AX
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
In any forward position, when the difference between the revolutions of the turbine, Intermediate and
output shaft exceeds the specified value (varies with Intermediate, output speed) determined by the ECM,
the ECM illuminates the MIL and store the DTC.
When shift solenoid valve SLT remains on, the oil pressure goes down and the clutch engagement force
decreases.
NOTICE:
If you continue driving under these conditions, the clutch will burn out and the vehicle will no
longer be drivable.

MECHANICAL SYSTEM TESTS
1. PERFORM MECHANICAL SYSTEM TESTS
(a) Measure the stall speed.
The object of this test is to check the overall
performance of the transaxle and engine by
measuring the stall speeds in the D position.
NOTICE:
• Driving test should be done on a paved road
(a nonskid road).
• Perform the test at the normal operating ATF
(Automatic Transmission Fluid) temperature
50 to 80
C (122 to 176F).
• Do not continuously run this test for longer
than 10 seconds.
• To ensure safety, do this test in a wide, clear
level area which provides good traction.
• The stall 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 doing
the test.
(1) Chock the 4 wheels.
(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) Keep your left foot pressed firmly on the brake
pedal.
(5) Start the engine.
(6) Shift into the D position. Press all the way down
on the accelerator pedal with your right foot.
(7) Quickly read the stall speed at this time.
Stall speed:
2,300 +- 150 rpm
Evaluation:
Problem Possible cause
(a) Stall engine speed is low in D position• Engine power output may be insufficient
• Stator one-way clutch not operating properly
HINT:
If the value is less than the specified value by 600 rpm or more, the
torque converter could be faulty.
(b) Stall engine speed is high in D position• Line pressure is too low
• Forward clutch slipping
• U/D (Underdrive) brake slipping
• U/D (Underdrive) one-way clutch is not operating properly
• No.1 one-way clutch not operating properly
• Improper fluid level

(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-
00271)
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.
