(6) Shift into the D position. Press all the way down on the accelerator pedal with your right foot.
Quickly read the stall speed at this time.
Stall speed: 2,600 ± 150 rpm
(7) Do the same test in R position.
Stall speed: 2,600 ± 150 rpm
Evaluation:
ProblemPossible cause
(a) Stall speed low in D and R positions
Engine output may be insufficient
Stator one±way clutch is operating properly
HINT: If more than 600 rpm below the specified value, the torque
converter could be faulty.
(b) Stall speed high in D position
Line pressure too low
Forward clutch slipping
No.2 one±way clutch not operating properly
O/D clutch slipping
(c) Stall speed high in R position
Line pressure too low
Direct clutch slipping
1st and reverse brake slipping
O/D clutch slipping
(d) Stall speed high in D and R positions
Line pressure too low
Improper fluid level
O/D one±way clutch not operating properly
(b) Measure the time lag.
When the shift lever is shifted while the engine is idling, there will be a certain time lapse or lag before
the shock can be felt. This is used for checking the condition of the O/D direct clutch, forward clutch,
and 1st and reverse brake.
NOTICE:
Do the test at normal operating fluid temperature 50 ± 80 °C (122 ± 176 °F).
Be sure to allow 1 minute interval between tests.
Take 3 measurements and take the average value.
(1) Connect an OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester to DLC3.
(2) Fully apply the parking brake.
(3) Start the engine and check idle speed.
Idle speed: 700 ± 50 rpm (In N position and air conditioner OFF)
(4) Shift the shift lever from N to D position. Using a stop watch, measure the time from when the
lever is shifted until the shock is felt.
In the same manner, measure the time lag for N " R.
Time lag:
N " D Less than 1.2 seconds
N " R Less than 1.5 seconds
Evaluation (If N " D time or N " R time lag is longer than specified):
ProblemPossible cause
N " D time lag is longer
Line pressure too low
Forward clutch worn
O/D one±way clutch not operating
N " R time lag is longer
Line pressure too low
Direct clutch worn
1st and reverse brake worn
O/D one±way clutch not operating properly

7. HYDRAULIC TEST
Measure the line pressure
NOTICE:
Do the test at normal operation fluid temperature 50 ± 80 °C (122 ± 176 °F).
The line pressure test should always be carried out in pairs. One technician should observe
the conditions of wheels or wheel stoppers outside the vehicle while the other is doing the test.
Be careful to prevent SST's hose from interfering with the exhaust pipe.
(1) Warm up the ATF.
(2) Remove the test plug on the transaxle case front left side and connect SST.
(See page AX±21 for the location to connect SST)
SST 09992±00095 (09992±00231, 09992±00271)
(3) Fully apply the parking brake and chock the 4 wheels.
(4) Connect an OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester to DLC3.
(5) Start the engine and check idling speed.
(6) Keep your left foot pressed firmly on the brake pedal and shift into D position.
(7) Measure the line pressure when the engine is idling.
(8) Depress the accelerator pedal all the way down. Quickly read the highest line pressure when
engine speed reaches stall speed.
(9) In the same manner, do the test in R position.
Specified line pressure:
ConditionD position kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)R position kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)
Idling401 ± 461 (4.1 ± 4.7, 58 ± 66)804 ± 882 (8.2 ± 9.0, 117 ± 128)
Stall1,138 ± 1,236 (11.6 ± 12.6, 165 ± 179)1,716 ± 1,854 (17.5 ± 18.9, 249 ± 269)
If the measured pressure is not up to specified value, recheck the throttle cable adjustment and retest.
Evaluation
ProblemPossible cause
If the measured values at all position are higher
Throttle cable out of adjustment
Throttle valve defective
Regulator valve defective
If the measured values at all position are lower
Throttle cable out of adjustment
Throttle valve defective
Regulator valve defective
Oil pump defective
O/D direct clutch defective

CIRCUIT INSPECTION
DTC P0500 Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The vehicle speed sensor outputs a 4±pulse signal for every revolution of the rotor shaft, which is rotated
by the transmission output shaft via the driven gear. After this signal is converted into a more precise rectan-
gular waveform by the waveform shaping circuit inside the combination meter, it is then transmitted to the
ECM. The ECM determines the vehicle speed based on the frequency of these pulse signals.

DTC P0750, P0755 Shift Solenoid A/B Malfunction
(Shift Solenoid Valve No.1/No.2)
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses signals from the vehicle speed sensor and direct clutch speed sensor to detect the actual
gear position (1st, 2nd, 3rd or O/D gear).
Then the ECM compares the actual gear with the shift schedule in the ECM memory to detect mechanical
trouble of the shift solenoid valves, valve body or automatic transaxle (clutch, brake or gear etc.)
DTC No.DTC Detecting ConditionTrouble Area

P0755During normal driving, the gear required by the ECM does not
match the actual gear
(2 trip detection logic)Shift solenoid valve No.1/No.2 is stuck open or closed
Valve body is blocked up or stuck
Automatic transaxle (clutch, brake or gear etc.)
Check the shift solenoid valve No.1 when DTC P0750 is output and check the shift solenoid valve No.2 when
DTC P0755 is output.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check shift solenoid valve No.1 or No.2 operation.
PREPARATION:
(a) Remove the oil pan.
(b) Remove the shift solenoid valve No.1 or No.2.
CHECK:
(a) Applying 490 kPa (5 kgf/cm2, 71 psi) of compressed air,
check that the solenoid valve does not leak air.
(b) When battery positive voltage is supplied to the shift sole-
noid valve, check that the valve opens.
NG Replace the shift solenoid valve No.1 or No.2.

DTC P0770 Shift Solenoid E Malfunction
(Shift Solenoid Valve SL)
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses the signals from the throttle position sensor, air±
flow meter and crankshaft position sensor to monitor the en-
gagement condition of the lock±up clutch.
Then the ECM compares the engagement condition of the
lock±up clutch with the lock±up schedule in the ECM memory
to detect mechanical trouble of the shift solenoid valve SL,
valve body, torque converter clutch or automatic transaxle
(clutch, brake or gear etc.).
