2.The automatic transaxle is composed of highly
precision-finished parts which need careful
inspection before reassembly. Even a small nick
could cause fluid leakage or affect the performance.
The instructions here are organized so that you work
on only one component group at a time. This will
help avoid confusion caused by similar-looking
parts of different sub-assemblies being on your
workbench at the same time. The component groups
are inspected and repaired from the converter

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1.SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
(a) The ECT (Electronic controlled automatic
transmission/transaxle) is an automatic
transmission/transaxle that electronically controls
shift timing using the ECM. The ECM detects
electrical signals that indicate engine and driving
conditions, and controls the shift point, based on
driver habits and road conditions. As a result, fuel
efficiency and power transmission performance are
improved.
Shift shock has been reduced by controlling the
engine and transmission simultaneously.
In addition, the ECT has features such as follows:
•Diagnostic function.
•Fail-safe function when a malfunction occurs.

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
1.DESCRIPTION
(a) When troubleshooting OBD II vehicles, the only
difference from the usual troubleshooting procedure
is to connect an OBD II scan tool complying with
SAE J1987 or a intelligent tester to the vehicle, and
read off various data output from the vehicle's ECM.
(b) OBD II regulations require that the vehicle's on-
board computer illuminate the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) on the instrument panel when the
computer detects a malfunction in the computer
itself or in the drive system components which af fect
the vehicle emissions. In addition to illuminating the
MIL when a malfunction is detected, the applicable
DTCs prescribed by SAE J2012 are recorded in the
ECM memory (See page AX-35).
FI00534
If the malfunction does not occur in 3 consecutive
trips, the MIL goes off but the DTCs remain in the
ECM memory.
Intelligent Tester
DLC3
CAN VIM
C131977E05
(c) To check the DTCs, conn ect the OBD II scan tool or
intelligent tester to the DLC3 of the vehicle. The
OBD II scan tool or intelligent tester also enables
you to erase the DTCs and check freeze frame data
and various forms of engine data (For operating
instructions, see the instruction book).
(d) The DTCs include SAE controlled codes and
Manufacturer controlled codes. SAE controlled
codes must be set as prescribed by the SAE, while
Manufacturer controlled codes can be set freely by
a manufacturer within the prescribed limits (See
page AX-35).
(e) The diagnosis system operates in "normal mode"
during the normal vehicle use. In normal mode, "2trip detection logic" is used to ensure accurate
detection of malfunction. "Check mode" is also
available to technicians as an option. In check
mode, "1-trip detection logic" is used for simulating
malfunction symptoms and increasing the system's
ability to detect malfunctions, including intermittent
malfunction.
(f)*2 trip detection logic: When a malfunction is first
detected, the malfunction is temporarily stored in
the ECM memory (1st trip). IF the ignition switch is
turned off and then turned on (IG) again, and same
malfunction is detected again, the MIL will
illuminate.
AX
U250E AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE – AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM
(g) The ECM records vehicle and driving condition
information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC
is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data
can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle
was running or stopped, whether the engine was
warmed up or not, whether the air/fuel ratio was
lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the
time of a malfunction.

(h) The intelligent tester displays freeze frame data
recorded at five different points: 1) 3 times before
the DTC is set, 2) once when the DTC is set, and 3)
once after the DTC is set. The data can be used to
simulate the vehicle's condition around the time of
the malfunction. The data may be helpful in
determining the cause of a malfunction. It may also
be helpful in determining whether a DTC is being
caused by a temporary malfunction.
A092901E15
2.INSPECT THE DLC3
(a) The vehicle's ECM uses ISO 15765-4for
communication. The terminal arrangement of the
DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the
ISO 15765-4format.
CAUTION:
*: Before measuring the resistance, leave the
vehicle as is for at least 1 minute and do not
operate the ignition switch, any other switches
or the doors.
AX
AX–32
U250E AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE – AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM
If the result is not as specified, the DLC3 may have
a malfunction. Repair or replace the harness and
connector.
HINT:
The DLC3 is the interface prepared for reading
various data from the vehicle's ECM. After
connecting the cable of the intelligent tester to the
CAN VIM, turn the ignition switch ON and turn the
tester ON. If a communication failure message is
displayed on the tester screen (on the tester:
UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE), a problem
exists in either the vehicle or tester. In order to
identify the location of the problem, connect the
tester to another vehicle.
•If the communication is normal when the tool is
connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3
on the original vehicle.
•If the communication is still impossible when the
tool is connected to another vehicle, the problem
is probably in the tool itself, so consult the
Service Department listed in the tool's instruction
manual.
3.CHECK BATTERY VOLTAGE
(a) Measure the battery voltage.
Battery voltage:
11 to 14 V
If voltage is below 11 V, replace the battery before
proceeding.
4.CHECK MIL
(a) Check that the MIL illuminates when turning the
ignition switch on (IG).
HINT:
If the MIL does not light up, troubleshoot the
combination meter.
(b) When the engine is started, the MIL should go of f. If
the lamp remains on, it means that the diagnosis
system has detected a malfunction or abnormality in
the system.
AX
U250E AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE – AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM
DTC CHECK / CLEAR
1.DTC CHECK (NORMAL MODE)
NOTICE:
When the diagnostic system is switched from the
normal mode to the check mode, all the DTCs and
freeze frame data recorded in the normal mode will
be erased. So before switching modes, always check
the DTCs and freeze frame data, and note them
down.
DTCs which are stored in the ECM can be displayed
with the intelligent tester or generic OBD II scan tool.
These scan tools can display pending DTCs and
current DTCs. Some DTC aren't stored if the ECM
doesn't detect a malfunction during consecutive
driving. However, the detected malfunction during
once driving is stored as pending DTC.

OBD II scan tool's instruction book).
NOTICE:
When simulating symptoms with an OBD II
scan tool (excluding intelligent tester) to
check the DTCs, use the normal mode. For
codes on the DTCs chart which are subject
to "2 trip detection logic",
Turn the engine switch off after the symptom is
simulated once. Then repeat the simulation
process again. When the problem has been
simulated twice, the MIL illuminates and the
DTCs are recorded in the ECM.
2.DTC CLEAR
(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the CAN VIM. Then
connect the CAN VIM to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch on (IG).
(c) Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS /

FAIL-SAFE CHART
1.FAIL-SAFE
This function minimizes the loss of the ECT functions
when any malfunction occurs in a sensor or solenoid.
(a) ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) temperature
sensor:
When the ATF temperature sensor has a
malfunction, 5th upshift is prohibited.
When the counter gear speed sensor has a
malfunction, 5th upshift is prohibited.
(c) Shift solenoid valve DSL:
When the solenoid valve DSL has a malfunction, the
current to the solenoid valve is stopped.
This stops lock-up control, then fuel economy
decreases.
(d) Shift solenoid valve SL1, SL2, SL3 and S4:
Fail safe function:
If either of the shift solenoid valve circuits develops
an open or short, the ECM turns the other shift
solenoid "ON" and "OFF" in order to shift into the
gear positions shown in the table below.
Manual shifting as shown in the following table must
be done (In case of a short circuit, the ECM stops
sending the current to the short circuited solenoid).
Even if starting the engine in the fail-safe mode, the
gear position remains in the same position.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
These DTCs indicate a problem with the park/neutral position switch and the wire harness in the park/
neutral position switch circuit.
The park/neutral position switch detects the shift lever position and sends a signal to the ECM.
For security, the park/neutral position switch detects the shift lever position so that engine can be started
only when the shift lever is in the P or N position
The park/neutral position switch sends a signal to the ECM according to the shift position (P, R, N or D).
The ECM determines that there is a problem with the switch or related parts if in receives more than 1
position signal simultaneously. The ECM will turn on the MIL and store the DTC.

DESCRIPTION
The ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) temperature sensor converts the fluid temperature into a
resistance value which is input into the ECM.
The ECM applies a voltage to the temperature sensor through ECM terminal THO1.
The sensor resistance changes with the transmission fluid temperature. As the temperature becomes
higher, the sensor resistance decreases.
One terminal of the sensor is grounded so that the sensor resistance decreases and the voltage goes
down as the temperature becomes higher.
The ECM calculates the fluid temperature based on the voltage signal.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
These DTCs indicate an open or short in the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) temperature sensor (TFT
sensor) circuit. The automatic transmission fluid (ATF) temperature sensor converts ATF temperature to
an electrical resistance value. Based on the resistance, the ECM determines the ATF temperature, and
the ECM detects an opens or shorts in the ATF temperature circuit. If the resistance value of the ATF

temperature is less than 79 Ω
or more than 156 kΩ *2, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the ATF
sensor or wiring. The ECM will turn on the MIL and store the DTC.
*1: 150°C (302°F) or more is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.
*2: -40°C (-40°F) is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.

After running the vehicle for a certain period, the ATF temperature should increase. If the ATF
temperature is below 20°C (68°F) after running the vehicle for a certain perio d, the ECM interpret s this as
a fault, and turns on the MIL.
When the ATF temperature is 110°C (230°F) or more after 17 minutes of engine cold start, the ECM also
determines this as a fault, turns on the MIL, and stores the DTC.

DTCP0724Brake Switch "B" Circuit High
DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this circuit is to prevent the engine from stalling while driving in lock-up condition when
brakes are suddenly applied.
When the brake pedal is depressed, this switch sends a signals to the ECM. Then the ECM cancels the
operation of the lock-up clutch while braking is in progress.
DTC No.DTC Detecting ConditionTrouble Area
P0724
The stop light switch remains ON even when the vehicle is
driven in a STOP (less than 3 km/h (2 mph) and GO (30 km/h
(19 mph) or more) fashion 5 times. (2-trip detection logic).
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates that the stop light switch remains on. When the stop light switch remains ON during
"stop and go" driving, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the stop light switch and the MIL comes on and
the ECM stores the DTC. The vehicle must stop (less than 3 km/h (2 mph)) and go (30 km/h (19 mph) or
more) 5 times for two driving cycles in order to detect a malfunction.
The monitor will run whenever this DTC is not present.None

T orque Converter Clutch Solenoid Performance
(Shift Solenoid Valve DSL)
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses the signals from the throttle position sensor, air-flow meter, turbine (input) speed sensor,
intermediate (counter) shaft speed sensor and crankshaft position sensor to monitor the engagement
condition of the lock-up clutch.
Then the ECM compares the engagement condition of the lock-up clutch with the lock-up schedule in the
ECM memory to detect a mechanical problems of the shift solenoid valve DSL, valve body and torque
converter clutch.
DTC No.DTC Detection Co ndS1itionTrouble Area
Lock-up does not occur when driving in the lock-up range
P0741
(normal driving at 80 km/h [50 mph]), or lock up remains ON in
the lock-up OFF range.
(2-trip detection logic)
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
Torque converter lock-up is controlled by the ECM based on the speed sensor (NT), speed sensor (NC),
engine rpm, engine load, engine temperature, vehicle speed, transmission temperature, and gear
selection. The ECM determines the lock-up status of the torque converter by comparing the engine rpm
(NE) to the input turbine rpm (NT). The ECM calculates the actual transmission gear by comparing input
turbine rpm (NT) to counter gear rpm (NC). When conditions are appropriate, the ECM requests "lock-up"
by applying control voltage to the shift solenoid DSL. When the DSL is turned on, it applies pressure to th e
lock-up relay valve and locks the torque converter clutch.
If the ECM detects no lock-up after lock-up has been requested or if it detects lock-up when it is not
requested, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the shift solenoid valve DSL or lock-up system
performance. The ECM will turn on the MIL and store the DTC.
HINT:
Example:
When any of the following is met, the system judges it as a malfunction.
•There is a difference in rotation between the input side (engine speed) and output side (input turbine
speed) of the torque converter when the ECM commands lock-up.
(Engine speed is at least 75 rpm greater than input turbine speed.)
•There is no difference in rotation between the input side (engine speed) and output side (input turbine
speed) of the torque converter when the ECM commands lock-up off.
(The difference between engine speed and input turbine speed is less than 35 rpm.)

The ECM uses signals from the vehicle speed sensor to detect the actual gear position (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th
or 5th gear).
Then the ECM compares the actual gear with the shift sch edule in the ECM memory to detect mechan ical
problems of the shift solenoid valves, valve body or automatic transaxle (clutch, brake or gear etc.).

The gear required by the ECM does not match the actual gear
when driving (2-trip detection logic)
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves "ON/OFF". According to the input
shaft revolution, intermediate (counter) shaft revolution and output shaft revolution, the ECM detects the
actual gear position (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th gear position). When the gear position commanded by the
ECM and the actual gear position are not the same, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.

DESCRIPTION
Shifting from 1st to 5th is performed in combination with "ON" and "OFF" operation of the shift solenoid
valves SL1, SL2, SL3, S4 and SR which are controlled by the ECM. If an open or short circuit occurs in
either of the shift solenoid valves, the ECM controls the remaining normal shift solenoid valves to allow
the vehicle to be operated smoothly (Fail safe function).

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves "ON/OFF". When there is an open or
short circuit in any shift solenoid valve circuit, the ECM detects the problem and illuminates the MIL and
stores the DTC. And the ECM performs the fail-safe function and turns the other normal shift solenoid
valves "ON/OFF" (In case of an open or short circuit, the ECM stops sending current to the circuit.)

DESCRIPTION
This sensor detects the rotation speed of the counter gear. By comparing the counter gear speed signal
(NC) with the direct clutch speed sensor signal (NT), the ECM detects the shift timing of the gears and
appropriately controls the engine torque and hydraulic pressure according to various conditions. Thus
smooth gear shifting is performed.

•Open or short in transmission revolution sensor
NC (speed sensor NC) circuit
The NC terminal of the ECM detects a revolution signal from the speed sensor (NC) (counter gear rpm).
The ECM calculates a gearshift comparing the speed sensor (NT) with the speed sensor (NC).
