 Disassembly should be done in a clean work area.
 Use lint-free paper or towels for wiping parts clean. Common shop rags can leave fibers that could interfere
with the operation of the transmission.
 Place disassembled parts in order for easier and proper assembly.
 All parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent before inspection or
reassembly.
 Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be repl aced any time the A/T is disassembled.
 It is very important to perform func tional tests whenever they are indicated.
 The valve body contains precision parts and requires extreme care when parts are removed and serviced.
Place disassembled valve body parts in order for easier and proper assembly. Care will also prevent springs
and small parts from becoming scattered or lost.
 Properly installed valves, sleeves, plugs, etc. will slide along bores in valve body under their own weight.
 Before assembly, apply a coat of recommended ATF to all parts. Apply petroleum jelly to protect O-rings and
seals, or hold bearings and washers in place during assembly. Never use grease.
 Extreme care should be taken to avoid damage to O-rings, seals and gaskets when assembling.
 When the A/T drain plug is removed, only some of the ATF is drained. Old ATF will remain in torque con- verter and ATF cooling system.
Always follow the procedures under “Changing” when changing ATF. Refer to TM-94, "
Changing".
 Occasionally, the parking gear may be locked with the to rque insufficiently released, when stopping the vehi-
cle by shifting the selector lever from “D” or “R” to “P” position with the brake pedal depressed.
In this case, the shock with a thud caused by the abrupt release of torque may occur when shifting the selec-
tor lever from “P” posit ion to other positions.
However, this symptom is not a malfunction which results in the damage of parts.
Service Notice or PrecautionINFOID:0000000006274263
ATF COOLER SERVICE
If ATF contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc. ), or if an A/T is repaired, overhauled, or replaced,
inspect and clean the A/T fluid cooler mounted in the radiat or or replace the radiator. Flush cooler lines using
cleaning solvent and compressed air after repair. For A/T fluid cooler cleaning procedure, refer to TM-97,
"Cleaning". For radiator replacement, refer to CO-13, "Exploded View".

Input/Output Signal Chart
*: This signal is transmitted via CAN communication line.
 When driving on an up/down slope ASC judges up/down slope according to engine torque data transmitted from the ECM and vehicle speed.
Fixing at 4GR, 5GR or 6GR on an up-slope prevents sh ift hunting and controls the vehicle to gain optimum
driving force. On a down-slope, automatic shift-down to 4GR, 5GR or 6GR controls to gain optimum engine
brake.
 When driving on a curve TCM receives the side G sensor signal from the ABS ac tuator and electric unit (control unit). It locks to 4GR,
5GR or 6GR position in moderate cornering or to 3G R position in sharp cornering based on this signal. This
prevents any upshift and kickdown during corner ing, maintaining smooth vehicle travel.
To w M o d e
 High driving torque is required for towing a heavy load. The tow mode enables torque-oriented driving by
changing the shift schedule to that of delaying A/T gear shift timing (compared to normal driving).
 TCM receives tow mode switch signal from combination meter via CAN communication. The tow mode turns ON when TCM receives the signal. TCM transmits a tow mode indicator lamp signal to the combination
meter via CAN communication to turn ON the tow mode indicator lamp mounted in the combination meter.
