DIAGNOSIS (JR405E) 7A2-131
No. F5: Engine Stalls Before Vehicle Stops from Running
Description:
The engine stalls simultaneously with the vehicle stop when the brake pedal is stepped on to stop the vehicle
during the running.
Possible Cause:
Trouble on the engine system side (fuel injection control, engine speed control, etc.) is considered.
Refer to "No. B5: Engine stalls when selecting from N range to R, D, 3, 2 or L range".
No. G1: Vehicle Moves in P Range or Parking Gear is Not
Disengaged other than P Range
Description:
Vehicle moves though it stops at a slope and P range is selected.
The engine stalls and vehicle does not move though other than P range is selected and the accelerator pedal is
stepped on.
Possible Cause:
Trouble of the parking mechanism (noise or shock may result).
Disordered selector cable (only when traveling in the P range).
If the vehicle moves in the N range, follow the procedure of "No. B1: Vehicle runs in N range".
No. G2: Creep Force is Large
Description:
Vehicle accelerates in D, 3, 2, L, and R ranges though the accelerator pedal is not stepped on.
Possible Cause:
Too high engine idling speed (not attributable to AT).

7A3-2 ON-VEHICLE SERVICE (JR405E)
DESCRIPTION
Before performing on-vehicle service on the automatic
transmission, check that the engine idling speed and
general engine condition are normal.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (ATF)
Inspect
Remove the transmission dipstick to check the condition
of the ATF.
Clean the dipstick and look for gum or varnish.
Gum or varnish indicate scorching of the clutch band
and other parts.
The transmission control module, the transmission unit,
and the vehicle must be carefully checked if gum or
varnish is present.
ATF LEVEL
Inspect
Hot Level
1. Warm up the engine and the transmission by driving
the vehicle on the road so that the temperature
reaches around 80C (176F).
Do not turn the engine off.
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
3. Apply the parking brake firmly.
4. Let the engine run at idle.
Move the select lever slowly through all the gea
r
ranges.
Stop in each gear range just long enough for the
transmission to engage.
5. Return the select lever to either “P” or “N”.
C07RW009
6. Remove the ATF level dipstick.
7. Wipe the dipstick clean with a paper towel.
8. Reinsert the dipstick and wait several seconds.
9. Remove the dipstick.
The ATF level should be inside the “H” range on the
dipstick.
242R300001
If the ATF level is below the “H” range, ATF must be
added.
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE (JR405E) 7A3-3
Cold Level
The vehicle must not have been driven so that the
temperature reaches around 20C (68F) before the
cold level check is made.
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Apply the parking brake firmly.
3. Start the engine and allow it to warm up.
The engine coolant temperature gauge needle
should be midway between the “C” mark and “H”
mark.
4. Let the engine run at idle.
Move the select lever slowly through all the gea
r
ranges.
Stop in each range just long enough for the
transmission to engage.
5. Return the select lever either “P” or “N”.
6. Remove the ATF level dipstick.
7. Wipe the dipstick clean with a paper towel.
8. Reinsert the dipstick and wait several seconds.
9. Remove the dipstick.
The ATF level should be inside the “C”range on the
dipstick.
If the ATF level is below the “C” range, ATF must be
added.
242R300002
ATF CHANGE
1. Start the engine and allow it to idle until the ATF
reaches a temperature of 40-50C
2. Park the vehicle on level ground and block the
wheels.
3. Stop the engine.
4. Raise vehicle and support with suitable safety
stands.
5. Remove the drain plug from the oil pan and drain the
ATF (approximately 6 liters).
6. Remove the oil pan.
7. Inspect the oil pan (details written below).
8. Install the oil pan.
Note:
Use new gasket. Clean the oil pan and magnet.
Oil pan bolt torque : 8 Nm (69 lbin)
9. Replace the gasket and install the drain plug.
Drain plug torque : 35 Nm (26 lbft)
Note:
Do not reuse old washer (gasket).
Clean the drain plug (especially the threaded section).
10. Pour about 5 liters of new ATF. Then, add more ATF
carefully as necessary using the dipstick.
Refer to “ATF LEVEL” previously in this section.
Note:
Keep the engine idle (do not stop it) during the oil level
adjustment.
11. Remove the safety stands and wheel blocks. Inspect
1. Check the drain plug tip for adhesion of foreign
substances.
2. Check the drained ATF for color, smell and inclusion
of foreign substances.
3. Check the oil pan bottom and magnet for adhesion o
f
foreign substances.
If a problem is discovered during those checks, the
Automatic transmission must be overhauled.
Note:
The torque converter and the oil strainer need replaced
with new ones if the drained ATF contains large
amounts of metallic or facing flakes.
In addition, flush the ATF cooler circuit
