MANUAL ROAD TEST
This test check the gear being used in ªLº, ª2º or ªDº range when
driven with unoperated gear shift control system. Test drive vehicle
on a level road.
NOTE:
Before this test, check diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
1) Disconnect coupler of shift solenoid valves on transmission.
WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not touch the hot
exhaust system when disconnecting shift solenoid
valves coupler.
2) With select lever in ªPº, start engine and warm it up.
3) With select lever in ªLº range, start vehicle and accelerate to 20
km/h (12.5 mile/h). Check in this state that 1st gear is being
used.
4) At 20 km/h (12.5 mile/h), shift select lever to 2 range and acceler-
ate to 40 km/h (25 mile/h). Check in this state that 3rd gear is
being used.
5) At 40 km/h (25 mile/h), shift select lever to D range and check
that O/D gear is used when speed is higher than 40 km/h (25
mile/h).
6) After above checks, stop vehicle then engine, and connect shift
solenoids coupler with ignition switch OFF.
WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not touch the hot
exhaust system when connecting shift solenoid valves
coupler.
7) Clear DTC with scan tool.
TIME LAG TEST
This test is to check conditions of clutch, reverse brake and fluid
pressure. ªTime lagº means time elapsed since select lever is
shifted with engine idling till shock is felt.
1) With chocks placed before and behind front and rear wheels re-
spectively, depress brake pedal.
2) Start engine.
3) With stop watch ready, shift select lever from ªNº to ªDº range
and measure time from that moment till shock is felt.
4) Similarly measure time lag by shifting select lever from ªNº to ªRº
range.
Specification for ªNº
ªDºLess than 1.2 sec.
time lagªNº
ªRºLess than 1.5 sec.
NOTE:

When repeating this test, be sure to wait at least minute
after select lever is shifted back to ªNº range.

Engine should be warmed up fully for this test.

INSPECTION
Check select lever for smooth and clear-cut movement and position
indicator for correct indication.
For operation of select lever, refer to left figure.
SELECT CABLE
ADJUSTMENT
1) Before tightening cable end nut, shift select lever to ªNº.
2) Also shift manual shift lever to ªNº.
NOTE:

Make sure that nut and cable joint have clearance under
above conditions.

If select cable has been moved, push it in arrow C direc-
tion as shown in figure at the left till it stops and then con-
firm that select lever is in ªNº position.
3) Turn nut A by hand till it contacts manual select cable joint.
Then tighten nut B with wrench.
4) After select cable was installed, check for the following.

Push vehicle with select lever shifted to ªPº.
Vehicle should not move.

Vehicle can not be driven in ªNº.

Vehicle can be driven in ªDº, ª2º, and ªLº.

Vehicle can be backed in ªRº.

them.
3) Check that engine starts in ªNº and ªPº ranges but it doesn't start
in ªDº, ª2º, ªLº or ªRº range. Also, check that back-up lamp lights
in ªRº range.
4) If faulty condition cannot be corrected by adjustment, discon-
nect transmission range switch coupler and check that continu-
ity exists as shown by moving select lever.

other range from ªPº range position when ignition switch key is
at ªACCº position, at ªLOCKº position (or it is removed from key-
hole of ignition switch) or brake pedal is not depressed.
2) Shift select lever to ªPº range position, release knob button and
check for the following.

With shift lock solenoid rod (or manual release plate) moved
in arrow direction and ignition key turned to ªACCº position, se-
lect lever can be shifted from ªPº range position to any other
range.

With shift lock solenoid rod (or manual release plate) moved
in arrow direction and ignition key turned to ªLOCKº position,
select lever can not be shifted from ªPº range position to any
other range.

When ignition switch is turned ªONº and brake pedal is de-
pressed, select lever can be shifted from ªPº range position to
any other range.
3) With select lever shifted to any position other than ªPº range,
check that ignition key cannot be turned ªLOCKº position and it
cannot be removed from ignition switch unless it is at ªLOCKº
position.
