GENERAL DESCRIPTION
REAR AXLE27-2
GENERAL DESCRIPTIONM1271000100326
The rear axle has the following features:
The wheel bearing incorporates a unit ball bear-
ing (double-row angular contact ball bearing) for
reduced friction.
The rear wheel hub assembly combines the hub,
wheel bearing, and oil seal in a single unit for
fewer parts, better durability, improved assembly
precision, and better structural organization.
ABS rotor for detecting the wheel speeds is
press-fitted to the rear hub.

INTRODUCTION TO REAR AXLE DIAGNOSISM1271004100254
Noise from the rear axle may be caused by defects in
the components.
REAR AXLE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGYM1271004200273
Use these steps to plan your diagnostic strategy. If
you follow them carefully, you will be sure that you
have exhausted most of the possible ways to find a
rear axle fault.
1. Gather information from the customer.2. Verify that the condition described by the
customer exists.
3. Find the malfunction by following the Symptom
Procedures.
4. Verify malfunction is eliminated.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DIAGNOSIS
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION23A-36
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.
.
