37. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Check for poor connections or loose
terminals at the A/C pressure sensor and the ECM/
PCM. If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a
known-good ECM/PCM (see page 11-7), then go to
step 34. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to step
1.

replace the original ECM/PCM (see page 11-228). If
any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated,
go to the indicated DTC’s troubleshooting. 1. Start the engine, and let it idle.
2. Turn the blower switch on.
3. Turn the A/C switch on.
4. Check the A/C CLUTCH in the DATA LIST with the
HDS.
Go to step 5.

Change lever Select lock
cam A
Select lock cam B Select lock return spring
Direction of reverse selection Locked position
Inhibitor OFF
At vehicle speeds of 20 km/h (12 mph) or more, the ECM, which monitors the signals from the output shaft
(countershaft) speed sensor, activates the r everse lockout solenoid, which pushes select lock cam B into the locked
position. As a result, the select lever ca nnot rotate to the reverse select position, making it impossible to engage
reverse gear. As the vehicle speed drops to 15 km/h (9 mph) or less, the ECM turns off the reverse lockout solenoid.
The select lock return spring pulls back select lock cam B, enabling the select lever to move freely so reverse gear can
be selected.

Lock-up Mechanism
14-28Automatic Transmission
System Description
The automatic transmission is a combination of a three-element torque converter and triple-shaft electronically
controlled unit which provides five speeds forward and one in reverse. The entire unit is positioned in line with the
engine.
The torque converter consists of a pump, turbine, and stator assembly in a single unit. The converter housing (pump)
is connected to the engine crankshaft and turns as the engine turns. Around the outside of the torque converter is a
ring gear which meshes with the starter drive gear when the engine is being started. The entire torque converter
assembly serves as a flywheel while transmitting power to the transmission mainshaft. The transmission has three
parallel shafts; the mainshaft, the countershaft, and the secondary shaft. The mainshaft is in line with the engine
crankshaft, and includes the 4th and 5th clutches, and gears for 5th, 4th, reverse, and idler. The mainshaft reverse gear
is integral with the mainshaft 4th gear. The countershaft includes the gears for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, reverse, park,
and the final drive. The final drive gear is integral with the countershaft. The countershaft 4th gear and the
countershaft r
everse gear can be locked to the countershaft providing 4th or r everse gear, depending on which way
the selector is moved. The secondary shaft includes the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd clutches, and gears for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and
idler. The idler gear shaft is located between the mainshaft and the secondary shaft, and the idler gear transmits
power between the mainshaft and the secondary shaft. The gears on the mainshaft and the secondary shaft are in
constant mesh with those on the countershaft. When certain combinations of gears in the transmission are engaged
by the clutches, power is transmitted through the mainshaft, then to the secondary shaft to the countershaft, or
through the mainshaft to the countershaft to provide drive.
The electronic control system consists of the powertrain control module (PCM), sensors, and shift solenoid valves.
Shifting and lock-up are electronically controlled for comfortable driving under all conditions. The PCM is located in
the engine compartment.
The valve bodies include the main valve body, the regulator valve body, and the servo body. They are bolted to the
torque converter housing. The main valve body contains the manual valve, shift valves A, B, C, and E, the relief valve,
the lock-up control valve, the cooler check valve, the servo control valve, and the ATF pump gears. The regulator valve
body contains the regulator valve, the torque converter check valve, the lock-up shift valve, and the 1st and 3rd
accumulators. The servo body contains the servo valve, shift valve D, the accumulators for 2nd, 4th, and 5th, and shift
solenoid valves A, B, C, D, and E. Fluid from the regulator passes through the manual valve to the various control
valves. The 1st, 3rd, and 5th clutches receive fluid from their respective feed pipes, and the 2nd and 4th clutches
receive fluid from the internal hydraulic circuit.
To shift gears, the PCM controls shift solenoid valves A, B, C, D, and E, and A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves
A, B, and C, while receiving input signals from various sensors and switches located throughout the vehicle. The shift
solenoid valves shift the positions of the shift valves to switch the port leading hydraulic pressure to the clutch. A/T
clutch pressure control solenoid valves A, B, and C regulate their respective pressure, and pressurize the clutches to
engage them and their corresponding gears. The pressure of the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves also
applies to the shift valves to switch the port.
The lock-up mechanism operates in D (2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears). The pressurized fluid is drained from the back of
the torque converter through a fluid passage, causing the torque converter clutch piston to be held against the torque
converter cover. As this takes place, the mainshaft rotates at the same speed as the engine crankshaft. Together with
the hydraulic control, the PCM optimizes the timing and volume of the lock-up mechanism. When shift solenoid valve
E is turned on by the PCM, shift solenoid valve E pressure switches the lock-up shift valve on and off. A/T clutch
pressure control solenoid valve A and the lock-up control valve control the degree of lock-up.

System Description (cont’d)
The PCM instantly determines which gear should be selected by various signals sent from sensors and switches, and
it actuates shift solenoid valves A, B, C, D, and E to control gear selection.
Shift solenoid valves are a normally closed type. Shift solenoid valve opens the port of shift solenoid valve pressure
leading to shift valves while shift solenoid valve is turned ON by the PCM, and closes the port when shift solenoid
valve is OFF.
The combination of driving signals to shift solenoid valves A, B, C, D, and E are shown in the table.
