INSPECTION & ADJUSTMENT
1) Shift select lever to ªNº range.
2) Check that center line on manual valve shaft and ªNº reference
line on switch are aligned. If not, loosen switch bolt and align
them.
3) Check that engine starts in ªNº and ªPº ranges but it doesn't start
in ªDº, ª2º, ªLº or ªRº range. Also, check that back-up lamp lights
in ªRº range.
4) If faulty condition cannot be corrected by adjustment, discon-
nect transmission range switch coupler and check that continu-
ity exists as shown by moving select lever.

A / T OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR
INSPECTION
Check A / T output speed sensor for resistance between terminals
of sensor or PCM coupler.
A / T output speed sensor
resistance value : 387 ± 473 at 20C, 68F
O / D CUT SWITCH
INSPECTION
Check O / D cut switch for operation referring to step 4 of Diag. Flow
Table B-2 in this section.
If malfunction is found, replace.
SOLENOID VALVES
(Shift solenoid valves & TCC solenoid valve)
INSPECTION
With couplers of PCM disconnected and using service wire as
shown at the left, check each solenoid valve for clicking sound.

REMOVAL
1) Pull out dipstick and lift up vehicle.
2) With engine cooled, remove drain plug from oil pan and drain
A / T fluid.
3) Install drain plug with gasket.

4) Remove exhaust pipe bracket and disconnect front propeller
shaft from front differential (if equipped).
5) Remove oil pan bolts.
6) Remove oil pan.
7) Remove oil tubes.
8) Remove solenoid valve No.1 (shift solenoid valve A and B) or so-
lenoid valve No.2 (TCC solenoid valve).
OPERATION CHECK
Whenever shift solenoid valves and TCC (lock-up) solenoid valve
are removed from transmission, verify their valve function physical-
ly before they are reinstalled.
1) Apply oiler to solenoid valve and give compression by hands
and then check to be sure that transmission fluid from oiler does
not come out of holes in solenoid valve when battery voltage is
not conducted.
2) Under the same conditions as above, conduct battery voltage
and then make sure that fluid comes out with vigor.
NOTE:
If fluid does not come out with vigor in above step 2 in-
spection, do not re-use that solenoid valve.
Figure at the left shows shift solenoid valve check.
Check TCC solenoid valve also in the same way.

12) Remove engine to transmission nuts.
13) Disconnect connectors from VSS, output speed sensor, input
speed sensor, TR switch, shift & TCC solenoid valves and oth-
er electrical parts, and release their wire harness from clamps.
14) Apply transmission jack and take off rear mounting member by
removing its bolts.
15) With transmission (and transfer if equipped) assembly held up
on jack, move them to the rear and lower them including torque
converter.
WARNING:
Transmission (and transfer if equipped) assembly may
tilt rearward on jack. It is recommended to use an auxil-
iary arm of jack for the purpose of safety.
AFTER DISMOUNTING
WARNING:
Be sure to keep transmission (and transfer if equipped) as-
sembly horizontal throughout the work. Should they be
tilted, torque converter may fall off and cause personal inju-
ry and A / T fluid may flow out.
1) Remove breather hoses.
2) Remove transfer by removing its bolts, if equipped.
