MANUAL SHIFTING TEST
1. PERFORM MANUAL SHIFTING TEST
HINT:
• With this test, it can be determined whether the
trouble occurs in the electrical circuit or is a
mechanical problem in the transaxle.
• If any abnormalities are found in the following test, the
problem is in the transaxle itself.
(a) Disconnect the connector of the transmission wire.
(b) Drive with the transmission wire disconnected.
Shifting the shift lever in the order of L, 2, 3, 4 and D
position to check whether the shifting condition
changes the table below.
HINT:
When driving with the transmission wire
disconnected, the shift lever position is in L or 2, the
gear position is held in 3rd and the shift lever
position is in 3, 4 or D, the gear position is held in
4th. However, when the shift position is in R or P, the
operation is same as usual.
(c) Connect the connector of the transmission wire.
(d) Clear the DTC (See page AX-27).

REMOVAL
1. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY
TERMINAL
2. REMOVE ENGINE UNDER COVER NO.1
3. DRAIN AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID
(a) Remove the drain plug and gasket, and drain the
AT F.
(b) Install a new gasket and the drain plug.
Torque: 49 N*m (500 kgf*cm, 36 ft.*lbf)
4. REMOVE AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE OIL PAN SUB-
ASSEMBLY
(a) Remove the 18 bolts, oil pan and gasket.
NOTICE:
Some fluid will remain in the oil pan. Carefully
remove the oil pan so that fluid remaining in the
pan does not spill out.
(b) Remove the 2 magnets from the oil pan.
(c) Examine particles in the pan.
(1) Collect any steel chips using the removed
magnets. Look carefully at the chips and
particles in the pan and on the magnets to see
the type of wear which might be found in the
transaxle.
Result:
Steel (magnetic):
Wear of the bearing, gear or plate
Brass (non-magnetic):
Wear of the bearing
5. DISCONNECT TRANSMISSION WIRE
(a) Disconnect the 7 shift solenoid valve connectors.
(b) Remove the bolt and lock plate, and disconnect the
ATF temperature sensor.
