(c) With the torque converter clutch standing on its side the
clutch should lock when turned counterclockwise, and rotate
freely and smoothly clockwise.
If necessary, clean the converter clutch and retest the clutch.
Replace the converter if the clutch still fails the test.
2. MEASURE DRIVE PLATE RUNOUT AND INSPECT RING
GEAR
Set up a dial indicator and measure the drive plate runout.
Maximum runout:
0.20 mm (0.0079 in.)
If runout exceeds 0.20 mm (0.0079 in.) or if the ring gear is
damaged, replace the drive plate. If installing a new drive
plate, note the orientation of spacers and tighten the bolts.
Torque: 74 NVm (750 kgfVcm, 54 ftVlbf)
3. MEASURE TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SLEEVE
RUNOUT
(a) Temporarily mount the torque converter clutch to the drive
plate. Set up a dial indicator.
Maximum runout:
0.30 mm (0.0118 in.)
If runout exceeds 0.30 mm (0.0118 in.), try to correct by reori-
enting the installation of the converter clutch. If excessive
runout cannot be corrected, replace the torque converter
clutch.
HINT: Mark the position of the converter clutch to ensure cor-
rect installation.
(b) Remove the torque converter clutch.

2. CHECK TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH INSTALLATION
Using feeler gauge and a straight edge, measure between
the installed surface of the transmission and the straight
edge.

PROBLEM SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION
Taking into consideration the results of the customer problem analysis, try to reproduce the symptoms of
the trouble. If the problem is that the transmission does not up±shift, does not down±shift, or the shift point
is too high or too low, conduct the following road test to confirm the automatic shift schedule and simulate
the problem symptoms.
ROAD TEST
NOTICE: Do the test at normal A/T fluid operating temp.
50±80°C (122 ± 176°F).
1. D POSITION TEST (NORM PATTERN)
Shift into the D position and keep the accelerator pedal
constant at the full throttle valve opening position, and check
the following points:
(a) Check up±shift operation.
Check that 1±2, 2±3 and 3±O/D up±shift takes place, at the
shift point shown in the automatic shift schedule.
(See page AT1±96)
HINT:
(1) O/D Gear Up±shift Prohibition Control.
w Coolant temp. is 60°C (140°F) or less.
w If there is a 10 km/h (6 mph) difference between the set
cruise control speed and
wvehicle speed.
wO/D main switch is pushed ON.
w(During O/D OFF, indicator light lights up.)
(2) O/D Gear Lock±up Prohibition Control.
w Brake pedal is depressed.
w Coolant temp. is 60°C (140°F) or less.
(b) Check for shift shock and slip.
Check for shock and slip at the 1±2, 2±3 and 3±O/ D up±
shifts.
(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 performed very thoroughly as it could also be
due to loss of balance in the torque converter clutch, etc.
± AT340E (2JZ±GE) AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONTROUBLESHOOTINGAT1±37
(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 indi-
cated on the automatic shift schedule.
(See page AT1±96)
(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 172 km/h (107 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 AT1±96)
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.

5. INSPECT AND ADJUST THROTTLE CABLE
(a) Check that the throttle valve is fully closed.
(b) Check that the inner cable is not slack.
(c) 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.
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.
7. INSPECT AND ADJUST PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION
SWITCH
Check that the engine can be started with the shift lever only
in the N or P position, but not in other positions.
If not as started above, carry out these adjustment proce-
dures:
(a) Loosen the park/neutral position switch bolt and set the shift
lever to the N position.
(b) Align the groove and neutral basic line.
(c) Hold in position and tighten the bolt.
Torque: 13 NVm (130 kgfVcm, 9 ftVlbf)
For continuity inspection of the park/neutral position switch,
see page AT1±81.

Idle speed:
700 + 50 rpm
