Description of automatic transmission There are two types of automatic transmissions, the 7 position automatic transmission is a combination of a 3 element torque converter and a 3 shaft automatic transmission that provides 4 forward and reverse speeds. The...
Hydraulic control In the hydraulic control unit, the regulator valve, manual control valve and ATF pump associated with the torque converter are combined and located inside the valve body. The valve body consists of a main level body, a...
Electronic control system (S4XA) The electronic control system consists of a transmission control unit (TSM) sensors and four solenoid valves. Gear shifting and locking are controlled electronically» for driver convenience under all driving conditions....
System for logical selection of control modes How it works: The TCM compares current driving conditions with those stored in its memory based on input from the engine speed sensor, throttle position sensor, engine coolant temperature sensor, brake application...
Trouble-shooting (S4XA) When the TCM detects a malfunction in the input or output systems, the [D4] indicator on the instrument cluster will flash. When the diagnostic connector (located under the dashboard on the passenger side) connected to...
Lockout Control Solenoid Valve Assembly (S4XA) Examination Note: Lockout control solenoid valves A and B must be removed/replaced as a unit. 1. Disconnect the 2K connector from the A/V solenoid valve assembly. 2. Measure the resistance between pin No. 2 (solenoid...
Primary and secondary shaft speed sensor Replacement 1. Disconnect the sensor connectors. 2. Unscrew the bot (6 mm) and separate the sensor from the box housing, having first removed the holders. 3. Install the sensors in the reverse order of removal.
Shift Control Solenoid Valve Assembly (S4XA) Examination Note: Shift control solenoid valves A and B must be removed/replaced as a unit. 1. Disconnect the OC connector from the shift control A/B solenoid valve assembly. 2. Measure the resistance between pin No. 1...
Road test (S4NA) Note: Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (the fan should turn on). 1. Use the handbrake to block the wheels. Start the engine, then shift to position [D4] while pressing the brake pedal. Press the gas...
Road test (S4PA, S4XA) Note: Warm up the engine to operating temperature (radiator fan on). 1. Apply the parking brake and block the front wheels. Start the engine, then shift to position [D4] while pressing the brake pedal. Press the gas...
Motionless Trial Attention. To prevent damage to the transmission, do not test the transmission without moving for more than 10 seconds. Do not shift the lever when increasing engine speed. Be sure to remove the pressure gauge...
Liquid level Check/Replace Attention. During inspection and replacement, make sure that dust and other foreign particles do not enter the transmission. Examination Attention. Remove all foreign particles from the transmission. Note:...
Pressure check Warning: When checking, beware of the rotating front wheels. Make sure the lift, jacks, and safety stands are positioned correctly. Attention. Before checking, make sure the transmission fluid is filled to the correct...
Removing an automatic transmission Removal 1. Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. 2. Remove the air intake duct and resonator. 3. Disconnect the ground cables from the box and starter. S4PA, S4XA Remove the automatic...
Shift control cable Removal and installation 1. Remove the front console. 2. Set the shift lever to position "N" (neutral), then remove the retainer from the shift control cable adjuster. Note: LHD model shown. RHD is similar. 3. Remove...
