On Board Diagnosis Logic
This diagnosis continuously monitors the engine coolant temperature.
If the cooling fan or another component in the cooling system malfunctions, engine coolant temperature will
rise.
When the engine coolant temperature reaches an abnormally high temperature condition, a malfunction is
indicated.

CAUTION:
When a malfunction is indicated, be sure to replace the coolant following the procedure in the LC
section, ªChanging Engine Coolantº. Also, replace the engine oil.
1) Fill radiator with coolant up to specified level with a filling speed of 2 liters per minute. Be sure to use coolant with the proper mixture ratio. Refer to MA section, ªEngine Coolant Mixture Ratioº.
2) After refilling coolant, run engine to ensure that no water-flow noise is emitted.

TCM FUNCTION
The function of the TCM is to:
IReceive input signals sent from various switches and sensors.
I Determine required line pressure, shifting point, lock-up operation, and engine brake operation.
I Send required output signals to the respective solenoids.
INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL OF TCM
Sensors and solenoid valves Function
Input Park/neutral position switch
Detects select lever position and sends a signal to TCM.
Throttle (accelerator) position sensor Detects throttle valve position and sends a signal to TCM.
Closed throttle position switch Detects throttle valve's fully-closed position and sends a signal to TCM.
Wide open throttle position switch Detects a throttle valve position of greater than 1/2 of full throttle and sends a
signal to TCM.
Engine speed signal From ECM.
A/T fluid temperature sensor Detects transmission fluid temperature and sends a signal to TCM.
Revolution sensor Detects output shaft rpm and sends a signal to TCM.
Vehicle speed sensor Used as an auxiliary vehicle speed sensor. Sends a signal when revolution sen-
sor (installed on transmission) malfunctions.
Overdrive control switch
A/T mode switch Sends a signal, which prohibits a shift to ªD
4º (overdrive) position, to the TCM.
Output Shift solenoid valve A/B
Selects shifting point suited to driving conditions in relation to a signal sent from
TCM.
Line pressure solenoid valve Regulates (or decreases) line pressure suited to driving conditions in relation to
a signal sent from TCM.
Torque converter clutch solenoid valve Regulates (or decreases) lock-up pressure suited to driving conditions in relation
to a signal sent from TCM.
Overrun clutch solenoid valve Controls an ªengine brakeº effect suited to driving conditions in relation to a sig-
nal sent from TCM.
O/D OFF indicator lamp
SPORT indicator lamp Shows TCM malfunctions, when A/T control components malfunction.

Introduction
The TCM receives a signal from the vehicle-speed sensor, throttle
(accelerator) position sensor or park/neutral position switch and
provides shift control or lock-up control via solenoid valves.
Input and output signals must always be correct and stable in the
operation of the A/T system. The A/T system must be in good
operating condition and be free of valve seizure, solenoid valve
malfunction, etc.
It is much more difficult to diagnose an incident that occurs inter-
mittently rather than continuously. Most intermittent incidents are
caused by poor electric connections or improper wiring. In this
case, careful checking of suspected circuits may help prevent the
replacement of good parts.
A visual check only may not find the cause of the incidents. A road
test with CONSULT-II or a circuit tester connected should be per-
formed. Follow the ªWork Flowº. Refer to AT-26.
Before undertaking actual checks, take a few minutes to talk with
a customer who approaches with a driveability complaint. The cus-
tomer can supply good information about such incidents, especially
intermittent ones. Find out what symptoms are present and under
what conditions they occur. A ªDiagnostic Worksheetº like the
example (AT-24) should be used.
Start your diagnosis by looking for ªconventionalº incidents first.
This will help troubleshoot driveability incidents on an electronically
controlled engine vehicle.
