GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This automatic transmission is a full automatic type with 3-speed plus overdrive (O / D).
The torque converter is a 3-element, 1-step and 2-phase type and is equipped with an electronically controlled
lock-up mechanism. The gear shift device consists of 3 sets of planetary gear units, 3 disc type clutches, 4 disc
type brakes and 3 one-way clutches. The gear shift is done by selecting one of 6 positions (ªPº, ªRº, ªNº, ªDº, ª2º
and ªLº) by means of the select lever installed on the floor. On the shift knob, there is an overdrive (O / D) cut switch
which allows shift-up to the overdrive mode (except at 4L) and shift-down from the overdrive mode. Also, by using
the P / N change switch located on the console box, it is possible to select the gear change timing of 2 modes, nor-
mal and power.

2Check Transmission Range Switch (Sensor) Circuit for
Operation.
When using SUZUKI scan tool:
1) Connect SUZUKI scan tool to DLC with ignition
switch OFF.
2) Turn ignition switch ON and check transmission
range signal (P, R, N, D, 2 or L) on display
when shifting select lever to each range.
Is applicable range indicated?
When not using SUZUKI scan tool:
1) Turn ignition switch ON.
2) Check voltage at terminals C51-1-15, C51-1-16,
C51-1-17, C51-1-18, C51-1-27 and C51-1-28 for
G16/J20 (C51-1-4, C51-1-3, C51-1-13, C51-1-12,
C51-1-20 and C51-1-19 for H25) respectively with
select lever shifted to each range.
Taking terminal C51-1-28 for G16/J20 (C51-1-20 for
H25) as an example, is battery voltage indicated
only when select lever is shifted to ª2º range and
0 V for other ranges as shown in figure?
Check voltage at other terminals likewise, referring
to figure.
Are check results satisfactory?Intermittent trouble.
Check for intermittent

Position.
1) Shift select lever to ªNº range.
2) Check that ªNº reference line on switch and center
line on shaft are aligned.
Are they aligned?Go to Step 5.Adjust.

LEVEL CHECK AT ROOM TEMPERATURE
The fluid level check at room temperature performed after repair or
fluid change before test driving is just preparation for level check of
normal operating temperature. The checking procedure itself is the
same as that described previously. If the fluid level is between FULL
COLD and LOW COLD, proceed to test drive. And when the fluid
temperature has reached the normal operating temperature, check
fluid level again and adjust it as necessary.
FLUID CHANGE
1) Lift up vehicle.
2) With engine is cool, remove drain plug from oil pan and drain A / T
fluid.
3) Install drain plug.

INSPECTION & ADJUSTMENT
1) Shift select lever to ªNº range.
2) Check that center line on manual valve shaft and ªNº reference
line on switch are aligned. If not, loosen switch bolt and align
them.
3) Check that engine starts in ªNº and ªPº ranges but it doesn't start
in ªDº, ª2º, ªLº or ªRº range. Also, check that back-up lamp lights
in ªRº range.
4) If faulty condition cannot be corrected by adjustment, discon-
nect transmission range switch coupler and check that continu-
ity exists as shown by moving select lever.
