Reverse
In Reverse, transaxle drive is via the input shaft and clutch
B. The elements of this transaxle function are as follows:
S Clutch B is engaged and drives the reverse sun
gear in a clock––wise direction.
S The D band is engaged and holds the planetary
gear carrier (front & rear) stationary causing the
differential pinion to rotate clockwise.
S The differential rotates in a counterclockwise direc-
tion.
S The output shaft is driven in a counterclockwise or
reverse direction.
Control
Clutch B Engaged
The line pressure, which is supplied by the oil pump, is di-
rected to clutch B via the manual valve. The position of the
check ball will change allowing direct pressure to clutch B.
Brake D Engaged
The line pressure, which engaged clutch B, is also sup-
plied to clutch valve D.In Reverse, solenoid 1 is switched ON and EDS 4 is
switched OFF. This will cause the fluid supplied to the re-
duction valve to flow to clutch valve D via the EDS 4.
The spool of clutch valve D will be depressed allowing fluid
to pass to holding valve D.
Lock–up Clutch (TCC)
Solenoid 2 is turned ON and the line pressure control valve
spool will be depressed. Fluid will now flow through the
torque converter pressure valve.
As a result, the oil pressure behind the converter lock–up
clutch piston and in the turbine zone is equal. The direction
of flow is through the turbine shaft and through the space
behind the piston, to the turbine chamber.
Lubrication/Cooling
The lubricating valve ensures that the converter is sup-
plied with cooling oil first if the pump rate is low. The lubri-
cating pressure valve in addition guarantees that the nec-
essary amount of cooling and lubricating oil is available via
the bypass duct.
The fluid, which is supplied from the torque converter,
flows to the cooler via the lubrication valve.

ner.
8. Switching solenoid 1 ON/OFF, accelerating the en-
gine to 2,500rpm, and then read the line pressure
at the each gear.
9. Compare data to the Drive–Park–Neutral line pres-
sure chart below.
Notice : Total test running time should not exceed 2 min-
utes, or transaxle damage could occur.
CAUTION : Brake must be applied at all times to pre-
vent unexpected vehicle motion.
If pressure readings differ greatly from the line pressure
chart, refer to the Diagnosis Charts contained in this sec-
tion.
Notice : Clutch damage may occur.
The scanner is only able to control the pressure control so-
lenoid in Park and Neutral with the vehicle stopped.
This protects the clutches from extremely high or low pres-
sures in Drive or Reverse rang.

Use a scan tool to see if any transaxle trouble codes have
been set. Refer to ”Diagnostic Trouble Codes”in this sec-
tion and repair the vehicle as directed. After repairing the
vehicle, perform the hoist test and verify that the code has
not set again.
If the transaxle is not performing well and no trouble codes
have been set, there may be an intermittent condition.
Check all electrical connections for damage or a loose fit.
You also have to perform a snapshot test which can help
catch an intermittent condition that dose not occur long
enough to set a code.
You may want to read ”Electronic Component Diagnosis”
in this section to become familiar with transaxle conditions
caused by transaxle electrical malfunction.
If no trouble codes have been set and the condition is sus-
pected to be hydraulic, take the vehicle on a road test.
TORQUE CONVERTER LOCK–UP
CLUTCH(TCC) DIAGNOSIS
To properly diagnosis the lock–up clutch(TCC) system,
perform all electrical testing first and then the hydraulic
testing.
The TCC is applied by fluid pressure which is controlled by
a solenoid Located inside the valve body. The solenoid is
energized by completing an electrical circuit through a
combination of switches and sensors.

Automatic Transaxle Output Speed Sensor
(A/T OSS)
The vehicle A/T OSS is a magnetic inductive pickup that
relays information relative to vehicle speed to the TCM.
Vehicle speed information is used by the TCM to control
shift timing, line pressure, and TCC (lock–up clutch) apply
and release.
The output speed sensor mounts in the case at the speed
sensor rotor, which is pressed onto the spur gear. An air
gap of 0.1mm~1.3mm(0.004~0.05in) is maintained be-
tween the sensor and the teeth on the spur gear teeth. The
sensor consists of a permanent magnet surrounded by a
coil of wire.
As the differential rotates, an AC signal is generated by the
output speed sensor (OSS).
Automatic Transaxle Input Speed Sensor
(A/T ISS)
The A/T ISS is a magnetic inductive pickup that relays in-
formation relative to transaxle input speed to the TCM.
The TCM uses transaxle input speed information to con-
trol line pressure, TCC apply and release and transaxle
shift patterns. This information is also uses to calculate the
appropriate operating gear ratios and TCC slippage.
The input speed sensor mounts onto piston B that is inside
of valve body.
An air gap of 1.8~2.2mm(0.07~0.086inch) is maintained
between the sensor and the piston B.
The sensor consists of a permanent magnet surrounded
by a coil of wire. As the piston B is driven by the turbine
shaft, an AC signal induced in the input speed sensor.
Higher vehicle speeds induce a higher frequency and volt-
age measurement at the sensor.
Sensor resistance should measure between 825~835
ohms at 20°C (68°F). Sensor can measure from
1,000~8,000HZ.
