ENGINE CRANKS BUT WILL NOT RUN (1.4L/1.6L DOHC)
Test Description
The number(s) below refer to step(s) on the diagnostic
table.
1. The On–Board Diagnostic (EOBD) System Check
prompts the technician to complete some basic
checks and store the freeze frame and failure re-
cords data on the scan tool if applicable. This
creates an electronic copy of the data taken when
the occurred. The information is then stored on the
scan tool for later reference.
2. By performing a compression test, it can be deter-
mined if the engine has the mechanical ability to
run.
3. It is important to check for the presence of sparkfrom all of the ignition wires. If spark is present from
one to three of the ignition coil terminals, the Crank-
shaft Position (CKP) sensor is OK.
19. In checking the engine control module (ECM) out-
puts for the electronic spark timing signal, it recom-
mended to use an oscilloscope to view the varying
voltage signals. In measuring these outputs with a
voltmeter, intermittent errors may occur that cannot
be seen by a voltmeter.
35. This step checks for proper operation of the ECM’s
control of the fuel pump circuit.
59. This step checks for a ground signal being supplied
by the ECM to operate the fuel injectors. If there is
no ground present during the cranking of the en-
gine, and the fuel injector wiring is OK, the ECM is
at fault.

IGNITION SYSTEM CHECK (1.4L/1.6L DOHC)
Circuit Description
The Electronic Ignition (EI) system uses a waste spark
method of spark distribution. In this type of EI system, the
Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is mounted to the oil
pump near a slotted wheel that is a part of the crankshaft
pulley. The CKP sensor sends reference pulses to the en-
gine control module (ECM). The ECM then triggers the EI
system ignition coil. Once the ECM triggers the EI system
ignition coil, both of the connected spark plugs fire at the
same time. One cylinder is on its compression stroke at
the same time that the other is on the exhaust stroke, re-
sulting in lower energy needed to fire the spark plug in the
cylinder on its exhaust stroke.
This leaves the remainder of the high voltage to be used
to fire the spark plug in the cylinder on its compression
stroke. Since the CKP sensor is in a fixed position, timing
adjustments are not possible or needed.
Test Description
The number(s) below refer to step(s) on the diagnostictable.
2. It is important to check for the presence of spark to
all of the cylinders to isolate the problem to either
EI system ignition coil inputs or outputs.
5. In checking the ECM outputs for the electronic
spark timing signal, it recommended to use an os-
cilloscope to view the varying voltage signals. In
measuring these outputs with a voltmeter, intermit-
tent errors may occur that cannot be seen by a volt-
meter.
6. After confirming ECM inputs for the electronic spark
timing to the EI system ignition coil are OK, it can
be determined that a faulty EI system ignition coil is
at fault.
11. After confirming proper CKP sensor inputs to the
ECM and no wiring problems present, it can be de-
termined that the ECM is at fault.
24. This step, along with step 25, checks for battery
voltage and a ground to the EI system ignition coil.

Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the Diag-
nostic Table.
1. The On–Board Diagnostic (EOBD) System Check
prompts the technician to complete some basic
checks and store the freeze frame and failure re-
cords data on the scan tool if applicable. This
creates an electronic copy of the data taken when
the malfunction occurred. The information is then
stored on the scan tool for later reference.
2. A normally operating IAC system will be able to be
extended and retracted by a scan tool and change
the engine idle rpm. Valve movement is verified by
an engine rpm change.
3. If the scan tool was able to command the IAC valve
smoothly, a malfunction may still exist internally
within the IAC valve. This can be checked by
checking the IAC valves internal resistance.5. The IAC circuits always have ground or voltage sig-
nals on them in pairs. If the test light illuminates on
more or less than 2 terminals, 1 of the circuits is
shorted to voltage or open.
6. The IAC circuits always have ground or voltage sig-
nals on them in pairs. If the test light illuminates on
more or less than 2 terminals, 1 of the circuits is
shorted to ground or open
8. The IAC circuits are constantly switched between
ground and voltage so the test light should blink on
all circuits when connected to ground.
10. Any circuitry, that is suspected as causing the inter-
mittent complaint, should be thoroughly checked for
backed–out terminals, improper mating, broken
locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals,
poor terminal– to–wiring connections or physical
damage to the wiring harness.
12. A test light that remains ON constantly indicates
that the circuit is shorted to voltage.
14. The replacement ECM must be reprogrammed.
Refer to the latest Techline procedure for ECM re-
programming.
16. If no malfunctions have been found at this point and
no additional DTCs were set, refer to ”Diagnostic
Aids” in this section for additional checks and infor-
mation for additional checks and information.

