STEP 1. CUSTOMER COMPLAINT ANALYSIS
Record details of the problem (failure, complaint) and how it occurred as described by the customer.
For this purpose, use of such a inspection form will facilitate collecting information to the point required for
proper analysis and diagnosis.
STEP 2. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)/FREEZE FRAME DATA CHECK, RECORD AND
CLEARANCE
First, referring to DTC check section, check DTC (including pending DTC). If DTC exists, print or write down
DTC and freeze frame data and then clear them by referring to DTC clearance section. DTC indicates malfunc-
tion in the system but it is not possible to know from it whether the malfunction is occurring now or it occurred in
the past and normal condition has been restored. In order to know that, check symptom in question according to
Step 5 and then recheck DTC according to Step 6.
Diagnosing a trouble based on the DTC in this step only or failure to clear the DTC in this step may result in an
faulty diagnosis, trouble diagnosis of a normal circuit or difficulty in troubleshooting which is otherwise unneces-
sary.
STEP 3 and STEP 4. VISUAL INSPECTION
As a preliminary step, be sure to perform visual check of the items that support proper function of the A/T and
engine referring to Visual Inspection section.
STEP 5. TROUBLE SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION
Check trouble symptoms based on information obtained in Step 1 “CUSTOMER COMPLAINT ANALYSIS” and
Step 2 “DTC/FREEZE FRAME DATA CHECK”.
Also, recheck DTC according to “DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE” described in each “DTC FLOW
TABLE”.
STEP 6 and STEP 7. RECHECKING AND RECORD OF DTC/FREEZE FRAME DATA
Refer to “DTC CHECK” in this section for checking procedure.
STEP 8. A/T BASIC CHECK AND TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS TABLE
Perform A/T basic check according to the “A/T Basic Check Flow Table” first. When the end of the flow table has
been reached, check the parts of the system suspected as a possible cause referring to “TROUBLE DIAGNO-
SIS TABLE” and based on symptoms appearing on the vehicle (symptoms obtained through steps of customer
complaint analysis, trouble symptom confirmation and/or A/T basic check) and repair or replace faulty parts, if
any.
STEP 9. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE FLOW TABLE
Based on the DTC indicated in Step 6 and 7 and referring to “DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE FLOW TABLE” in
this section, locate the cause of the trouble, namely in a sensor, switch, wire harness, connector, actuator, PCM
or other part and repair or replace faulty parts.11 Final Confirmation Test
1) Clear DTC if any.
2) Perform final confirmation test referring to
the next page.
Is there any problem symptom, DTC or abnor-
mal condition?Go to Step 6. End. Step Action Yes No

7B1-12 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (4 A/T)
STEP 10. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEM
Check parts where an intermittent trouble is easy to occur (e.g., wire harness, connector, etc.), referring to
“INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTION” in Section 0A and related circuit of DTC recorded in Step 2.
STEP 11. FINAL CONFIRMATION TEST
Confirm that the problem symptom has gone and the A/T is free from any abnormal conditions.
If what has been repaired is related to the malfunction DTC, clear the DTC once, set conditions under which
DTC was detected and A/T and/or vehicle was repaired and confirm that no DTC is indicated.
