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.

FAIL-SAFE CHART
1. FAIL-SAFE
This function minimizes the loss of the ECT functions
when any malfunction occurs in a sensor or solenoid.
(a) ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) temperature
sensor:
When the ATF temperature sensor has a
malfunction, 5th upshift is prohibited.
(b) Counter gear speed sensor NC (Speed sensor NC):
When the counter gear speed sensor has a
malfunction, 5th upshift is prohibited.
(c) Shift solenoid valve DSL:
When the solenoid valve DSL has a malfunction, the
current to the solenoid valve is stopped.
This stops lock-up control, then fuel economy
decreases.
(d) Shift solenoid valve SL1, SL2, SL3 and S4:
Fail safe function:
If either of the shift solenoid valve circuits develops
an open or short, the ECM turns the other shift
solenoid "ON" and "OFF" in order to shift into the
gear positions shown in the table below.
Manual shifting as shown in the following table must
be done (In case of a short circuit, the ECM stops
sending the current to the short circuited solenoid).
Even if starting the engine in the fail-safe mode, the
gear position remains in the same position.

DESCRIPTION
The park/neutral position switch detects the shift lever position and sends signals to the ECM.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
These DTCs indicate a problem with the park/neutral position switch and the wire harness in the park/
neutral position switch circuit.
The park/neutral position switch detects the shift lever position and sends a signal to the ECM.
For security, the park/neutral position switch detects the shift lever position so that engine can be started
only when the shift lever is in the P or N position
The park/neutral position switch sends a signal to the ECM according to the shift position (P, R, N or D).
The ECM determines that there is a problem with the switch or related parts if in receives more than 1
position signal simultaneously. The ECM will turn on the MIL and store the DTC.

DESCRIPTION
The ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) temperature sensor converts the fluid temperature into a
resistance value which is input into the ECM.
The ECM applies a voltage to the temperature sensor through ECM terminal THO1.
The sensor resistance changes with the transmission fluid temperature. As the temperature becomes
higher, the sensor resistance decreases.
One terminal of the sensor is grounded so that the sensor resistance decreases and the voltage goes
down as the temperature becomes higher.
The ECM calculates the fluid temperature based on the voltage signal.
