Precautions for On Board Diagnostic (OBD) System of A/T and Engine
ECS00DZA
The ECM has an on bo ard diagnostic system. It wil l light up the malfunction in dicator lam p (MIL) to warn the
driver of a malfuncti on caus in g em is si on deterioration.
CAUTION:
●Be sure to turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the negative battery cable before any
repair or inspection work. Th e open/short circuit of related switc hes, sensors, solenoid valves,
etc. will cause the MIL to light up.
●Be sure to connect and lock the connectors securely after work. A loose (unlocked) connector will
cause the MIL to light up due to an open circuit. (Be sure the connector is free from water, grease,
dirt, bent terminals, etc.)
●Be sure to route and secure the harnesses pr operly after w ork. Interfe rence of the harne ss with a
bracket, etc. may cause the MIL to light up due to a short circuit.
●Be sure to connect rubber tubes properly after work. A misconnected or disconnected rubber tube
may cause the MIL to light up due to a malfunction of the EGR system or fuel injection system, etc.
●Be sure to erase the unnecessary malfu nction information (repairs completed) from the TC M or
ECM before returning the vehicle to the customer.
Precautions
●Before connecting or disconnecting th e TCM harness con-

●Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the transaxle is disassembled.
●It is very important to perform functional 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. w ill 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. Do not use grease.
●Extreme care should be taken to avoid damage to O-rings, seals and gaskets when assembling.
●Clean or replace ATF cooler if excessive foreign material is found in oil pan or clogging strainer. Refer to

Service Notice or Precaution s
ECS00DZC
FAIL-SAFE
The TCM has an electronic Fail-Safe (limp home mode). This allows the vehicle to be driven even if a major
electrical input/output device circuit is damaged.
Under Fail-Safe, the vehicle always runs in third gear, even with a shift lever position of L or D. The customer
may complain of sl ug gi sh or poor ac ce leration.
When the ignition key is turned ON followi ng Fail-Safe operatio n, O/D OFF indicator lamp blinks for about 8
seconds. [F or “TCM Self-diagnos tic Procedure (No Tools)”, refer to AT- 5 8 , "
TCM SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (NO TOOLS)" .]
The blinking of the O/D OFF ind icator lamp for abou t 8 seconds will a ppear only once an d be cleared. The
customer may resume normal driving conditions.
Always follow the “Work Flow” (Refer to AT-67, "
Work Flow" ).
The SELF-DIAGNOSIS results will be as follows:
●The first SELF-DIAGNOSIS will indicate damage to the vehicle speed sensor or the revolution sensor.
●During the next SELF-DIAGNOSIS, performed after checking the sensor, no damages will be indicated.
TORQUE CONVERTER SERVICE
The torque converter should be replaced under any of the following conditions:
●External leaks in the hub weld area.
●Converter hub is scored or damaged.
●Converter pilot is broken, damaged or fits poorly into crankshaft.
●Steel p articles are found after flushing the cooler and cooler lines.
●Pump is damaged or steel particles are found in the converter.
● Vehicle has TCC shudder and/or no TCC apply. Replace only after all hydraulic and electrical diagnoses
have been made. (Converter clutch material may be glazed.)
●Converter is contaminated with engine coolant containing antifreeze.
●Internal failure of stator roller clutch.
●Heav y clutch debris due to overheating (blue converter).
●Steel particles or clutch lining material found in fluid filter or on magnet when no internal parts in unit are
worn or damaged — indicates that lining material came from converter.
The torque converter sho uld not be replaced if:
●The fluid has an odor, is discolored, and there is no evidence of metal or clutch facing par ticles.
●The threads in one or more of the converter bolt holes are damaged.

A/T Fluid Cooler Cleaning
ECS00EE9
Whenever an au tomatic transaxle is repaired, overhauled, or replaced, the A/T fluid cooler mounted in the
radiator must be inspected and cleaned.
Metal debris and fri ct ion ma teri al, i f pres ent, can beco me trapp ed i n the A/T fl uid c oole r. This debris ca n co ntaminate the newly serviced A/T or, in severe cases, can block or restrict the flow of A/T fluid. In either case,
malfunction of the newly serviced A/T may result.
Debris, if present, may build up as A/T fluid enters the cooler inlet. It will be necessary to back flush the cooler
through the cooler outlet in order to flush out any built up debris.
A/T FLUID COOLER CLEANING PROCEDURE
1.Position an oil pan under the au tomatic transaxle's inlet and outlet cooler hoses.
2.Identify the inlet and outlet fluid cooler hoses.
3.Disconnect the fluid cooler inlet and outlet rubber hoses from the
steel cooler tubes or bypass valve.
NOTE:
Replace the cooler hoses if rubber material from the hose
remains on the tube fitting.
4.Allow any A/T fluid that remains in the cooler hoses to drain into
the oil pan.

