HINT:
*: Drive at such a speed in the uppermost gear to engage
lock-up. The vehicle can be driven at a speed lower than the
speed shown in the above diagram under the lock-up
condition.
NOTICE:
It is necessary to drive the vehicle for approximately 30
minutes to detect DTC P0711 (Transmission fluid
temperature sensor "A" performance).

PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
HINT:
• Use the table below to help determine the cause of the
problem symptom. The potential causes of the symptoms
are listed in order of probability in the "Suspected area"
column of the table. Check each symptom by checking the
suspected areas in the order they are listed. Replace parts
as necessary.
• The Matrix Chart is divided into 2 chapters. When
troubleshooting, check Chapter 1 first. If instructions are
given in Chapter 1 to proceed to 2, proceed as instructed.
• If the instruction "Proceed to next circuit inspection shown
in problem symptoms table" is given in the flowchart for
each circuit, proceed to the next suspected area in the
table.
• If the problem still occurs even though there are no
malfunctions in any of the circuits, check the ECM and
replace it if necessary.

TERMINALS OF ECM
1. CHECK ECM
(a) Measure the voltage of the ECM connector.
HINT:
Each ECM terminal's standard voltage is shown in
the table below.
In the table, first follow the information under
"Condition". Look under "Symbols (Terminal No.)"
for the terminals to be inspected. The standard
voltage between the terminals is shown under
"Specified Condition".
Use the illustration above as a reference for the
ECM terminals.
