Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000005928142
1.CHECK DTC WITH ECM
Check DTC with CONSULT-III “ENGINE”.
Turn ignition switch ON and select “SELF-DIAGNOST IC RESULTS” mode for “ENGINE” with CONSULT-III.
Refer to  EC-106, "
CONSULT-III Function" (HR16DE),  EC-612, "CONSULT-III Function (ENGINE)" (MR18DE).
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Check ignition signal circuit for engine control. Refer to  EC-442, "
Description" (HR16DE), EC-
1019, "Component Description" (MR18DE).
2.CHECK INPUT SIGNAL
With CONSULT-III
1. Start engine.
2. Select “TCM INPUT SIGNALS” in “DATA MONI TOR” mode for “TRANSMISSION” with CONSULT-III.
3. Read out the value of “ENGINE SPEED”. Check  engine speed changes according to throttle position.
Without CONSULT-III
1. Start engine.
2. Check voltage between TCM harness connector terminal and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 4.
NG >> GO TO 3.
3. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN TCM AND ECM
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect ECM connector and TCM connector.
3. Check continuity between ECM connector and TCM connector.
4. If OK, check harness for short to ground and short to power.
5. If OK, check continuity  between body ground and transaxle
assembly.
6. Reinstall any part removed.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 4.
NG >> Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

7. Disconnect terminal cord assembly harness connector.
8. Remove snap ring from terminal body.
9. Remove terminal cord assembly by pushing terminal body into transaxle case.
10. Remove control valve assembly bolts (A), (B) and (C).
Bolt length, number and location:
11. Remove control valve assembly from transaxle case. CAUTION:
Be careful not to drop manual valve and servo release accumulato r return spring.
12. Remove manual valve from control valve assembly. CAUTION:
Be careful not to drop manual valve.
13. Remove O-ring from terminal body.
14. Disassemble and inspect control valve assembly if necessary. Refer to  AT-281, "
Control Valve Assembly", AT-290, "Control
Valve Upper Body" and  AT-294, "Control Valve Lower Body".
15. Remove servo release accumulator piston and N-D accumulator piston by applying compressed air if necessary.
CAUTION:
Hold each piston with lint-free cloth.

9. Set manual shaft (1) in “P” position.
10. Remove transmission range switch (2) from transaxle case. : Bolt
11. Remove oil pan bolts.
12. Remove oil pan and oil pan gasket.
13. Check foreign materials in oil pan to help determine causes of malfunction. If the ATF is very dark, smells burned, or contains
foreign particles, frictional material (clutches, band) may need
replacement. A tacky film that will not wipe clean indicates var-
nish build up. Varnish can cause valves, servo, and clutches to
stick and can inhibit pump pressure. 
•If frictional material is detected, replace radiator after
repair of A/T. Refer to  CO-40
.
14. Remove magnets from oil pan.
15. Remove control valve assembly according to the following procedures.
a. Remove snap ring (1) from terminal body (2). CAUTION:
Do not expand snap ring (1) excessively.
b. Push terminal body (2) into transaxle case.
c. Remove control valve assembly fitting bolts  (A), (B)  and ( C).
Bolt length, number and location:
d. Remove control valve assembly from transaxle case.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to drop manual valve.

16. Remove manual valve from control valve assembly.•Inspect the sliding surfaces of manual valve and valve
body, and replace if damaged or dented.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to drop manual valve.
17. Remove O-ring from terminal body.
18. Remove return spring from servo release accumulator piston.
19. Apply compressed air into the oil hole as shown, and remove servo release accumulator piston from transaxle case.
CAUTION:
Strong flow of air will  push the accumulator piston out
along with a splash of ATF.  Cover the area with lint-free
cloth and blow air little  by little to avoid this.
20. Apply compressed air into the oil hole as shown, and remove N- D accumulator piston and return spring from transaxle case.
CAUTION:
Strong flow of air will  push the accumulator piston out
along with a splash of ATF.  Cover the area with lint free-
cloth and blow air little  by little to avoid this.
21. Remove O-rings (1) from servo release accumulator piston (2) and N-D accumulator piston (3).
CAUTION:
Wrap the removed servo release accumulator piston (2) and
N-D accumulator piston (3) in a lint-free cloth.
