Automatic Transmission - Diagnostics: Pre-Check

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
1. Description
  - When troubleshooting OBD II vehicles, the only difference from the usual troubleshooting procedure is that you connect an OBD II scan tool complying with SAE J1987 or hand-held tester to the vehicle, and read off various data output from the vehicle's ECM.
    OBD II regulations require that the vehicle's on board computer lights up the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) on the instrument panel when the computer detects a malfunction in the computer itself or in drive system components which affect vehicle emissions. In addition to the MIL lighting up when a malfunction is detected, the applicable DTCs prescribed by SAE J2012 are recorded in the ECM memory (See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART ).
    
    If the malfunction does not occur in 3 consecutive steps, the MIL goes off but the DTCs remain recorded in the ECM memory.

  - To check the DTCs, connect an OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester to DLC3 on the vehicle. The OBD II scan tool or hand-held 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).
    DTCs include SAE controlled codes and Manufacturer controlled codes.
    
    SAE controlled codes must be set as the codes prescribed by the SAE, while Manufacturer controlled codes can be set freely by the manufacturer within the prescribed limits (See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART ).

  - The diagnosis system operates in normal mode during normal vehicle use, and also has a check mode for technicians to simulate malfunction symptoms and perform troubleshooting. Most DTCs use 2-trip detection logic (*) to prevent erroneous detection. By switching the ECM to check mode when troubleshooting, the technician can cause the MIL to light up for a malfunction that is only detected once or momentarily (hand-held tester) (See PRE-CHECK ).
  - *2-trip detection logic:
    When a logic malfunction is first detected, the malfunction is temporarily stored in the ECM memory. If the same malfunction is detected again during the 2nd test drive, this 2nd detection causes the MIL to light up .
2. Check the DLC3.
  The vehicle's ECM uses the ISO 9141-2 communication protocol. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO 9141-2 format.

NOTE: If your display shows "UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE" when you have connected the cable of OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester to DLC3, turned the ignition switch ON and operated the scan tool, there is a problem on the vehicle side or tool side.
- If communication is normal when the tool is connected to another vehicle, inspect DLC3 on the original vehicle.
- If 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.
INSPECT DIAGNOSIS (NORMAL MODE)
1. Check the MIL.
  1. The MIL comes on when the ignition switch is turned ON and the engine is not running.
    NOTE: If the MIL does not light up, troubleshoot the combination meter (See PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE ).
  2. When the engine is started, the MIL should go off. If the lamp remains on, the diagnosis system has detected a malfunction or abnormality in the system.

2. Check the DTC.
  NOTE: Hand-held tester only: When the diagnostic system is switched from normal mode to check mode, it erases all DTCs and freeze frame data recorded in normal mode. So before switching modes, always check the DTCs and freeze frame data, and note them down.
  1. Prepare an OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE J1978) or hand-held tester.
  2. Connect the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester to DLC3 at the lower of the instrument panel.
  3. Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester switch ON.
  4. Use the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester to check the DTCs and freeze frame data and note them down (For operating instructions, see the OBD II scan tool's instruction book).
    
    Fig 6: Connecting Hand-Held Tester To DLC3 On Vehicle

  5. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART to confirm the details of the DTCs.
  NOTE: When simulating symptoms with an OBD II scan tool (excluding hand-held tester) to check the DTCs, use normal mode. For codes on the DTCs chart subject to "2 trip detection logic", turn the ignition switch off after the symptoms have been simulated the 1st time. Then repeat the simulation process again. When the program has DTCs, the DTCs are recorded in the ECM.
3. When using the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester: Clearing the DTCs.
  1. Connect the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and push the OBD II scan tool or the hand-held tester main switch on.
  3. When you use hand-held tester:
    Select the item "DIAGNOSIS/ENHANCED OBD II/ DTC INFO/CLEAR CODES [YES] button".
  NOTE: When operating the OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE J1978) or hand-held tester to erase the codes, the DTCs and freeze frame data will be erased. (See the OBD II scan tool's instruction book for operating instructions.)
4. When not using the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester: Clearing the DTCs.
  Disconnecting the battery terminal or remove the EFI No. 1 and ETCS fuses from the engine room J/B for 60 seconds or more. But if you disconnect the battery terminal, you should do the "INITIALIZE" procedure.
INSPECT DIAGNOSIS (CHECK MODE)
NOTE: Hand-held tester only:
Compared to the normal mode, the check mode has high sensing ability to detect malfunctions. Furthermore, the same diagnostic items which are detected in Normal mode can also be detected in Check mode.
1. Check the DTC.
  1. Check the initial conditions.
    - Battery voltage 11 V or more.
    - Throttle valve fully closed.
    - Transmission in P position.
    - Air conditioning switched off.
  2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  3. Prepare a hand-held tester.
  4. Connect the hand-held tester to DLC3 at the lower side of the instrument panel.
  5. Turn the ignition switch ON and switch the hand-held tester ON.
  6. Switch the hand-held tester from Normal mode to Check mode (Check that the MIL flashes).
  7. Start the engine (MIL goes out after the engine starts).
  8. Simulate the conditions of the malfunction described by the customer.
    NOTE: Leave the ignition switch ON until you have checked the DTCs, etc.

