Step 2. DTC / Freeze Frame Data Check, Record and
Clearance
First, referring to “DTC Check”, check DTC and pending
DTC. If DTC exists, print or write down DTC and freeze
frame data and then clear malfunction DTC(s) by
referring to “DTC Clearance”. Malfunction DTC indicates
malfunction in the system but it is not possible to know
from it whether the malfunction is occurring now or it
occurred in the past and normal condition has been
restored. In order to know that, check symptom in
question according to Step 5 and then recheck DTC
according to Step 6.
Diagnosing a trouble based on the DTC in this step only
or failure to clear the DTC in this step may result in an
faulty diagnosis, trouble diagnosis of a normal circuit or
difficulty in troubleshooting which is otherwise
unnecessary.
Step 3 and 4. Visual Inspection
As a preliminary step, be sure to perform visual check of
the items that support proper function of the engine and
automatic transaxle referring to “Visual Inspection”.
Step 5. Trouble Symptom Confirmation
Check trouble symptoms based on information obtained
in “Step 1. Customer Complaint Analysis: ” and “Step 2.
DTC / Freeze Frame Data Check, Record and
Clearance: ”.
Also, reconfirm DTC according to “DTC Confirmation
Procedure” described in each DTC flow.
Step 6 and 7. Rechecking and Record of DTC and
Freeze Frame Data
Refer to “DTC Check” for checking procedure.Step 8. A/T Basic Check and A/T Symptom
Diagnosis
Perform basic check of A/T according to “A/T Basic
Check” first. When the end of the flow has been reached,
check the parts of the system suspected as a possible
cause referring to “A/T Symptom Diagnosis” and based
on symptoms appearing on the vehicle (symptoms
obtained through steps of customer complaint analysis,
trouble symptom confirmation and/or A/T basic check)
and repair or replace faulty parts, if any.
Step 9. Troubleshooting for DTC
Based on the DTC indicated in Step 6 / 7 and referring to
“applicable DTC flow”, locate the cause of the trouble,
namely in a sensor, switch, wire harness, connector,
actuator, TCM or other part and repair or replace faulty
parts.
Step 10. Check for Intermittent Problem
Check parts where an intermittent trouble is easy to
occur (e.g. wire harness, connector, etc.), referring to
“Intermittent and Poor Connection Inspection in Section
00” and related circuit of DTC recorded in Step 2.
Step 11. Final Confirmation Test
Confirm that the problem symptom has gone and the
vehicle is free from any abnormal conditions. If what has
been repaired is related to the malfunction DTC, clear
the DTC once and check to ensure that no malfunction
DTC is indicated.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) CheckS6RW0D5104003
Refer to the same item in “Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Check in Section 1A” for checking procedure.
Transmission Warning Light Check (Non-Euro-OBD model)S6RW0D5104053
1) Turn ignition switch ON.
2) Check that transmission warning light lights for about 2 – 4 sec. and then goes OFF.
If anything faulty is found, advance “Transmission Warning Light Circuit Check – Light Does Not Come “ON” at
Ignition Switch ON (Non-Euro-OBD Model)” or “Transmission Warning Light Circuit Check – Light Remains “ON”
at Ignition Switch ON (Non-Euro-OBD Model)”.
DTC TableS6RW0D5104004
NOTE
• There are two types of OBD system depending on the vehicle specification.For identification, refer
to “Precaution on On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System in Section 1A”.
• For non-Euro-OBD model, some of DTC No. with (*) mark in the following table can not be detected
by TCM depending on vehicle specification and local regulation.
• With the CAN communication OBD generic scan tool, DTC No. with delta ( U) mark in the following
table can not be read.
• A: Driving cycles when MIL lighting and storing DTC in TCM memory for Euro OBD model.
• B: Driving cycles when transmission warning light lighting and storing DTC in TCM memory for non-
Euro-OBD model.
• 1 driving cycle: MIL or transmission warning light lights up when DTC is detected during 1 driving
cycle.
• 2 driving cycles: MIL or transmission warning light lights up when the same DTC is detected also in
the next driving cycle after DTC is detected and stored temporarily in the first driving cycle.
• Driving cycle with (*): MIL or transmission warning light does not light up but TCM detects and
stores DTC.
Also check the following items at engine start, if possible.
• Malfunction indicator lamp ----- Operation “Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Check”
• Transmission warning light ----- Operation “Transmission Warning Light Check (Non-Euro-
OBD model)”
• Charge warning lamp ----- Operation “Generator Symptom Diagnosis in Section 1J”

Stall TestS6RW0D5104013
This test is to check overall performance of automatic transaxle 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 sure 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.
8) Stall speed should be within the following specification.
Engine stall speed
Standard: 2,200 – 2,600 rpm

Time Lag TestS6RW0D5104014
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 and 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.
• Repeat test 3 times and take average of those data for final time lag data.
Troubleshooting
Line Pressure TestS6RW0D5104015
Purpose of this test is to check operating conditions of each part by measuring fluid pressure in fluid pressure line.
Line pressure test requires the following conditions.
• Automatic fluid is at normal operating temperature (70 – 80 °C / 158 – 176 °F).
• Fluid is replenished to proper level (between FULL and LOW on dipstick).
• Air conditioner switch is turned OFF.
1) Apply parking brake securely and place chocks against wheels.
2) Remove fluid pressure check hole plug bolt.
3) Attach oil pressure gauge to fluid pressure check hole in transaxle case.

4) Depress foot brake fully, run engine at idle and stall then check fluid pressure in “D” or “R” range.
CAUTION!
• Do not continue running engine at stall speed longer than 5 seconds.
• After performing line pressure test, be sure to leave engine running at idle for longer than one
minute before performing another line pressure test.

“P” Range TestS6RW0D5104016
1) Stop vehicle on a slope of 5 degrees or more, shift select lever to “P” range and at the same time apply parking
brake.
2) After stopping engine, depress brake pedal and release parking brake.
3) Then, release brake pedal gradually and check that vehicle remains stationary.
4) Depress brake pedal and shift select lever to “N” range.
5) Then, release brake pedal gradually and check that vehicle moves.
