C: CONDITION CHECK
NOTE:
When replacing ATF, check the inside condition of transmission body by inspecting the drained ATF.
Fluid condition Trouble and possible cause Corrective action
Large amount of metallic pieces are
found.
Internal metal parts of transmission body are
excessively wor n.
Replace ATF and check if AT operates
correctly.
Is thick and is a varnish-form fluid. Clutch etc. is burned.Replace ATF and check the AT body or
vehicle for faulty.
Clouded fluid or bubbles are found in
fluid.Water is mixed.Replace ATF and check the water enter-
ing point.

Time Lag Test
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
6. Time Lag Test
A: INSPECTION
NOTE:
When the select lever is shifted while the engine is
idling, there will be a certain time elapse or lag be-
fore shock is felt. Using this, check the condition of
forward brake, reverse brake, 1st one-way clutch,
forward one-way clutch and 3rd one-way clutch.
•Perform the test at normal operation fluid tem-
perature of 70 — 80°C (158 — 176°F).
•Be sure to allow a one minute interval between
tests.
•Make three measurements and take the average
value.
1) Fully apply the parking brake.
2) Start the engine.
Check the idle speed (A/C OFF).
3) Shift the select lever from “N” to “D” range. Using
a stop watch, measure the time-lag from shifting
the lever until the shock is felt.
Time-lag
Specification: 1.2 sec. or less
If “N” → “D” time-lag is longer than specification:
•Line pressure too low
•Forward brake worn
•One–way clutch not operating properly
4) In the same manner, measure the time lag of “N”
→ “R”.
Time-lag
Specification: 1.5 sec. or less
If “N” → “R” time lag is longer than specification:
•Line pressure too low
•Reverse brake worn
