TORQUE CONVERTER STALL TESTM1231005400362
This test measures the maximum engine speed when the
selector lever is in the "D" or "R" position and the torque con-
verter stalls. This tests the operation of the torque converter,
starter motor and one-way clutch operation, as well as the hold-
ing performance of the clutches and brakes in the transmission.
Do not let anyone stand in front of or behind the vehi-
cle while this test is performed.
1. Check the transmission fluid level and temperature. Check
the engine coolant temperature.
Transmission fluid level: At the "HOT" mark on the dipstick
Transmission fluid temperature: 70 80C
Engine coolant temperature: 80 100C
NOTE: Measures transmission fluid temperature with
diagnostic tool MB991958 (MUT-III sub assembly).
2. Check both rear wheels.
3. Pull the parking brake lever on, with the brake pedal fully
depressed.
4. Start the engine. 9 Transmission

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DIAGNOSIS
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION23A-26
The throttle should not be fully open for any more than
five seconds.
If you repeat the stall test when the transmission fluid
temperature is greater than 80
C, move the selector
lever to the "N" position and let the engine run at
approximately 1,000 r/min for at least one minute. Wait
until the transmission fluid temperature returns to 80
C
or less.
5. Move the selector lever to the "D" position. Fully depress the
accelerator pedal and read the maximum engine speed at
this time.
Standard value: Stall speed: 2,100
2,600 r/min
6. Move the selector lever to the "R" position. Fully depress the
accelerator pedal and read the maximum engine speed.
Standard value: Stall speed: 2,100
2,600 r/min

LINE PRESSURE ADJUSTMENTM1231001700361
1. Drain the transmission fluid.
NOTE: The hydraulic pressure test must be performed
before attempting any adjustments.
2. Remove the valve body cover.
3. Turn the adjusting screw shown in the illustration to adjust
the line pressure to the standard value in "D" range 1st or
2nd gear. The pressure increases when the screw is turned
counterclockwise approximately 35 kPa for each turn.
NOTE: When adjusting the line pressure, adjust to the mid-
dle of the standard value range.
Standard value: 980
1050 kPa
4. Install the valve body cover. Pour in the standard volume of
automatic transmission fluid.
5. Repeat the hydraulic pressure test. (Refer to P.23A-26).
Readjust the line pressure if necessary.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHARTM1231007900330
During diagnosis, a DTC code associated with
other system may be set when the ignition switch
is turned on with connector(s) disconnected. On
completion, confirm all systems for DTC code(s).
If DTC code(s) are set, erase them all.
NOTE: The A/T diagnostic trouble codes are the codes which are set when item "A/T" is selected on
diagnostic tool MB991958 (MUT-III sub assembly). However, the some codes above indicate failure in the
MPI system.A/T DTC

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE PROCEDURES
(P0713): Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor System (Open Circuit)
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
The A/T-ECU connector B-22 (terminal 6) applies
5 volts to the transmission fluid temperature sen-
sor output terminal (terminal 1).
The transmission fluid temperature sensor circuit
is grounded to the A/T-ECU connector B-22 (ter-
minal 12).
When the transmission fluid temperature is cold,
the transmission fluid temperature sensor resis-
tance is high. When the transmission fluid tem-
perature is hot, the transmission fluid
temperature sensor resistance is low.
.
DTC SET CONDITIONS
Check Conditions
Engine speed: 1,000 r/min or more.
Output speed: 1,000 r/min or more.
Accumulated time in above condition: 10 min-
utes.
Judgement Criteria
Transmission fluid temperature sensor voltage:
4.5 volts or more. (1 second)
.
OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN
Start the engine, drive at 60 km/h or more for 15 min-
utes in total.

DIAGNOSIS
Required Special Tool:
MB991958: Diagnostic Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)
MB991824: V.C.I.
MB991827: MUT-III USB Cable
MB991910: MUT-III Main Harness A

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DIAGNOSIS
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION23A-37
STEP 1. Using diagnostic tool MB991958, check data list
item 7: Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor.
To prevent damage to diagnostic tool MB991958, always
turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position
before connecting or disconnecting diagnostic tool
MB991958.
(1) Connect diagnostic tool MB991958 to the data link
connector.
(2) Start the engine.
(3) Set diagnostic tool MB991958 to the data reading mode.
Item 7: Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor.
When the engine is cool: Diagnostic tool display is
almost equal to the ambient temperature (atmo-
spheric temperature)
NOTE: Set diagnostic tool MB991958 to the Engine
MPI data list reading mode for item number 5, Intake
Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor and note the tempera-
ture measurement. When the engine is cool, the
temperature should be almost equal to the ambient
temperature (atmospheric temperature), and the IAT
sensor measurement should be approximately the
same as the Transmission Fluid Temperature Sen-
sor.
When the engine is warm, at approximately running
temperature: 70
80C.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the sensor operating properly?
YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.
Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points
How to
Cope with Intermittent Malfunction P.00-14.
NO : Go to Step 2.
