PRECAUTIONS
lVehicle has TCC shudder and/or no TCC apply. Replace only after all hydraulic and electrical diagnoses
have been made. (Converter clutch material may be glazed.)
lConverter is contaminated with engine coolant containing antifreeze.
lInternal failure of stator roller clutch.
lHeavy clutch debris due to overheating (blue converter).
lSteel particles or clutch lining material found in fluid filter or on magnet when no internal parts in unit are
worn or damaged — indicates that lining material came from converter.
The torque converter should not be replaced if:
lThe fluid has an odor, is discolored, and there is no evidence of metal or clutch facing particles.
lThe threads in one or more of the converter bolt holes are damaged.
lTransaxle failure did not display evidence of damaged or worn internal parts, steel particles or clutch plate
lining material in unit and inside the fluid filter.
lVehicle has been exposed to high mileage (only). The exception may be where the torque converter
clutch dampener plate lining has seen excess wear by vehicles operated in heavy and/or constant traffic,
such as taxi, delivery or police use.
EURO-OBD SELF-DIAGNOSIS — EURO-OBD —
lA/T self-diagnosis is performed by the TCM in combination with the ECM. The results can be read through
the blinking pattern of the O/D OFF indicator lamp or the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). Refer to the
table onAT-42, "
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULT TEST MODE"for the indicator used to display each self-
diagnostic result.
lThe self-diagnostic results indicated by the MIL are automatically stored in both the ECM and TCM mem-
ories.
Always perform the procedure “HOW TO ERASE DTC” onAT-39, "
HOW TO ERASE DTC"to com-
plete the repair and avoid unnecessary blinking of the MIL.
lThe following self-diagnostic items can be detected using ECM self-diagnostic results mode* only when
the O/D OFF indicator lamp does not indicate any malfunctions.
–PNP switch
–A/T 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th gear function
*: For details of EURO-OBD, refer toAT - 3 7 , "
ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DESCRIPTION".
lCertain systems and components, especially those related to EURO-OBD, may use a new style
slide-locking type harness connector.
For description and how to disconnect, refer toPG-70, "
HARNESS CONNECTOR".

CHECKING TEMPERATURE DECREASE
1. Turn the temperature dial until 18°C(60°F) is displayed.
2. Check for cold air at discharge air outlets.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for insufficient coolingAT C -
81.
If OK, continue with next check.
CHECKING TEMPERATURE INCREASE
1. Turn the temperature dial until 32°C(90°F) is displayed.
2. Check for hot air at discharge air outlets.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for insufficient heatingAT C -
89.
If OK, continue with next check.
CHECKING AUTO MODE
1. Press A/C switch.
2. Display should indicate AUTO (no ECON).
lConfirm that the compressor clutch engages (audio or visual
inspection). (Discharge air and blower speed will depend on
ambient, in-vehicle, and set temperatures.)

If all operational check are OK (symptom can not be duplicated), go
to Incident Simulation Tests inGI-24, "

nosis for an Electrical Incident"and perform tests as outlined to
simulate driving conditions environment. If symptom appears, refer
toAT C - 3 0

Low-pressure Side Becomes Negative.
Insufficient HeatingEJS001H7
SYMPTOM: Insufficient heating
Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
Low-pressure side becomes nega-
tive.
Liquid tank or front/rear side of
expansion valve's pipe is
frosted or dewed.High-pressure side is closed
and refrigerant does not flow.
¯
Expansion valve or liquid tank
is frosted.Leave the system at rest until
no frost is present. Start it
again to check whether or not
the problem is caused by
water or foreign particles.
lIf water is the cause, initially
cooling is okay. Then the
water freezes causing a
blockage. Drain water from
refrigerant or replace refrig-
erant.
lIf due to foreign particles,
remove expansion valve
and remove the particles
with dry and compressed air
(not shop air).
lIf either of the above meth-
ods cannot correct the prob-
lem, replace expansion
valve.
lReplace desiccant assy.
lCheck lubricant for contami-
nation.

Continuity exists, resistance value
Insulation inspection
lCheck resistance value between each pair of ABS solenoid E70 and E71 terminals (No.1 (L), 2 ((R/B) 3
(L/W), 12 (Y/G), 25 (L/Y), 26 (B/Y), 27 (L/R), 28 (W/G).
ABS motor operation inspection
1. Connect 2-pin connector on ABS actuator E69 terminals No. 9
(R/B) and No. 10 (Y).
2. Apply voltage of Approx. 12V voltage between terminals E70
No. 5 (G/R) and terminals E71 No. 7 (W/G) on ABS relay unit.
Measure motor voltage (terminal E70 No. 4 (R/Y) - Body
ground) using an oscilloscope and check motor counter electro-
motive force duration when operation stops.
CAUTION:
lBefore measuring time, check each part of ABS relay unit
and confirm motor relay is normal.
lTo prevent overheating, ABS motor should be driven no
longer than 4 seconds.
lMotor counter electromotive force duration is based on the
time at 20°C, in ambient temperatures, with 12V battery volt-
age. If battery voltage is low, time will be slightly shorter.
