(a) Temp. sensor resistance less than 79
(b) After the engine has been operating for 15 minutes
or more, the resistance at the temp. sensor is more than
156 k

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Check sensor resistance
Remove A/T fluid temp. sensor.
Measure resistance between terminals of A/T fluid
temp. sensor at 20°C (68°F) and 110°C (230°F).
Resistance:
20°C (68°F) Approx. 12.08 k
110°C (230°F) Approx. 0.78 k
Replace A/T fluid temp. sensor.
Repair or replace harness or connector.
Check harness and connector between battery and A/T fluid temp. sensor
A/T fluid temp. sensor and ECM. (See page IN±30).
Check A/T fluid temp. sensor.
Check and replace ECM. AT1±65

Pattern Select Switch Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The ECM memory contains the shift programs for the NORMAL and MANUAL patterns, 2 position, and L posi-
tion and the lock±up patterns. Following the programs corresponding to the signals from the pattern select
switch, the park/neutral position switch and other various sensors the ECM switches the solenoid valves ON
and OFF, thereby controlling the transmission gear change and the lock±up clutch operation.

Turn ignition siwtch ON.
Check ªMANUº mode indicator light when pat-
tern select switch is pushed in to ON.
Check if A/T fluid is too hot.
Pattern select switch
Connect the Check Harness A to the ECM
(See page EG±404).
Turn igntion switcn ON.
Check voltage between terminal M of ECM connector and body ground.
Proceed to next circuit inspection shown on
matrix chart. (See page AT1±58)
Voltage
MANU7.5 ± 14 V
NORMBelow 1.5 V
Wait until the A/T fluid temp. is reduced.
The ECM uses the Normal pattern signal if the
Manual signal is not input.
Measure voltage between the terminal M of ECM
connector and body ground when the pattern se-
lect switch is set to the MANU (MANUAL) position
and NORM (NORMAL) position.
ºMANUº mode indicator light comes on and stays
on.
If the A/T fluid temp. becomes too hot, the
ªMANUº mode indicator light flashes for several
seconds and goes off. The driving mode then
automatically changes from MANU mode to the
NORM mode. AT1±86

HYDRAULIC CONTROL SYSTEM
The hydraulic control system is composed of an oil pump, valve body, solenoid valves, accumulators,
clutches and brakes, as well as the fluid passages which connect all of these components. Based on the
hydraulic pressure created by the oil pump, the hydraulic control system governs the hydraulic pressure
acting on the torque converter clutch, clutches and brakes in accordance with the vehicle driving condi-
tions.
There are five solenoid valves on the valve body.
The No.1 and No.2 solenoid valves are turned on and off by signals from the ECM to control the shift valves,
and change the gear shift position.
The No.3 solenoid valve is operated by signals from the ECM to engage or disengage the lock±up clutch
of the torque converter clutch.
The No.4 solenoid valve is operated by signals from the ECM to control the engagement speed and reduce
gear shift shock.
The No.5 solenoid valve is operated by signals from the ECM to regulate the line pressure to throttle pres-
sure.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
The electronic control system for the A340E automatic transmission provides extremely precise control of
the gear shift timing and lock±up timing in response to driving conditions as sensed by various sensors
located throughout the vehicle and in response to the engine's running condition.
At the same time, the ECM control reduces vehicle squat when the vehicle starts out and gear shift shock.
The electronic control system is also equipped with a self diagnosis system which diagnoses malfunctions
for the vehicle to continue functioning when a malfunction occurs.

The electronic control system can be broadly divided onto three groups; the sensors, ECM and actuators.
