DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM  
(a) Description  
S
When troubleshooting Euro–OBD vehicles, the  
only difference from the usual troubleshooting pro-  
cedure is that you connect an OBD scan tool com-  
plying with ISO15031–4 or hand–held tester to the  
vehicle, and read off various data output from the  
vehicle’s engine and ECT ECU.  
S
Euro–OBD regulations require that the vehicle’s  
on–board computer lights up the check engine  
warning light (CHK ENG) 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  
CHK ENG lighting up when a malfunction is de-  
tected, the applicable DTCs prescribed by  
ISO15031–6 are recorded in the engine and ECT  
ECU memory (See page DI–74).  
A13822  
If the malfunction only occurs in 3 trips, the CHK  
ENG goes off but the DTCs remain recorded in the  
engine and ECT ECU memory.  
S
S
To check the DTCs, connect an OBD scan tool or  
hand–held tester to the Data Link Connector  
(DLC3) on the vehicle. The OBD scan tool or hand–  
held tester also enables you to erase the DTCs and  
check freeze frame data and various forms of en-  
gine data (For instruction book).  
Hand–held Tester  
DTCs include ISO controlled codes and manufac-  
turer controlled codes.  
DLC3  
ISO controlled codes must be set as prescribed by  
the ISO, while manufacturer controlled codes can  
be set freely by the manufacturer within the pre-  
scribed limits (See DTC chart on page DI–74).

DIAGNOSTICS  
AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE(U240E)  
S
The diagnosis system operates in normal mode  
during normal vehicle use, and also has a check  
mode for technicians to simulate malfunction symp-  
toms and perform troubleshooting. Most DTCs use  
2 trip detection logic(*) to prevent erroneous detec-  
tion. By switching the engine and ECT ECU to  
check mode when troubleshooting, the technician  
can cause the CHK ENG to light up and for a mal-  
function that is only detected once or momentarily  
(hand–held tester) (See page DI–62).  
S
*2 trip detection logic:  
When a logic malfunction is first detected, the mal-  
function is temporarily stored in the engine andECT  
ECU memory. If the same malfunction is detected  
again during the 2nd test drive, this 2nd detection  
causes the CHK ENG to light up .  
(b) Inspect the DLC3.  
The vehicle’s engine and ECT ECU uses ISO 9141–2 for  
communication. The terminal arrangement of DLC3 com-  
plies with ISO15031–3 and matches the ISO 9141–2 for-  
mat.

If your display shows ”UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE”  
when you have connected the cable of OBD scan tool or hand–  
held tester to the DLC3, turned the ignition switch ON and oper-  
ated the scan tool, there is a problem on the vehicle side or tool  
side.  
S
If communication is normal when the tool is connected to  
another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 on the original vehicle.  
If communication is still not possible when the tool is con-  
nected connected to another vehicle, the problem is prob-  
ably in the tool itself, so consult the Service Department  
listed in the tool’s instruction manual.

INSPECT DIAGNOSIS (Normal Mode)  
(a) Check the CHK ENG.  
(1) The CHK ENG comes on when the ignition switch  
is turned ON and the engine is not running.  
HINT:  
If the CHK ENG does not light up, troubleshoot the combination  
meter (See page BE–1).  
(2) When the engine is started, the CHK ENG should  
go off. If the lamp remains on, the diagnosis system  
has detected a malfunction or abnormality in the  
system.  
A13822  
(b) Check the DTC.  
NOTICE:  
Hand–held Tester  
Hand–held tester only: When the diagnostic system is  
switched from the normal mode to the 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 scan tool or hand–held tester.  
(2) Connect the OBD scan tool or hand–held tester to  
the DLC3 at the lower of the instrument panel.  
(3) Turn the ignition switch ON and push the OBD scan  
tool or hand–held tester switch ON.

D01600  
(4) Use the OBD scan tool or hand–held tester to check  
the DTCs and freeze frame data and note them  
down (For operating instructions, see the OBD scan  
tool’s instruction book).  
(5) See page DI–74 to confirm the details of the DTCs.  
NOTICE:  
When simulating symptoms with an OBD scan tool (ex-  
cluding hand–held tester) to check the DTCs, use normal  
mode. For codes on the DTCs chart subject to ”2 trip detec-  
tion logic”, turn the ignition switch OFF after the symptom  
is simulated the 1st time. Then repeat the simulation pro-  
cess again. When the problem has been simulated twice,  
the CHK ENG is indicated on the instrument panel and  
DTCs are recorded in the engine and ECT ECU.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE  
1
Check operation of speedometer.  
HINT:  
Read freeze frame data using hand–held tester. Because freeze frame records the engine conditions when  
the malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting it is useful for determining whether the vehicle was run-  
ning or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the air–fuel ratio was lean or rich, etc. at the time of the  
malfunction.  
CHECK:  
Drive the vehicle and check if the operation of the speedometer in the combination meter is normal.  
HINT:  
The vehicle speed sensor is operating normally if the speedometer display is normal.  
NG  
Check speedometer (See page BE–1).  
OK

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION  
Shifting from 1st to O/D is performed in combination with ON and OFF of the SL1 and SL2 solenoid valves  
controlled by Engine and ECT ECU. If an open or short circuit occurs in either of the solenoid valves, the  
Engine and ECT ECU controls the remaining normal solenoid valve to allow the vehicle to be operated  
smoothly (Fail safe function).

Fail safe function:  
If either of the shift solenoid valve circuits develops an open or short, the Engine and ECT ECU turns the  
other solenoid ON and OFF to shift to the gear positions shown in the table below. The Engine and ECT ECU  
also turns the DSL solenoid valve OFF at the same time. If both solenoids are malfunction, hydraulic control  
cannot be performed electronically and must be done manually.  
Manual shifting as shown in the following table must be done (In the case of a short circuit, the Engine and  
ECT ECU stops sending current to the short circuited solenoid).

P1760 Linear Solenoid for Line Pressure Control  
Circuit Malfunction (SLT Solenoid Valve)  
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION  
The throttle pressure that is applied to the primary regulator  
valve (which modulates line pressure) causes the solenoid  
valve SLT, under electronic control, to precisely and minutely  
modulate and generate line pressure according to the accelera-  
tor pedal effort, or engine power output detected.  
Line Pressure Con-  
trol Pressure  
This reduces the function of line pressure and provides smooth  
shifting characteristics.  
Upon receiving the throttle valve opening angle signal, Engine  
and ECT ECU controls the line pressure by sending a predeter-  
mined (*) duty ratio to the solenoid valve, modulating the line  
pressure, generating throttle pressure.  
Current Flow to Solenoid D02290  
(*) Duty Ratio

The duty ratio is the ratio of the period of continuity in one cycle.

”B” is the period of non–continuity, then

Kick–down Switch Circuit (LHD)  
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION  
The kick–down switch is turned ON when the accelerator pedal is depressed beyond the full throttle opening  
and sends signals to Engine and ECT ECU.  
When the kick–down switch is turned ON, the Engine and ECT ECU controls gear shifting according to the  
programmed shift diagrams.  
If a short circuit develops in the kick–down switch, the Engine and ECT ECU disregards the kick–down sig-  
nals and controls shifting at the normal shift points.
