Release parking brake. Release accelerator pedal.
Check after engine is warmed up suffi-
ciently.Pin terminal check for SMJ type ECM
and TCM connectors.
For details regarding the terminal
arrangement, refer to the “ELEC-
TRICAL UNITS” electrical reference
page at the end of the manual. Voltage should be measured with a
voltmeter.
Circuit resistance should be measured
with an ohmmeter.
Current should be measured with an
ammeter.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
Harness Indication
●Letter designations next to test meter probe indicate harness
(connector) wire color.
●Connector numbers in a single circle M33 indicate harness con-
nectors.
Component Indication
Connector numbers in a double circle F211 indicate component connectors.
Switch Positions
Switches are shown in wiring diagrams as if the vehicle is in the “normal” condition.
A vehicle is in the “normal” condition when:
●ignition switch is “OFF”,
●doors, hood and trunk lid/back door are closed,
●pedals are not depressed, and
●parking brake is released.

CLUTCH PEDAL
FREE PLAT INSPECTION
●Press the clutch pedal by hand until certain resistance can be
felt. Using a scale, check that the free play is within the specified
range.
CLEARANCE CHECK
1. Start the engine and let it idle.
2. Apply parking brake.
3. Depress the brake pedal.
4. Fully depress clutch pedal and shift to 1st gear.
5. Release clutch pedal gradually. Stop releasing the pedal at the
point where the clutch is about to be engaged. Using a scale,
check the clearance between the clutch pedal and floor panel to
see if it is within the specified range.
NOTE:
Pedal height at clutch disengagement varies slightly from the clutch engagement point. Despite this, pedal
height at clutch engagement is commonly used for both cases in order to simplify the inspection.

A/T FLUIDPFP:KLE40
Checking A/T FluidECS004Q7
1. Warm up engine.
2. Check for fluid leakage.
3. Before driving, fluid level can be checked at fluid temperatures
of 30 to 50°C (86 to 122°F) using “COLD” range on dipstick.
a. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
b. Start engine and move selector lever through each gear posi-
tion. Leave selector lever in “P” position.
c. Check fluid level with engine idling.
d. Remove dipstick and note reading. If level is at low side of either
range, and fluid to the charging pipe.
e. Re-insert dipstick into charging pipe as far as it will go.
f. Remove dipstick and note reading. If reading is at low side of range, add fluid to the charging pipe.
Do not overfill.
4. Drive vehicle for approximately 5 minutes in urban areas.
5. Re-check fluid level at fluid temperatures of 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F) using “HOT” range on dipstick.
6. Check fluid condition.
●If fluid is very dark or smells burned, refer to AT section for
checking operation of A/T. Flush cooling system after repair of
A/T.
●If A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.),
replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent
and compressed air after repair of A/T. Refer to CO-11,
"RADIATOR" , CO-14, "RADIATOR (ALUMINUM TYPE)" .
Changing A/T FluidECS004Q8
1. Warm up A/T fluid.
2. Stop engine.
3. Drain A/T fluid from drain plug and refill with new A/T fluid.
Always refill same volume with drained fluid.
4. Run engine at idle speed for five minutes.
5. Check fluid level and condition. Refer to “Checking A/T Fluid”. If fluid is still dirty, repeat steps 2 through 5.

STALL TEST PROCEDURE
1. Check A/T fluid and engine oil levels. If necessary, add.
2. Drive vehicle for approx. 10 minutes or until fluid and oil reach
operating temperature.
3. Set parking brake and block wheels.
4. Install a tachometer where it can be seen by driver during test.
●It is good practice to mark the point of specified engine
rpm on indicator.
5. Start engine, apply foot brake, and place selector lever in D
position.

brake.
7. Quickly note the engine stall revolution and immediately release
throttle.
●During test, never hold throttle wide open for less than 5
seconds.
Stall revolution:
8. Move selector lever to “N” position.
9. Cool off ATF.
●Run engine at idle for at least one minute.
