DIAGNOSIS (JR405E) 7A2-133
No. G4: Large Noise During Idling with the Vehicle in Stop State
Description:
The transmission is noisy during the idling speed in all ranges.
Diagnosis Hints:
Causes such as solenoid operating sound or faulty oil pump are considered.
Distinguishing to some extent is possible by stopping the solenoid operation temporarily, checking the correlation
for the former case and, changing the line pressure and confirming the correlation with noise.
As a matter of course, noise may be generated around the engine, for instance, other than the AT and should be
checked carefully.
Note:
When the noise is generated only at the time of gear shift, it may be the sound of flowing ATF or gear
noise. If the sound varies depending on the gear speed to be shifted, it may be the gear noise generated
from the planetary gear and its related components. If the sound varies depending on the vehicle
speed, it may be the gear noise of the output system, and if varying depending on the engine speed, it
may be the gear noise of the input system or faulty torque converter.
In either case, sound may be "noise" depending on the origin and resonance object. When the object
generating the sound (resonance object) and the sound source (vibration source) are different,
investigation of the cause may be difficult.
No. H1: Judder Occurs at the Lock-up
Diagnosis Hints:
The vehicle body judders at lock-up.
Diagnosis Hints:
Slip due to burning of the lockup piston or insufficient fastening due to dropped working pressure are considered.
Trouble diagnosis flow is basically the same as "No. I1: No lock-up".
Note:
When the lock-up piston has burnt, foreign material mixed in the oil cooler is considered. In such a
case, inspect the oil cooler circuit for clogging of the oil cooler.
No. H2: Large Lock-up Shock
No. H3: Lock-up Point is High or Low
Description:
Large shock is felt at lock-up.
Lock-up point is excessive high or low.
Diagnosis Hints:
Out of properties of input sensor or faulty lock-up piston pressure system are considered.
Trouble diagnosis flow is basically the same as "No. I1: No lock-up".

7A2-154 DIAGNOSIS (JR405E)
TCM VOLTAGE CHECK
TCM voltage check is done to check for transmission and TCM
problems which cannot be detected by self-diagnosis.
Additionally, it severs as a back-up check for self-diagnosis.
Measure the voltage drop and make a continuity test for each of
sensors, solenoids and switches.
If the voltage is within the specified range and continuity exists,
that particular area of the TCM and transmission assembly is
normal.
If voltage deviation or lack of continuity is discovered, disconnect
the applicable parts and check of them individually.
Inspection Tool
Use a circuit tester and an oscilloscope to measure voltage and
circuit continuity.
Insert the test probes from the connector wiring side. TCM
terminals are extremely small.
Wrap a piece of thin wire around the probe of tester.
This will make measurement easier.
