Step 2. DTC / Freeze Frame Data Check, Record and Clearance
First, referring to “DTC Check”, check DTC and pending DTC. If DTC exists, print or write down DTC and freeze frame
data and then clear malfunction DTC(s) by referring to “DTC Clearance”. Malfunction DTC indicates malfunction in the
system but it is not possible to know from it whether the malfunction is occurring now or it occurred in the past and
normal condition has been restored. In order to know that, check symptom in question according to Step 5 and then
recheck DTC according to Step 6.
Diagnosing a trouble based on the DTC in this step only or fa ilure to clear the DTC in this step may result in an faulty
diagnosis, trouble diagnosis of a normal circuit or difficulty in troubleshooting which is otherwise unnecessary.
Step 3 and 4. Visual Inspection
As a preliminary step, be sure to perform visual check of the items that support proper function of the engine and
automatic transaxle referring to “Visual Inspection”.
Step 5. Trouble Symptom Confirmation
Check trouble symptoms based on information obtained in “Step 1. Customer Complaint Analysis: ” and “Step 2. DTC
/ Freeze Frame Data Check, Record and Clearance: ”.
Also, reconfirm DTC according to “DTC Confirmation Procedure” described in each DTC flow.
Step 6 and 7. Rechecking and Record of DTC and Freeze Frame Data
Refer to “DTC Check” for checking procedure.
Step 8. A/T Basic Check and A/T Symptom Diagnosis
Perform basic check of A/T according to “A/T Basic Check” first. When the end of the flow has been reached, check
the parts of the system suspected as a possible cause referring to “A/T Symptom Diagnosis” and based on symptoms
appearing on the vehicle (symptoms obtained through step s of customer complaint analysis, trouble symptom
confirmation and/or A/T basic check) and re pair or replace faulty parts, if any.
Step 9. Troubleshooting for DTC
Based on the DTC indicated in Step 6 / 7 and referring to “a pplicable DTC flow”, locate the cause of the trouble,
namely in a sensor, switch, wire harness, connector, actuator, TCM or other part and repair or replace faulty parts.
Step 10. Check for Intermittent Problem
Check parts where an intermittent trouble is easy to occur (e.g . wire harness, connector, etc.), referring to “Intermittent
and Poor Connection Inspection in Section 00” and related circuit of DTC recorded in Step 2.
Step 11. Final Confirmation Test
Confirm that the problem symptom has gone and the vehicl e is free from any abnormal conditions. If what has been
repaired is related to the malfunction DTC, clear the DTC once and check to ensure that no malfunction DTC is
indicated.

Time Lag TestS7RS0B5104015
This test is to check conditions of clutch, brake and fluid pressure. “Time lag” means time elapsed since select lever is
shifted with engine idling till shock is felt.
1) With chocks placed before and behind front and rear wheels respectively, depress brake pedal.
2) Start engine.
3) With stop watch ready, shift select lever from “N” to “D” range an d measure time from that moment till shock is felt.
4) Similarly measure time lag by shifting select lever from “N” to “R” range.
Gear shifting time lag
“N” → “D”: Less than 0.7 sec.
“N” → “R”: Less than 1.2 sec.
NOTE
• When repeating this test, be sure to wait at least one minute after select lever is shifted back to “N”
range.
• Engine should be warmed up fully for this test.

Line Pressure TestS7RS0B5104016
Purpose of this test is to check operat ing conditions of each part by measuring fluid pressure in fluid pressure line.
Line pressure test requires the following conditions.
• Automatic fluid is at normal operating temperature (70 – 80 °C / 158 – 176 °F).
• Fluid is replenished to proper level (between FULL and LOW on dipstick).
• Air conditioner switch is turned OFF.
1) Apply parking brake securely and place chocks against wheels.
2) Remove fluid pressure check hole plug bolt.
3) Attach oil pressure gauge to fluid pr essure check hole in transaxle case.
Special tool
(A): 09925-37811-001
CAUTION!
After attaching oil pressure gauge, check that no fluid leakage exists.
4) Depress foot brake fully, run engine at idle and stall then check fluid pressure in “D” or “R” range.
CAUTION!
• Do not continue running engine at stall speed longer than 5 seconds.
• After performing line pressure test, be sure to leave engine running at idle for longer than one minute before performing another line pressure test.
