(b) Measure the time lag.
(1) When the shift lever is shifted while the engine is
idling, there will be a certain time lapse or lag
before the shock can be felt. This is used for
checking the condition of the clutch and brake.
NOTICE:
• Perform the test at the normal operating
ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid)
temperature: 50 to 80
C (122 to 176F).
• Be sure to allow 1 minute interval between
tests.
• Perform the test three times, and measure
the time lags. Calculate the average value
of the three time lags.
• When conducting stall test, do not
continue more than 10 seconds.
(2) Connect the intelligent tester together with the
CAN VIM (controller area network vehicle
interface module) to the DLC3.
(3) Fully apply the parking brake.
(4) Start and warm up the engine and check idle
speed.
Idle speed:
approx. 700 rpm (In N position and A/C
OFF)
(5) Shift the lever from N to D position. Using a stop
watch, measure the time from when the lever is
shifted until the shock is felt.
Time lag:
N
D less than 1.2 seconds
(6) In the same way, measure the time lag for N
R.
Time lag:
N
R less than 1.5 seconds
Evaluation (If N
D or N R time lag is longer than the specified):
Problem Possible cause

HYDRAULIC TEST
1. PERFORM HYDRAULIC TEST
(a) Measure the line pressure.
NOTICE:
• Perform the test at the normal operating ATF
(Automatic Transmission Fluid) temperature:
50 to 80
C (122 to 176F).
• The line pressure test should always be
carried out in pairs. One technician should
observe the conditions of wheels or wheel
stoppers outside the vehicle while the other
is performing the test.
• Be careful to prevent SST hose from
interfering with the exhaust pipe.
• This Check must be conducted after checking
and adjusting engine.
• Perform under condition that A/C is OFF.
• When conducting stall test, do not continue
more than 10 seconds.
(1) Warm up the ATF (Automatic Transmission
Fluid).
(2) Lift the vehicle up.
(3) Remove the engine under cover.
(4) Connect the intelligent tester together with the
CAN VIM (controller area network vehicle
interface module) to the DLC3.
(5) Remove the test plug A on the transaxle case
front left side and install the SST.

NOTICE:
There is a difference in installation point
between D position and R position.
(6) Start the engine.
(7) Using intelligent tester, shift to D position and
hold 3rd gear by active test, and measure the
line pressure in idling.

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).

FAIL-SAFE CHART
1. FAIL-SAFE
This function minimizes the loss of the ECT functions
when any malfunction occurs in a sensor or solenoid.
(a) ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) temperature
sensor:
When the ATF temperature sensor has a
malfunction, 5th upshift is prohibited.
(b) Counter gear speed sensor NC (Speed sensor NC):
When the counter gear speed sensor has a
malfunction, 5th upshift is prohibited.
(c) Shift solenoid valve DSL:
When the solenoid valve DSL has a malfunction, the
current to the solenoid valve is stopped.
This stops lock-up control, then fuel economy
decreases.
(d) Shift solenoid valve SL1, SL2, SL3 and S4:
Fail safe function:
If either of the shift solenoid valve circuits develops
an open or short, the ECM turns the other shift
solenoid "ON" and "OFF" in order to shift into the
gear positions shown in the table below.
Manual shifting as shown in the following table must
be done (In case of a short circuit, the ECM stops
sending the current to the short circuited solenoid).
Even if starting the engine in the fail-safe mode, the
gear position remains in the same position.
