+When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or
from TCM, take care not to damage pin terminals (bend or
break).
Make sure that there are not any bends or breaks on TCM
pin terminal, when connecting pin connectors.

+Before replacing TCM, perform TCM input/output signal
inspection and make sure whether TCM functions prop-
erly or not. (See page AT-118.)

+After performing each TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS, perform
ªDTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) CONFIRMATION PROCE-
DUREº.
The DTC should not be displayed in the ªDTC CONFIRMA-
TION PROCEDUREº if the repair is completed.
+Before proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the out-
side of the transaxle. It is important to prevent the internal parts
from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
+Disassembly should be done in a clean work area.
+Use lint-free cloth or towels for wiping parts clean. Common
shop rags can leave fibers that could interfere with the opera-
tion of the transaxle.
+Place disassembled parts in order for easier and proper
assembly.
+All parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose,
non-flammable solvent before inspection or reassembly.
+Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the
transaxle is disassembled.
+It is very important to perform functional tests whenever they
are indicated.
+The valve body contains precision parts and requires extreme
care when parts are removed and serviced. Place disas-
sembled valve body parts in order for easier and proper
assembly. Care will also prevent springs and small parts from
becoming scattered or lost.
+Properly installed valves, sleeves, plugs, etc. will slide along
bores in valve body under their own weight.
+Before assembly, apply a coat of recommended ATF to all
PRECAUTIONS
Precautions (Cont'd)
AT-8

The torque converter should not be replaced if:
+The fluid has an odor, is discolored, and there is no evidence of metal or clutch facing particles.
+The threads in one or more of the converter bolt holes are damaged.
+Transaxle failure did not display evidence of damaged or worn internal parts, steel particles or clutch plate
lining material in unit and inside the fluid filter.
+Vehicle has been exposed to high mileage (only). The exception may be where the torque converter clutch
dampener plate lining has seen excess wear by vehicles operated in heavy and/or constant traffic, such
as taxi, delivery or police use.
EURO-OBD SELF-DIAGNOSIS Ð EURO-OBD ÐNJAT0247S04+A/T self-diagnosis is performed by the TCM in combination with the ECM. The results can be read through
the blinking pattern of the O/D OFF indicator or the malfunction indicator (MI). Refer to the table on AT-55
for the indicator used to display each self-diagnostic result.
+The self-diagnostic results indicated by the MI are automatically stored in both the ECM and TCM memo-
ries.
Always perform the procedure ªHOW TO ERASE DTCº on AT-52 to complete the repair and avoid
unnecessary blinking of the MI.
+The following self-diagnostic items can be detected using ECM self-diagnostic results mode* only when
the O/D OFF indicator lamp does not indicate any malfunctions.
þ PNP switch
þ A/T 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th gear function
*: For details of EURO-OBD, refer to EC-59, ªON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONº.
+Certain systems and components, especially those related to EURO-OBD, may use a new style
slide-locking type harness connector.
For description and how to disconnect, refer to EL-6, ªHARNESS CONNECTORº.

CONSULT-IINJAT0022After performing ªSELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (WITH CON-
SULT-II)º (AT-39), place check marks for results on the ªDIAGNOS-
TIC WORKSHEETº, AT-71. Reference pages are provided follow-
ing the items.
NOTICE:
1) The CONSULT-II electrically displays shift timing and lock-up
timing (that is, operation timing of each solenoid).
Check for time difference between actual shift timing and the
CONSULT-II display. If the difference is noticeable, mechani-
cal parts (except solenoids, sensors, etc.) may be malfunction-
ing. Check mechanical parts using applicable diagnostic pro-
cedures.
2) Shift schedule (which implies gear position) displayed on
CONSULT-II and that indicated in Service Manual may differ
slightly. This occurs because of the following reasons:
+Actual shift schedule has more or less tolerance or allowance,
+Shift schedule indicated in Service Manual refers to the point
where shifts start, and
+Gear position displayed on CONSULT-II indicates the point
where shifts are completed.
3) Shift solenoid valve ªAº or ªBº is displayed on CONSULT-II at
the start of shifting. Gear position is displayed upon completion
of shifting (which is computed by TCM).
4) Additional CONSULT-II information can be found in the Opera-
tion Manual supplied with the CONSULT-II unit.

IntroductionNJAT0251The A/T system has two self-diagnostic systems.
The first is the emission-related on board diagnostic system (EURO-OBD) performed by the TCM in combi-
nation with the ECM. The malfunction is indicated by the MI (malfunction indicator) and is stored as a DTC in
the ECM memory but not the TCM memory.
The second is the TCM original self-diagnosis indicated by the O/D OFF indicator lamp. The malfunction is
stored in the TCM memory. The detected items are overlapped with EURO-OBD self-diagnostic items. For
detail, refer to AT-55.
EURO-OBD Function for A/T SystemNJAT0252The ECM provides emission-related on board diagnostic (EURO-OBD) functions for the A/T system. One
function is to receive a signal from the TCM used with EURO-OBD-related parts of the A/T system. The sig-
nal is sent to the ECM when a malfunction occurs in the corresponding EURO-OBD-related part. The other
function is to indicate a diagnostic result by means of the MI (malfunction indicator) on the instrument panel.
Sensors, switches and solenoid valves are used as sensing elements.
The MI automatically illuminates in One or Two Trip Detection Logic when a malfunction is sensed in relation
to A/T system parts.
One or Two Trip Detection Logic of EURO-OBDNJAT0253ONE TRIP DETECTION LOGICNJAT0253S01If a malfunction is sensed during the first test drive, the MI will illuminate and the malfunction will be stored
in the ECM memory as a DTC. The TCM is not provided with such a memory function.
TWO TRIP DETECTION LOGICNJAT0253S02When a malfunction is sensed during the first test drive, it is stored in the ECM memory as a 1st trip DTC
(diagnostic trouble code) or 1st trip freeze frame data. At this point, the MI will not illuminate. Ð First Trip
If the same malfunction as that experienced during the first test drive is sensed during the second test drive,
the MI will illuminate. Ð Second Trip
A/T-related parts for which the MI illuminates during the first or second test drive are listed below.
ItemsMI
One trip detection Two trip detection
Shift solenoid valve A Ð DTC: P0750 X
Shift solenoid valve B Ð DTC: P0755 X
Throttle position sensor or switch Ð DTC: P1705 X
Except aboveX
The ªtripº in the ªOne or Two Trip Detection Logicº means a driving mode in which self-diagnosis is performed
during vehicle operation.
EURO-OBD Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)NJAT0254HOW TO READ DTC AND 1ST TRIP DTCNJAT0254S01DTC and 1st trip DTC can be read by the following methods.
(
with CONSULT-II orGST)CONSULT-II or GST (Generic Scan Tool) Examples: P0705, P0710, P0720,
P0725, etc.
These DTCs are prescribed by SAE J2012.
(CONSULT-II also displays the malfunctioning component or system.)
+1st trip DTC No. is the same as DTC No.
+Output of the diagnostic trouble code indicates that the indicated circuit has a malfunction.
However, in case of the Mode II and GST they do not indicate whether the malfunction is still
occurring or occurred in the past and returned to normal.
CONSULT-II can identify them as shown below. Therefore, using CONSULT-II (if available) is rec-
ommended.
A sample of CONSULT-II display for DTC is shown in the following page. DTC or 1st trip DTC of a malfunc-
tion is displayed in SELF DIAGNOSIS mode for ªENGINEº with CONSULT-II. Time data indicates how many
times the vehicle was driven after the last detection of a DTC.
