A/T CONTROL SYSTEM
Lock-up Control System Diagram
Lock-up Released
In the lock-up released state, the torque converter clutch control valve is set into the unlocked state by drain-
ing the torque converter clutch piston applying pressure and the torque converter clutch piston release pres-
sure is generated.
In this way, the torque converter clutch piston is not coupled.
Lock-up Applied
In the lock-up applied state, the torque converter clutch control valve is set into the locked state by generating
the torque converter clutch piston applying pressure and the torque converter clutch piston release pressure is
drained.
In this way, the torque converter clutch piston is pressed and coupled.
SMOOTH LOCK-UP CONTROL
When shifting from the lock-up released state to the lock-up applied state, the current output to the torque con-
verter clutch solenoid is controlled with the TCM. In this way, when shifting to the lock-up applied state, the
torque converter clutch is temporarily set to the half-clutched state to reduce the shock.
Half-clutched State
The current output from the TCM to the torque converter clutch solenoid is varied to steadily increase the
torque converter clutch solenoid pressure.
In this way, the lock-up applying pressure gradually rises and while the torque converter clutch piston is put
into half-clutched status, the torque converter clutch piston applying pressure is increased and the coupling is
completed smoothly.
Engine Brake Control (Overrun Clutch Control)INFOID:0000000001703169
Forward one-way clutch is used to reduce shifting shocks in downshifting operations. This clutch transmits
engine torque to the wheels. However, drive force from the wheels is not transmitted to the engine because
the one-way clutch rotates idle. This means the engine brake is not effective.
The overrun clutch operates when the engine brake is needed.

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".

2. Apply rubber grease to piston boot and apply brake fluid to pis-
ton. Cover the piston end with piston boot, and install cylinder-
side lip on piston boot properly into groove on cylinder body.
3. Press piston into cylinder body by hand to assemble piston-side
lip on piston boot properly into a groove on piston.
CAUTION:
Press piston evenly and change pressing point to prevent
inner wall of cylinder from being rubbed.
4. Install sliding pins and sliding pin boots to the torque member.
5. If pads, shims and pad retainers were removed, install them to torque member. Refer to BR-24, "
Removal
and Installation of Brake Pad" .
6. Install cylinder body to torque member.
7. Install sliding pin bolts.
8. Install caliper assembly to vehicle. Refer to BR-25, "
Removal and Installation of Brake Caliper Assembly"
.
9. Tighten sliding pin bolts to specified torque. Refer to BR-23, "
Component" .
DISC ROTOR INSPECTION
Visual Inspection
Check surfaces of disc rotor for uneven wear, cracks, and serious damage. Replace applicable part as neces-
sary.
Runout Inspection
1. Using wheel nuts, secure disc rotor to wheels hub 2 or more positions.
2. Using a dial indicator, check runout.
CAUTION:
Make sure that wheel bearing axial end play is within the
specifications before measuring runout. Refer to FA X - 5 ,
"On-Vehicle Inspection and Service" .
3. If runout is outside the limit, find the minimum runout point by
shifting the mounting positions of disc rotor and wheel hub by
one hole.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
System ComponentINFOID:0000000001703825
ABS FunctionINFOID:0000000001703826
• The Anti-Lock Brake System detects wheel revolution while braking and improves handling stability during
sudden braking by electrically preventing wheel lockup. Maneuverability is also improved for avoiding obsta-
cles during emergency braking.
• If the electrical system malfunctions, the Fail-Safe function is activated, the ABS becomes inoperative and
the ABS warning lamp turns on.
• The electrical system can be diagnosed using CONSULT-III.
• During ABS operation, the brake pedal may vibrate lightly and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is
normal.
• Just after starting the vehicle, the brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating noises may be heard from the
engine compartment. This is normal due to the self check operation.
• Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when vehicle drives on rough, gravel, or
snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.
EBD FunctionINFOID:0000000001703827
• Electronic Brake Distribution is a function that detects subtle slippages between the front and rear wheels
during braking, and it improves handling stability by electronically controlling the brake fluid pressure which
results in reduced rear wheel slippage.
• If the electrical system malfunctions, the Fail-Safe function is activated, the EBD and ABS become inopera-
tive, and the ABS warning lamp and brake warning lamp are turned on.
• The electrical system can be diagnosed using CONSULT-III.
• During EBD operation, the brake pedal may vibrate lightly and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is
normal.
• Just after starting the vehicle, the brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating noises may be heard from the
engine compartment. This is normal due to the self check operation.
Fail-Safe FunctionINFOID:0000000001703828
CAUTION:
If the Fail-Safe function is activated, perform the Self Diagnosis for ABS system.
ABS/EBD SYSTEM
In case of an electrical malfunction with the ABS, the ABS warning lamp will turn on. In case of an electrical
malfunction with the EBD system, the brake warning lamp and the ABS warning lamp will turn on.
The system will revert to one of the following conditions of the Fail-Safe function.
1. For ABS malfunction, only the EBD is operative and the condition of the vehicle is the same condition of
vehicles without ABS system.

CONSULT-II Reference Value in Data Monitor ModeINFOID:0000000001702597
Remarks:
● Specification data are reference values.
● Specification data are output/input values which are detected or supplied by the ECM at the connector.
* Specification data may not be directly related to their components signals/values/operations.
i.e. Adjust ignition timing with a timing light before monitoring IGN TIMING, because the monitor may show the specification data in spite of the
ignition timing not being adjusted to the specification data. This IGN TIMING monitors the data calculated by the ECM according to the signals
input from the camshaft position sensor and other ignition timing related sensors.
