ENGINE COOLING ± Cooling Fan14-6
INSPECTION14100220023
COOLING FAN CHECK

Check blades for damage and cracks.

Check for cracks and damage around bolt holes in fan
hub.

If any portion of fan is damaged or cracked, replace cooling
fan.
FAN CLUTCH CHECK

Check to ensure that fluid in fan clutch is not leaking
at case joint and seals. If fluid quantity decreases due
to leakage, fan speed will decrease and engine
overheating might result.

When a fan attached to an engine is turned by hand,
it should give a sense of some resistance. If fan turns
lightly, it is faulty.

Check bimetal strip for damage.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ± Troubleshooting23-4
TROUBLESHOOTING23100760152
STANDARD FLOW OF DIAGNOSIS TROUBLESHOOTING
Automatic transmission malfunctions may be caused by the following conditions.
(1) Improper maintenance and adjustment
(2) Shift control system malfunction
(3) Mechanical malfunctions
(4) Hydraulic malfunctions
(5) Poor engine performance
Troubleshooting in the event of any such malfunctions should begin by checking fluid level, ATF condition,
manual linkage adjustment, throttle control cable adjustment and other conditions whose deviation from
standards can be readily known. Then, road test shall be performed to determine whether or not the
problem has been corrected or more diagnosis is necessary. If the problem still persists after these tests
and corrections, hydraulic tests should be performed for further troubleshooting.
Road test (guess what causes malfunc-
tion.)
Check how A/T works in each drive
range to find a defective system.
A/T control component inspection
Check the throttle cable, inhibitor switch,
overdrive switch, overdrive solenoid
valve, overdrive control relay, defective
switch, engine coolant temperature
switch and vehicle speed sensor.
Torque converter stall test (Inspection
of engine performance and mechanical
function)
Check the engine performance, torque
converter operation and clutch and
brake sliding performance.
Hydraulic pressure test (Inspection of
hydraulic control mechanism)
Measure the fluid line pressure and
check for malfunctions of the oil pump
or regulator valve and for oil leaks.
Oil leak inspection
Visually check gaskets and oil seals for
leaks.
Adjustment of basic inspection items
ROAD TEST 23100780158
Prior to performing road test, be sure to make basic checks including check and adjustment of fluid
level and condition and adjustment of the throttle cable. For road test, the transfer must be placed in
the 2H (2WD-high) position. In road test, various changes such as slips in transmission and shifting
conditions are checked and the transmission operation at each shift position must have been checked.

TEST 7
Check that lock up ON, OFF. Does the shifting points conform
with shift pattern?Ye sCarry out the road test in 2 range.
NOTE
(1) Determine the moment when lock up turns ON by decreased engine r/min or by a slight shock back
and forth.
(2) Determine the moment when lock up turns OFF by increased engine r/min.
(3) Check lock up condition by pumping the accelerator slightly. If engine r/min rises in accordance with
throttle valve opening size, determine that the lock up is OFF, if not, determine it ON.
(When lock up is OFF, drive power is transferred through the fluid in the torque converter and therefore,
when the accelerator pedal is depressed, slipping occurs inside the torque converter with a resulting
large increase in engine r/min.)
