(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
N
D time lag is longer• Line pressure is too low
• Forward clutch worn
• No.1 one-way clutch is not operating properly
• U/D (Underdrive) one-way clutch is not operating
• U/D (Underdrive) brake worn
N
R time lag is longer• Line pressure is too low
• Reverse clutch worn
• 1st and reverse brake worn
• U/D (Underdrive) brake worn

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.
SST 09992-00095 (09992-00231, 09992-

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.
Specified line pressure:
(8) Turn the ignition switch off.

position, depress the accelerator pedal all the
way down and check the line pressure while the
stall test is performed.
Specified line pressure:
(12)Turn the ignition switch off.
(13)Remove the SST, install the test plug A.
(14)Remove the test plug B, install the SST and
start engine.

(15)Connect the transmission wire connector,
depress the brake pedal firmly, shift to the R
position and check that the line pressure while
the engine is idling and during the stall test.
Specified line pressure:
(16)Remove the SST, install the test plug B.
(17)Clear the DTC.

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).

INITIALIZATION
1. RESET MEMORY
NOTICE:
• Perform the RESET MEMORY (AT initialization)
when replacing the automatic transaxle assembly,
engine assembly or ECM.
• The RESET MEMORY can be performed only with
the Intelligent tester.
HINT:
The ECM memorizes the condition that the ECT controls
the automatic transaxle assembly and engine assembly
according to those characteristics. Therefore, when the
automatic transaxle assembly, engine assembly, or ECM
has been replaced, it is necessary to reset the memory
so that the ECM can memorize the new information.
Reset procedure is as follows.
(a) Turn the engine switch off.
(b) Connect the intelligent tester together with the CAN
VIM (controller area network vehicle interface
module) to the DLC3.
(c) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and push
the intelligent tester main switch on.
(d) Select the item "DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD
II".
(e) Perform the reset memory procedure from the
ENGINE menu.
CAUTION:
After performing the RESET MEMORY, be sure
to perform the ROAD TEST (See page AX-9)
described earlier.
HINT:
The ECM is learned by performing the ROAD TEST.

MONITOR DRIVE PATTERN
1. MONITOR DRIVE PATTERN FOR ECT TEST
(a) Perform this drive pattern as one method to
simulate the detection conditions of the ECT
malfunctions. (The DTCs may not be detected due
the actual driving conditions. And some codes may
not be detected through this drive pattern.)
HINT:
Preparation for driving
• Warm up the engine sufficiently. (Engine coolant
temperature is 60
C (140F) or higher)
• Drive the vehicle when the atmospheric
temperature is -10
C (14F) or higher.
(Malfunction is not detected when the
atmospheric temperature is less than -10
C
(14
F))
Driving note
• Drive the vehicle through all gears.
Stop
1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 5th
(lock-up ON).
• Repeat the above driving pattern three times or
more.
NOTICE:
• The monitor status can be checked using the
OBD II scan tool or intelligent tester. When
using the intelligent tester, monitor status
can be found in the "ENHANCED OBD II /
DATA LIST" or under "CARB OBD II".
• In the event that the drive pattern must be
interrupted (possibly due to traffic conditions
or other factors), the drive pattern can be
resumed and, in most cases, the monitor can
be completed.
• Perform this drive pattern on a level road as
much as possible and strictly observe the
posted speed limits and traffic laws while
driving.

HINT:
*1: Drive at such a speed in the uppermost gear, to
engage lock-up. The vehicle can be driven at a
speed lower than that in the above diagram under
the lock-up condition.

approximately 30 minutes to detect DTC P0711
(ATF temperature sensor malfunction).
