(b) 2 position test:
Shift into the 2 position and fully depress the accelerator pedal and check the following points.
(1) Check up-shift operation.
Check that the 1 " 2 up-shift takes place and that the shift point conforms to the automatic shift
schedule (see page 03-51).
HINT:
There is no 3rd up-shift and lock-up in the 2 position.
(2) Check engine braking.
While running in the 2 position and 2nd gear, release the accelerator pedal and check the engine
braking effect.
(3) Check for abnormal noise during acceleration and deceleration, and for shock at up-shift and
down-shift.
(c) L position test:
Shift into the L position and fully depress the accelerator pedal and check the following points.
(1) Check no up-shift.
While running in the L position, check that there is no up-shift to 2nd gear.
HINT:
There is no lock-up in the L position.
(2) Check engine braking.
While running in the L position, release the accelerator pedal and check the engine braking ef-
fect.
(3) Check for abnormal noise during acceleration and deceleration.
(d) R position test:
Shift into the R position, lightly depress the accelerator pedal, and check that the vehicle moves back-
ward without any abnormal noise or vibration.
CAUTION:
Before conducting this test ensure that the test area is free from people and obstruction.
(e) P position test:
Stop the vehicle on the grade (more than 5°) and after shifting into the P position, release the parking
brake. Then, check that the parking lock pawl holds the vehicle in place.

SOURCE VOLTAGE DROP
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The SRS is equipped with a voltage-increase circuit (DC-DC converter) in the airbag sensor assy center
in case the source voltage drops.
When the battery voltage drops, the voltage-increase circuit (DC-DC converter) functions to increase the
voltage of the SRS to normal voltage.
A malfunction in this circuit is displayed differently from other codes. The source voltage drop is indicated
when the SRS warning light comes on without showing any DTCs.
A malfunction in this circuit is not recorded in the airbag sensor assy center. The SRS warning light automati-
cally goes off when the source voltage returns to normal.
DTC No.Diagnosis

SRS WARNING LIGHT CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION (ALWAYS LIGHT
UP, WHEN DTC IS NOT OUTPUT.)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The SRS warning light is located on the combination meter.
When the SRS is normal, the SRS warning light lights up for approx. 6 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned from the LOCK position to ON position, and then turns off automatically.
If there is a malfunction in the SRS, the SRS warning light lights up to inform the driver of the abnormality.
When terminals Tc and CG of the DLC3 are connected, the DTC is displayed by blinking the SRS warning
light.
