7A2-152 TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (JR405E)
Output Shaft Speed (OSS) Sensor
Legend1. OSS sensor
2. Parking gear
The output shaft speed (OSS) sensor is located on
right-hand of the transmission case near the
transmission range switch. The OSS sensor is a hall
effect element type sensor, which generates a square
wave signal pulse based on the parking gear rotational
speed that is connected to output shaft (16 pulses per a
rotation of the parking gear that is fitted with the output
shaft by spline). The TCM calculates the vehicle speed
by the OSS sensor signal, and uses it to determine
appropriate shift points and calculate gear ratio. The
2WD vehicle outputs the vehicle speed signal from the
TCM to the engine control module (ECM) and the
vehicle speed meter via output signal line.
Transmission Control System Description
Transmission Control Module (TCM) Service
Precautions
Important:
To avoid shock and possible serious injury, DO NOT
touch the terminals. When disconnecting the harness
connectors, always turn OFF the ignition switch or
disconnect the battery cable.
The transmission control module (TCM) is designed to
withstand normal current draws associated with vehicle
operation. Avoid overloading any circuit. When testing
for opens and shorts, do not ground or apply voltage to
any of the TCM circuits unless instructed to do so. In
some cases, these circuits should only be tested using
a DMM. The TCM should remain connected to the TCM
harness. The TCM is located next to brake pedal via
mounting bracket. The TCM mainly controls the
gearshift system control and on-board diagnostic for
transmission control. The TCM constantly observes the
information from various sensors. The TCM controls
the systems that affect vehicle performance. The TCM
performs the diagnostic function of the system. The
TCM can recognize operational problems, alert the
driver through the check trans lamp, and store
diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). DTCs identify the
system faults to aid the technician in making repairs.

Check Trans Lamp Operation
The check trans lamp is located in the instrument panel
cluster. The check trans lamp indicates that a transmission
related fault has occurred and vehicle service is
required. The following is a list of the modes of
operation for the check trans lamp:
• The check trans lamp illuminates for approximately 3 seconds when the ignition switch is turned ON,
with the engine OFF. This is a bulb test to the
check trans lamp is able to illuminate.
• The check trans lamp turns OFF after the engine is started if a diagnostic fault is not present.
• The check trans lamp remains blink after the engine is started if the TCM detects a fault. A DTC
is stored any time the TCM blinks the check trans
lamp due to a transmission related fault has
occurred.

7A3-2 ON-VEHICLE SERVICE (JR405E)
DESCRIPTION
Before performing on-vehicle service on the automatic
transmission, check that the engine idling speed and
general engine condition are normal.
For shift interlock function, if the ignition key is out of
“LOCK” position, the shift lever select button can not be
pushed. (shift lever can not be operated.)

RTW 77ASH000901

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (ATF)
Inspect
Remove the transmission dipstick to check the condition
of the ATF.
Check the color and smell of the ATF.
If the ATF is abnormal color or smells burnt, replace it
and investigate the cause of trouble.
Coloor of ATF Condition Clear red Normality
Blackish discoloration Defects of power train
parts (clutches)
W hite turbidity Include water
Discoloration of red brown Deterioration of ATF

ATF LEVEL
Inspect
Hot Level
1. W arm up the engine and the transmission by driving
the vehicle on the road so that the temperature
reaches around 80 °C (176 °F).
Do not turn the engine off.
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
3. Apply the parking brake firmly.
4. Let the engine run at idle.
Move the select lever slowly through all the gea
r
positions.
Stop in each gear position just long enough for the transmission to engage.
5. Return the select lever to either “P” or “N”.
6. Remove the ATF level dipstick.
7. W ipe the dipstick clean with a paper towel.
8. Reinsert the dipstick and wait several seconds.
9. Remove the dipstick.
The ATF level should be inside the “H” range on the dipstick.

RTW 07ASH000101

Inspect
1. Check the drain plug tip for adhesion of foreign
substances.
2. Check the drained ATF for color, smell and inclusion of foreign substances.
3. Check the oil pan bottom and magnet for adhesion o
f
foreign substances.
If a problem is discovered during those checks, the Automatic transmission must be overhauled.
Note:
The torque converter and the oil strainer need replacing
with new ones if the drained ATF contains large
amounts of metallic or facing flakes.
In addition, flush the ATF cooler circuit.
