5. CHECK SHIFT-UP D4 → D5
Press down the accelerator pedal about half-way and inspect if the vehicle shifts up (D4 → D5) at the appro-
priate speed. Refer to AT- 6 3 , "
Vehicle Speed at Which Gear Shifting Occurs" .
With CONSULT-II
Read the gear position, throttle degree of opening and vehicle speed. Refer to AT- 9 6 , "
DATA MONITOR
MODE" .
Does the A/T shift-up D4
→ D5 at the correct speed?
YES >> GO TO 6.
NO >> Enter a check mark at AT- 2 0 7 , "

With CONSULT-II
Select “TCC SOLENOID” with the “MAIN SIGNAL” mode for “A/T”. Refer to AT- 9 0 , "
CONSULT-II REFER-
ENCE VALUE" .
Does it lock-up?
YES >> GO TO 7.
NO >> Enter a check mark at AT- 2 0 9 , "
A/T Does Not Lock-up" on the AT- 4 8 , "DIAGNOSTIC WORK-
SHEET" , then continue the road test.
7. CHECK LOCK-UP HOLD
Check hold lock-up.
With CONSULT-II
Select “TCC SOLENOID” with the “MAIN SIGNAL” mode for “A/T”. Refer to AT- 9 0 , "
CONSULT-II REFER-
ENCE VALUE" .
Does it maintain lock-up status?
YES >> GO TO 8.
NO >> Enter a check mark at AT- 2 1 0 , "
A/T Does Not Hold Lock-up Condition" on the AT- 4 8 , "DIAGNOS-
TIC WORKSHEET" , then continue the road test.
8. CHECK LOCK-UP RELEASE
Check lock-up cancellation by depressing brake pedal lightly to decelerate.
With CONSULT-II
Select “TCC SOLENOID” with the “MAIN SIGNAL” mode for A/T. Refer to AT- 9 0 , "
CONSULT-II REFERENCE
VA L U E" .
Does lock-up cancel?
YES >> GO TO 9.
NO >> Enter a check mark at AT- 2 1 2 , "
Lock-up Is Not Released" on the AT- 4 8 , "DIAGNOSTIC WORK-
SHEET" , then continue the road test.

CONSULT-II Function (A/T)NCS001KH
CONSULT-II can display each diagnostic item using the diagnostic test modes shown following.
FUNCTION
CONSULT-II REFERENCE VALUE
NOTICE:
1. The CONSULT-II electrically displays shift timing and lock-up timing (that is, operation timing of each sole-
noid).
Check for time difference between actual shift timing and the CONSULT-II display. If the difference is
noticeable, mechanical parts (except solenoids, sensors, etc.) may be malfunctioning. Check mechanical
parts using applicable diagnostic procedures.
2. Shift schedule (which implies gear position) displayed on CONSULT-II and that indicated in Service Man-
ual may differ slightly. This occurs because of the following reasons:
–Actual shift schedule has more or less tolerance or allowance,
–Shift schedule indicated in Service Manual refers to the point where shifts start, and
–Gear position displayed on CONSULT-II indicates the point where shifts are completed.
3. Display of solenoid valves on CONSULT-II changes at the start of shifting, while gear position is displayed
upon completion of shifting (which is computed by TCM).

Judgement Self-diagnosis Code
If there is a malfunction, the lamp lights up for the time corresponding to the suspect circuit.
Erase Self-diagnosis
In order to make it easier to find the cause of hard-to-duplicate malfunctions, malfunction information is
stored into the control unit as necessary during use by the user. This memory is not erased no matter how
many times the ignition switch is turned ON and OFF.
However, this information is erased by turning ignition switch OFF after performing self-diagnostics or by
erasing the memory using the CONSULT-II.

HFC-134a (R-134a) Service Tools and EquipmentNJS000FX
Never mix HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant and/or its specified lubricant with CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and/or
its lubricant.
Separate and non-interchangeable service equipment must be used for handling each type of refrigerant/lubri-
cant.
Refrigerant container fittings, service hose fittings and service equipment fittings (equipment which handles
refrigerant and/or lubricant) are different between CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a). This is to avoid
mixed use of the refrigerants/lubricant.
Never use adapters that convert one size fitting to another: refrigerant/lubricant contamination occurs and
compressor malfunction may result.
