(A)

(B)

When any malfunction occurs in the items related to the A/T
system, which are described below, the symbol (A) continues
being displayed in the information screen in the multi information
display.
Check if the diagnostic trouble code is set when the symbol (A)
continues being displayed in the information screen in the multi
information display.

NOTE:

When the symbol (B) is displayed in the information

screen in the multi information display, the transmission
fluid temperature is high. (Symbol (B) is turned on when the
fluid temperature is approximately 140°C (284°F)or higher
and turned off automatically when the fluid temperature
drops below approximately 135°C(275°F).)

NOTE:

When transmission fluid becomes a high temperature,

control to lower temperature of transmission fluid acts,
and "D" is displayed of a run with sports mode by a shift
indicator in a multi information display; and normal from
sports mode; shifting is replaced automatically. In
addition, there is the case that does not accept operation
to sports mode. It is control to lower temperature of
transmission fluid, and this phenomenon is not trouble. If
temperature of transmission fluid falls, A/T returns to
normal movement.

ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS

The transaxle control module (TCM) monitors its
input/output signals (some signals all the time and
others under specified conditions). When an irregular
signal is initially monitored, the TCM decides that a
malfunction has occurred and records the occurrence
as a diagnostic trouble code. There are 45 diagnostic
items. The diagnostic results can be read with scan

tool. Diagnostic trouble codes are kept in memory by
direct battery feed. The codes are retained in memory
even if the ignition switch is in the "LOCK" (OFF)
position. DTCs are not erased even after the battery
terminals and the TCM connector are disconnected.
In addition, the diagnostic trouble code can also be
erased by scan tool.

NOTE:

If a sensor is disconnected when the ignition switch

is in the "ON" position, a diagnostic trouble code is stored
in memory. In this case, erase the DTC using scan tool.

The 45 diagnostic items are displayed in numeric
order.

HOW TO INITIALIZE A/T LEARNED VALUE

M12301000226USA0000010000

AIM

A/T learned value must be reset whenever the
automatic transaxle, engine assembly, A/T valve
body, or A/T solenoid valve is replaced. It cannot be
reset by disconnecting the battery. Use the M.U.T.-III
as follows:

INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE

1.

Move the selector lever to the P range and turn the
ignition switch to the LOCK (OFF) position. Then,
connect M.U.T.-III to the diagnosis connector.

2.

Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, and then
move the selector lever to the R range.

3.

Depress the accelerator pedal while depressing the
brake pedal. (Engine stops.) Erase the diagnosis
code at this point.

NOTE:

This reset procedure will also

automatically initialize the INVECS-II Learned
Value. A/T DTCs and A/T freeze-frame data will be
erased. (Engine DTCs, engine-related freeze-frame
data, and Readiness status will remain even after
A/T Learned Value is reset.)

FAIL-SAFE/BACKUP FUNCTION

M12301000083USA0000010000

When a malfunction of a main sensor or actuator is
detected by the PCM, the transaxle is controlled by
pre-set control logic to maintain safe conditions for
driving.

The following table shows how the fail-safe/backup
function affects vehicle driveability and operation.
