INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Using the intelligent tester to perform ACTIVE TEST allows relays, VSVs, actuators and other items to be
operated without removing any parts. This non-intrusive functional inspection can be very useful because
intermittent operation may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Performing ACTIVE TEST
early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time. DATA LIST information can be displayed while
performing ACTIVE TEST.
1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST
(a) Warm up the engine.
(b) Turn the ignition switch off.
(c) Connect the intelligent tester together with the CAN VIM (controller area network vehicle
interface module) to the DLC3.
(d) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(e) Turn on the tester.
(f) Select the item "DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TEST / SHIFT".
(g) According to the display on the tester, perform the "ACTIVE TEST".
HINT:
While driving, the shift position can be forcibly changed with the intelligent tester.
Comparing the shift position commanded by the ACTIVE TEST with the actual shift position enables you
to confirm the problem (See page AX-30).
HINT:
• This test can be conducted when the vehicle speed is 50 km/h (31 mph) or less.
• The shift position commanded by the ECM is shown in the DATA LIST/SHIFT display on the intelligent
tester.
(a) Connect the intelligent tester together with the CAN VIM
(controller area network vehicle interface module) to the
DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and turn the
OBD II scan tool or the intelligent tester main switch ON.
(c) When you use intelligent tester:
Select the item "DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II /
DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES".
(d) Read the DTCs using the OBD II scan tool or the
intelligent tester.

DESCRIPTION
The shift solenoid valve DSL is turned "ON" and "OFF" by signals from the ECM in order to control the
hydraulic pressure operation, the lock-up relay valve, which then controls operation of the lock-up clutch.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
Torque converter lock-up is controlled by the ECM based on engine rpm, engine load, engine
temperature, vehicle speed, transmission temperature, and shift range selection. The ECM determines
the lock-up status of the torque converter by comparing the engine rpm (NE) to the input turbine rpm (NT).
The ECM calculates the actual transmission gear by comparing input turbine rpm (NT) to counter gear
rpm (NC). When conditions are appropriate, the ECM requests "lock-up" by applying control voltage to the
shift solenoid DSL. When the DSL is opened, it applies pressure to the lock-up relay valve and locks the
torque converter clutch. If the ECM detects an open or short in the DSL solenoid circuit, the ECM
interprets this as a fault in the DSL solenoid or circuit. The ECM will turn on the MIL and store the DTC.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses the signals from the throttle position sensor, air-flow meter, turbine (input) speed sensor,
intermediate (counter) shaft speed sensor and crankshaft position sensor to monitor the engagement
condition of the lock-up clutch.
Then the ECM compares the engagement condition of the lock-up clutch with the lock-up schedule in the
ECM memory to detect a mechanical problems of the shift solenoid valve DSL, valve body and torque
converter clutch.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
Torque converter lock-up is controlled by the ECM based on the speed sensor (NT), speed sensor (NC),
engine rpm, engine load, engine temperature, vehicle speed, transmission temperature, and gear
selection. The ECM determines the lock-up status of the torque converter by comparing the engine rpm
(NE) to the input turbine rpm (NT). The ECM calculates the actual transmission gear by comparing input
turbine rpm (NT) to counter gear rpm (NC). When conditions are appropriate, the ECM requests "lock-up"
by applying control voltage to the shift solenoid DSL. When the DSL is turned on, it applies pressure to the
lock-up relay valve and locks the torque converter clutch.
If the ECM detects no lock-up after lock-up has been requested or if it detects lock-up when it is not
requested, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the shift solenoid valve DSL or lock-up system
performance. The ECM will turn on the MIL and store the DTC.
HINT:
Example:
When any of the following is met, the system judges it as a malfunction.
• There is a difference in rotation between the input side (engine speed) and output side (input turbine
speed) of the torque converter when the ECM commands lock-up.
(Engine speed is at least 100 rpm greater than input turbine speed.)
• There is no difference in rotation between the input side (engine speed) and output side (input turbine
speed) of the torque converter when the ECM commands lock-up off.
(The difference between engine speed and input turbine speed is less than 35 rpm.)

HINT:
• This test can be conducted when the vehicle speed is 60 km/h (37 mph) or more.
• This test can be conducted in the 5th gear.
(h) Lightly depress the accelerator pedal and check that the engine speed does not change
abruptly.
HINT:
• When changing the accelerator pedal opening angle while driving, if the engine speed does
not change, lock-up is on.
• Slowly release, but not fully, the accelerator pedal in order to decelerate. (Fully releasing the
pedal will close the throttle valve and lock-up may be turned off.)
