lAfter performing each TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS, perform
“DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) CONFIRMATION PROCE-
DURE”.
The DTC should not be displayed in the “DTC CONFIRMA-
TION PROCEDURE” if the repair is completed.
lBefore proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the out-
side of the transaxle. It is important to prevent the internal parts
from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
lDisassembly should be done in a clean work area.
lUse lint-free cloth or towels for wiping parts clean. Common
shop rags can leave fibers that could interfere with the operation
of the transaxle.
lPlace disassembled parts in order for easier and proper assembly.
lAll parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent before inspection or
reassembly.
lGaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the transaxle is disassembled.
lIt is very important to perform functional tests whenever they are indicated.
lThe valve body contains precision parts and requires extreme care when parts are removed and serviced.
Place disassembled valve body parts in order for easier and proper assembly. Care will also prevent
springs and small parts from becoming scattered or lost.
lProperly installed valves, sleeves, plugs, etc. will slide along bores in valve body under their own weight.
lBefore assembly, apply a coat of recommended ATF to all parts. Apply petroleum jelly to protect O-rings
and seals, or hold bearings and washers in place during assembly. Do not use grease.
lExtreme care should be taken to avoid damage to O-rings, seals and gaskets when assembling.
lAfter overhaul, refill the transaxle with new ATF.
lWhen the A/T drain plug is removed, only some of the fluid is drained. Old A/T fluid will remain in torque
converter and ATF cooling system.
Always follow the procedures under “Changing A/T Fluid” in the AT section when changing A/T fluid. Refer
to “Changing A/T Fluid”,AT-13, "
A/T FLUID".
Service Notice or PrecautionsECS004Q3
FAI L-S AFE
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 “1”, “2” or “D”. The cus-
tomer may complain of sluggish or poor acceleration.
When the ignition key is turned “ON” following Fail-Safe operation, O/D OFF indicator lamp blinks for about 8
seconds. Refer to SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE(WITHOUT CONSULT-II)",AT- 2 7 3 , "
Diagnostic Proce-
dure Without CONSULT-II"(EXCEPT FOR EURO-OBD) or "TCM Self-diagnostic Procedure(NO TOOLS)",
AT- 5 1 , "
TCM SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (NO TOOLS)"(EURO-OBD).
The blinking of the O/D OFF indicator lamp for about 8 seconds will appear only once and be cleared. The
customer may resume normal driving conditions.
Always follow the “WORK FLOW”, refer toAT-284, "
Work Flow"(EXCEPT FOR Euro-OBD) orAT-61, "Work
Flow"(Euro-OBD).
The SELF-DIAGNOSIS results will be as follows:
lThe first SELF-DIAGNOSIS will indicate damage to the vehicle speed sensor or the revolution sensor.
lDuring the next SELF-DIAGNOSIS, performed after checking the sensor, no damages will be indicated.
TORQUE CONVERTER SERVICE
The torque converter should be replaced under any of the following conditions:
lExternal leaks in the hub weld area.
lConverter hub is scored or damaged.
lConverter pilot is broken, damaged or fits poorly into crankshaft.
lSteel particles are found after flushing the cooler and cooler lines.
lPump is damaged or steel particles are found in the converter.

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, “INFORMATION FROM CUSTOMER” (AT- 5 7 , "
Information from
Customer") and “DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET” (AT-58, "Diagnostic Worksheet"), to perform the best trouble-
shooting possible.
5.oFor self-diagnosis NG items, inspect each component. Repair or replace the damaged parts.AT-50, "Diag-
nostic Proce-
dure Without
CONSULT-II"
6.oPerform all ROAD TEST and re-mark required procedures.AT-69, "Road
Te s t"
7.oPerform DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE for following MIL indicating items and check out NG items.
Refer to "EC-XX", “Emission-related Diagnostic Information”.EC section

LINE PRESSURE TEST PORTS
Location of line pressure test ports are shown in the illustration.
lAlways replace pressure plugs as they are self-sealing
bolts.
LINE PRESSURE TEST PROCEDURE
1. Check A/T fluid and engine oil levels. If necessary, add fluid or
oil.
2. Drive vehicle for approx. 10 minutes or until engine oil and ATF
reach operating temperature.
3. Install pressure gauge to corresponding line pressure port.
4. Set parking brake and block wheels.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CONFIRMATION
PROCEDURE
CAUTION:
lAlways drive vehicle at a safe speed.
lBe careful not to rev engine into the red zone on the tachometer.
NOTE:
If “DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE” has been previously conducted,
always turn ignition switch “OFF” and wait at least 5 seconds before conducting the next test.
TESTING CONDITION:
Always drive vehicle on a level road to improve the accuracy of test.
After the repair, perform the following procedure to confirm the malfunction is eliminated.
With CONSULT-II
1. Start engine and select “DATA MONITOR” mode for “A/T” with CONSULT-II.
2. Make sure that output voltage of A/T fluid temperature sensor is within the range below.
FLUID TEMP SEN : 0.4 - 1.5V
If out of range, drive the vehicle to decrease the voltage (warm up the fluid) or stop engine to increase the
voltage (cool down the fluid).
3. Select “1ST GR FNCTN P0731” of “DTC WORK SUPPORT”
mode for “A/T” with CONSULT-II and touch “START”.
4. Accelerate vehicle to 15 to 20 km/h (9 to 12 MPH) under the fol-
lowing condition and release the accelerator pedal completely.
THROTTLE POSI: Less than 1.0/8 (at all times during step 4)
Selector lever: D position (OD “ON”)
lCheck that “GEAR” shows “2” after releasing pedal.
5. Depress accelerator pedal to WOT (more than 7.0/8 of “THROT-
TLE POSI”) quickly from a speed of 15 to 20 km/h (9 to 12 MPH)
until “TESTING” changes to “STOP VEHICLE” or “COM-
PLETED”. (It will take approximately 3 seconds.)
If the check result NG appears on CONSULT-II screen, go to
“DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE”,AT-155, "
Diagnostic Procedure".
If “STOP VEHICLE” appears on CONSULT-II screen, go to the following step.
lCheck that “GEAR” shows “1” when depressing accelerator pedal to WOT.
lIf “TESTING” does not appear on CONSULT-II for a long time, select “SELF-DIAGNOSIS” for
“ENGINE”. In case a 1st trip DTC other than P0731 is shown, refer to applicable “TROUBLE DIAG-
NOSIS FOR DTC”.
