A/T Interlock
lIf there is an A/T interlock judgment malfunction, the A/T is fixed in 2nd gear to make driving possible.
NOTE:
When the vehicle is driven fixed in 2nd gear, a turbine revolution sensor malfunction is displayed,
but this is not a turbine revolution sensor malfunction.
lWhen the coupling pattern below is detected, the fail-safe action corresponding to the pattern is per-
formed.
A/T INTERLOCK COUPLING PATTERN TABLE
l:NG X:OK
A/T 1st Engine Braking
When there is an A/T first gear engine brake judgment malfunction, the low coast brake solenoid is switched
OFF to avoid the engine brake operation.
Line Pressure Solenoid
The solenoid is switched OFF and the line pressure is set to the maximum hydraulic pressure to make driving
possible.
Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid
The solenoid is switched OFF to release the lock-up.
Low Coast Brake Solenoid
When a malfunction (electrical or functional) occurs, in order to make driving possible. If the solenoid is ON,
the A/T is held in 2nd gear. If the solenoid is OFF, the A/T is held in 4th gear. (Engine brake is not applied in
1st and 2nd gear.)
Input Clutch Solenoid
If a malfunction (electrical or functional) occurs with the solenoid either ON or OFF, the A/T is held in 4th gear
to make driving possible.
Direct Clutch Solenoid
If a malfunction (electrical or functional) occurs with the solenoid either ON or OFF, the A/T is held in 4th gear
to make driving possible.
Front Brake Solenoid
If a malfunction (electrical or functional) occurs with the solenoid ON, in order to make driving possible, the A/
T is held in 5th gear. If the solenoid is OFF, the A/T 4th gear.
High and Low Reverse Clutch Solenoid
If a malfunction (electrical or functional) occurs with the solenoid either ON or OFF, the A/T is held in 4th gear
to make driving possible.
Turbine Revolution Sensor 1 or 2
The control is the same as if there were no turbine revolution sensors, 5th gear is prohibited.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
How to Perform Trouble Diagnosis for Quick and Accurate Repair
ECS00FWX
INTRODUCTION
The TCM receives a signal from the vehicle speed sensor, accelera-
tor pedal position sensor or PNP switch and provides shift control or
lock-up control via A/T solenoid valves.
Input and output signals must always be correct and stable in the
operation of the A/T system. The A/T system must be in good oper-
ating condition and be free of valve seizure, solenoid valve malfunc-
tion, etc.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a error that occurs intermittently
rather than continuously. Most intermittent errors are caused by poor
electric connections or improper wiring. In this case, careful check-
ing of suspected circuits may help prevent the replacement of good
parts.
A visual check only may not find the cause of the errors. A road test
with CONSULT-II or a circuit tester connected should be performed.
Follow theAT-37, "
WORK FLOW".
Before undertaking actual checks, take a few minutes to talk with a
customer who approaches with a driveability complaint. The cus-
tomer can supply good information about such errors, especially
intermittent ones. Find out what symptoms are present and under
what conditions they occur. A “DIAGNOSTIC WORKSFEET” as
shown on the example (Refer toAT-38
) should be used.
Start your diagnosis by looking for “conventional” errors first. This will
help troubleshoot driveability errors on an electronically controlled
engine vehicle.
Also check related Service bulletins.

When the A/T changes speed D
3®D4, return accelerator pedal.
With CONSULT-II
Read the gear position. Refer toAT-83, "
DATA MONITOR MODE".
Does the A/T shift-up D
3®D4and apply the engine brake?
YES >> 1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Go toAT-51, "
Cruise Test - Part 3".
NO >> Enter a check mark at “A/T Does Not Shift: D
3®D4”onAT-38, "DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET",
then continue the road test. Go toAT-51, "
Cruise Test - Part 3".
Cruise Test - Part 3ECS00FX5
1.CHECK SHIFT-DOWN
1. Confirm overdrive control switch is ON position.
2. Confirm gear selector lever is in “D” position.
3. Accelerate vehicle using half-throttle to D
5.
4. Release accelerator pedal.
5. Set overdrive control switch to OFF position while driving in D
5.
With CONSULT-II
Read the gear position. Refer toAT-83, "
DATA MONITOR MODE".
Does A/T shift from D
5to D4(OD OFF)?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Enter a check mark at “A/T does not shift: 5th gear®4th gear” on theAT-38, "
DIAGNOSTIC
WORKSHEET", then continue the road test.
2.CHECK SHIFT-DOWN
During D
4driving, is downshift from “D”®“3”®“2”®“1” performed?
With CONSULT-II
Read the gear position. Refer toAT-83, "
DATA MONITOR MODE".
Is downshifting correctly performed?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Enter a check mark at “A/T does not shift” at the corresponding position (4th®3rd, 3rd®2nd,
2nd®1st) on theAT-38, "
DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET", then continue the road test.
3.CHECK ENGINE BRAKE
Check engine brake.
Does engine braking effectively reduce speed in 1
1position?
YES >> 1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Perform self-diagnosis. Refer toAT-80, "
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULT MODE",AT-89, "Diag-
nostic Procedure Without CONSULT-II".
NO >> Enter a check mark at “Vehicle Does Not Decelerate by Engine Brake” on theAT-38, "
