Precautions
Precautions in Diagnosing TroubleS7RS0B5100001
• Do not disconnect couplers from TCM, battery cable from battery, TCM ground wire harness from engine or
main fuse before checking the diagnostic information
(DTC, freeze frame data, etc.) stored in TCM memory.
Such disconnection will clea r memorized information
in TCM memory.
• Diagnostic information stored in TCM memory can be cleared as well as checked by using SUZUKI scan
tool or generic scan tool. Before using scan tool, read
its Operator’s (Instruction) Manual carefully to have
good understanding as to what functions are available
and how to use it.
It is indistinguishable wh ich module turns on MIL
because not only ECM but also TCM turns on MIL.
Therefore, check both ECM and TCM for DTC when
MIL lights on.
When checking TCM for DTC, keep in mind that DTC
is displayed on the scan tool as follows depending on
the scan tool used.
– SUZUKI scan tool displays DTC detected by TCM.
– Generic scan tool displays DTC detected by each of ECM and TCM simultaneously.
• Using SUZUKI scan tool the diagnostic information stored in TCM memory can be checked and cleared
as well. Before its use, be sure to read Operator’s
Manual supplied with it carefully to have good
understanding of its functions and usage.
• Be sure to read “Precautions for Electrical Circuit Service in Section 00” befo re inspection and observe
what is written there.
• TCM replacement
– When substituting a known-good TCM, check that all relays and actuators have resistance of
specified value.
Neglecting this check may result in damage to good
TCM.
• Communication of ECUs , ECM, TCM, ABS control
module, keyless start control module and BCM is
established by CAN (Controller Area Network).
Therefore, handle CAN communication line with care
referring to “Precaution for CAN Communication
System in Section 00”.
Precautions for Disassembly and ReassemblyS7RS0B5100002
When repairing automatic transaxle, it is necessary to
conduct the on-vehicle test to investigate where the
cause of the trouble lies first.
Then whether overhaul should be done or not is
determined. If the transaxle is disassembled without
such preliminary procedure, not only the cause of the
trouble would be unknown, but also a secondary trouble
may occur and often time would be wasted.
As the automatic transaxle consists of high precision
component, the following cautions should be strictly
observed when handling its parts in disassembly and
reassembly.
• Disassembling valve body assembly is prohibited
essentially. However, a few parts can be
disassembled. When disassembling valve body
component parts, confirm whether their parts are
allowed to disassemble or not referring to “Valve Body
Assembly Disassembly and Reassembly”.
• When component part of forward clutch, direct clutch, 2nd brake and/or O/D and 2nd coast brake, namely
clutch disc, brake disc, retaining plate and/or
separator plate, have been replaced, all learned
contents, which have been stored in TCM memory by
executing learning control, should be initialized
referring to “Learning Control Initialization”.
• Make sure to wash dirt off from the transaxle so that no such dirt will enter the transaxle during
dismounting and remounting.
• Select a clean place free from dust and dirt for overhauling.
• Place a rubber mat on the work bench to protect parts from damage.
• Work gloves or shop cloth should not be used. (Use a nylon cloth or a paper towel.)
• When separating the case joint, do not pry with a screwdriver or such but tap with a plastic hammer
lightly.
• Make sure to wash dirt off from the transaxle so that no such dirt will enter the transaxle during
disassembly and reassembly.
• Wash the disassembled parts in ATF (Automatic Transaxle Fluid) or kerosene (using care not to allow
ATF or kerosene to get on your face, etc.) and confirm
that each fluid passage is not clogged by blowing air
into it. But use kerosene to wash the discs, resin
washers and rubber parts.
• Replace each gasket, oil seal and O-ring with a new one.
• Apply ATF to sliding or rotating parts before
reassembly.
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 5A-2 Automatic Transmission/Transaxle:
CAUTION!
• Keep component parts in group for each subassembly and avoid mixing them up.
• Clean all parts with cleaning solvent thoroughly and air dry them.
• Use kerosene or automatic transaxle fluid as cleaning solvent.
• Do not use wiping cloths or rags to clean or dry parts.
• All oil passages should be blown out and checked to make sure that they are not
obstructed.
• Keep face and eyes away from solvent spray while air blowing parts.
• Check mating surface for irregularities and remove them, if any, and clean it again.
• Soak new clutch discs and brake discs in transaxle fluid for at least 2 hours before
assembly.
• Replace all gaskets and O-ring with new ones.
• Apply automatic transaxle fluid to all O- rings.
• When installing seal ring, be careful so that it is not expanded excessively, extruded or
caught.
• Replace oil seals that are removed and apply grease to their lips.
• Before installing, be sure to apply automatic transaxle fluid to sliding, rolling
and thrusting surface of all component
part. Also after installation, make sure to
check each part for proper operation.
• Always use torque wrench when tightening bolts.
• A new discs should be soaked in ATF at least 2 hours before use.

