INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check shift solenoid valve SLD.
Check solenoid resistance:
PREPARATION:
(a) Jack up the vehicle.
(b) Remove the oil pan.
(c) Disconnect the connector.
CHECK:
Measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of the sole-
noid connector.
OK:
Resistance: 5.1 − 5.5 Ω
Check solenoid operation:
CHECK:
Connect positive lead with an 8 − 10 W bulb to terminal 1 of
the solenoid connector and nagative lead to terminal 2, then
check the movement of the valve.
OK:
When battery positive voltage is appliedValve moves in → direction in illumina-
tion (on the left)
When battery positive voltage is cut offValve moves in ← direction in illumina-
tion (on the right)

DTC P1780 Park/Neutral Position Switch Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The park/neutral position switch detects the shift lever position and sends signals to the ECM.
The ECM receives signals (NSW, R, 2 and L) from the park/neutral position switch. When the signal is not
sent to the ECM from the park/neutral position switch, the ECM judges that the shift lever is in the D position.

2 or more switches are ON simultaneously for the N, R, 2 and
L positions (2 trip detection logic)
When driving under conditions (a), (b) and (c) for 30 sec. or
more, the park/neutral position switch is ON (N position).

O/D Cancel Signal Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
While driving uphill with cruise control activated, in order to minimize gear shifting and provide smooth cruis-
ing, O/D may be prohibited temporarily in some conditions.
The cruise control ECU sends O/D cut signals to the ECM as necessary and the ECM cancels O/D shifting
until these signals are discontinued.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check voltage between terminal OD1 of ECM and body ground.
PREPARATION:
Turn the ignition switch ON.
CHECK:
Measure the voltage between terminal OD1 of the ECM and
body ground.
OK:
Voltage: 4 − 6 V
OK Proceed to next circuit inspection shown on
problem symptoms table (See page DI−192).

O/D Main Switch & O/D OFF Indicator Light Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The O/D main switch contacts go open when the switch is pushed in and go close when it is pushed once
again. In O/D main switch at the OFF position, the O/D OFF indicator light lights up, and the ECM prohibits
shifting to O/D.

Stop Light Switch Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this circuit is to prevent the engine from stalling, while driving in lock−up condition, when
brakes are suddenly applied.
When the brake pedal is operated, this switch sends a signal to ECM. Then the ECM cancels of the lock−up
clutch while braking is in progress.
WIRING DIAGRAM
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check operation of stop light.
CHECK:
Check if the stop lights go on and off normally when the brake pedal is operated and released.
NG Check and repair stop light circuit.

Pattern Select Switch Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The ECM memory contains the shift programs for the NORMAL and POWER patterns, 2 and L position 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, and control the transmission gear change and the lock−up clutch operation.
