•In the powertrain system, the hydraulic pressure transported by the control valve operates the clutch, and
brake, and the planetary gear changes the gear ratio according to the driving conditions.
Structure
•The powertrain system consists of seven pairs of clutches, brake, brake band, two pairs of one-way clutches,
and simple type planetary gears.

Memory Function
•The memory function stores failure information detected in the failure detection function. Once failure
information is stored, the memory will not be cleared even when the ignition switch is turned off (LOCK
position) or the malfunction is repaired.
•The stored memory (failure information) can be cleared by using the WDS or disconnecting the negative
battery cable.
Failure Indication Function
•The failure indication function illuminates the AT warning lights when the failure detection function determines
there is a malfunction.
DTC Table
X : Available
CCM:Continuous monitor
Fail-safe Function
•In the fail-safe function, minimum vehicle drivability is obtained by changing the signals that are determined as
malfunctions by the failure detection function to the preset values, and limiting the TCM control.

1. One way of determining whether the transaxle should be replaced is by noting:
•If the ATF is muddy or varnished.
•If the ATF smells strange or unusual.

Condition Possible cause
Clear dark red Normal—
Light red (pink) Contaminated with water•Broken oil cooler inside of radiator
•Poor filler tube installation:
Problem could be occurring to parts inside the
transaxle by water contamination. If necessary,
exchange transaxle.
Reddish
brownHas burnt smell and metal
specs are foundDeteriorated ATFDefect powertrain components inside of transaxle:
Specks cause wide range of problems by plugging up
in oil pipe, control valve body and oil cooler in radiator.
•When large amount of metal specks are found.
Exchange transaxle if necessary.
•Implement flushing operation as there is a
possibility to have specks plugging up oil pipe and/
or oil cooler inside of radiator.
Has no burnt smell Normal•Discoloration by oxidation
