Wiring Harness and Connector Inspection

  1. Reproducing test
  2. Perform symptom simulation test on the basis of user's condition. Refer to the below factors.
  3. Inspect the connection condition of between connectors.
  4. Inspect the failure between connectors by visual check and contact pressure check.
  5. Inspect the Continuity of the wiring harness.
  6. Disconnect both ends connector of wiring harness, measure resistance between one connector terminal and other.

Notice : Measure the resistance while slightly shaking wire harness vertically and horizontally.

It is rare case wiring harness is broken at the middle of it, and most cases occur at the connector.
  1. Inspect the short circuit of the wiring harness.
  2. Disconnect the connectors of the wiring harness at both ends, measure resistance between the applicable terminals of the connector and body earth.
    Measure the resistance between one terminal an another terminal in the same connector.(Except between power supply or between earth).

Notice : Measure the wiring harness while slightly shaking vertically and horizontally.

It is usual case of the short circuit that wiring harness is crowded body and clamping failure.
  1. Temporary connection failure of the connector.
  2. It is thought that temporally the connection failure of the connector is cause when you can not decide cause of DTC detection.
    Therefore make sure to inspect and clean the connector and delete the memorized DTC.

Road Test

Road test is to diagnosis failure symptom accurately and check the failure symptom after procedure.
Confirm whether below condition before road test. Oil temperature is hot condition (50°C (122°F) ~ 80°C (176°F)).
  1. D range test
  2. "P" range test
  3. Park vehicle on a gradient (more than 5°), shift into the "P" range and release parking brake.
    Then, check to see no moving vehicle by operation of parking lock pawl.

Function Check

Confirm whether below condition before function check.

Stall Test

Stall test' purpose is to inspect overall performance of A/T and engine by measuring the stall speed in "D" and "R" range.
  1. Chock 4 Wheels and apply parking brake fully, lock vehicle perfectly.
  2. Fully pressed on foot brake pedal with left foot.
  3. Shift into "D" and "R" range, fully press on accelerator pedal with right foot.
Quickly read stall speed at this time.
Standards
2.4L
2,640 rpm
3.2L/2.0S Diesel
2,489 rpm

Notice : Do not continuously run longer than 5 sec because of extreme increasing oil temperature.

Make sure to keep interval for more than 1 min between stall tests.
Result of Stall Test
Cause of Failure
Lower than standards
both "D" and "R"
Less engine power
Torque converter one way clutch failure
Higher than standards
only "D"
Lower line pressure
Forward clutch (C1) failure (Slipping)
No.2 One-way clutch (F2) failure
Higher than standards
only "R"
Lower line pressure
Direct clutch (C2) failure (Slipping)
1st & reverse brake (B3) failure (Slipping)
Higher than standards
both "D" and "R"
Lower line pressure
B5 brake failure
Oil strainer failure (clogging)
Oil leak for each range circuit

Time Lag Test

Time lag is time till slightly shock can be felt when shift lever is shifted "N" → "D" and "N" → "R" while engine idling.
Time lag test can inspect hydraulic condition and clutch/brake condition.
  1. Chock 4 Wheels and apply parking brake fully, lock vehicle perfectly.
  2. Measure time lag by using stop watch from moment when shift lever is shifted in "N" → "D" and "N" → "R" until moment slightly shock can be felt.
"N" → "D"
less than 0.7 sec
"N" → "R"
less than 1.2 sec

Notice : Make sure to take 3 measurement and take the average value.

Make sure to keep interval for more than 1 min between time lag tests. (That purpose is to remove clutch/brake pressure was left unfinished.)
Result of Time Lag Test
Cause of Failure
Longer than standards "N" → "D"
Lower line pressure
Forward Clutch (C1) failure (Slipping)
One way clutch No.2 (F2) failure
Longer than standards "N" → "R"
Lower line pressure
Direct clutch (C2) failure (slipping)
1st & reverse brake (B3) failure (slipping)
B5 brake failure (slipping)

Hydraulic Test

Tools Required

J 21867-50 Transmission Line Pressure Adapter
J 21867 Pressure Gage
Hydraulic test can inspect working condition inside A/T by measuring line pressure in "D" / "R" range and "idle" / "stall" condition.

  1. Install J 21867 and J 21867-50 to test hole for line pressure.
  2. Fully pressed on foot brake pedal with left foot, shift into "D" and "R" range and measure line pressure "idle" / "stall" condition.
Line pressure Mpa (psi)

1.71-1.99 (248.01-288.63)

Notice : Do not continuously run longer than 5 sec because of extreme increasing oil temperature.

Make sure to keep interval for more than 1 min between stall tests.
Make sure to check no oil leak after installing oil pressure gage adapter.
