CHECK MODE PROCEDURE
HINT:
Check mode has a higher sensitivity to malfunctions and can
detect malfunction that normal mode cannot detect. Check
mode can also detect all the malfunctions that normal mode
can detect. In check mode, DTCs are detected with 1-trip
detection logic.
1. DTC CHECK (CHECK MODE)
HINT:
Intelligent tester only: Compared to the normal mode, the
check mode is more sensitive for detecting malfunctions.
Furthermore, the same diagnostic items which are
detected in the normal mode can also be detected in the
check mode.
(a) Procedure for Check Mode using the intelligent
tester.
(1) Check the initial conditions.
• Battery positive voltage 11 V or more
• Throttle valve fully closed
• Transaxle in the P or N position
• A/C switch is off
(2) Turn the ignition switch off.
(3) Connect the intelligent tester together with the
CAN VIM (controller area network vehicle
interface module) to the DLC3.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to ON position and turn
the intelligent tester main switch on.
(5) Select the item "DIAGNOSIS/ENHANCED OBD
II/CHECK MODE" (Check that the MIL flashes).
NOTICE:
All DTCs and freeze frame data recorded will
be erased if: 1) the intelligent tester is used
to change the ECM from normal mode to
check mode or vice-versa; or 2) during check
mode, the ignition switch is turned from the
ON to ACC position or turned OFF.
(6) Start the engine (the MIL goes off after the
engine starts).
(7) Perform "MONITOR DRIVE PATTERN" for the
ECT test (See page AX-17). (Or, simulate the
conditions of the malfunction described by the
customer).
NOTICE:
Leave the ignition switch in the ON position
until you have checked the DTCs, etc.
(8) After simulating malfunction conditions, use the
intelligent tester diagnosis selector to check the
DTCs and freeze frame data, etc.
(9) When you use intelligent tester: Select the item
"DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO
/ CURRENT CODES".
(10)After checking the DTC, inspect the applicable
circuit.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
These DTCs indicate an open or short in the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) temperature sensor (TFT
sensor) circuit. The automatic transmission fluid (ATF) temperature sensor converts ATF temperature to
an electrical resistance value. Based on the resistance, the ECM determines the ATF temperature, and
the ECM detects an opens or shorts in the ATF temperature circuit. If the resistance value of the ATF
temperature is less than 79
*1or more than 156 k *2, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the ATF
sensor or wiring. The ECM will turn on the MIL and store the DTC.
*1: 150
C (302F) or more is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.
*2: -40
C (-40F) is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.
HINT:
The ATF temperature can be checked on the OBD II scan tool or intelligent tester display.

DESCRIPTION
The ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) temperature sensor converts the fluid temperature into a
resistance value which is input into the ECM.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ATF temperature sensor converts the ATF temperature to an electrical resistance value. Based on
the resistance, the ECM determines the ATF temperature and detects an open or short in the ATF
temperature circuit or a fault in the ATF temperature sensor.
After running the vehicle for a certain period, the ATF temperature should increase. If the ATF
temperature is below 20
C (68F) after running the vehicle for a certain period, the ECM interprets this as
a fault, and turns on the MIL.
When the ATF temperature is 110
C (230F) or more after 17 minutes of engine cold start, the ECM also
determines this as a fault, turns on the MIL, and stores the DTC.

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

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".
(g) According to the display on the tester, perform the "ACTIVE TEST".
HINT:
• This test can be conducted when the vehicle speed is 60 km/h (37 mph) or more.
• This test can be conducted in the 5th gear.
(h) Lightly depress the accelerator pedal and check that the engine speed does not change
abruptly.
HINT:
• When changing the accelerator pedal opening angle while driving, if the engine speed does
not change, lock-up is on.
• Slowly release, but not fully, the accelerator pedal in order to decelerate. (Fully releasing the
pedal will close the throttle valve and lock-up may be turned off.)

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses signals from the vehicle speed sensor to detect the actual gear position (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th
or 5th gear).
Then the ECM compares the actual gear with the shift schedule in the ECM memory to detect mechanical
problems of the shift solenoid valves, valve body or automatic transaxle (clutch, brake or gear etc.).
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves "ON/OFF". According to the input
shaft revolution, intermediate (counter) shaft revolution and output shaft revolution, the ECM detects the
actual gear position (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th gear position). When the gear position commanded by the
ECM and the actual gear position are not the same, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.
