AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (DIAGNOSTICS)

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE WITH DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)

7

CHECK LOW CLUTCH TIMING SOLENOID
(IN TRANSMISSION).
1) Remove transmission connector from

bracket.

2) Lift-up or raise the vehicle and support with

safety stand.

3) Drain automatic transmission fluid.

CAUTION:

Do not drain the automatic transmission flu-
id until it cools down.

4) Remove oil pan, and disconnect connector

from low clutch timing solenoid.

5) Measure resistance between low clutch

timing solenoid connector and transmission
ground.

Terminal

No. 1 — Transmission ground:

Is the measured value within the specified
range?

10 — 16

Ω

Go to step 8.

Replace low clutch
timing solenoid.
<Ref. to AT-67,
Shift Solenoids,
Duty Solenoids
and ATF Temper-
ature Sensor.>

CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN
LOW CLUTCH TIMING SOLENOID AND
TRANSMISSION.
Measure resistance of harness between low
clutch timing solenoid and transmission con-
nector.

Connector & terminal

(AT9) No. 1 — (T4) No. 3:

Is the measured value less than the specified
value?

1

Ω

Go to step 9.

Repair open circuit
in harness
between low
clutch timing sole-
noid and transmis-
sion connector.

9

CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN
LOW CLUTCH TIMING SOLENOID AND
TRANSMISSION.
Measure resistance of harness between low
clutch timing solenoid connector and transmis-
sion ground.

Connector & terminal

(T4) No. 3 — Transmission ground:

Does the measured value exceed the specified
value?

1 M

Ω

Even if “POWER”
indicator lights up,
the circuit has
returned to a nor-
mal condition at
this time. A tempo-
rary poor contact
of the connector or
harness may be
the cause. Repair
harness or con-
nector in low
clutch timing sole-
noid and transmis-
sion.

Repair short circuit
harness between
low clutch timing
solenoid and
transmission con-
nector.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE WITH DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)

Step

Value

Yes

No

1

CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN
TCM AND TRANSMISSION.
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect connector from TCM and trans-

mission.

3) Measure resistance of harness between

TCM and transmission connector.

Connector & terminal

(B54) No. 16 — (B11) No. 4:

Is the measured value less than the speci-
fied value?

1

Ω

Go to step 2.

Repair open circuit
in harness
between TCM and
transmission con-
nector.

2

CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN
TCM AND TRANSMISSION.
Measure resistance between TCM connector
and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B54) No. 16 — Chassis ground:

Does the measured value exceed the specified
value?

1 M

Ω

Go to step 3.

Repair short circuit
in harness
between TCM and
transmission con-
nector.

3

CHECK 2-4 BRAKE TIMING SOLENOID.
Measure resistance between transmission
connector terminals.

Connector & terminal

(T4) No. 4 — No. 16:

Is the measured value within the specified
range?

10 — 16

Ω

Go to step 4.

Go to step 7.

4

CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL EMITTED FROM
TCM.
1) Connect connectors to TCM and transmis-

sion.

2) Lift-up or raise the vehicle and support with

safety stand.

NOTE:

Raise all wheels off ground.

3) Start the engine and warm-up the transmis-

sion until ATF temperature is above 80

°

C

(176

°

F).

NOTE:

If ambient temperature is below 0

°

C (32

°

F),

drive the vehicle until the ATF reaches its oper-
ating temperature.

4) Move selector lever to “1”, and slowly

increase vehicle speed to 10 km/h (6 MPH).

NOTE:

The speed difference between front and rear
wheels may light the ABS warning light, but this
indicates no malfunction. When AT control di-
agnosis is finished, perform the ABS memory
clearance procedure of on-board diagnostics
system. <Ref. to ABS-22, Clear Memory
Mode.> or <Ref. to VDC-25, Clear Memory
Mode.>

5) Measure voltage between TCM connector

and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B54) No. 16 (+) — Chassis ground (

−−−−

):

Is the measured value less than the speci-
fied value?

1 V

Go to step 5.

Go to step 6.
