CONSULT-II Function (A/T) BCS0010D
CONSULT-II can display each diagnostic item using the diagnostic test models shown following.
FUNCTION
NOTICE:
1. The CONSULT-II electrically displays shift timing and lock-up timing (that is, operation timing of each sole-
noid).
Check for time difference between actual shift timing and the CONSULT-II display. If the difference is
noticeable, mechanical parts (except solenoids, sensors, etc.) may be malfunctioning. Check mechanical
parts using applicable diagnostic procedures.
2. Shift schedule (which implies gear position) displayed on CONSULT-II and that indicated in Service Man-
ual may differ slightly. This occurs because of the following reasons:
–Actual shift schedule has more or less tolerance or allowance,
–Shift schedule indicated in Service Manual refers to the point where shifts start, and
–Gear position displayed on CONSULT-II indicates the point where shifts are completed.
3. Shift solenoid valve “A” or “B” is displayed on CONSULT-II at the start of shifting. Gear position is dis-
played upon completion of shifting (which is computed by TCM).

A/T 1ST GEAR FUNCTION
A/T 1ST GEAR FUNCTIONPFP:31940
DescriptionBCS00131
This malfunction will not be detected while A/T CHECK indicator lamp is indicating another self-diagnosis
malfunction.
This malfunction is detected when the A/T does not shift into first gear position as instructed by TCM. This
is not caused by electrical malfunction (circuits open or shorted) but by mechanical malfunction such as
control valve sticking, improper solenoid valve operation, etc.
On Board Diagnosis LogicBCS00132
This diagnosis monitors actual gear position by checking the torque converter slip ratio calculated by TCM
as follows:
Torque converter slip ratio = A x C/B
A: Output shaft revolution signal from revolution sensor
B: Engine speed signal from ECM
C: Gear ratio determined as gear position which TCM supposes
If the actual gear position is higher than the position (1st) supposed by TCM, the slip ratio will be more
than normal. In case the ratio exceeds the specified value, TCM judges this diagnosis malfunction.
This malfunction will be caused when either shift solenoid valve A is stuck open or shift solenoid valve B is
stuck open.
Gear positions supposed by TCM are as follows.
In case of gear position with no malfunctions: 1 , 2, 3 and 4 positions
In case of gear position with shift solenoid valve A stuck open: 2* , 2, 3 and 3 positions

INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM
System DescriptionBIS000WZ
The Intelligent Key system is a system that makes it possible to lock and unlock the door locks (door lock
function) and start the engine (engine start function) by carrying around the Intelligent Key, which operates
based on the results of electrical key-ID verification using two-way communications between the Intelli-
gent Key and the vehicle
Operation of the remote control buttons on the Intelligent Key also provides the same functions as the
remote keyless entry system. (Remote keyless entry functions)
As an ignition key warning function, when a door lock is locked or unlocked with request switch or remote
controller button operation, the hazard lamps flash and the Intelligent Key warning buzzer sounds.
Even if the Intelligent Key battery runs down, the door locks can be locked and unlocked and the engine
started with the mechanical key built into the Intelligent Key.
If an Intelligent Key is lost, a new Intelligent Key can be registered. A maximum of 4 Intelligent Keys can
be registered.
It has been made possible to diagnose the system, change the function setting and register an Intelligent
Key with the CONSULT-II.
