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.
(b) Counter gear speed sensor NC (Speed sensor NC): 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.

1. INSPECT VANE PUMP SHAFT AND BUSHING IN VANE PUMP FRONT HOUSING
(a) Using a micrometer, measure the outer diameter [a]
of the vane pump shaft with pulley.
(b) Using vernier calipers, measure the inner diameter
[b] of the vane pump front housing bushing.
(c) Calculate the oil clearance ...
Security Indicator Light Circuit
DESCRIPTION
Even when the theft deterrent system is in the disarmed state, the security
indicator blinks due to a signal
output from the immobiliser system. The security indicator blinks continuously
due to a continuous signal
received from the immobiliser system while in the armed state.

Pressure Control Solenoid "B" Electrical (Shift
Solenoid Valve SL2)
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 cont ...
