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.

Data list / active testSteering Pad Switch Circuit
DESCRIPTION
This circuit sends an operation signal from the steering pad switch to the
radio receiver.
If there is an open in the circuit, the audio system cannot be operated using
the steering pad switch.
If there is a short in the circuit, the same condition as that when the switch
is ...
Initialization
1. RESET MEMORY
NOTICE:
Perform the RESET MEMORY (AT initialization)
when replacing the automatic transaxle assembly,
engine assembly or ECM.
The RESET MEMORY can be performed only with
the Intelligent tester.
HINT:
The ECM memorizes the condition that the ...
Inspection
1. INSPECT BRAKE VACUUM CHECK VALVE ASSEMBLY
(a) Check the vacuum check valve.
(1) Slide the clip and disconnect the vacuum hose.
(2) Remove the vacuum check valve.
(3) Check that there is ventilation from the booster
to the engine, and no ventilation from the
engine to the booster.
