1. Make sure the vehicle is level.
2. Shift into all range from P to 1 and return to P with engine idling.
3. Remove the transaxle fluid dipstick and check the transaxle fluid level.
IMPORTANT: When adding fluid or making a complet fluid change, always use T-IV
Automatic Transmission Fluid.
IMPORTANT: Measure the fluid level when the transaxle temperature is 70°C-80°C (158°
F-176°F).
IMPORTANT: During the fluid level check, the selector lever must be in position P.

DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AND PROCEDURES
DIAGNOSTIC STARTING POINT - INSTRUMENT PANEL, GAGES AND CONSOLE
Begin the system diagnosis by reviewing the Symptoms
- Instrument Panel, Gages and Console . Reviewing
the symptom information will help you determine the correct symptom diagnostic procedure when a
malfunction exists.
DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
1: Lack of communication may be due to a malfunction of the serial data circuits. The specified
procedure will determine the particular condition.
3: The presence of DTCs may be related to an engine electrical condition. The specified procedure will
compile all the available information before tests are performed.

reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating
conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze
Frame and updates the Failure Records.
The fuel gage defaults to empty.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The control module turns OFF the MIL after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and
does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other
emission related diagnostic.
Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
A poor connection or damaged harness-Inspect ECM harness connectors for the following:
Backed out terminals
Improper mating
Broken locks
Poor wire to terminal connections
Intermittent test-Monitor a scan tool or digital voltmeter connected between the related circuits while
moving the connectors and harnesses. If the failure is induced, the voltage reading will change. This will
help locate a circuit condition. Refer to the following:
Intermittent Conditions
in Engine Controls - 1.6L (L91)
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
2: This step determines if the fault is present.
3: This step determines if the fuel level sensor signal and ground circuits are OK.

Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.
Diagnostic Aids
Use the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data in order to locate an intermittent condition. If you
cannot duplicate the DTC, the information included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data may
aid in determining the number of miles since the DTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass Counter can also aid
in determining the number of ignition cycles that the diagnostic reported a pass and/or fail. Operate the
vehicle within the same freeze frame conditions (RPM, engine load, vehicle speed, temperature, etc.).
This will isolate when the DTC failed.

The control module stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails.
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate.
The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module
stores this information in the Failure Records.
The driver information center, if equipped, may display a message.
