TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS Ð Introduction
Diagnostic Worksheet (Cont'd)
AT-24

A/T Fluid Check
FLUID LEAKAGE CHECK
1. Clean area suspected of leaking. Ð for example, mating sur-
face of converter housing and transmission case.
2. Start engine, apply foot brake, place selector lever in ªDº posi-
tion and wait a few minutes.
3. Stop engine.
4. Check for fresh leakage.
FLUID CONDITION CHECK
Fluid color Suspected problem
Dark or black with burned odor Wear of frictional material
Milky pinkWater contamination Ð Road water enter-
ing through filler tube or breather
Varnished fluid, light to dark
brown and tackyOxidation Ð Over or under filling, Ð Over-
heating
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Refer to MA section (ªChecking A/T Fluidº, ªCHASSIS AND BODY
MAINTENANCEº).
Stall Test
STALL TEST PROCEDURE
1. Check A/T and engine fluid levels. If necessary, add.
2. Drive vehicle for approx. 10 minutes or until engine oil and ATF
reach operating temperature.
ATF operating temperature:
50 - 80ÉC (122 - 176ÉF)
3. Set parking brake and block wheels.
4. Install a tachometer where it can be seen by driver during test.
IIt is good practice to put a mark on point of specified
engine rpm on indicator.
5. Start engine, apply foot brake, and place selector lever in ªDº
position.
6. Accelerate to wide open throttle gradually while applying foot
brake.
7. Quickly note the engine stall revolution and immediately
release throttle.
IDuring test, never hold throttle wide open for more than 5
seconds.
Stall revolution:
2,450 - 2,700 rpm

4. Set parking brake and block wheels.
IContinue to depress brake pedal fully while line pressure
test is being performed at stall speed.
5. Start engine and measure line pressure at idle and stall speed.
IWhen measuring line pressure at stall speed, follow the
stall test procedure.
Line pressure:
Refer to SDS, AT-196.
JUDGEMENT OF LINE PRESSURE TEST
Judgement Suspected parts
At idleLine pressure is low in all
positions.IOil pump wear

IPressure regulator valve or plug sticking
ISpring for pressure regulator valve damaged
IA/T fluid pressure leakage between oil strainer and pressure regulator valve
IClogged strainer
Line pressure is low in par-
ticular position.IFluid pressure leakage between manual valve and particular clutch
IFor example, line pressure is:
Ð Low in ªRº and ª1º positions,
Ð Normal in ªDº and ª2º positions.
Then, fluid leakage exists at or around low and reverse brake circuit.
Refer to ªCLUTCH AND BAND CHARTº, AT-11.

3. CRUISE TEST
ICheck all items listed in Parts 1 through 3.
With CONSULT-II
IUsing CONSULT-II, conduct a cruise test and record the result.
IPrint the result and ensure that shifts and lock-ups take place
as per ªShift Scheduleº.
CONSULT-II setting procedure
1. Turn off ignition switch.
2. Connect ªCONSULT-IIº to Data link connector for CONSULT-II.
Data link connector for CONSULT-II is located in instrument
lower panel on driver side.
3. Turn on ignition switch.
4. Touch ªSTARTº.
5. Touch ªA/Tº.

Vehicle Speed Sensor×A/T (Revolution sensor)
DESCRIPTION
The revolution sensor detects the revolution of the out put shaft
parking pawl lock gear and emits a pulse signal. The pulse signal
is sent to the TCM which converts it into vehicle speed.
