NOTE: For a cruise control problem, check the clutch pedal position switch (see page 4-50).
For an engine cranking problem, check the clutch interlock switch (see page 4-8).
The clutch is self-adjusting to compensate for wear.
If there is no clearance between the master cylinder piston and the pushrod, the release bearing will be
held against the diaphragm spring, which can result
in clutch slippage or other clutch problems.
1. Lift up the carpet (A). At the insulator cutout, measure pedal height from the right side of the
pedal pad (B). 2. Loosen the clutch pedal position switch locknut (A),
and back off the clutch pedal position switch (B)
until it no longer touches the clutch pedal (C).
3. Loosen the clutch pushrod locknut (D), and turn the pushrod (E) in or out to get the specified height (F)
and stroke (G) at the clutch pedal. If adjusting the
pushrod causes the clutch pedal to contact the
clutch pedal position switch, back off the switch
further.

Axle disengaged Check the ATF level, and check the ATF cooler lines
for leaks and loose connections. If necessary, clean
the ATF cooler lines.
Check for a loose shift cable at the shift lever and
the selector control lever.
Improper alignment of ATF pump and torque
converter housing may cause ATF pump seizure.
The symptoms are mostly an rpm-related ticking
noise or a high pitched squeak.
Check the line pressure.
Be careful not to damage the torque converter
housing when replacing the main ball bearing. You
may also damage the ATF pump when you torque
down the main valve body. This will result in ATF
pump seizure if not detected. Use the proper tools.
Install the main seal flush with the torque converter
housing. If you push it into the torque converter
housing until it bottoms out, it will block the fluid
return passage and result in damage.
Check the ATF strainer for debris. If the ATF
strainer is clogged with particles of steel or
aluminum, inspect the ATF pump. If the ATF pump
is OK, find the damaged components that caused
the debris. If no cause for contamination is found,
replace the torque converter.
Inspect the differential pinion gears for wear. If the
differential pinion gears are worn, replace the
differential assembly, replace the ATF strainer,
thoroughly clean the transmission, and clean the
torque converter, cooler, and lines.

1st clutch defective Check the 1st clutch pressure.
Inspect the clutch piston, the clutch piston check
valve, and the O-rings. Check the spring retainer
and the retainer seal for wear and damage. Inspect
the clearance between the clutch end-plate and the
top disc. If the clearance is out of tolerance, inspect
the clutch discs and the plates for wear and
damage. If the discs are worn or damaged, replace
them as a set. Inspect the clutch wave-plate height.
If the height is out of tolerance, replace the wave-
plate. If the discs and the plates are OK, adjust the
clearance with the clutch end-plate.
Inspect the 1st clutch feed pipe. If the 1st clutch
feed pipe is scored, replace the end cover.
Replace the secondary shaft if the bushing for the
1st clutch feed pipe is loose or damaged.
Check the 1st accumulator piston, the O-ring, and
the springs in the regulator valve body for wear
and damage.

1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Check the BRAKE PRESS in the VSA DATA LIST
with the HDS. Do not press the brake pedal.
Check the brake pedal height and the brake
pedal position switch adjustment (see page 19-6). If
the brake pedal height is OK, replace the VSA
modulator-control unit and the brake pedal position
switch adjustment (see page 19-171).
Go to step 3.
3. Check the BRAKE SWITCH in the VSA DATA LIST with the HDS while moving the brake pedal.
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this
time.
Go to step 4.
4. Check the BRAKE SWITCH in the VSA DATA LIST with the HDS, and disconnect the brake pedal
position switch 4P connector.
Inspect the brake pedal switch and
adjustment (see page 19-6). If the switch and
adjustment are OK, replace the brake pedal
position switch (see page 19-6).
Go to step 5. 5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
6. Short the SCS line with the HDS.
7. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector A (44P).
8. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
9. Measure the voltage between brake pedal position
switch 4P connector terminal No. 2 and body
ground.
Repair short to power in the wire between
the ECM/PCM and the brake pedal position
switch.
Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the
latest software (see page 11-227), or substitute a
known-good ECM/PCM (see page 11-7), then go to
step 1, and recheck. If the ECM/PCM was updated
and DTCs are not indicated, troubleshooting is
complete. If the ECM/PCM was substituted and
DTCs are not indicated, replace the original ECM/
PCM (see page 11-228).
