1. General

1. BASIC CHECK ITEMS FOR AT
When trouble code about automatic transmission is shown
on display, carry out the following basic check. After that,
carry out the replacement or repair work.
1) ATF level check
2) Differential gear oil level check
3) ATF leak check
4) Differential gear oil leak check
5) Brake band adjustment
6) Stall test
7) Line pressure test
8) Transfer clutch pressure test
9) Time lag test
10) Road test
11) Shift characteristics
NOTE:
As for the method, refer to 3-2 [W2A0], [W2B1], [W300].

6. Basic Diagnostics Procedure

D: IGNITION CONTROL SYSTEM
8D1Check ignition system for sparks.
8D2Check power supply circuit for ignition coil.
8D3Check ignition coil.
8D4Check harness between ignitor and ignition
coil connector.
8D5Check input signal for ignitor.
8D6Check harness of ignitor ground circuit.
8D7Check harness between ECM and ignitor
connector.
CAUTION:
After repair or replacement of faulty parts, conduct
CLEAR MEMORY and INSPECTION MODES.

8D1
CHECK IGNITION SYSTEM FOR SPARKS.
1) Remove plug cord cap from each spark plug.
2) Install new spark plug on plug cord cap.
CAUTION:
Do not remove spark plug from engine.
3) Contact spark plug’s thread portion on engine.
4) While opening throttle valve fully, crank engine to check
that spark occurs at each cylinder.
: Does spark occur at each cylinder?
: Check fuel pump system.
: Go to step8D2.
OBD0123A
8D2CHECK POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR
IGNITION COIL.
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect connector from ignition coil.
3) Turn ignition switch to ON.
4) Measure power supply voltage between ignition coil
connector and engine ground.
: Connector & terminal
(E12) No. 2 (+)—Engine ground ():
Is the voltage more than 10 V?
: Go to step8D3.
: Repair harness between ignition coil and ignition
switch connector.
OBD0124
8D3
CHECK IGNITION COIL.
1) Measure resistance between ignition coil terminals to
check primary coil.
: Terminals
No. 2—No. 1:
Is the resistance between 0.4 and 1.0Ω?
: Go to next.
: Replace ignition coil.
100

: Terminals
No. 2—No. 3:
Is the resistance between 0.4 and 1.0Ω?
: Replace ignition coil.
: Go to next step 2).
OBD0125A
2) Measure resistance between spark plug cord contact
portions to check secondary coil.
: Terminals
#1—#2:
Is the resistance between 18 and 24Ω?
: Go to next.
: Replace ignition coil.
: Terminals
#3—#4:
Is the resistance between 18 and 24Ω?
: Go to step8D4.
: Replace ignition coil.
OBD0126A
8D4CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN IGNITOR
AND IGNITION COIL CONNECTOR.
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect connector from ignitor.
3) Measure resistance of harness connector between igni-
tion coil and ignitor.
: Connector & terminal
(B13) No. 5—(E12) No. 1:
Is the resistance less than 1Ω?
: Go to next.
: Go to next.
: Connector & terminal
(B13) No. 6—(E12) No. 3:
Is the resistance less than 1Ω?
: Go to step8D5.
: Go to next.

8. Diagnostics for Engine Starting Failure

: Is there poor contact in coupling connector
(B22)?
: Repair poor contact in coupling connector.
: Repair harness between ignition coil and ignitor
connector.
OBD0728
B2M0224A
8D5
