ROAD TEST
Description
The road test checks overall performance of the A/T and analyzes possible malfunction causes.
The road test is carried out in the following three stages.
1. Check before engine is started. Refer to AT- 5 6
.
2. Check at idle. Refer to AT- 5 7
.
3. Cruise test
Inspect all the items from Part 1 to Part 3. Refer to AT- 5 8 , AT- 6 0 , AT- 6 1 .
Before beginning the road test, check the test procedure and inspection items.
Test all inspection items until the symptom is uncovered. Diagnose NG items when all road tests are com-
plete.
Check Before Engine Is StartedACS002LZ
1. CHECK A/T CHECK INDICATOR LAMP
1. Park vehicle on level surface.
2. Move selector lever to “P” position.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
4. Turn ignition switch ON.
Does A/T CHECK indicator lamp light up for about 2 seconds?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Stop the road test and go to AT- 1 9 3 , "
A/T CHECK Indicator Lamp Does Not Come On" .
2. CHECK A/T CHECK INDICATOR LAMP
Does A/T CHECK indicator lamp flash for about 8 seconds?
YES >> For TCM fail-safe mode, perform self-diagnostics and record all NG items on the AT- 4 7 , "DIAG-
NOSTIC WORKSHEET" . Refer to AT- 9 3 , "SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULT MODE" , AT- 1 0 3 , "Diag-
nostic Procedure without CONSULT-II" .
NO >> 1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Perform self-diagnostics and record all NG items on the AT- 4 7 , "
DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET"
. Refer to AT- 9 3 , "SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULT MODE" , AT- 1 0 3 , "Diagnostic Procedure with-
out CONSULT-II" .
3. Go to AT- 5 7 , "
Check at Idle" .
Stall speed Oil pressure does
not rise higher than
the oil pressure for
idle. Possible causes include a sensor malfunction or malfunction in the pressure adjustment function.
For example
Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction
TCM breakdown
Line pressure solenoid malfunction (shorting, sticking in ON state)
Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
Pilot valve sticking or pilot filter clogged
The pressure rises,
but does not enter
the standard posi-
tion. Possible causes include malfunctions in the pressure supply system and malfunction in the pres-
sure adjustment function.
For example
Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction
Line pressure solenoid malfunction (sticking, filter clog)
Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
Pilot valve sticking or pilot filter clogged
Only low for a spe-
cific position Possible causes include an oil pressure leak in a passage or device related to the position after
the pressure is distributed by the manual valve.

Diagnostic Procedure without CONSULT-IIACS008CZ
OBD-II SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (WITH GST)
Refer to EC-144, "Generic Scan Tool (GST) Function" (for VQ35DE) or EC-835, "Generic Scan Tool (GST)
Function" (for VK45DE).
OBD-II SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (NO TOOLS)
Refer to EC-69, "Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)" (for VQ35DE) or EC-760, "Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL)" (for VK45DE).
TCM SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (NO TOOLS)
Description
In the unlikely event of a malfunction in the electrical system, when the ignition switch is switched “ON”, the A/
T CHECK indicator lamp lights up for 2 seconds, then flashes for 8 seconds. If there is no malfunction, when
the ignition switch is turned “ON”, the indicator lamp lights up for 2 seconds. As a method for locating the sus-
pect circuit, when the self-diagnostics start signal is input, the memory for the malfunction location is output
and the A/T CHECK indicator lamp flashes to display the corresponding DTC.
Diagnostic Procedure
1. CHECK A/T CHECK INDICATOR LAMP
1. Start the engine with selector lever in “P” position. Warm engine to normal operating temperature.
2. Turn ignition switch “ON” and “OFF” at least twice, then leave it in the “OFF” position.
3. Wait 10 seconds.
4. Turn ignition switch “ON”. (Do not start engine.)
Does A/T CHECK indicator lamp come on for about 2 seconds?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> GO TO AT- 1 9 3
.
2. JUDGEMENT PROCEDURE STEP 1
1. Turn ignition switch “OFF”.
2. Push shift lock release button.
3. Move selector lever from “P” to “D” position.
4. Release accelerator pedal. (Set the closed throttle position signal “ON”.)
5. Depress brake pedal. (Stop lamp switch signal “ON”.)
6. Turn ignition switch “ON”. (Do not start engine.)
7. Wait 3 seconds.
>> GO TO 3.
3. JUDGEMENT PROCEDURE STEP 2
1. Move the selector lever to the manual shift gate side. (Manual mode switch “ON”.)
2. Release brake pedal. (Stop lamp switch signal “OFF”.)
3. Move the selector lever to “D” position. (Manual mode switch “OFF”.)
4. Depress brake pedal. (Stop lamp switch signal “ON”.)
5. Release brake pedal. (Stop lamp switch signal “OFF”.)
6. Depress accelerator pedal fully and release it.

INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
After installation is completed, adjust and check A/T position. Refer to AT- 2 3 5 , "Adjustment of A/T Posi-
tion" and AT- 2 3 5 , "Checking of A/T Position" .
Adjustment of A/T PositionACS002RR
1. Loosen nut of control rod.
2. Place PNP switch and selector lever in “P” position.
3. While pressing lower lever toward rear of vehicle (in “P” position direction), tighten nut to specified torque.
CAUTION:
Do not push the bracket.
Checking of A/T PositionACS002RS
1. Place selector lever in “P” position, and turn ignition switch ON (Do not start engine).
2. Check selector lever can be shifted to other than “P” position when brake pedal is depressed. Also check selector lever can be shifted from “P” position only when brake pedal is depressed.
3. Move the selector lever and check for excessive effort, sticking, noise or rattle.
4. Check the selector lever stops at each position with the feel of engagement when it is moved through all the positions. Check whether or not the actual position the selector lever is in matches the position shown
by the shift position indicator and the transmission body.
5. The method of operating the lever to individual positions cor- rectly should be as shown in the figure.
6. When selector button is pressed in “P”, “R”, or “N” position with- out applying forward/backward force to selector lever, check but-
ton operation for sticking.
7. Check the back-up lamps illuminate only when lever is placed in the “R” position. Check the back-up lamps does not illuminate
when selector lever is pushed against “R” position in the “P” or
“N” position.
8. Check the engine can only be started with the selector lever in the “P” and “N” positions.
9. Check transmission is locked completely in “P” position.
10. When selector lever is set to manual shift gate, check manual mode is displayed on combination meter. Shift selector lever to “+” and “-” sides, and check set shift position changes. : 26 N·m (2.7 kg-m, 19 ft-lb)

Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in CompressorAJS00149
The lubricant in the compressor circulates through the system with the refrigerant. Add lubricant to compres-
sor when replacing any component or after a large refrigerant leakage occurred. It is important to maintain the
specified amount.
If lubricant quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions may result:
Lack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor.
Excessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)
LUBRICANT
LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Adjust the lubricant quantity according to the test group shown below.
1. CHECK LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Can lubricant return operation be performed?
A/C system works properly.
There is no evidence of a large amount of lubricant leakage.
CAUTION:
If excessive lubricant leakage is noted, never perform the lubricant return operation.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> GO TO 3.
2. PERFORM LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION, PROCEEDING AS FOLLOWS
1. Start engine, and set the following conditions:
–Engine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm
–A/C switch: ON
–Blower speed: Max. position
–Temp. control: Optional [Set so that intake air temperature is 25 to 30 °C (77 to 86 °F).]
–Intake position: Recirculation (REC)
2. Perform lubricant return operation for about 10 minutes.
3. Stop engine.
>> GO TO 3.
3. CHECK REPLACEMENT PART
Should the compressor be replaced?
