CAUTION: When fasteners are removed, always
reinstall them at a the same location from which
they were removed. If a fastener needs to be
replaced, use the correct part number fastener for
that application. If the correct part number fastener
is not available, a fastener of equal size and
strength (or stronger) may be used. Fasteners that
are not reused, and those requiring thread locking
compound, will be called out. The correct torque
values must be used when installing fasteners that
require torque. If the above conditions are not
followed, parts or system damage could result.

Once the test vehicle has been identified an “Application
(Power train) Menu" screen appears. Please select the
appropriate application.
The following table shows, which functions are used for
the available equipment versions.
Diagnostic Trouble Codes
The purpose of the “Diagnostic Trouble Codes" mode is
to display stored TCM trouble codes.
When “Diagnostic Trouble Codes" is selected an
“Application Menu" screen appears.
Clear DTC Information
The purpose of the “Clear DTC Information" mode is to
command the clearing of stored TCM trouble codes.
When “Clear DTC Information" is selected, a “Clear
DTC Information", warning screen appears. This screen
informs you that by cleaning DTC's, “all stored DTC
information in controller will be erased".
Do you want to clear DTC's (Yes/No).
Press either the Yes or No key when answering.
After clearing codes, confirm system operation by test
driving the vehicle.
Allow the vehicle to shift through all four forward gears in
a manner which attempts to repeat the failure condition.
NOTE: When the trouble has not been repaired and thetrouble code cannot be erased, check the vehicle again.
DTC Information
When “DTC Information" is selected, an “Application
Menu" appears with a list of DTC information function
keys addressing DTC specifics and their origins.
Function key selections may vary for particular vehicle
and/or system.
Data Display
The purpose of the “Data Display" mode is to
continuously monitor data parameters.
The current actual values of all impor tant sensors and
signals in the system are display through F1 mode.
When “Data Display" is selected an “Application Menu"
appears.
See “TRANSMISSION DATA" and “TCC DATA” on next
page.
Snapshot
When “Snapshot" is selected an “Application Menu"
appears.
When “Transmission Snapshot" application is selected
from the “Application Menu", a “Snapshot Menu"
appears, displaying several options. “Snapshot" options
may vary from one system to another.
“Snapshot" allows a recording of all vehicle parameters.
There parameters may then be replayed at a future
point in time.
This action allows you to focus on making the condition
occur, rather than trying to view all of the data in
anticipation of the fault. The snapshot will collect
parameter information around a trigger point that you
select.
When a snapshot is taken. It is recorded onto the
PCMCIA memory card. When the Tech2 is powered
down. Snapshots are not lost.
Actuator Tests
The purpose of “Actuator Tests" mode is to check for
correct operation of electronic system actuators.

DTC P0743 (FLASHING CODE 33) TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH CONTROL LOCK-UP (ON/
OFF) SOLENOID FA I L U R E ( S L )
D07RY00047Circuit description:
The lock-up solenoid SL of the torque converter clutch
(TCC) controls the lock-up clutch by a signal according to
the lock-up range judgement of the TCM when the
vehicle runs.
This function can improve the fuel consumption to almost
the same extent as the manual transmission. The lock-up
solenoid SL is put into B+ by the TCM, so that the
solenoid is actuated with the result of lock-up.
Fail-safe control:
The TCM controls fail-safe by detecting SL solenoid
fai lu re.
Failure detection:
GND SHORT detection
•When SHORT detection continues for 0.3 sec.
•When SHORT failure detection continues 8 times.
Open detection
•When OPEN detection continues for 0.5 sec.
•When OPEN failure detection continues 8 times.
Contents of control:
At failure detection
• Lock-up control inhibit
• If + B short failure is detected, keeps 1st gear when
the vehicle speed calculated by output revolution
sensor is less than 10km/h to prevent stall.
(Canceled at more than 15km/h)
At failure decision
Executes following items in addition to above control
items at failure detection.
•Stores the failure information in failure-memory.
Conditions of turning “CHECK TRANS” lamp off:
NoneReversion conditions from fail-safe:
When a normal condition is judged by rechecking on the
state of lock-up ON/OFF
Test description:
The following numbers correspond to circled numbers on
the diagnostic char t.
(1) When the key is ON, the voltage between the TCM
connector terminals (C78-12) and (C78-15 or 19) is
1.0 V or less.
(2) When the gear is of the 2nd speed in the D range
and the throttle opening is about 50% at a higher
speed than about 40km/h, the TCM supplies 8 to 16
V, so that the solenoid is actuated with the result of
lock-up.
(3) The resistance range of the solenoid is 11 to 15
.
Diagnostic aids:
In case of faulty connection, open or shorted circuit. to
the TCM terminal (C78-12), DTC P0743 is displayed. A
intermittent failure may be caused by a poor connection,
rubbed through wire insulation or a wire broke inside the
insulation.

STALL TEST
The object of this test is to check the overall performance of the
transmission and engine by measuring the maximum engine
speeds at the "D" and "R" ranges.
NOTE:
(1) Perform the test at normal operation fluid temperature
(50 – 80
C or 122 – 176F).
(2) Do not continuously run this test longer than 5
seconds.
MEASURE STALL SPEED
1) Chock the four wheels.
2) Mount an engine tachometer.
3) Fully apply the parking brake.
4) Step down strongly on the brake pedal with your left foot.
5) Star t the engine.
6) Shift into the "D" range. Step all the way down on the
accelerator pedal with your right foot. Quickly read the
highest engine rpm.
7) Perform the same test in the "R" range.
EVALUATION
1) If the engine speed is the same for both ranges but lower
than the specified value:
• Engine output is insufficient.
• Stator one-way clutch is not operating properly.
NOTE:
If more than 600 rpm below the specified value, the torque
converter could be faulty.
2) If the stall speed in only "D" range is higher than specified:
• Line pressure too low
• Forward clutch slipping
• No. 2 one-way clutch not operating properly
3) If the stall speed in only "R" range is higher than specified:
• Line pressure too low
• Direct clutch slipping
• No. 3 brake slipping
4) If the stall speed in the "R" and "D" ranges are higher than
specified:
• Line pressure too low
• Improper fluid levelStall speed 2450
150rpm
