DESCRIPTION•Engine noise under hood.
POSSIBLE
CAUSE•Engine internal damage
•Timing belt displacement
•Fuel injector malfunction
•Loose attaching bolts or worn parts
•Improper drive belt tension
•Air leakage from intake-air system
•Incorrect injection timing
•Erratic signal from CKP sensor
•Erratic signal from CMP sensor
•Fuel pressure sensor or related circuit malfunction
•Boost sensor or related circuit malfunction
•Accelerator position sensor or related circuit malfunction
•MAF/IAT sensor or related circuit malfunction

Warning
The following troubleshooting flow chart contains the fuel system diagnosis and repair
procedures. Read the following warnings before performing the fuel system services:
•Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep
sparks and flames away from fuel.
•Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injury or death
and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete “BEFORE
REPAIR PROCEDURE” and “AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE” described in this manual.
Note
•PCM checks fuel injection amount during a set interval while idling, and automatically corrects it to
maintain engine efficiency. It is normal that engine noise and vibration might be a little louder during
this process.

CENTRIFUGAL BALANCE CLUTCH DESCRIPTIONA6E571401030208Function
•The centrifugal balance clutch, which replaces the conventional piston check ball, cancels centrifugal oil
pressure generated during clutch drum rotation to prevent the clutch drag-engagement and to stabilize piston
pressure during full rotation.
Construction/Operation
•Centrifugal balance clutch chambers are installed opposite the clutch chambers in the low and high clutches.
The centrifugal balance clutch chambers are constantly filled with ATF from the exclusive hydraulic passage of
the oil pump.
AMU0517S018

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
K2–43

When the clutch pressure is not applied
•When the clutch drum rotates, centrifugal force acts on the residual ATF in the clutch chamber to push against
the piston. However, centrifugal force also acts on the ATF filled in the centrifugal balance clutch chamber to
push back the piston. As a result, the two forces are eliminated and the piston remains stationary, thus
preventing clutch engagement.
When the clutch pressure is applied
•When clutch pressure is applied to the clutch chamber, the clutch pressure overcomes the oil pressure and the
spring force in the opposite centrifugal balance clutch chamber, and pushes the piston to engage the clutches.
Because the centrifugal force acting on the clutch pressure in the clutch chamber is canceled by another
centrifugal force acting on the ATF filled in the centrifugal balance clutch chamber, the influence of the
centrifugal force created by the clutch drum revolution speed is eliminated. As a result, stable piston pushing
force is obtained in all rotation ranges, and smoother shifts can be made.
End Of SieCONTROL VALVE BODY DESCRIPTIONA6E571421100201Outline
•The control valve body is composed of four bodies: the sub lower body, lower body, internal body, and the upper
body.
•To minimize the component in the control valve body, clutch engagement is electronically controlled, hydraulic
circuits were simplified and the valve types reduced.

ON/OFF type (two-way)
Normal low
•De-energized (OFF)
—The TCM does not apply an electric current to the solenoid valves. The rod moves upward by hydraulic
pressure and the drain port opens.
•Energized (ON)
—The TCM applies an electric current to the solenoid valves. This excites the coil and forces the rod to move
downward to retain hydraulic pressure.

MECHANICAL SYSTEM TESTA6E571401030209Mechanical System Test Preparation
1. Apply the parking brake and use wheel chocks at the front and rear of the wheels.
2. Inspect the engine coolant. (See Section E.)
3. Inspect the engine oil. (See D–8 ENGINE OIL INSPECTION.)
4. Inspect the ATF levels. (See K2–79 Automatic Transaxle Fluid (ATF) Level Inspection.)
5. Inspect the idle speed and ignition timing in P position. (See F1–22 IDLE SPEED INSPECTION (4WD).)
Line Pressure Test
Note
•Line pressure cannot be measured on the JA5AX-EL automatic transaxle. Measure the low clutch
pressure in place of D and M range line pressures. Measure the reverse clutch pressure in place of R
position line pressure.
1. Engine idling.
(1) Perform mechanical system test preparation. (See K2–72 Mechanical System Test Preparation.)
Warning
•Removing the plug when the ATF is hot can be dangerous. Hot ATF can come out of the opening
and badly burn you. Before removing the square-head plug, allow the ATF to cool.
(2) Remove the plug and O-ring shown in the
figure.
