3. DRAIN AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (See page
AX-131)
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 the 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.

PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
HINT:
• If a normal code is displayed during the diagnostic trouble
code check although the trouble still occurs, check the
electrical circuits for each symptom in the order given in
the charts on the following pages and proceed to the page
given for troubleshooting.
• The Matrix Chart is divided into 2 chapters.
• When the circuit on which mark *1 is attached is a
malfunction, DTC could be output.
Refer to the table below when the trouble cause is considered
to be electrical. If the instruction PROCEED TO NEXT
CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS
TABLE is given in the flowchart of each circuit, inspect the
suspected areas in descending order for each symptom. If
the trouble still occurs even though there are no
abnormalities in the inspections listed for the symptoms,
check and replace the ECM.
