OVERALL SYSTEM
Overrun clutch control valve Switches hydraulic circuits to prevent engagement of the overrun clutch simultaneously with appli-
cation of the brake band in D
4. (Interlocking occurs if the overrun clutch engages during D4.)
1st reducing valve Reduces low & reverse brake pressure to dampen engine-brake shock when down-shifting from
the “1” position 1
2to 11.
Overrun clutch reducing valve Reduces oil pressure directed to the overrun clutch and prevents engine-brake shock.
In “1” and “2” positions, line pressure acts on the overrun clutch reducing valve to increase the
pressure-regulating point, with resultant engine brake capability.
Torque converter relief valve Prevents an excessive rise in torque converter pressure.
Torque converter clutch control
valve, plug and sleeveActivates or inactivates the lock-up function.
Also provides smooth lock-up through transient application and release of the lock-up system.
1-2 accumulator valve and piston Dampens the shock encountered when 2nd gear band servo contracts, and provides smooth
shifting.
3-2 timing valve Switches oil pressure with 3-2 timing valve according to throttle opening.
Shuttle control valve Reduces shock when down-shifting from 3rd to 2nd and regulates overrun clutch.
Cooler check valve Regulates oil pressure which causes lock-up when driving at low speeds.Valve name Function

Stall TestECS004QR
STALL TEST PROCEDURE
1. Check A/T fluid and engine oil levels. If necessary, add.
2. Drive vehicle for approx. 10 minutes or until fluid and oil reach
operating temperature.
3. Set parking brake and block wheels.
4. Install a tachometer where it can be seen by driver during test.
lIt is good practice to mark the point of specified engine
rpm on indicator.
5. Start engine, apply foot brake, and place selector lever in D
position.
6. Accelerate to wide open throttle gradually while applying foot
brake.
7. Quickly note the engine stall revolution and immediately release
throttle.
lDuring test, never hold throttle wide open for less than 5
seconds.
Stall revolution:
8. Move selector lever to “N” position.
9. Cool off ATF.
lRun engine at idle for at least one minute.
10. Repeat steps 5 through 9 with selector lever in “2”, “1” and “R”
positions.ATF operating temperature:
50 - 80°C (122 - 176°F)

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.
lContinue to depress brake pedal fully while line pressure
test is being performed at stall speed.

5. Start engine and measure line pressure at idle and stall speed.
lWhen measuring line pressure at stall speed, follow the
stall test procedure.

CATIONS (SDS)".
JUDGEMENT OF LINE PRESSURE TEST
Road TestECS004QT
DESCRIPTION
lThe purpose of the test is to determine overall performance of A/
T and analyze causes of problems.
lThe road test consists of the following three parts:
1. Check before engine is started
2. Check at idle
SAT493G
Judgement Suspected parts
At idleLine pressure is low in all positions.
lOil pump wear
lControl piston damage
lPressure regulator valve or plug sticking
lSpring for pressure regulator valve damaged
lFluid pressure leakage between oil strainer and pressure regulator valve
lClogged strainer
Line pressure is low in particular posi-
tion.
lFluid pressure leakage between manual valve and particular clutch
lFor example, line pressure is:
-Low in “R” and “1” positions, but
-Normal in “D” and “2” positions.
Therefore, fluid leakage exists at or around low and reverse brake circuit.
Refer to “CLUTCH AND BAND CHART”,AT-19, "
CLUTCH AND BAND
CHART".
Line pressure is high.
lMaladjustment of throttle position sensor
lA/T fluid temperature sensor damaged
lLine pressure solenoid valve sticking
lShort circuit of line pressure solenoid valve circuit
lPressure modifier valve sticking
lPressure regulator valve or plug sticking
lOpen in dropping resistor circuit
At stall
speedLine pressure is low.
lMaladjustment of throttle position sensor
lLine pressure solenoid valve sticking
lShort circuit of line pressure solenoid valve circuit
lPressure regulator valve or plug sticking
lPressure modifier valve sticking
lPilot valve sticking

1. Drive vehicle for approx. 10 minutes to warm engine oil and ATF up to operating
temperature.
2. Park vehicle on flat surface.
3. Set overdrive control switch to “ON” position.
4. Move selector lever to “P” position.
5. Start engine.
6. Move selector lever to “D” position.
7. Accelerate vehicle by constantly depressing accelerator pedal
halfway.
