HINT: *1If the room temp. is approx. ±20°C (±4°F) or lower, FACE light may blink even though the
system is normal.
*
2If the ambient temperature is approx. ±50°C (±58°F) or lower, the B/L light may blink even
though the system is normal.
*
3If the check is being performed in a dark place, the LED for DEF (solar sensor circuit abnormal)
could be blinking.
In this case, perform diagnostic sensor check again while shining a light, such as an inspection
light, on the solar sensor.
If the light is still blinking, there could be trouble in the solar sensor circuit. AC±20

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
(See page AC±26).
(See page IN±30)
Check voltage between terminals TW and SG of A/C amplifier connector.
Proceed to next circuit inspection shown on matrix
chart (See page AC±26).  However, if the light is still
blinking, check and replace A/C amplifier.
Check engine coolant temperature sensor.
Replace engine coolant temperature sensor.
Check harness and connector between A/C amplifier and engine coolant
temperature sensor (See page 
IN±30).
Repair or replace harness or connector.
Check and replace A/C amplifier.
Remove A/C amplifier with connectors still con-
nected.
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Measure voltage between terminal TW of SG
of A/C amplifier connector at each temperature.
HINT: As the temperature increases, the voltage decreases 
gradually.
Voltage:  
at 0°C (32°F):     2.8 ~ 3.2  V
at 40°C (104°F):  1.8 ~ 2.2  V
at 70°C (158°F):  1.3 ~ 1.5  V
1. Remove A/C unit (See page AC±80).
2. Remove engine coolant temperature sensor.
Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of en-
gine coolant temperature sensor connector at each
temperature.
 
HINT: As the temperature increases, the resistance
 decreases gradually.
Resistance:  
at  0°C (32°F):      Below 50 k
at  40°C (104°F):   2.4  ~   2.8 k
at 100°C (212°F):  Over 0.2 k

ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
The electronic control system, which controls the shift points and the operation of the lock±up clutch, is
composed of the following three parts:
1. Sensors
These sensors sense the vehicle speed, throttle opening and other conditions and send this data to the
ECM in the form of electrical signals.
2. ECM
The ECM determines the shift and lock±up timing based upon the signals from sensors, and controls the
solenoid  valves of the hydraulic control unit accordingly.
3. Actuators
These are three solenoid valves that control hydraulic pressure acting on the hydraulic valves to control
shifting and lock±up timing.
