Inspections Before Trouble DiagnosisACS002LY
A/T CHECK
A/T Fluid Leakage and A/T Fluid Level Check

Check for A/T fluid leakage and check the A/T fluid level. Refer to AT- 1 3 , "Checking A/T Fluid" .
A/T Fluid Condition Check
Inspect the A/T fluid condition.
STALL TEST
Stall Test Procedure
1. Inspect the amount of engine oil. Replenish the engine oil if necessary.
2. Drive for about 10 minutes to warm up the vehicle so that the A/ T fluid temperature is 50 to 80 °C (122 to 176 °F). Check the
amount of ATF. Replenish if necessary.
3. Securely engage the parking brake so that the tires do not turn.
4. Start engine, apply foot brake, and place selector lever in “D” position.
Fluid condition Conceivable Cause Required Operation
Varnished (viscous
varnish state) Clutch, brake
scorched Replace the ATF and check the A/T
main unit and the vehicle for mal-
functions (wire harnesses, cooler
pipes, etc.)
Milky white or
cloudy Water in the fluid
Replace the ATF and check for
places where water is getting in.
Large amount of
metal powder mixed
in Unusual wear of
sliding parts within

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.
