SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS
DIFFERENCE IN APPEARANCE
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006256016
While the vehicle is stopped, the difference of vehicle height of right side and left side (between wheel center
and wheel arch) is 25 mm (0.98 in) or more.
Inspection ProcedureINFOID:0000000006256017
1.CHECK APPEARANCE
1. Visually check that the exterior parts (e.g. suspension spring) have no malfunctions.
2. Visually check tube and pipe for crush or oil leakage.
Is the check result normal?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Repair or replace damaged parts.
2.CHECK CLOGGING OF ORIFICE IN PPMU
1. Install an oil pressure gauge (SST: KV40108000) (A) to oil injec- tion jack.
CAUTION:
 Clean surrounding areas of oi l injection jack using steam
before starting oper ation, since there may be mud on it.
 Clean oil pressure gauge (special service tool:
KV40108000) jack with steam before use.
 Jack must be securely inserted until a click sound can be heard.
 Pressure reducing valve (B) of the oil pressure gauge
must be closed.
2. Loosen needle valves A and C of PPMU by approximately 2 rotations for check changes in vehicle height.
CAUTION:
Never loosen the needle valve more than required.
3. Tighten needle valve A and C of PPMU to the specified torque after the inspection.
Does the vehicle height change 10 mm (0.39 in) or more?
YES >> For detailed inspection of clogging of orifice in PPMU, refer to SCS-27, "
Work Procedure".
NO >> INSPECTION END

*: This signal is transmitted via communication line.
The clutch pressure control solenoid is controlled by the signals from the switches and sensors. Thus, the
clutch pressure is adjusted to be appropriate to t he engine load state and vehicle driving state. It becomes
possible to finely control the clutch hydraulic pressu re with high precision and a smoother shift change charac-
teristic is attained.
The clutch is controlled with the optimum timing and oil pressure by the engine speed, engine torque informa-
tion, etc.
Shift Change System Diagram
*1: Full phase real-time feedback control monitors move ment of gear ratio at gear change, and controls oil
pressure in real-time to achieve the best gear ratio.
BLIPPING CONTROL
This system makes transmission clutch engage readily by controlling (synchronizing) engine revolution
according to the (calculation of) engine revolution after shifting down.
 “BLIPPING CONTROL” functions.
- When downshifting by accelerator pedal depression.
- When downshifting by the manual mode.

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).