  9. After simulating the malfunction conditions, use the hand-held tester diagnosis selector to check the DTCs and freeze frame data, etc.
    NOTE: Take care not to turn the ignition switch off, as turning it off the diagnosis system switches from Check mode to Normal mode, so all DTCs, etc. are erased.
  10. After checking the DTC, inspect the applicable circuit.
2. Clear the DTC.
  The following actions will erase the DTC and freeze frame data. Operate an OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE J1978) or hand-held tester to erase the codes (See the OBD II scan tool's instruction book for operating instructions.).
3. When using the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester: Clearing the DTCs.
  1. Connect the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and push the OBD II scan tool or the hand-held tester main switch on.
  3. When you use hand-held tester:
    Select the item "DIAGNOSIS/ENHANCED OBD II/ DTC INFO/CLEAR CODES [YES] button".
  NOTE: When operating the OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE J1978) or hand-held tester to erase the codes, the DTCs and freeze frame data will be erased. (see the OBD II scan tool's instruction book for operating instructions.)
4. When not using the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester: Clearing the DTCs.
  Disconnect the battery terminal or remove the EFI No.1 and ETCS fuses from the engine room J/B for 60 seconds or more. But if you disconnect the battery terminal, you should do the "INITIALIZE" procedure.

PROBLEM SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION
Taking into consideration the results of the customer problem analysis, try to reproduce the symptoms of the trouble. If the problem is that the transaxle does not up-shift, down shift, or the shift point is too high or too low, conduct the following road test to confirm the automatic shift schedule and simulate the problem symptoms.
ROAD TEST
NOTE: Perform the test at normal operating ATF temperature 50 to 80°C (122 to 176 °F).
1. D position test:
  Shift into the D position and fully depress the accelerator pedal and check the following points:
  1. Check up-shift operation.
    1--> 2, 2 --> 3 and 3 --> O/D up shifts take place at the shift point shown in the automatic shift schedule (See SERVICE DATA ).
    NOTE:
    O/D Gear Up shift Prohibition Control (1. Coolant temp. is 60 °C (140 °F) or less.
    
    O/D Gear Lock up Prohibition Control (1. Brake pedal is depressed. 2. Coolant temp. is 60 °C (140 °F) or less.)
  2. Check for shift shock and slip.
    Check for shock and slip at the 1 --> 2, 2 --> 3 and 3 --> O/D up-shifts.
  3. Check for abnormal noises and vibration.
    Run at the D position lock-up or O/D gear and check for abnormal noises and vibration.
    
    NOTE: The check for the cause of abnormal noises and vibration must be done very thoroughly as it could also be due to loss of balance in the differential or torque converter clutch, etc.
  4. Check kick down operation.
    While driving in the D position, 2nd, 3rd and O/D gears, check to see that the possible kick down vehicle speed limits for 2 --> 1, 3 --> 2 and O/D -->3 kick-downs conform to those indicated on the automatic shift schedule (See SERVICE DATA ).
  5. Check abnormal shock and slip at kick down.
  6. Check the lock-up mechanism.
    - Drive in D position, O/D gear, at a steady speed (lock-up ON) of about 70 km/h (43 mph).
    - Lightly depress the accelerator pedal and check that the engine speed does not change abruptly.
      If there is a big jump in engine speed, there is no lock-up.
2. 2 position test:
  Shift into the 2 position and fully depress the accelerator pedal and check the following points.
  1. Check up-shift operation.
    Check to see that the 1 -->2 up-shift takes place and that the shift point conforms to the automatic shift schedule (See SERVICE DATA ).
    
    NOTE: There is no O/D up-shift and lock-up in the 2 position.
  2. Check engine braking.
    While driving in the 2 position and 2nd gear, release the accelerator pedal and check the engine braking effect.
  3. Check for abnormal noises during acceleration and deceleration, and for shock at up-shift and down shift.
3. L position test:
  Shift into the 2 position and fully depress the accelerator pedal and check the following points.
  1. Check no up-shift.
    While driving in the L position, check that there is no up-shift to 2nd gear.
  2. Check engine braking.
    While driving in the L position, release the accelerator pedal and check the engine braking effect.
  3. Check for abnormal noises during acceleration and deceleration.
4. R position test
  Shift into the R position, lightly depress the accelerator pedal, and check that the vehicle moves backward without any abnormal noise or vibration.
  
  CAUTION: Before conducting this test, ensure that the test area is free from people and obstruction.
5. P position test:
  Stop the vehicle on a grade (more than 5 °) and after shifting into the P position, release the parking brake. Then, check to see that the parking lock pawl holds the vehicle in place.

MANUAL SHIFTING TEST

NOTE: By this test, it can be determined whether the trouble is within the electrical circuit or is a mechanical problem in the transmission.

Disconnect the solenoid wire.

Inspect the manual driving operation.

Check that the shift and gear positions correspond with the table below.

Fig 27: Disconnecting Solenoid Wire

SHIFT & GEAR POSITION

Shift Position	Gear Position
D	O/D
2	3rd
L	1st
R	Reverse
P	Pawl Lock

NOTE: If the L, 2 and D position gear positions are difficult to distinguish, do the following road test. While driving, shift through the L, 2 and D positions. Check that the gear change corresponds to the shift position.

If any abnormality is found in the above test, the problem is in the transmission itself.

Connect the solenoid wire.
Delete the DTC.

RESET MEMORY
CAUTION: Perform the RESET MEMORY (AT initialization) when replacing the automatic transaxle assy, engine assy or the ECM.

NOTE: Hand-held tester only.

NOTE: The ECM memorizes the condition that the ECT controls the automatic transaxle assy and engine assy according to those characteristics. Therefore, when the automatic transaxle assy, engine assy, or ECM has been replaced, it is necessary to reset the memory so that the ECM can memorize the new information. Reset procedure is as follows.
1. Turn the ignition switch off.
2. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and push the hand-held tester main switch on.
4. Select the item "DIAGNOSIS/ENHANCED OBD II".
5. Perform the reset memory procedure from the ENGINE menu.
  CAUTION: After performing the RESET MEMORY, be sure to perform the ROAD TEST described earlier.
