(b) Measure the time lag.
(1) When the shift lever is shifted while the engine is idling, there will be a certain time lapse or lag
before the shock can be felt. This is used for checking the condition of the direct clutch, forward
clutch, and 1st and reverse brake.
NOTICE:
Do the test at normal operating ATF temperature 50 to 80C (122 to 176F).
Be sure to allow 1 minute interval between tests.
Take 3 measurements and take the average value.
(2) Chock the 4 wheels.
(3) Connect the hand±held tester to DLC3 or tachome-
ter to terminal TAC of DLC3 with SST.
SST 09843±18030
(4) Start engine and check idle speed.
Idle speed: 650 50 rpm (In N range and A/C OFF)
(5) Shift the lever from N to D range. Using a stop
watch, measure the time from when the lever is
shifted until the shock is felt.
Time lag: N D less than 1.2 seconds
(6) In the same way, measure the time lag for N R.
Time lag: N R less than 1.5 seconds
Evaluation (If N D or N R time lag is longer than the specified):
ProblemPossible cause
N D time lag is longer
Line pressure too low

(a) Measure the line pressure.
NOTICE:
Do the test at normal operation ATF temperature 50 to 80C (122 to 176F).
The line pressure test should always be carried out in pairs. One technician should observe
the conditions of wheels or wheel stopper outside the vehicle while the other is doing the test.
Be careful to prevent SST's hose from interfering with the exhaust pipe.
(1) Warm up the ATF.
(2) Remove the test plug on the rear side of the trans-
axle case and connect SST.
SST 09992±00095 (09992± 00231, 09992±00271)
(3) Fully apply the parking brake and chock the 4
wheels.
(4) Connect the hand±held tester to DLC3.
(5) Start the engine and check idling speed.
(6) Keep your left foot pressing firmly on the brake ped-
al and shift into D range.
(7) Measure the line pressure when the engine is idling.
(8) Depress the accelerator pedal all the way down.
Quickly read the highest line pressure when engine
speed reaches stall speed.

(8) Simulate the conditions of the malfunction de-
scribed by the customer.
NOTICE:
Leave the ignition switch ON until you have checked the
DTCs, etc.
(9) After simulating the malfunction conditions, use the
hand±held tester diagnosis selector to check the
DTCs and freeze frame data, etc.
HINT:
Take care not to turn the ignition switch OFF, as turning it off
switches the diagnosis system from Check mode to Normal
mode, which all DTCs etc. are erased.
(10) After checking the DTC, inspect the applicable cir-
cuit.
(b) Clear the DTC.
When using the hand±held tester:
The following operation will erase the DTC and freeze
frame data. Operate the hand±held tester to erase the
codes.
(c) Clear the DTC.
When not using the hand±held tester:
Remove the EFI fuse from engine room J/B for 10 se-
conds or more.
4. DATA LIST
HINT:
According to the DATA LIST displayed by the hand±held tester, you can read the value of the switch, sensor,
actuator and so on without parts removal. Reading the DATA LIST as the first step of troubleshooting is one
of the methods to shorten the work time.
(a) Warm up the engine.
(b) Turn the ignition switch OFF.
(c) Connect the hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(d) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(e) According to the display on tester, read the ºDATA LISTº.

7.ROAD TEST
NOTICE:
Conduct the test at normal operating ATF temperature 50 to 80 C (122 to 176 F).
(a)D range test Shift into the D range and fully depress the accelerator pedal and check\
the following points:
(1)Check up±shift operation.Check to see that 1 2, 2 3 and 3 O/D up±shift take place, and that the shift points conform
to the automatic shift schedule (See page 03±45).
HINT:
O/D Gear Up±shift Prohibition Control (1. Water temp. is 60 C (140 F) or less. 2. If there is a 10 km/h
(6 mph) difference between the set cruise control speed and vehicle speed.)
O/D Gear Lock±up Prohibition Control (1. Brake pedal is depressed. 2. Water temp. is 60 C (140 F)
or lower)
(2)Check for shift shock and slip. Check for shock and slip at the 1 2, 2 3 and 3 O/D up±shift.
(3)Check for abnormal noise and vibration.
Run in D range lock±up or O/D gear and check for abnormal noise and v\
ibration.
HINT:
The check for the cause of abnormal noise and vibration must be done very t\
horoughly as it could also be
sure to loss of balance in the differential, torque converter, etc. (4)Check kick±down operation.While running in the D range, 2nd, 3rd and O/D gears, check to see that the p\
ossible kick±down
vehicle speed limits for 2 1, 3 2 and O/D 3 kick±downs conform to those indicated in the
automatic shift schedule (See page 03±45).
(5) Check for abnormal shock and slip at kick±down.
(6) Check the lock±up mechanism.
Drive in D range O/D gear, at a steady speed (lock±up ON) of about 60 km/h (37 mph).
Lightly depress the accelerator pedal and check that the engine speed does not change
abruptly.
If there is a big jump in engine speed, there is no lock±up.
(b) S range test Shift to the S range, depress the accelerator pedal and check the follow\
ing points:
Shift operations.
Shifting the shift lever to º+º or º±º changes the shift \
range on the combination meter.
HINT:
Manual shift prohibition control is performed when:
The ATF temperature is low.
Down±shifting causes engine overrun.
Down±shifting is required continuously. (Down±shifting to 1st gear may not be performed.)
(c) R range test Shift into the R range and fully depress the accelerator pedal and check\
for slipping.
CAUTION:
Before conducting this test, ensure that the test area is free from peop\
le and obstruction.
(d) P range test Stop the vehicle on a grade (more than 5 ) and after shifting into the P range, release the parking
brake. Then, check to see that the parking lock pawl holds the vehicle in plac\

8. MECHANICAL SYSTEM TESTS
(a) Measure the stall speed.
The object of this test is to check the overall performance of the transaxle and engine by measuring
the stall speeds in the D and R ranges.
NOTICE:
Do the test at normal operating ATF temperature 50 to 80C (122 to 176F).
Do not continuously run this test for longer than 5 seconds.
To ensure safety, do this test in a wide, clear level area which provides good traction.
The stall test should always be carried out in pairs. One technician should observe the condi-
tions of wheels or wheel stoppers outside the vehicle while the other is doing the test.
(1) Chock the 4 wheels.
(2) Connect the hand±held tester to DLC3 or tachome-
ter to terminal TAC of DLC3 with SST.

STOP LIGHT SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this circuit is to prevent the engine from stalling while driving in lock±up condition, when
brakes are suddenly applied.
When the brake pedal is depressed, this switch sends a signals to the ECM. Then the ECM cancels the op-
eration of the lock±up clutch while braking is in progress.
