TROUBLE DIAGNOSES
DESCRIPTION
CONSULT indicates operation timing of each solenoid such as electrical shift timing and lock-up timing.
Therefore, when there is a definite difference between shift timing detected from shift shock (or engine
speed variation) and the one indicated by CONSULT, mechanical parts other than solenoids and sensors
(including hydraulic circuit) may be malfunctioning. In this case, check the mechanical parts using appli-
cable diagnostic procedures.
Shift schedule (which implies gear position) displayed on CONSULT and that indicated in Service Manual
may differ slightly. This occurs because of the following reasons:
Actual shift schedule has more or less tolerance or allowance.
Shift schedule indicated in Service Manual refers to the point where shifts start, and gear position dis-
played on CONSULT indicates the point where shifts are completed.
Shift solenoid valve A or B (ON/OFF) is displayed on CONSULT at the start of shifting. Gear position
is displayed upon completion of shifting (which is computed by TCM).
To make sure the part No. of ECM-TCM on CONSULT, touch "ENGINE" to verify "C/U PART NUMBER".
SELF-DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
Refer to "CONSULT Instruction Manual - Supplement" in details.
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Connect CONSULT connector to data link connector.
3. Start engine.
4. Touch "START', "NT and "SELF-DIAG RESULTS" sequen-
tially on CONSULT screen.
5. Self-diagnosis results are displayed on the screen.

DATA MONITOR PROCEDURE
Refer to "CONSULT Instruction Manual - Supplement" and "CON-
SULT Service Manual

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Connect CONSULT connector to data link connector.
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
4. Touch "START', ''AT and "DATA MONITOR" sequentially on
CONSULT screen.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSES
Self-diagnosis
DESCRIPTION
If malfunction should occur in electrical systems, turning ignition switch ON lights M mode switch POWER
indicator lamp
(M-AT Dual matic AfT warning lamp) for 2 seconds, and then flashes the indicator lamp for 8 Gc
seconds. If malfunction does not occur, A/T mode switch POWER indicator lamp (M-AT Dual matic A/T warn-
ing lamp) is turned on for
2 seconds upon turning ignition switch ON. To locate and display the malfunction-
ing part, output the trouble information memory and flash
A/T mode switch POWER indicator lamp (M-AT Dual
matic
A/T warning lamp) by inputting self-diagnostic startup signal.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
1. Warm up engine.
2. Repeat ON-OFF cycles of ignition switch for more than once, and turn it OFF at last.
3. Move A/T mode switch to AUTO, and turn overdrive control switch to O/D ON.
4. Turn ignition switch ON with selector lever in "Pn position, and ensure POWER indicator lamp is turned on
for
2 seconds.
5. Turn ignition switch OFF.
6. Move selector lever to "D" position.
7. Turn overdrive control switch O/D OFF.
8. Turn ignition switch ON.
9. Move selector lever to "2" position.
10. Turn overdrive control switch OID ON.
11. Move selector lever to "I" position.
12. Turn overdrive control switch O/D OFF.
13. Depress accelerator pedal fully, and release it.
14. Read flashing status of POWER indicator lamp to complete self-diagnosis procedures.
M-AT
1. Warm up engine.
2. Repeat ON-OFF cycles of ignition switch for more than once, and turn it OFF at last.
3. Turn ignition switch ON with selector lever in "P" position, and ensure dual matic PJT warning lamp is turned
on for
2 seconds.
4. Turn ignition switch OFF.
5. Depress brake pedal, release accelerator pedal, and then move selector lever to "D" position.
6. Turn ignition switch ON.
7. Release brake pedal, and move selector lever to "3" position.
8. While depressing brake pedal with left foot, depress accelerator pedal fully with right foot, and move
selector lever to
"2" position.
9. Read dual matic A/T warning lamp indication to complete self-diagnosis procedures.
