Service Notice or Precautions
FAIL-SAFE
The TCM has an electronic Fail-Safe (limp home mode). This allows the vehicle to be driven even if a major
electrical input/output device circuit is damaged.
Under Fail-Safe, the vehicle always runs in third gear even with a shift lever position of ª1º, ª2º or ªDº. Cus-
tomer may complain of ªsluggish or poor accelerationº.
When the Fail-Safe operation occurs the next time the key is turned to the ªONº position, the SPORT indi-
cator lamp will blink for about 8 seconds. (For diagnosis, refer to AT-1029.)
The blinking of the SPORT indicator lamp for about 8 seconds will appear only once and be cleared. The
customer may resume normal driving conditions by chance.
Always follow the ªWORK FLOWº (Refer to AT-1040).
The SELF-DIAGNOSIS results will be as follows:
The first SELF-DIAGNOSIS will indicate the damage of the vehicle speed sensor or the revolution
sensor.
During the next SELF-DIAGNOSIS performed after checking the sensor, no damages will be indicated.

*1: Operates when overdrive control or A/T mode switch is being set in ªOFFº or ªSPORTº position.
*2: Oil pressure is applied to both 2nd ªapplyº side and 3rd ªreleaseº side of band servo piston. However, brake band does not contract because oil
pressure area on the ªreleaseº side is greater than that on the ªapplyº side.
*3: Oil pressure is applied to 4th ªapplyº side in condition *2 above, and brake band contracts.
*4: A/T will not shift to 4th when overdrive control or A/T mode switch is set in ªOFFº or ªSPORTº position.
j: Operates
: Operates when throttle opening is less than 5.5/16, activating engine brake.
*: Operates during ªprogressiveº acceleration.
^: Operates but does not affect power transmission.

TCM FUNCTION
The function of the TCM is to:
+Receive input signals sent from various switches and sensors.
+Determine required line pressure, shifting point, lock-up operation, and engine brake operation.
+Send required output signals to the respective solenoids.
INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL OF TCM
Sensors and solenoid valves Function
InputPNP switch Detects select lever position and sends a signal to TCM.
Accelerator position sensor Detects throttle valve position and sends a signal to TCM.
Accelerator position switch
(Off accel)Detects throttle valve's fully-closed position and sends a signal to TCM.
Accelerator position switch
(Full accel)Detects a throttle valve position of greater than 1/2 of full throttle and sends a
signal to TCM.
Engine speed signal From ECM.
A/T fluid temperature sensor Detects transmission fluid temperature and sends a signal to TCM.
Revolution sensor Detects output shaft rpm and sends a signal to TCM.
Vehicle speed sensorUsed as an auxiliary vehicle speed sensor. Sends a signal when revolution sen-
sor (installed on transmission) malfunctions.
Overdrive control switch
A/T mode switchSends a signal, which prohibits a shift to ªD
4º (overdrive) position, to the TCM.
OutputShift solenoid valve A/BSelects shifting point suited to driving conditions in relation to a signal sent from
TCM.
Line pressure solenoid valveRegulates (or decreases) line pressure suited to driving conditions in relation to
a signal sent from TCM.
Torque converter clutch solenoid valveRegulates (or decreases) lock-up pressure suited to driving conditions in relation
to a signal sent from TCM.
Overrun clutch solenoid valveControls an ªengine brakeº effect suited to driving conditions in relation to a sig-
nal sent from TCM.
O/D OFF indicator lamp
SPORT indicator lampShows TCM faults, when A/T control components malfunction.

SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (Without
CONSULT-II)
DIAGNOSIS START
1. Start engine and warm it up to normal
engine operating temperature.
2. Turn ignition switch to ªOFFº position.
Wait at least 5 seconds.
1. Set A/T mode switch to ªAUTOº posi-
tion.
2. Set overdrive control switch in ªONº
position.
3. Move selector lever to ªPº position.
4. Turn ignition switch to ªONº position.
(Do not start engine.)
5. Does SPORT indicator lamp come on
for about 2 seconds?
Yes
cNo
Go to 1. SPORT Indicator

AT-1097.
1. Turn ignition switch to ªACCº position.
2. Move selector lever to ªDº position.
1. Set overdrive control switch in ªOFFº
position.
2. Depress accelerator pedal fully and
release it.
3. Turn ignition switch ªONº.
(Do not start engine.)
