End Of SieNO.22 NO ENGINE BRAKING IN 1GR POSITION OF M RANGEA6E578001030225
Diagnostic procedure
20 Noise occurs at idle when vehicle is stopped in all positions/ranges
DESCRIPTION•Transaxle noisy in all positions and ranges when vehicle idling.
POSSIBLE
CAUSE•Malfunction is in pressure solenoid or oil pump which causes a high-pitched noise to be emitted from
transaxle at idle.
Note
•If a noise is emitted during shifting only, malfunction is in shift solenoid A, B, or C.
•If a noise is emitted during shifting at certain gears only or during deceleration only, it is gear noise.
•Before following troubleshooting steps, make sure that Automatic Transaxle On-Board Diagnostic
and Automatic Transaxle Basic Inspection are conducted.
STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1•Inspect engine condition.
•Is any engine concern (e.g. Rough idle)?Yes Go to appropriate symptom troubleshooting.
(See F1–57 ENGINE SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING.)
No Replace basic inspection and repair or replace any
defective parts according to inspection result.
2•Verify test results.
—If okay, return to diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms.
—If malfunction remains, inspect related Service Informations and perform repair or diagnosis.
—If vehicle repaired, troubleshooting completed.
—If vehicle not repaired or additional diagnostic information not available, replace TCM.
21 Noise occurs at idle when vehicle is stopped in D range, or in R position
DESCRIPTION•Transaxle noisy in driving ranges when vehicle idling.
POSSIBLE
CAUSE•Although the malfunction is basically the same as No.20 “Noise occurs at idle when vehicle is stopped
in all positions/ranges”, other causes may be selector lever position disparity or TR switch position
disparity.
Note
•Before following troubleshooting steps, make sure that Automatic Transaxle On-Board Diagnostic
and Automatic Transaxle Basic Inspection are conducted.
22 No engine braking in 1GR position of M range
DESCRIPTION•Engine speed drops to idle but vehicle coasts when accelerator pedal released during cruising at
medium to high speeds.
•Engine speed drops to idle but vehicle coasts when accelerator pedal released when in M range (1GR)
at low vehicle speed.
POSSIBLE
CAUSE•Clutch slipped, burned (Reduction brake)
—Line pressure low
•Malfunction of VSS
•Malfunction of input/turbine speed sensor
•Malfunction of sensor ground
•Malfunction of control valve body
—M range switch on not judged by TCM (short, or open circuit, poor operation)
•Malfunction of M range switch signal
Note
•Before following troubleshooting steps, make sure that Automatic Transaxle On-Board Diagnostic
and Automatic Transaxle Basic Inspection are conducted.
STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1•Inspect TR switch adjustment.
•Does TR switch adjusted properly?
•Select PNP PID.
•Is PNP PID reading okay when selecting
range?Yes Go to next step.
No Adjust TR switch as necessary.
(See K2–83 TRANSAXLE RANGE (TR) SWITCH
ADJUSTMENT.)
Inspect TR switch.
Repair or replace any defective parts.

