LASER BEAM AIMING ADJUSTMENTPFP:00026
OutlineAKS006YI
Adjust the laser beam aiming every time the ICC sensor is removed or installed.
CAUTION:

Place the vehicle on the level ground when the laser beam aiming adjustment is operated.

Follow the CONSULT-II when adjusting the laser beam aiming (laser beam aiming adjustment can-
not be operated without CONSULT-II).
PreparationAKS006YJ

Adjust the tire pressure to the specified value.

See that there is no load in the vehicle.

Coolant, engine oil filled up to correct level and full fuel tank.

Shift the gear into “P” position and release the parking brake.

Clean the ICC sensor with a soft cloth.
Outline of Adjustment ProcedureAKS006YK
1. Set up the ICC target board [KV99110100 (J-45718)].
2. Adjust the sensor following the procedure on CONSULT-II. (Turn manually the screw for up-down position adjustment. ICC sensor automatically adjust the right-left position.)
Setting the ICC Target BoardAKS006YL
Accurate ICC target board setting is required for the laser beam aiming adjustment.
CAUTION:
ICC system does not function normally if laser beam aiming is not accurate.
ADJUSTING HEIGHT OF THE TARGET
1. Attach a triangle scale at the center.

Control ValveACS002LM
FUNCTION OF CONTROL VALVE
Name Function
Torque converter regulator valve In order to prevent the pressure supplied to the torque converter from being excessive,
the line pressure is adjusted to the optimum pressure (torque converter operating pres-
sure).
Pressure regulator valve
Pressure regulator plug
Pressure regulator sleeve Adjusts the oil discharged from the oil pump to the optimum pressure (line pressure) for
the driving state.
Front brake control valve When the front brake is coupled, adjusts the line pressure to the optimum pressure
(front brake pressure) and supplies it to the front brake. (In 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th gears,
adjusts the clutch pressure.)
Accumulator control valve Adjusts the pressure (accumulator control pressure) acting on the accumulator piston
and low coast reducing valve to the pressure appropriate to the driving state.
Pilot valve A Adjusts the line pressure and produces the constant pressure (pilot pressure) required
for line pressure control, shift change control, and lock-up control.
Pilot valve B Adjusts the line pressure and produces the constant pressure (pilot pressure) required
for shift change control.
Low coast brake switching valve During engine braking, supplies the line pressure to the low coast brake reducing valve.
Low coast brake reducing valve When the low coast brake is coupled, adjusts the line pressure to the optimum pressure
(low coast brake pressure) and supplies it to the low coast brake.
N-R accumulator Produces the stabilizing pressure for when N-R is selected.
Direct clutch piston switching valve Operates in 4th gear and switches the direct clutch coupling capacity.
High and low reverse clutch control valve When the high and low reverse clutch is coupled, adjusts the line pressure to the opti-
mum pressure (high and low reverse clutch pressure) and supplies it to the high and low
reverse clutch. (In 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th gears, adjusts the clutch pressure.)
Input clutch control valve When the input clutch is coupled, adjusts the line pressure to the optimum pressure
(input clutch pressure) and supplies it to the input clutch. (In 4th and 5th gears, adjusts
the clutch pressure.)
Direct clutch control valve When the direct clutch is coupled, adjusts the line pressure to the optimum pressure
(direct clutch pressure) and supplies it to the direct clutch. (In 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears,
adjusts the clutch pressure.)
TCC control valve
TCC control plug
TCC control sleeve Switches the lock-up to operating or released. Also, by performing the lock-up operation
transiently, lock-up smoothly.
Torque converter lubrication valve Operates during lock-up to switch the torque converter, cooling, and lubrication system
oil passage.
Cool bypass valve Allows excess oil to bypass cooler circuit without being fed into it.
Line pressure relief valve Discharges excess oil from line pressure circuit.
N-D accumulator Produces the stabilizing pressure for when N-D is selected.
Manual valve Sends line pressure to each circuit according to the select position. The circuits to which
the line pressure is not sent drain.

LINE PRESSURE TEST
Line Pressure Test Port
Line Pressure Test Procedure
1. Inspect the amount of engine oil and replenish if necessary.
2. Drive the car for about 10 minutes to warm it up so that the ATF reaches in range of 50 to 80 °C (122 to
176 °F), then inspect the amount of ATF and replenish if necessary.
NOTE:
The A/T fluid temperature rises in range of 50 to 80 °C (122 to 176 °F) during 10 minutes of driving.
3. Remove the front propeller shaft from vehicle (with AWD models). Refer to PR-5, "
Removal and Installa-
tion" .
4. After warming up remove the oil pressure detection plug and install the oil pressure gauge [ST2505S001(J-34301-C)].
CAUTION:
When using the oil pressure gauge, be sure to use the O-
ring attached to the oil pressure detection plug.
5. Securely engage the parking brake so that the tires do not turn.

6. Start the engine, then measure the line pressure at both idle and
the stall speed.
CAUTION:

Keep the brake pedal pressed all the way down during
measurement.

When measuring the line pressure at the stall speed,
refer to AT- 5 2 , "
STALL TEST" .
7. After the measurements are complete, install the oil pressure detection plug and tighten to the specified torque.
CAUTION:

Do not reuse the O-ring.

Apply ATF to the O-ring.

Idle speed Low for all positions
(“P”, “R”, “N”, “D”,

For example

Oil pump wear

Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking or spring fatigue

Oil strainer
oil pump
pressure regulator valve passage oil leak

Engine idle speed too low
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.
High Possible causes include a sensor malfunction or malfunction in the line pressure adjustment func-
tion.
For example

Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction

ATF temperature sensor malfunction

Line pressure solenoid malfunction (sticking in OFF state, filter clog, cut line)

Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking

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.
