TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR (SHIFT SWITCH)
Being linked with the selector lever, this sensor changes selector
lever positions into electric signals and send them to the engine
control module. The contact points of this sensor for P and N ranges
are also connected with the starting motor circuit.
So when the selector lever is shifted to the P or N range position,
the contact points for P or N range are connected and cause the
starting motor to operate by turning the starter switch ON.
When the selector lever is in any other position than P and N
ranges, the sensor remains OFF and therefore the starting motor
cannot be operated, that is, the engine cannot be started.
Also, as its contact point for R range is connected with the backup
lamp circuit, only when the selector lever is shifted to R range, the
contact point contacts to light the backup lamp.
DIRECT CLUTCH AND 2ND BRAKE SOLENOID
VALVES
These solenoid valves are mounted on the valve body. They are
turned ON and OFF by the signals from the engine control module
and actuate each shift valve (1 – 2 and 2 – 3 valves) so as to control
transmission gear shift.
Shift solenoid-B (2nd brake solenoid valve) operates 1 – 2 shift
valve, and shift solenoid-A (direct clutch solenoid valve) does 2 –
3 shift valve.

OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR (A / T VSS)
The output shaft speed sensor consists of a magnetic core with
magnet and coil. It is mounted on transmission case with 0.6 mm
(0.024 in.) air gap between the core end and countershaft gear
tooth.
While the countershaft rotates, magnetic flux is cut by gear tooth
thus a pulse is generated in the sensor coil according to the speed.
And then, the pulse is transmitted to engine control module as
speed signal.
AUTOMATIC SHIFT DIAGRAM
Automatic shift schedule as a result of shift control is shown below. In case that selector lever is shifted to L range
at a higher than 37 km / h (23 mile / h) (G10 engine model), 40 km / h (25 mile / h) (G13 engine model) speed, 2nd
gear is operated and then down shifts to 1st at a speed lower than that. No up shift is available in L range.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
PCM monitors throttle opening, engine speed, vehicle speed and gear position and compares the actual engine
speed and its specified value (i.e., engine speed obtained by PCM through calculation using the throttle open-
ing / gear position and vehicle speed).
DTC DETECTING CONDITION
POSSIBLE CAUSE
While running in “D” range after engine warmed up,
engine speed as compared with vehicle speed is not
within acceptable range.
2 driving cycle detection logic, continuous
monitoring.A / T oil pressure control cable maladjusted
Selector cable maladjusted
Mechanical malfunction of shift solenoid valve
(stick or leakage)
Mechanical malfunction in transmission
Torque converter malfunction
DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
WARNING:
When performing a road test, select a place where there is no traffic or possibility of a traffic accident
and be very careful during testing to avoid occurrence of an accident.
Road test should be carried out with 2 persons, a driver and a tester, on a level road.
1) Turn ignition switch OFF.
2) Clear DTC with ignition switch ON and warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
3) Shift selector lever to “D” range.
4) Start vehicle and increase vehicle speed to 40 – 55 km / h ( 25 – 35 mile / h) by depressing accelerator pedal half
a stroke.
5) Keep vehicle at above speed for 5 sec. or longer.
6) Increase vehicle speed to 75 – 90 km / h (45 – 55 mile / h) by depressing accelerator pedal half a stroke and keep
it at that speed for 5 sec. or longer.
7) Stop vehicle and check pending DTC and DTC.

“P” RANGE TEST
1) Stop vehicle on a slope, shift selector lever to P range and at the
same time apply parking brake.
2) After stopping engine, release parking brake lever gradually and
check that vehicle remains stationary.
SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE CHECK
Whenever shift solenoid valves are removed from transmission,
verify their valve function physically before they are reinstalled.
1) Apply oiler to solenoid valve and give compression by hands
and then check to be sure that transmission fluid from oiler does
not come out from side holes of solenoid valve when battery volt-
age is not conducted.
2) Holding the above condition, conduct battery voltage and then
make sure that fluid is exhausted with vigor.
NOTE:
If fluid does not come out with vigor in above step 2) inspec-
tion, do not reuse that solenoid valve.

Separately from the above inspection, output shaft speed sensor
itself can be checked on its resistance by disconnecting coupler.
NOTE:
Function of output shaft speed sensor can be checked by
measuring generated pulse as voltage.
For its measurement, use an analog type voltmeter while
spinning wheels on lift and with selector lever in “D” range.
Output shaft speed sensor specifications
Coil resistance100 – 300 Ω
Output voltage at 40 km / h
(25 mile / h)Approximately 1 V
SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE CIRCUIT CHECK
1) With ignition switch turned OFF, disconnect PCM couplers.
2) Bring ohmmeter probes in touch with coupler terminals from har-
ness side and measure each resistance.
Resistance between C02-9 and C02-1
for G10 engine model (C03-4 and
C01-1 for G13 engine model)
(Shift solenoid-A, direct clutch) : 8 – 20 Ω
Resistance between C02-8 and C02-1
for G10 engine model (C03-11 and
C01-1 for G13 engine model)
(Shift solenoid-B, 2nd brake) : 8 – 20 Ω
If resistance is out of specification, check shift solenoid itself for
resistance (referring to Step 3 of DTC P0753 / P0756 Flow Table)
and wire harness for open or short.
If resistance is within specification, proceed to step 3).
