A centrifugal cancel housing is provided to cancel the clutch housing pressure. The centrifugal cancel housing
is always filled with ATF from the dedicated fluid passage of oil pump.
When Clutch Pressure Is Not Applied
As high clutch drum rotates, a centrifugal force applies to the remaining ATF in clutch housing to push high
clutch piston. However, on the other hand, the centrifugal force also applies to ATF filled in centrifugal cancel
housing, resulting in a force that pushes high clutch piston back. Consequently the high clutch piston does not
move because both forces cancel each other, and thus high clutch is prevented from dragging.
When Clutch Pressure Is Applied
Clutch pressure that applies to clutch housing overcomes the fluid pressure and spring force of the opposing
centrifugal housing to push high clutch piston, and high clutch is engaged. At this time, the centrifugal force
caused by the revolution speed of high clutch drum has no impact any more since the centrifugal force that
applies to the clutch pressure of clutch housing is canceled by the centrifugal force that applies to centrifugal
cancel housing. As a result, high clutch piston pressing force is always stable in all revolution speeds, and
thus smooth shifting characteristics are achieved.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
●: Solenoid ON
×: Solenoid OFF
–: Non-standard condition
Line Pressure Solenoid Valve
If non-standard solenoid signal is sent to TCM, line pressure solenoid valve is turned OFF to achieve maxi-
mum oil pressure.
Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Valve
If non-standard solenoid signal is sent to TCM, torque converter clutch solenoid valve is turned OFF to release
lock-up.
Overrun Clutch Solenoid Valve
If non-standard solenoid signal is sent to TCM, overrun clutch solenoid valve is turned OFF to engage overrun
clutch. This will result in more effective engine brake during deceleration.
How to Perform Trouble Diagnosis for Quick and Accurate RepairINFOID:0000000001703179
INTRODUCTION
The TCM receives a signal from the vehicle speed sensor, accelera-
tor pedal position sensor or PNP switch and provides shift control or
lock-up control via A/T solenoid valves.
The TCM also communicates with the ECM by means of a signal
sent from sensing elements used with the OBD-related parts of the
A/T system for malfunction-diagnostic purposes. The TCM is capa-
ble of diagnosing malfunctioning parts while the ECM can store mal-
functions in its memory.
Input and output signals must always be correct and stable in the
operation of the A/T system. The A/T system must be in good oper-
ating condition and be free of valve seizure, solenoid valve malfunc-
tion, etc.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a malfunction that occurs intermittently rather than continuously. Most
intermittent malfunctions are caused by poor electric connections or improper wiring. In this case, careful
checking of suspected circuits may help prevent the replacement of good parts.

Location of line pressure test ports are shown in the figure.
•Always replace pressure plugs as they are self-sealing bolts.
Line Pressure Test Procedure
1. Check ATF and engine oil levels. If necessary, add ATF or
engine oil.
2. Drive vehicle for approx. 10 minutes or until engine oil and ATF
reach operating temperature.
3. Install oil pressure gauge to corresponding line pressure test
port.
4. Set parking brake and block wheels.
5. Start engine and measure line pressure at idle and stall speed.
CAUTION:
• Keep the brake pedal pressed all the way down during
measurement.
• When measuring the line pressure at the stall speed, refer
to "STALL TEST".

Road TestINFOID:0000000001703183
DESCRIPTION
• The purpose of the test is to determine overall performance of A/T
and analyze causes of malfunctions.
• The road test consists of the following three parts:
1. Check before engine is started. Refer to AT- 5 3
.
2. Check at idle. Refer to AT- 5 3
.
3. Cruise test
• Inspection all the item from Part 1 to Part 3. Refer to AT- 5 5
,
AT- 5 8
and AT- 5 9 .

Judgement Suspected parts
At idleLine pressure is low in all positions. • Oil pump wear
• Control piston damage
• Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
• Spring for pressure regulator valve damaged
• Fluid pressure leakage between oil strainer and pressure regulator valve
• Clogged strainer
Line pressure is low in particular posi-
tion.• Fluid pressure leakage between manual valve and particular clutch
• For example, line pressure is:
− Low in “R” and “1” positions, but
− Normal in “D”, and “2” positions.
Therefore, fluid leakage exists at or around low and reverse brake circuit.
Refer to AT- 1 9 , "
Shift Mechanism".
Line pressure is high. • Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction
• A/T fluid temperature sensor damaged
• Line pressure solenoid valve sticking
• Short circuit of line pressure solenoid valve circuit
• Pressure modifier valve sticking
• Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
• Open in dropping resistor circuit
At stall
speedLine pressure is low. • Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction
• Line pressure solenoid valve sticking
• Short circuit of line pressure solenoid valve circuit
