ROAD TEST
1. PROBLEM SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION
Based on the result of the customer problem analysis, try to reproduce the symptoms. If the problem is that
the transaxle does not shift up, shift down, or the shift point is too high or too low, conduct the following road
test referring to the automatic shift schedule and simulate the problem symptoms.
2. ROAD TEST
NOTICE:
Perform the test at the normal operating ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) temperature: 50 to 80°C
(122 to 176°F).

to the automatic shift schedule (See page SS±24).
HINT:
5th Gear Up±shift Prohibition Control

Engine coolant temperature is 55 °C (131 °F) or less and vehicle speed is at 51 km/h (32 mph) or less.

Check vehicle speeds when the 2nd to 1st, 3rd to 2nd, 4th to 3rd, and 5th to 4th kick±downs take
place while driving with the shift lever in the D position. Confirm that each speed is within the
applicable vehicle speed range indicated in the automatic shift schedule (See page SS±24).

PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
HINT:
If a normal code is displayed during the diagnostic trouble code check although the trouble still occurs, check
the electrical circuits for each symptom in the order given in the charts on the following pages and proceed
to the page given for troubleshooting.
The Matrix Chart is divided into 3 chapters.
1. Chapter 1: Electronic Circuit Matrix Chart
Refer to the table below when the trouble cause is considered to be electrical.
If the instruction ºProceed to next circuit inspection shown on matrix chartº is given in the flow chart
of each circuit, proceed to the circuit with the next highest number in the table to continue the check.
If the trouble still occurs even though there are no abnormalities in any of the other circuits, check and
replace the ECM.

DTC P0724 Brake Switch ºBº Circuit High
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this circuit is to prevent the engine from stalling while driving in lock±up condition when
brakes are suddenly applied.
When the brake pedal is depressed, this switch sends a signal to the ECM. Then the ECM cancels the opera-
tion of the lock±up clutch while braking is in progress.
DTC No.DTC Detection ConditionTrouble Area
P0724
The stop light switch remains ON even when the vehicle is
driven in a STOP (less than 3 km/h (2 mph)) and GO (30 km/h
(19 mph) or more) fashion 5 times. (2±trip detection logic).
Short in stop light switch signal circuit

Stop light switch

ECM
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates that the stop light switch remains on. When the stop light switch remains ON during ºstop
and goº driving, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the stop light switch and the MIL comes on and the ECM
stores the DTC. The vehicle must stop (less than 3 km/h (2 mph)) and go (30 km/h (19 mph) or more) ten
times for two driving cycles in order to detect a malfunction.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Performing the ACTIVE TEST using the hand±held tester allows the relay, VSV, actuator and so on to oper-
ate without parts removal. Performing the ACTIVE TEST as the first step of troubleshooting is one method
to shorten labor time.
It is possible to display the DATA LIST during the ACTIVE TEST.
(a) Warm up the engine.
(b) Turn the ignition switch off.
(c) Connect the hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(d) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(e) Turn on the tester.
(f) Select the item ºDIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TESTº.
(g) According to the display on the tester, perform the ºACTIVE TESTº.
ItemTest DetailsDiagnostic Note
LOCK UP
[Test Details]
Control the shift solenoid SLU to set the automatic transmission to the
lock±up condition.
[Vehicle Condition]

Throttle valve opening angle: Less than 35 %

Vehicle Speed: 60 km/h (37 mph) or more
Possible to check the SLU opera-
tion.
HINT:

This test can be conducted when the vehicle speed is 60 km/h (37 mph) or more.

This test can be conducted in the 5th gear.

Lightly depress the accelerator pedal and check that the engine speed does not change abruptly.
HINT:

When changing the accelerator pedal opening angle while driving, if the engine speed does not
change, lock±up is on.

Slowly release, but not fully, the accelerator pedal in order to decelerate. (Fully releasing the pedal will
close the throttle valve and lock±up may be turned off automatically.)
