CATALYTIC CONVERTER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION (CATALYTIC CONVERTER)M1173005300131
The three way catalytic converter, together with the
closed loop air-fuel ratio control based on the oxygen
sensor signal, oxidizes carbon monoxides (CO) and
hydrocarbons (HC), also reduces nitrogen oxides
(NOx). When the mixture is controlled at stoichiometric
air-fuel ratio, the three way catalytic converter pro-
vides the highest purification against the three con-
stituents, namely, CO, HC and NOx.

A/T DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGYM1231007600339
Use these steps to plan your diagnostic strategy. If
you follow them carefully, you will find most A/T mal-
functions.
1. Gather as much information as possible about the
complaint from the customer.
2. Verify that the condition described by the
customer exists.
3. Check the vehicle for any A/T Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTCs).
4. If you can not verify the condition and there are no
DTCs, the malfunction is intermittent. For
information on how to cope with intermittent
malfunctions, refer to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points
How
to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction P.00-14.
5. If you can verify the condition but there are no
DTCs, or the system can not communicate with
diagnostic tool, refer to the Symptom Chart
P.23A-35.6. If there is a DTC, record the number of the code,
then erase the code from memory using
diagnostic tool.
7. Reconfirm the symptom with a Road Test.
8. If a DTC is set again, go to the Inspection Chart
for Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
9. If a DTC is not set again, the malfunction is
intermittent. For information on how to cope with
intermittent malfunctions, refer to GROUP 00,
How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service
Points
How to Cope with Intermittent
Malfunction P.00-14.
10.After repairs are completed, conduct a Road Test
duplicating the complaint conditions to confirm the
malfunction has been eliminated.
DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTIONM1231022500135
CHECK "N" RANGE LIGHT
The "N" range light flashes once per second if there is an
abnormality in any of the items in the table below which are
related to the A/T system. Check for diagnostic trouble codes if
the "N" range light is flashing once per second.
NOTE: The "N" indicator lamp warning function does not
operate with the selector lever in the "P" (PARK), "R"
(REVERSE) or "N" (NEUTRAL) position.
"N" range light flashing items
Input shaft speed sensor
Output shaft speed sensor
Each solenoid valve
Gear incorrect ratio
A/T control relay system
If the "N" range light is flashing rapidly (twice per second),
the transmission fluid temperature is too high. (It flashes
when the fluid is approximately 125
C or more and goes
off when the fluid is approximately 115
C or less)
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS
The automatic transmission -electronic control unit
(A/T-ECU) monitors its input/output signals (some
signals all the time and others under specified condi-
tions). When an irregular signal is initially monitored,
the A/T-ECU decides that a malfunction has
occurred and records the occurrence as a diagnostic
trouble code. The diagnostic results can be read with diagnostic tool. Diagnostic trouble codes are kept in
memory by direct battery feed. The codes are
retained in memory even if the ignition switch is in
the "LOCK" (OFF) position. DTCs are not erased
even after the battery terminals and the A/T-ECU
connector are disconnected. In addition, the diagnos-
tic trouble code can also be erased by diagnostic
tool.

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 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

Engine speed: 1,000 r/min or more.
Output speed: 1,000 r/min or more.
Accumulated time in above condition: 10 min-
utes.

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

Cope with Intermittent Malfunction P.00-14.
NO : Go to Step 2.
