U151E AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE – AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEMAX–59
AX
DESCRIPTION
This sensor detects the rotation speed of the input turbine. By comparing the input turbine speed signal
(NT) with the counter gear speed sensor signal (NC), the ECM detects the shift timing of the gears and
appropriately controls the engine torque and hydraulic pressure according to various conditions. Thus,
providing smooth gear shift.
Reference (Using an oscilloscope):
Check the waveform between terminals NT+ and NT- of the ECM connector.
Standard: Refer to the illustration.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The NT terminal of the ECM detects a revolution signal from the speed sensor (NT) (input RPM). The
ECM calculates a gearshift comparing the speed sensor (NT) with the speed sensor (NC).
While the vehicle is operating in 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th gear in the shift position of D, if the input shaft
revolution is less than 300 rpm
*1although the output shaft revolution is more than 1,000 rpm *2, the ECM
detects the trouble, illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.
*1: Pulse is not output or is irregularly output.
*2: The vehicle speed is 50 km/h (31 mph) or more.

DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this circuit is to prevent the engine from stalling while driving in lock-up condition when
brakes are suddenly applied.
When the brake pedal is depressed, this switch sends a signals to the ECM. Then the ECM cancels the
operation of the lock-up clutch while braking is in progress.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates that the stop light switch remains on. When the stop light switch remains ON during
"stop and go" driving, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the stop light switch and the MIL comes on and
the ECM stores the DTC. The vehicle must stop (less than 3 km/h (2 mph)) and go (30 km/h (19 mph) or
more) 5 times for two driving cycles in order to detect a malfunction.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Using the intelligent tester to read the DATA LIST allows the
values or states of switches, sensors, actuators and other
items to be read without removing any parts. This non-
intrusive inspection can be very useful because intermittent
conditions or signals may be discovered before parts or
wiring is disturbed. Reading the DATA LIST information early
in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time.
(a) Warm up the engine.
(b) Turn the ignition switch off.
(c) Connect the OBD II scan tool or 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 /
DATA LIST".
