Service Notice or Precautions
FAIL-SAFE
The TCM has an electronic Fail-Safe (limp home mode). This allows the vehicle to be driven even if a major
electrical input/output device circuit is damaged.
Under Fail-Safe, the vehicle always runs in third gear even with a shift lever position of ª1º, ª2º or ªDº. Cus-
tomer may complain of ªsluggish or poor accelerationº.
When the Fail-Safe operation occurs the next time the key is turned to the ªONº position, the SPORT indica-
tor lamp will blink for about 8 seconds. (For diagnosis, refer to AT-33.)
Fail-Safe may activate without electrical circuit damages if the vehicle is driven under extreme conditions (such
as excessive wheel spins and emergency braking immediately afterwards). In this case, turn the ignition key
ªOFFº for 5 seconds and then ªONº to recover normal shift pattern.
The blinking of the SPORT indicator lamp for about 8 seconds will appear only once and be cleared. The cus-
tomer may resume normal driving conditions by chance.
Always follow the ªWORK FLOWº (Refer to AT-26).
The SELF-DIAGNOSIS results will be as follows:
The first SELF-DIAGNOSIS will indicate the damage of the vehicle speed sensor or the revolution sensor.
During the next SELF-DIAGNOSIS performed after checking the sensor, no damages will be indicated.

*1: Operates when overdrive control or A/T mode switch is being set in ªOFFº or ªSPORTº position.
*2: Oil pressure is applied to both 2nd ªapplyº side and 3rd ªreleaseº side of band servo piston. However, brake band does not contract because oil
pressure area on the ªreleaseº side is greater than that on the ªapplyº side.
*3: Oil pressure is applied to 4th ªapplyº side in condition *2 above, and brake band contracts.
*4: A/T will not shift to 4th when overdrive control or A/T mode switch is set in ªOFFº or ªSPORTº position.
q: Operates.
: Operates when throttle opening is less than 3/16, activating engine brake.
v: Operates during ªprogressiveº acceleration.
: Operates but does not affect power transmission.
: Operates when throttle opening is less than 3/16, but does not affect engine brake.

TCM FUNCTION
The function of the TCM is to:
IReceive input signals sent from various switches and sensors.
IDetermine required line pressure, shifting point, lock-up operation, and engine brake operation.
ISend required output signals to the respective solenoids.
INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL OF TCM
Sensors and solenoid valves Function
InputPark/neutral position switch Detects select lever position and sends a signal to TCM.
Throttle (accelerator) position sensor Detects throttle valve position and sends a signal to TCM.
Closed throttle position switch Detects throttle valve's fully-closed position and sends a signal to TCM.
Wide open throttle position switchDetects a throttle valve position of greater than 1/2 of full throttle and sends a
signal to TCM.
Engine speed signal From ECM.
A/T fluid temperature sensor Detects transmission fluid temperature and sends a signal to TCM.
Revolution sensor Detects output shaft rpm and sends a signal to TCM.
Vehicle speed sensorUsed as an auxiliary vehicle speed sensor. Sends a signal when revolution sen-
sor (installed on transmission) malfunctions.
Overdrive control switch
A/T mode switchSends a signal, which prohibits a shift to ªD
4º (overdrive) position, to the TCM.
OutputShift solenoid valve A/BSelects shifting point suited to driving conditions in relation to a signal sent from
TCM.
Line pressure solenoid valveRegulates (or decreases) line pressure suited to driving conditions in relation to
a signal sent from TCM.
Torque converter clutch solenoid valveRegulates (or decreases) lock-up pressure suited to driving conditions in relation
to a signal sent from TCM.
Overrun clutch solenoid valveControls an ªengine brakeº effect suited to driving conditions in relation to a sig-
nal sent from TCM.
O/D OFF indicator lamp
SPORT indicator lampShows TCM malfunctions, when A/T control components malfunction.

Introduction
The TCM receives a signal from the vehicle-speed sensor, throttle
(accelerator) position sensor or park/neutral position switch and
provides shift control or lock-up control via solenoid valves.
Input and output signals must always be correct and stable in the
operation of the A/T system. The A/T system must be in good
operating condition and be free of valve seizure, solenoid valve
malfunction, etc.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a problem that occurs intermit-
tently rather than continuously. Most intermittent problems are
caused by poor electric connections or improper wiring. In this
case, careful checking of suspected circuits may help prevent the
replacement of good parts.
A visual check only may not find the cause of the problems. A road
test with CONSULT-II or a circuit tester connected should be per-
formed. Follow the ªWork Flowº. Refer to AT-26.
Before undertaking actual checks, take a few minutes to talk with
a customer who approaches with a driveability complaint. The cus-
tomer can supply good information about such problems, especially
intermittent ones. Find out what symptoms are present and under
what conditions they occur. A ªDiagnostic Worksheetº like the
example (AT-24) should be used.
Start your diagnosis by looking for ªconventionalº problems first.
This will help troubleshoot driveability problems on an electronically
controlled engine vehicle.