At Low Fluid Temperature
●Fluid viscosity and frictional characteristics of the clutch facing change with fluid temperature. Clutch

●The line pressure is reduced below 60°C (140°F) to prevent
shifting shock due to low viscosity of automatic transmission
fluid when te mperature is low .
●Line pressure is increased to a maximum irrespective of the
throttle openin g when fluid temperature dro ps to −10°C (14°F).
This pressure rise is adopted to prevent a delay in clutch and

SHIFT CONTROL
The shift is regulated entirely by electronic control to accommodate vehicle speed and varying engine operations. This i s accomplished by e lectrical signals transm itted by the revolution sensor and the ECM (throttle
opening). This results i n improved acceleration performance and fue l economy.
Control of Shift Solenoid Valves A and B
The shift sole noid valve perfor ms simple ON-OFF op eration. When
set to ON, the drain circu it cl os es and pilo t pre ssure is ap pl ied to the
shift valve.
The TCM activa tes shift solenoid valv es A and B according t o signals from the ECM (throttle opening) and revolution sensor to select
the optimum gear p osition on the basis of the shift sc hedule me morized in the TCM.

valves A and B.
The drawing above shows the operation of shift valve B. When the shift solenoid valve is ON, pilot pressure
applied to the end face of the shift valve overcomes spring force, moving the valve upward.
LOCK-UP CONTROL
The torque converter clutch piston in the torque converter is locked to eliminate torque converter slip to
increase powe r transmis sion effici ency. The solenoid valve is contro lled by an ON-O FF duty signal sent from
the TCM. The signal is converted to an oil pressure signal which controls the lock-up piston.
Conditions for Lock-up Operation
When vehicle is driven in 3rd or 4th gear positions, vehicle speed and throttle opening are detected. If the
detected values fall within the lock-up zone memorized in the TCM, lock-up is performed.

In this way, the lock-up apply pressure gradually rises and while the torque converter clutch piston is put into
half-clutched status, the torque converter clutch piston operating pressure is increased and the coupling is
completed smoothly.

OVERRUN CLUTCH CONTROL (ENGINE BRAKE CONTROL)
Forward one-way clutch is used to reduce shifting shocks in downshifting operations. This clutch transmits
engine torque to the wheels. However, drive force from the wheels is not transmitted to the engine because
the one-way clutch rotates idle. This me ans the engine brake is not effective.
The overrun clutch operates when the engine brake is needed.

Overrun Clutch Solenoid Valve Control
The overrun clutch solenoid valve is operated by an ON-OFF signal
transmitted by the TCM to provide overrun clutch control (engine
brake control).
When this solenoid valve is ON, the pilot pressure drain port closes.
When it is OFF, the drain port opens.
During the solenoid valve ON pilot pressure is applied to the end
face of the overrun clutch cont rol valve.
Overrun Clutch Control Valve Operation
When the solenoid valve is ON, pilot pressure is applied to the overrun clutch control va lve. This pushes up the overrun clutch control
valve. The line pressure is then shut off so that the clutch does not
engage.
When the solenoid valve is OFF, pilot pressure is not generated. At
this point, the overrun clutch control valve moves downward by
spring force. As a result, overrun clutch operation pressure is provided by the overrun clutch reducing valve. This causes the overrun
clutch to engage .
In the L position, the overrun clutch control valve remains pushed
down so that the overrun clutch is engaged at all times.

ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONPFP:00000
Introduction
ECS00DZP
The A/T system has two self-diagnostic systems.
The first is the emission-related on board diagnostic system (OBD-II) performed by the TCM (transmission
control module) in combina tion with the EC M. The mal function is in dicated by t he MIL (malfu nction indica tor
lamp) and is stored as a DTC in the ECM me m ory but no t the TCM me m ory.
The second is the TC M original self-diagnos is indicated by the O/D OFF in dicator lamp. The malfun ction is
stored in the TCM memory. The detected items are overlapped with OBD-II self-diagnostic items. For details,
refer to AT-47, "
OBD-II Function for A/T System
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULT TEST MODE" .
ECS00DZQ
The ECM provides emission-related on board diagnostic (OBD-II) functions for the A/T system. One function
is to receive a signal from the TCM used with OBD-related parts of the A/T system. The signal is sent to the
ECM when a mal function occurs in the corre sponding OBD-related part. The other function is to ind icate a
diagnostic result by means of the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) on the instrument panel. Sensors, switches
and solenoid valves are used as sensing elements.
The MIL automatically illuminates in One or Two Trip Detection Logic when a malfunction is sensed in relation
to A/T system parts.
One or Two Trip Detection Logic of OBD-II
ECS00DZR
ONE TRIP DETECTION LOGIC
If a malfunction is sensed during the first test drive, the MIL w ill illuminate and the malfunction will be stored in
the ECM memory as a DTC. The TCM is no t provided with such a memory function.
TWO TRIP DETECTION LOGIC
When a malfuncti on is sensed during the fi rst test drive, it is stored in the ECM memory as a 1st trip DT C
(diagnostic trouble code) or 1st trip freeze frame data. At this point, the MIL will not illuminate. — First Trip
If the same malf unction as that experien ced during the first test drive is sense d during the second te st drive,
the MIL will illuminate. — Second Trip
A/T-related parts for which the MIL illuminates during the first or second test drive are listed below.

The “trip” in the “One or Two Trip Detection Logic” means a driving mode in which self-diagnosis is performed
during vehicle operation.
OBD-II Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
ECS00DZS
HOW TO READ DTC AND 1ST TRIP DTC
DTC and 1st trip DTC can be read by the following methods.
( With CONSULT-II or GST) CONSULT-II or GST (Generic Scan Tool) Examples: P0705, P0710,
P0720, P0725, etc.
These DTCs are prescribed by SAE J2012.
(CONSULT-II also displays the malfunctioning component or system.)
●1st trip DTC No. is the same as DTC No.
●Outpu t of the diagnos tic trouble c ode indica tes that the in dicated circuit has a malfu nction. How -
ever, in case of the Mode II and GST they do not indicate whether the malfunction is still occurring
or occurred in the past and returned to normal.
CONSULT-II can identify them as shown below. Therefore, using CONSULT-II (if available) is recommended.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS - INTRODUCTION
[RE4F04B]
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS - INTRODUCTIONPF P:00000
Introduction
The TCM receives a signal from the vehicle speed sensor, ECM
(throttle openin g) or park/n eutral po sitio n (PNP) sw itch and p rovid es
shift control or lock-up control via A/T solenoid valves.
The TCM also communicates with the ECM by means of a signal
sent from sensing el ements used with the OBD-rel ated parts of the
A/T system for m alfunction-diagno stic purposes. The TCM is capable of diagnosing malfunctioning parts while the ECM can store malfunctions in its memory.
Input and output signals must always be correct and stable in the
operation of th e A/T sy stem. T he A/T system m ust be in good oper ating condition and be free of valve seizure, solenoid valve malfunction, etc.
It is much more difficult to diagnos e a problem th at occurs interm ittently rather than continuously. Most intermittent problems are
caused by poor electric connections or improper wiring. In this case,
careful checking of sus pect ed circui ts may he lp prev ent th e repla cement of good parts.
A visual che ck only, may not find the ca use o f the p roblems . A road
test with CONSU LT-II (or GST) or a circu it tester connected sh ould
be performed. Follow the “Work Flow”. Refer to AT-67, "

Before undertaking actual checks, take a few minutes to talk with a
customer who approaches with a drive ability complaint. The customer can supply g ood inform ation about s uch probl ems, espec ially
intermittent ones. Find out what symptoms are present and under
what conditions they occur. A “DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET” like the
example on page AT-65
should be used.
Start your diagnosis by looking for “conventional” problems first. This
will help troubles hoot drivea bility proble ms on an electr onically con trolled engine vehicle.
