SIGNAL CIRCUIT
1. ECM 3. TCM coupler (viewed from harness side)
2. TCM 4. ECM coupler (viewed from harness side)
DTC DETECTING CONDITION
Engine coolant temperature/barometric pressure signal voltage too low although A/T fluid temperature is
normal operating temperature and engine rev. is standard.
Step Action Yes No
1 Check DTC referring to “ENGINE DIAGNOSIS”
in Section 6.
Is any DTC detected?Inspect and repair refer-
ring to DTC flow table in
Section 6.Go to Step 2.
2 1) Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect
TCM and ECM couplers.
2) Measure resistance between terminal “C44-
18” of disconnected harness side TCM cou-
pler and body ground.
Is it infinity?Go to Step 3.“WHT/BLK” wire shorted
to ground.
3 1) Turn ignition switch OFF and connect TCM
couplers.
2) Turn ignition switch ON and check voltage
between terminal “C44-18” and body
ground.
Is it 0V?Substitute a known-good
TCM and recheck.Substitute a know-good
ECM and recheck.

INSPECTION OF TCM AND ITS CIRCUITS
TCM and its circuits can be checked at TCM wiring couplers by
measuring voltage and resistance.
INSPECTION
1) Remove TCM from vehicle referring to “TRANSMISSION
CONTROL MODULE” in this section.
2) Connect TCM couplers to TCM.
3) Check voltage at each terminal of couplers connected.CAUTION:
TCM cannot be checked by itself, it is strictly prohibited
to connect voltmeter or ohmmeter to TCM with coupler
disconnected from it.
NOTE:
As each terminal voltage is affected by the battery volt-
age, confirm that it is 11 V or more when ignition switch
is ON.

FLUID LEVEL AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERA-
TURE
INSPECTION
1) Stop vehicle and place it level.
2) Apply parking brake and place chocks against wheels.
3) With selector at P position, start engine.
4) Warm up engine till fluid temperature reaches normal oper-
ating temperature (70 – 80°C/158 – 176°F). As a guide to
check fluid temperature, warm up engine to normal operat-
ing temperature.
5) Keep engine idling and shift selector slowly to L and back to
P position.
6) With engine idling, pull out dipstick, wipe it off with a clean
cloth and put it back into place.
7) Pull out dipstick (1) again and check fluid level indicated on
it. Fluid level should be between FULL HOT and LOW HOT.
If it is below LOW HOT, add an equivalent of DEXRON
®-III
or DEXRON
®-IIE up to FULL HOT.
A/T fluid specification
: An equivalent of DEXRON
®-III or DEXRON®-IIE
NOTE:
 DO NOT RACE ENGINE while checking fluid level, even
after the engine start.
 DO NOT OVERFILL. Overfilling can cause foaming and
loss of fluid through breather. Then slippage and
transmission failure can result.
 Bringing the level from LOW HOT to FULL HOT
requires 0.35 liters (0.74/0.62 US/Imp. pt).
 If vehicle was driven under high load such as pulling a
trailer, fluid level should be checked about half an hour
after it is stopped.

FLUID LEVEL AT ROOM TEMPERATURE
INSPECTION
The fluid level check at room temperature performed after repair
or fluid change before test driving is just preparation for level
check of normal operation temperature. The checking procedure
itself is the same as that described previously. If the fluid level is
between FULL COLD and LOW COLD, proceed to test drive. And
when the fluid temperature has reached the normal operating
temperature, check fluid again and adjust it as necessary.
FLUID CHANGE
1) Lift up vehicle.
2) When engine has cooled down, remove drain plug (1) from
oil pan and drain A/T fluid.
3) Install drain plug.

INSTALLATION
1) Using flat tip screwdriver, turn transmission range sensor to
have the match marks (1) line up (transmission range sensor
“N” range).
2) Turn selector lever (1) to “N” range (to have the automatic
transmission to “N” range).
3) Install transmission range sensor (1) to transmission case.
Tightening torque
Transmission range sensor bolt
(a) : 18 N·m (1.8 kg-m, 13.0 lb-ft)
4) Move selector lever in cabin to each range and check the
continuity of each terminal of transmission range sensor
referring to “INSPECTION”.
5) Connect transmission range sensor coupler.
6) Check that the engine can only be started in “N” and “P”
range, but can not in “D”, “2”, “L” or “R” range. Also, check
that backup lamp come ON at “R” range.

LEARNING CONTROL INITIALIZATION
When one or more operations such as shown below are per-
formed, all learned contents which are stored in TCM memory
should be erased after the operations.
Replacing transmission with new or used one.
Repairing transmission partially by replacing any brake com-
ponent parts with new and/or used brake disc(s), plate(s)
and/or flange.
Repairing transmission partially by replacing any clutch com-
ponent parts with new and/or used clutch disc(s), plate(s)
and/or flange.
Replacing TCM with used one.
1) Turn ignition switch ON, leaving engine OFF.
2) Using service wire, connect diagnosis switch terminal (2)
with ground terminal (3) of monitor connector No.2 (1).
3) Shift selector lever from “D” range to “2” range 3 times
repeatedly within 10 seconds with diagnosis switch terminal
(2) kept on connecting with ground.
4) Check DTC referring to “DTC CHECK” in this section and
confirm that only DTC No.12 is displayed.
If not, repeat Step 1) to Step 3) and check again.
BRAKE INTERLOCK SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID CONTROL
This system consists of shift lock solenoid control system and
interlock cable control system.
The shift lock solenoid control system is so designed that the
selector lever can not be shifted from “P” range position unless
ignition switch is turned ON and the brake pedal is depressed.
And interlock cable control system is so designed that select lever
cannot be shifted from “P” range position unless ignition switch is
turned to “ACC” or “ON” position. Also, ignition key cannot be
pulled out of key slot unless selector lever is in “P” range. NOTE:
 “O/D OFF” lamp lights during initializing.
 Diagnostic trouble code(s) (DTC(s)) also are erased by
performing this initializing procedure.
 After initializing is achieved, DTC No.12 is stored in
TCM. If initializing is failed, DTC No.52 is stored in
TCM.
