MANUAL ROAD TEST
This test checks the gears being used in L, 2 or D range when driven
with unoperated gear shift control system.
Test drive vehicle on a level road.
1) With selector lever in P range, start engine and warm it up.
2) After warming up engine, disconnect coupler of solenoid valve
wire as shown in left figure.
3) With selector lever in L range, start vehicle and accelerate to
30 km / h (19 mile / h). Check in this state that 1st gear is being
used.
4) At 30 km / h (19 mile / h), shift selector lever to 2 range and accel-
erate to 60 km / h (37 mile / h).
Check in this state that 2nd gear is being used.
5) At 60 km / h (37 mile / h), shift selector lever to D range and check
that 3rd gear is used when speed is higher than 60 km / h
(37 mile / h).
6) After above checks, stop vehicle then engine, and connect sole-
noid valve wire coupler.
ENGINE BRAKE TEST
WARNING:
Before test, make sure that there is no vehicle behind so as
to prevent rear-end collision.
1) While driving vehicle in 3rd gear of D range, shift selector lever
down to 2 range and check if engine brake operates.
2) In the same way as in step 1), check engine brake for operation
when selector lever is shifted down to L range.
3) If engine brake fails to operate in above tests, possible cause for
such failure are as follows.
Check each part which is suspected to be the cause.
Condition
Possible causes
Fails to operate when
shifted down to 2 rangeSecond brake defective
Fails to operate when
shifted down to L range1st-reverse brake defective

1. Oiler (with transmission fluid)
2. Solenoid valve
3. 12V battery

“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.

7B-40 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (3 A / T) (VEHICLE WITH WU-TWC)
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).

3) Disconnect shift solenoid valve coupler from harness.
4) Apply 12 V to each terminal in solenoid valve coupler and check
to be sure that a click sound is heard from each of shift sole-
noid-A and -B.
If no click sound is heard, check lead wire and connections in oil
pan, and then replace applicable shift solenoid-A or B if wire and
connections are in good condition.
If click sound is heard from each of shift solenoids A and B, shift
solenoid electrical circuits are in good condition. Proceed to
“SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE CHECK” previously described in
this section.
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR CHECK
Check throttle position sensor and its circuit referring to DTC P0121
Flow Table in Section 6 or 6-1.