General Description
A/T DescriptionS7RS0B5101001
This automatic transaxle is electronic control full automatic transaxle with forward 4-speed and reverse 1-speed.
The torque converter is a 3-element, 1-step and 2-phase type and is equipped with an automatically controlled lock-up
mechanism.
The gear change device consists of a ravigneau type planet ary gear unit, 3 multiple disc type clutches, 3 multiple disc
type brakes and 2 one-way clutches.
The hydraulic pressure control device consists of a valve body assembly, pressure control solenoid valve (linear
solenoid), 2 shift solenoid va lves, TCC pressure control solenoid valve (lin ear solenoid) and a timing solenoid valve.
Optimum line pressure complying with engine torque is produced by the pressure control solenoid valve in
dependence upon control signal from transmission control module (TCM). This makes it possible to control the line
pressure with high accuracy in accordance with the engine power and running conditions to achieve smooth shifting
characteristics and high efficiency.
A clutch-to-clutch control system is prov ided for shifting between 3rd gear and 4th gear. This clutch-to-clutch control
system is made to function optimally , so that hydraulic pressure controls such as shown below are conducted.
• When upshifting from 3rd gear to 4th gear, to adjust the drain hydraulic pressure at releasing the forward clutch, a
timing solenoid valve is used to switch a hydraulic passage with an orifice to another during shifting.
• When downshifting from 4th gear to 3rd gear, to adjust the line pressure applied to the forward clutch at engaging the forward clutch, a timing solenoid valve is used to s witch a hydraulic passage with an orifice to another during
shifting.
• When upshifting from 3rd gear to 4th gear with engine throttle opened, to optimize the line pressure applied to the forward clutch at releasing the forward clutch, the learning control is processed to compensate the switching timing
of the timing solenoid at every shifting.
• When downshifting from 4th gear to 3rd gear with engine throttle opened, to optimize the line pressure applied to
the forward clutch at engaging the forw ard clutch, the learning control is processed to compensate the line pressure
at every shifting.
Employing the ravigneau type planetary gear unit and this clutch-to-clutch control system greatly simplifies the
construction to make possible a lightweight and compact transaxle.
A line pressure learning control is conducted to provide opti mum shifting time at every upshifting with engine throttle
opened. If long upshifting time is detected, the subsequent line pressure applied during upshifting is intensified. On the
contrary, if short upshifting time is detected, the subs equent line pressure applied during upshifting is weakened.
Slip controlled lock-up function
Even at a lower speed than when the TCC gets engaged completely, control over the TCC pressure control solenoid
works to cause the TCC to slip (be engaged slightly), ther eby improving the transmission efficiency. While such slip
control is being executed, the oil pressure applied to the TCC is controlled by the TCC pressure control solenoid so
that the difference between the engine speed and the input shaft speed becomes close to the specified value.
Also, during deceleration, the TCC is made to slip (be enga ged slightly) to raise the engine speed and enlarge the fuel
cut operation range so that better fuel consumption is achieved.
Due to this reason, it is absolutely necessary for the automati c transmission to use ATF suitable for slip control. Use of
any fluid other than the specified ATF may cause j uddering or some other faulty condition to occur.

WARNING!
Before test, make sure that there is no vehicle behind so as to prevent rear-end collision.
1) While driving vehicle in 3rd gear of “D” range, shift select lever down to “2” range and check if engine brake
operates.
2) In the same way as in Step 1), check engine brake for operation when select lever is shifted down to “L” range.
3) Engine brake should operate in the test.
Troubleshooting
Stall TestS7RS0B5104014
This test is to check overall performance of automatic tr ansaxle and engine by measuring stall speed at “D” and “R”
ranges. Be sure to perform this test only when transaxle fluid is at normal operating temperature and its level is
between FULL and LOW marks.
CAUTION!
• Do not run engine at stall more than 5 seconds continuously, or fluid temperature may rise excessively high.
• After performing stall test, be su re to leave engine running at idle for longer than 1 minute before
another stall test.
1) Apply parking brake and block wheels.
2) Install tachometer.
3) Start engine with select lever shifted to “P” range.
4) Depress brake pedal fully.
5) Shift select lever to “D” range and depress accelerator pedal fully while watching tachometer. Read engine rpm quickly when it has become constant (stall speed).
6) Release accelerator pedal immediately after stall speed is checked.
7) In the same way, check stall speed in “R” range.

Troubleshooting
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.
