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:
Input (turbine) speed/Intermediate shaft speed 2.72 to 2.86
Input (turbine) speed - Intermediate shaft speed 700 rpm or more
Input (turbine) speed - Intermediate shaft speedLess than -500 rpm

DESCRIPTION
Shifting from 1st to 5th is performed in combination with "ON" and "OFF" operation of the shift solenoid
valves SL1, SL2, SL3, S4 and SR which are controlled by the ECM. If an open or short circuit occurs in
either of the shift solenoid valves, the ECM controls the remaining normal shift solenoid valves to allow
the vehicle to be operated smoothly (Fail safe function).
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves "ON/OFF". When there is an open or
short circuit in any shift solenoid valve circuit, the ECM detects the problem and illuminates the MIL and
stores the DTC. And the ECM performs the fail-safe function and turns the other normal shift solenoid
valves "ON/OFF" (In case of an open or short circuit, the ECM stops sending current to the circuit.)

DESCRIPTION
This sensor detects the rotation speed of the counter gear. By comparing the counter gear speed signal
(NC) with the direct clutch speed sensor signal (NT), the ECM detects the shift timing of the gears and
appropriately controls the engine torque and hydraulic pressure according to various conditions. Thus
smooth gear shifting is performed.
Reference (Using an oscilloscope):
Check the waveform between terminals NC+ and NC- of the ECM connector.
Standard: Refer to the illustration.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The NC terminal of the ECM detects a revolution signal from the speed sensor (NC) (counter gear 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 counter gear
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.
