If the lock−up is defective:
Lock−up solenoid is stuck.
Lock−up control valve is stuck.
Lock−up signal value is stuck.
(2) In the same way, check the shock and slip at the 1 → 2, 2 →3 and 3 → O/D up−shift.
Evaluation:
If the shock is excessive:
Line pressure is too high.
Accumulator is defective.
Check ball is defective. (3) Run at the D position lock −up or O/D gear and check for abnormal noise and vibration.
HINT:
The check for the cause of abnormal noises and vibration 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.
(4) 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.
(5) Check for abnormal shock and slip at kick −down.
(6) Check for the lock −up mechanism.
Drive in D position, O/D gear, at a steady speed (lock −up ON) of about 95 km/h (59 mph).
Lightly depress the accelerator pedal and check that the engine RPM does not change
abruptly.
If there is a big jump in engine RPM, there is no lock −up.
(b) 2 position test. Shift into the 2 position and, while driving with the accelerator pedal held \
constantly at the full throttle
valve opening position, push in one of the pattern selectors and check the fo\
llowing points:
HINT:
When the 2nd start switch is on, there is no 1 → 2 up−shift and 2 →1 down−shift.
(1) Check to see that the 1 → 2 up− shift takes place and that the shift point conforms to the automatic
shift schedule.
HINT:
There is no O/D up−shift and lock−up in the 2 position. (2) While running in the 2 position and 2nd ge ar, release the accelerator pedal and check the engine
braking effect.
Evaluation:
If there is no engine braking effect:
2nd coast brake is defective. (3) Check for abnormal noise at acceleration and deceleration, and for shock at up −shift and down −
shift.
(c) L position test. (1) While running in the L position, check to see that there is no up −shift to 2nd gear.
(2) While running in the L position, release the accelerator pedal and check the engine braking ef- fect.
Evaluation:
If there is no engine braking effect:
1stand reverse brake is defective. (3) Check for abnormal noise during acceleration and deceleration.
(d) R position test. Shift into the R position and fully depress the accelerator pedal and ch\
eck for slipping.

9. MANUAL SHIFTING TEST
The purpose of this manual shifting test is to determine whether
a problem is caused by either mechanical or electrical factors.
Disconnecting the solenoid wire disables electrically −con-
trolled automatic gear shifting. In this case, operating the shift
lever is the only way to shift the transmission gear. If the gear
is not changed by shift lever operation, it is assumed that there
is a mechanical problem.
(a) Turn the ignition switch OFF.
(b) Disconnect the solenoid wire connector.
(c) Warm up the engine.
(d) Drive the vehicle.
(e) Check the transmission operation when the shift lever is moved into L, 2 and D positions.
Standard:
