Go to Step 6.

NO :

Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 6. Measure the voltage at A/T-ECU
connector C-20.
(1) Disconnect high/low detection switch connector

C-129.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(3) Overdrive switch: ON.
(4) Measure the voltage between A/T-ECU

connector C-20 terminal No.57 and earth.

OK: System voltage

Item 26: Overdrive switch (Refer to data list refer-
ence table

P.23A-103

).

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP

00

− How to Cope with Intermittent

Malfunction ).

NO :

Replace the A/T-ECU.

STEP 8. Connector check: C-129 overdrive
switch connector, C-52 <LHD>or C-34 <RHD>
intermediate connector, C-20 A/T-ECU connector
Check for the contact with terminals.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

STEP 9. Check the harness between overdrive
switch connector C-129 terminal No.4 and A/T-
ECU connector C-20 terminal No.57.
Check the power supply line for short or open circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 7.

NO :

Repair the wiring harness.

TROUBLESHOOTING

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

OPERATION

• A battery voltage is applied to the 4LLc operation

detection switch output terminal (terminal 1) from
the A/T-ECU (terminal 9) via the resistance in the
unit.

• The 4LLc operation detection switch is grounded

through the transfer case to the vehicle body.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
If the transmission shifts to 4th gear when the trans-
fer lever is in the 4L position, the cause is probably a
malfunction of the 4LLc operation detection switch.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the 4LLc operation detection

switch

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

• Malfunction of the A/T-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III data list