No Repair or replace any defective parts according to
inspection results.
2•Remove torque converter.
•Inspect torque converter.
(See ATX Workshop Manual.)
•Is torque converter okay?Yes•Inspect for bend, damage or kinks of oil cooler line
pipes. If okay, overhaul control valve body and repair or
replace any defective parts.
(See ATX Workshop Manual.)
•If problem remains, replace or overhaul transaxle and
repair or replace any defective parts.
(See ATX Workshop Manual.)
No Replace torque converter.
3•Verify test results.
—If okay, return to diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms.
—If malfunction remains, inspect related Service Informations and perform repair or diagnosis.
—If vehicle repaired, troubleshooting completed.
—If vehicle not repaired or additional diagnostic information not available, replace TCM.
25 Engine stalls when driving at slow speeds or stopping
DESCRIPTION•Engine stalls when brake pedal depressed while driving at low speed or stopping.
POSSIBLE
CAUSE•Malfunction is on engine control side (e.g. Fuel injection control, IAC system)
Note
•Before following troubleshooting steps, make sure that Automatic Transaxle On-Board Diagnostic
and Automatic Transaxle Basic Inspection are conducted.
STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1•Go to symptom troubleshooting No.10 “Low
idle/stalls during deceleration”.
(See Section F.)
•Is engine control system okay?Yes Go to symptom troubleshooting No.24 “Engine stalls when
shifted to D range, or in R position”.
No Repair or replace any defective parts according to
inspection results.
2•Verify test results.
—If okay, return to diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms.
—If malfunction remains, inspect related Service Informations and perform repair or diagnosis.
—If vehicle repaired, troubleshooting completed.
—If vehicle not repaired or additional diagnostic information not available, replace TCM.
26Starter does not work
DESCRIPTION•Starter does not work even when P or N position.
POSSIBLE
CAUSE•Selector lever misadjustment.
•TR switch misadjustment.
•Open or short circuit in TR switch.
27 Gear position indicator light does not illuminate in M range
DESCRIPTION•Gear position indicator light in instrument cluster does not illuminate in M range and ignition switch at
on.
POSSIBLE
CAUSE•M range switch, gear position indicator light or related wiring harness malfunction.
Note
•Before following troubleshooting steps, make sure that Automatic Transaxle On-Board Diagnostic
and Automatic Transaxle Basic Inspection are conducted.
STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1•Are other indicator lights illuminated with
ignition switch on? Yes Go to next step.
No Inspect meter fuse.

PROPELLER SHAFT INSPECTION ON VEHICLEA6E611025002204Joint Play Inspection
1. Move the joint shaft by hand, and verify that there is no play.
If there is play, perform the following service operations.
•Yoke : Universal joint replacement (See L–7 PROPELLER SHAFT DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY.)
•Constant velocity joint : Propeller shaft
replacement (See L–7 PROPELLER SHAFT
DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY.)

4WD CONTROL MODUREA6E632227100205Function
•The 4WD control modure (4WD CM) calculates the optimal amount of torque distribution for the rear wheels
and outputs a corresponding electric current to the electronic control coupling (4WD solenoid). This calculation
is based on the throttle angle, four-wheel speed, engine speed, selector lever position, and other related input
signals, matched with the vehicle driving and road surface conditions.
Functions
Construction
•The 4WD CM is installed to the left of the brake pedal (clutch pedal position).
Block diagram

Function name Contents
4WD system control
function•Based on each input signal, the electronic control current sent to the electronic control coupling
(4WD solenoid) is optimally controlled.
Diagnostic system•If the self-diagnostic system detects a malfunction, the 4WD warning light illuminates to alert
the driver, and at the same time the system suspends control or performs other measures to
prevent a loss of driving stability and protect the system.
•The detected malfunction is stored as a DTC in the 4WD CM.

PRECAUTION (FRONT AND REAR AXLE)A6E631001018201Wheel and Tire Removal/Installation
1. The removal and installation procedures for the wheels and tires are not mentioned in this section. When a
wheel is removed, tighten it to 88—118 N·m {9.0—12.0 kgf·m, 65.0—87.0 ft·lbf}
Brake Line Disconnection/Connection
Caution
•Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces. If brake fluid gets on a painted surface, wipe it off
immediately.
1. Tighten the brake pipe flare nut using the SST (49 0259 770B). Be sure to modify the brake pipe flare nut
tightening torque to allow for use of a torque wrench-SST combination.
2. If any brake line has been disconnected any time during the procedure, add brake fluid, bleed the brakes, and
inspect for leakage after the procedure has been completed.
Suspension Arm Removal/Installation
1. Tighten any part of the suspension that uses rubber bushings only after vehicle has been lowered and
unloaded.
Note
•Unloaded: Fuel tank is full. Engine coolant and engine oil are at specified level. Spare tire, jack, and tools
are in designated position.
Connector Disconnection
1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable before disconnecting connectors.
Electronic Control 4WD System Parts
1. After servicing the electronic control 4WD system parts, verify that no DTC has been stored. Clear any DTCs
remaining in the memory.
