and 3±O/D up shifts should take place, and shift points
should conform to those shown in the automatic shift sched-
ule.
(See page AT2±116)
HINT:
wO/D up±shift or lock±up will not occur when the engine
coolant temp. is below 605C (1405F) and speed is under
60 km/h (37 mph), or if there is a 10 km/h (6 mph)
difference between the set cruise control speed.
w3rd up±shift or lock±up will not occur when engine
coolant temp. is 355C (955F) and speed is under 40 km/h
(25 mph).
(b) Check for shift shock and slip.
In the same manner, check the shock slip at the 2
" 3 and
3
" O/D up±shifts. AT2±38

(c) Check for abnormal noise and vibration.
Run at the D position lock±up or O/D gear and check for ab-
normal noise and vibration.
HINT: The check for the cause of abnormal noise and vibra-
tion must be made with extreme care as it could also be due
to loss of balance in the propeller shaft, differential, torque
converter clutch, etc.
(d) Check kick±down operation.
While running in the D position, 2nd, 3rd and O/D gears,
check to see that the possible kick±down vehicle speed limits
for 3
" 2 and O/D " 3 kick±downs conform to those indicated
on the automatic shift schedule.
(See page AT2±116)
(e) Check for abnormal shock slip at kick±down.
(f) Check the lock±up mechanism.
(1) Drive in D position, O/D gear, at a steady speed (lock±up
ON) of about 195 km/h (121 mph).
(2) Lightly depress the accelerator pedal and check that the
engine RPM does not change abruptly.
If there is big jump in the engine RPM there is no lock ±up.
3. 2 POSITION TEST (NORM PATTERN)
Shift into the 2 position and, while driving with the accelerator
pedal held constantly at the full throttle valve opening posi-
tion, check on the following points:
(a) Check up±shift operation.
Check to see that the 1
" 2 up±shift takes place and that the
shift point conforms to the automatic shift schedule.
(See page AT2±116)
HINT: There is no O/D up±shift and lock±up in the 2 position.
(b) Check engine braking.
While running in the 2 position and 2nd gear, release the ac-
celerator pedal and check the engine braking effect.

Shift into the 2 position and while driving with the accelerator
pedal held constantly at the full throttle valve opening posi-
tion, push in one of the pattern selectors and check these
points:
