Shift Solenoid Valve A and B
If non-standard solenoid signal is sent to TCM, use of certain gears is limited. Refer to chart shown below.

: Solenoid ON
×: Solenoid OFF
–: Non-standard condition
Line Pressure Solenoid Valve
If non-standard solenoid signal is sent to TCM, line pressure solenoid valve is turned OFF to achieve maxi-
mum oil pressure.
Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Valve
If non-standard solenoid signal is sent to TCM, torque converter clutch solenoid valve is turned OFF to release
lock-up.
Overrun Clutch Solenoid Valve
If non-standard solenoid signal is sent to TCM, overrun clutch solenoid valve is turned OFF to engage overrun
clutch. This will result in more effective engine brake during deceleration.

How to Perform Trouble Diagnoses for Quick and Accurate RepairUCS005M N
INTRODUCTION
The TCM receives a signal from the vehicle speed sensor, accelera-
tor pedal position sensor or PNP switch and provides shift control or
lock-up control via A/T solenoid valves.
The TCM also communicates with the ECM by means of a sig-
nalsent from sensing elements used with the OBD-related parts of
theA/T system for malfunction-diagnostic purposes. The TCM is
capa-ble of diagnosing malfunctioning parts while the ECM can store
mal-functions in its memory.
Input and output signals must always be correct and stable in the
operation of the A/T system. The A/T system must be in good oper-
ating condition and be free of valve seizure, solenoid valve malfunc-
tion, etc.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a malfunction that occurs intermittently rather than continuously. Most
intermittent malfunctions are caused by poor electric connections or improper wiring. In this case, careful
checking of suspected circuits may help prevent the replacement of good parts.
A visual check only, may not find the cause of the malfunctions. A
road test with CONSULT-II or a circuit tester connected should be
performed. Follow the AT-46, "
WORK FLOW" .
Before undertaking actual checks, take a few minutes to talk with a
customer who approaches with a driveability complaint. The cus-
tomer can supply good information about such malfunctions, espe-
cially intermittent ones. Find out what symptoms are present and
under what conditions they occur. A “DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET”
like the example (AT- 4 7 , "
DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET" ) should be
used.
Start your diagnosis by looking for “conventional” malfunctions first.
This will help troubleshoot driveability malfunctions on an electroni-
cally controlled engine vehicle.
Also check related Service bulletins for information.

STALL TEST
Stall Test Procedure
1. Check ATF and engine oil levels. If necessary, add ATF and
engine oil.
2. Drive vehicle for approximately 10 minutes or until ATF and
engine oil reach operating temperature.
3. Set parking brake and block wheels.
4. Install a tachometer where it can be seen by driver during test.

It is good practice to mark the point of specified engine
rpm on indicator.
5. Start engine, apply foot brake, and place selector lever in “D”
position.

6. Accelerate to wide open throttle gradually while applying foot
brake.
7. Quickly note the engine stall revolution and immediately release
throttle.
CAUTION:
Do not hold down the accelerator pedal for more than 5 sec-
onds during this test.
8. Move selector lever to “N” position.
9. Cool off ATF.
CAUTION:
Run the engine at idle for at least 1 minute.
10. Repeat steps 6 through 9 with selector lever in “2”, “1” and “R”
positions.
Judgement of Stall Test
The test result and possible damaged components relating to each result are shown in the illustrations on next
page.
In order to pinpoint the possible damaged components, refer to AT-46, "
Work Flow Chart" .
NOTE:
Stall revolution is too high in “D”, “2”, or “1” position:

Slippage occurs in 1st gear but not in 2nd and 3rd gears. ..... Low one-way clutch slippage

Slippage occurs in the following gears:
1st through 3rd gears in “D” position and engine brake functions with OD OFF. (OD OFF indicator lamp is
on.)
1st and 2nd gears in “2” position and engine brake functions with accelerator pedal released (fully closed
throttle)...... Forward clutch or forward one-way clutch slippage
Stall revolution is too high in “R” position:

Engine brake does not function in “1” position. ..... Low & reverse brake slippage

Engine brake functions in “1” position. ..... Reverse clutch slippage
Stall revolution within specifications:

Vehicle does not achieve speed of more than 80 km/h (50 MPH). ..... One-way clutch seizure in torque
converter housing
CAUTION:
Be careful because automatic fluid temperature increases abnormally:

Slippage occurs in 3rd and 4th gears in “D” position. ..... High clutch slippage

Slippage occurs in 2nd and 4th gears in “D” position. ..... Brake band slippage

Engine brake does not function in 2nd and 3rd gears in “D” position, 2nd gear in “2” position, and 1st gear
in “1” position with OD OFF. (OD OFF indicator lamp is on.) ..... Overrun clutch slippage
Stall revolution less than specifications:

Poor acceleration during starts. ..... One-way clutch seizure in torque converterStall revolution: 2,300 - 2,750 rpm

Line Pressure Test Procedure
1. Check ATF and engine oil levels. If necessary, add ATF or

2. Drive vehicle for approx. 10 minutes or until engine oil and ATF
reach operating temperature.
3. Install oil pressure gauge to corresponding line pressure test
port.
