HOW TO PERFORM TROUBLE DIAGNOSES FOR QUICK AND ACCURATE REPAIR
A good understanding of the malfunction conditions can make troubleshooting faster and more accurate.
In general, each customer feels differently about a problem. It is important to fully understand the symptoms
or conditions for a customer complaint.
Make good use of the two sheets provided, ªINFORMATION FROM CUSTOMERº and ªDIAGNOSTIC
WORKSHEETº, to perform the best troubleshooting possible.
CHECK IN
LISTEN TO CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS AND FILL OUT
ªINFORMATION FROM CUSTOMERº, AT-23.
Check for any Service Bulletins.FRefer to FAIL-SAFE Service Notice or Precautions, AT-5.
CHECK A/T FLUID LEVEL AND CONDITION. IF NG, PLACE
CHECK ON THE DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET, AT-24.FRefer to A/T Fluid Check, AT-27.
PERFORM STALL TEST AND LINE PRESSURE TEST.FRefer to Stall Test and Line Pressure Test, AT-27, AT-30.

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

8. Move selector lever to ªNº position.
9. Cool off ATF.
IRun engine at idle for at least one minute.
10. Repeat steps 5 through 9 with selector lever in ª2º, ª1º and ªRº
positions.
JUDGEMENT OF STALL TEST
The test result and possible damaged components relating to each result are shown in the illustration.
In order to pinpoint the possible damaged components, follow the WORK FLOW as shown in AT-26.
Note
Stall revolution is too high in ªDº or ª2º position:
ISlippage occurs in 1st gear but not in 2nd and 3rd gears. ..... Low one-way clutch slippage
ISlippage occurs at the following gears:
1st through 3rd gears in ªDº position and engine brake functions.
1st and 2nd gears in ª2º position and engine brake functions with accelerator pedal released (fully closed
throttle). ..... Forward clutch or forward one-way clutch slippage
Stall revolution is too high in ªRº position:
IEngine brake does not function in ª1º position. ..... Low & reverse brake slippage
IEngine brake functions in ª1º position. ..... Reverse clutch slippage
Stall revolution within specifications:
IVehicle does not achieve speed of more than 80 km/h (50 MPH). ..... One-way clutch seizure in torque
converter housing
CAUTION:
Be careful since automatic fluid temperature increases abnormally.
ISlippage occurs in 3rd and 4th gears in ªDº position. ..... High clutch slippage
ISlippage occurs in 2nd and 4th gears in ªDº position. ..... Brake band slippage
Stall revolution less than specifications:
IPoor acceleration during starts. ..... One-way clutch seizure in torque converter

ILocation of line pressure test ports.
IAlways replace line pressure plugs as they are self-
sealing bolts.
LINE PRESSURE TEST PROCEDURE
1. Check A/T and engine fluid levels. If necessary, add fluid.
2. Drive vehicle for approx. 10 minutes or until engine oil and ATF
reach operating temperature.
ATF operating temperature:
50 - 80ÉC (122 - 176ÉF)
3. Install pressure gauge to corresponding line pressure port.