CLUTCH PLATE DIAGNOSIS
Composition Plates
Dry the plate and inspect the plates for the following condi-
tions :
S Pitting
S Flaking
S Wear
S Glazing
S Cracking
S Charring
Chips or metal particles embedded in the lining
Replace a composition plate which shows any of these
conditions.
Steel Plates
Wipe the plates dry and check the plates for heat discolor-
ation. If the surfaces are smooth, even if colorsmear is in-
dicated, you can reuse the plate. If the plate is discolored
with hot spots or if the surface is scuffed, replace the plate.
Important : If the clutch shows evidence or extreme heat
or burning, replace the springs.
Causes of Burned Clutch Plates
The following conditions can result in a burned clutch
plate:
S Incorrect usage of clutch plates.
S Engine coolant in the transaxle fluid.
S A cracked clutch piston.
S Damaged or missing seals.
S Low line pressure.
S Valve problems.
– The valve body face is not flat
– Porosity between channels
– The valve bushing clips are improperly installed.
– The check balls are misplaced.
S The seal rings are worn or damaged
Engine Coolant in Transaxle
Notice : Antifreeze will deteriorate the O–ring seals and
the glue used to bond the clutch material to the pressure
plate. Both conditions may cause transaxle damage.
Perform the following steps if the transaxle oil cooler has
developed a leak, allowing engine coolant to enter the
transaxle:
1. Because the coolant will attach to the seal material
causing leakage, disassemble the transaxle and
replace all rubber type seals.
2. Because the facing material may become sepa-
rated from the steel center portion, replace the
composition faced clutch plate assemblies.
3. Replace all nylon parts including washers.
4. Replace the torque converter.
5. Thoroughly clean and rebuild the transaxle, using
new gaskets and oil filter.6. Flush the cooler lines after you have properly re-
paired or replaced the transaxle.
COOLER FLUSHING AND FLOW
TEST
Notice : You must flush the cooler whenever you receive
a transaxle for service. Cooler flushing is essential for
SRTA installation, major overhaul, whenever you replace
a pump or torque converter, or whenever you suspect that
the fluid has been contaminated.
After filling the transaxle with fluid, start the engine and run
for 30 seconds. This will remove any residual moisture
from the oil cooler. Disconnect the return line at the trans-
axle and observe the flow with the engine running. If the
fluid flow is insufficient, check the fluid flow by disconnect-
ing the feed line at the cooler. Observe the flow with the
engine running.
S If the flow from the cooler return line at the trans-
axle is insufficient, check the flow rate from the feed
line to the cooler. BLockage exists in the transaxle
or the cooler.
S If the flow from the transaxle feed line to the cooler
is insufficient, the transaxle is the cause of the fluid
flow problem.
S If the flow the transaxle feed line to the cooler is
insufficient, but flow from the cooler return line to
the transaxle is insufficient, inspect the cooler pipes
and fittings. Then repeat the cooler flushing proce-
dure. If the flow is still insufficient, replace the cool-
er.
TRANSAXLE FLUID LEVEL SERVICE
PROCEDURE
This procedure is to be used when checking a concern
with the fluid level in a vehicle. A low fluid level will result
in slipping and loss of drive/ reverse or delay on engage-
ment of drive/ reverse when the vehicle is cold.
The vehicle is first checked for transaxle diagnostic mes-
sages on the scan tool. If the oil level is low, it is possible
to register a vehicle speed signal fault.
The vehicle is to be test driven to determine if there is an
abnormal delay when selecting drive or reverse, or loss of
drive. One symptom of low fluid level is a momentary loss
of drive when driving the vehicle around a corner. Also
when the transaxle fluid level is low, a loss of drive may oc-
cur when the transaxle fluid temperature is low.
When adding or changing transaxle fluid use only ESSO
LT 71141 automatic transaxle fluid or other approved
fluids. The use of incorrect fluid will cause the performance
and durability of the transaxle to be severely degraded.
Fluid Level Diagnosis Procedure
1. If the vehicle is at operating temperature allow the
vehicle to cool down for two hours, but no greater
than four hours. Or if the vehicle is at cool status,
start the engine and allow the engine to idle for
approximately 5 minutes (825~875 rpm), if pos-
