TOW MODE SWITCH
TOW MODE SWITCH
DescriptionINFOID:0000000005148683
When tow mode switch is “ON”, tow mode switch signals are sent to TCM from combination meter by CAN
communication line.Then it`s a tow mode condition.
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000005148684
1.CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION LINE
Perform the self-diagnosis. Refer to TM-32, "
CONSULT-III Function (TRANSMISSION)".
Is any malfunction in the CAN communication indicated in the results?
YES >> Check CAN communication line. Refer to TM-40.
NO >> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK POWER SOURCE
1. Turn ignition switch “ON”. (Do not start engine.)
2. Check the voltage between tow mode switch connector M258 terminal 1 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> INSPECTION END
NG >> GO TO 3.
3.CHECK TOW MODE SWITCH
1. Turn ignition switch “OFF”.
2. Disconnect tow mode switch connector.
3. Check continuity between tow mode switch terminals 1 and 2.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 4.
NG >> Repair or replace tow mode switch.
4.DETECT MALFUNCTIONING ITEM
Check the following items. If any items are damaged, repair or replace damaged parts.
• Harness for short or open between combination meter connector terminal 35 and tow mode switch connec- tor terminal 1.
• Harness for short or open between tow mode switch connector terminal 2 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 5.
NG >> Repair or replace damaged parts.
5.CHECK COMBINATION METER
Check the combination meter. Refer to MWI-4, "
Work Flow".

5. Allow the A/T fluid temperature to fall to approximately 65 °C (149° F). Use the CONSULT-III to monitor the
A/T fluid temperature as follows:
NOTE:
The A/T fluid level will be significantly affected by the A/T fluid temperature as shown. Therefore monitor
the A/T fluid temperature data using the CONSULT-III.
a. Connect CONSULT-III to data link connector.
b. Select “MAIN SIGNALS” in “DATA MO NITOR” mode for “A/T” with CONSULT-III.
c. Read out the value of “ATF TEMP 1”.
6. Re-check the A/T fluid level at A/T fluid temperatures of approxi-
mately 65° C (149°F) using the “HOT” range on the A/T fluid
level gauge as shown. The HOT range is between 50 ° - 80° C
(122° - 176 ° F).
CAUTION:
• When wiping the A/T fluid from the A/T fluid level gauge, always use lint-free paper, not a cloth.
• To check the A/T fluid level, insert the A/T fluid level gauge until the cap contacts the top of the A/T fluid charg-
ing pipe, with the gauge reversed from the normal
inserted position as shown.
7. Check the A/T fluid condition. • If the A/T fluid is very dark or has some burned smell, there
may be an internal problem with the transmission. Refer to
TM-152, "
A/T Fluid Cooler Cleaning". Flush the transmission
cooling system after repairing the transmission.
• If the A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.), replace the radiator and flush the transmission cooler
lines using cleaning solvent and compressed air after repairing
the transmission.
8. Install the A/T fluid level gauge in the A/T fluid charging pipe.
9. Tighten the A/T fluid level gauge bolt to specification.

FUNCTION DIAGNOSIS
IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
DescriptionINFOID:0000000005147603
FUNCTION
The air inside the passenger compartment is filtered by the in-cabin
microfilters when the heater or A/C controls are set on either the
recirculation or fresh mode. The two in-cabin microfilters are located
in the front heater and cooling unit assembly. The rear heater and
cooling unit assembly only draws in air from the passenger compart-
ment to recirculate into the passenger compartment, so the rear
heater and cooling unit assembly is not equipped with in-cabin
microfilters.
REPLACEMENT TIMING
Replacement of the two in-cabin microfilters is recommended on a regular interval depending on the driving
conditions. Refer to MA-9, "
Introduction of Periodic Maintenance". It may also be necessary to replace the two
in-cabin microfilters as part of a component r eplacement if the in-cabin microfilters are damaged.
