A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Fail-SafeINFOID:0000000006226769
TCM has the electrical fail-safe mode. The mode is divi ded into a maximum of 3 phases (1st fail-safe, 2nd fail-
safe and final fail-safe) and functions so that the operat ion can be continued even if the signal circuit of the
main electronically controlled input/output parts is damaged.
Even if the electronic circuit is normal, the fail-safe mode may start under special conditions (such as when the
brake pedal is depressed suddenly from a hard wheel spin st atus to stop the rotation of wheels). In this case,
turn the ignition switch OFF and back to ON after 5 seconds to resume the normal shift pattern.
Consequently, the customer's vehicle may already return to the normal condition. Refer to TM-88, "
Diagnosis
Flow".
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
1st Fail-SafeThe mode that the vehicle can stop safely, to prompt the driver to stop if the malfunction occurs and to shift to
2nd fail-safe early. It shifts to 2nd fail-safe or final fail-safe after the vehicle stopped.
2nd Fail-Safe The mode that the vehicle shifts to final fail-safe without changing the behavior, by identifying the malfunction-
ing parts in the condition that the driving force required for the driving is secured.
Final Fail-Safe  Selects the shifting pattern that the malfunctioning parts identified at 1st fail-safe and 2nd fail-safe are not
used, and then secure the driving force that is required for the driving.
 The mode that the shifting performance does not decrease by normal shift control.

A/T SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM : System Description
INFOID:0000000006226779
The selector lever cannot be shift ed from the “P” position unless the
brake pedal is depressed while the ignition switch is set to ON. The
shift lock is unlocked by turning the shift lock solenoid ON when the
ignition switch is set to ON, the park position switch is turned ON
(selector lever is in “P” position), and the stop lamp switch is turned
ON (brake pedal is depressed) as shown in the operation chart in the
figure. Therefore, the shift lock solenoid receives no ON signal and
the shift lock remains locked if all of the above conditions are not ful-
filled. (However, selector operation is allowed if the shift lock release
button is pressed.)
SHIFT LOCK OPERATION AT “P” POSITION
When Brake Pedal Is Not Depressed (No Selector Operation Allowed)
The shift lock solenoid (A) is turned OFF (not energized) and the
solenoid rod (B) is extended with the spring when the brake pedal is
not depressed (no selector operation allowed) with the ignition
switch ON.
The connecting lock lever (C) is located at the position shown in the
figure when the solenoid rod is extended. It prevents the movement
of the detent rod (D). For these r easons, the selector lever cannot be
shifted from the “P” position.
When Brake Pedal Is Depressed (Shift Operation Allowed)
The shift lock solenoid (A) is turned ON (energized) when the brake
pedal is depressed with the ignition switch ON. The solenoid rod (B)
is compressed by the electrom agnetic force. The connecting lock
lever (C) rotates when the solenoid is activated. Therefore, the
detent rod (D) can be moved. For these reasons, the selector lever
can be shifted to other positions.

The shift lock solenoid (A) is not energized when the ignition switch
is in any position other than ON. In this condition, the shift mecha-
nism is locked and “P” position is held. The operation cannot be per-
formed from “P” position if the brake pedal is depressed with the
ignition switch ON when the operation system of shift lock solenoid is
malfunctioning. However, the lock lever (B) is forcibly rotated and the
shift lock is released when the shift lock release button (C) is
pressed from above. Then the sele ctor operation from “P” position
can be performed.
CAUTION:
Use the shift lock release button only when the selector lever canno t be operated even if the brake
pedal is depressed with the ignition switch ON.

WORK SUPPORT
SELF DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
Refer to TM-78, "DTC Index".
IGN Counter
The IGN counter is indicated in Fr eeze frame data (FFD) and indicates the number of times that the ignition
switch is turned ON after returning to the normal state from DTC.
 CAN malfunction
- The number is 0 when a malfunction is detected now.
- The number increases like 1 → 2 → 3...38 → 39 after returning to the normal condition whenever ignition
switch OFF → ON.
- The number is fixed to 39 until the self-di agnosis results are erased if it is over 39.
 Other than CAN malfunction
- The number is 0 when a malfunction is detected now.
- The number increases like 1 → 2 → 3...254 → 255 after returning to the normal condition whenever ignition
switch OFF → ON.
- The number is fixed to255 until the self-diagno sis results are erased if it is over 255.

VALUES ON DIAGNOSIS TOOL
NOTE:
1. The CONSULT-III electrically displays shift timi
ng and lock-up timing (that is, operation timing of each
solenoid).
Check for time difference between actual shift timi ng and the CONSULT-III display. If the difference is
noticeable, mechanical parts (except solenoids, sens ors, etc.) may be malfunctioning. Check mechanical
parts in accordance with the specified diagnostic procedures.
2. Shift schedule (that implies gear position) on CONSULT-III may slightly differ from that is described in Ser-
vice Manual. This occurs because of the reasons as per the following:
- Actual shift schedule has more or less tolerance or allowance
- Shift schedule in Service Manual refers to the point where shifting starts
- Gear position on CONSULT-III indicates the point where shifting completes
3. Display of solenoid valves on CONSULT-III changes at t he start of shifting, while gear position is displayed
upon completion of shifting (which is computed by TCM).
