6. Gently push the transaxle control cable in the direction of the

arrow, until the cable is taut. Tighten the adjusting nut.

Tightening torque: 12

± 2 N⋅m (107 ± 17 in-lb)

7. Check that the selector lever is in the "N" position.

3. If the transmission fluid temperature sensor resistance is

outside the specified range and the "N" range indicator light
is flashing, replace the transmission fluid temperature
sensor.
NOTE: The "N" range indicator light on the combination
meter flashes when the temperature reaches approximately
125

C (257

F) or greater, and then stops flashing when the

temperature drops below approximately 115

C (238

F).

A/T CONTROL RELAY CHECK

M1231009300248

1. Remove the A/T control relay.

2. Use jumper wires to connect A/T control relay terminal 3 to

the negative battery terminal and terminal 2 to the positive
battery terminal.

3. Check for continuity between A/T control relay terminals 1

and 4 when the jumper wires are connected to and
disconnected from the battery.

4. If there is any problem with the A/T control relay, replace it.

SOLENOID VALVE CHECK

M1231009400267

1. Use scan tool MB991958 (MUT-III sub assembly) to

measure the transmission fluid temperature. The desired
transmission fluid temperature setting for performing the
solenoid valve check is 20

°C (68°F).

2. Remove the A/T control solenoid valve assembly connector.
3. Measure the resistance between the solenoid valve

terminals.

4. The measured resistance of the solenoid valve when the

transmission fluid temperature is 20

°C (68°F) should match

the specified resistance on the chart below.

Specified resistance:

5. If the solenoid valve resistance is within the specified range,

check the power supply and the ground circuits.

6. If the solenoid valve resistance is not within the specified

range, drain the transmission fluid and remove the valve
body cover.

7. Disconnect the connector of any solenoid valves that are not

within the specified range.

8. Measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of any

solenoid valve that was not within the specified range.

Specified resistance: 2.7

− 3.4 Ω [at 20°C (68°F)]

9. If the resistance is not within the specified range, replace the

solenoid valve.

10.If the resistance is within the specified range, check the

wiring harness between the affected A/T control solenoid
valve assembly and the solenoid valve. If a problem is not
found in the above steps, check the solenoid valve O-rings
and replace them if necessary.

SELECTOR LEVER OPERATION CHECK

M1231001300426

1. Apply the parking brake, and check that the selector lever

moves smoothly and accurately to each position.

2. Check that the engine starts when the selector lever is at the

"N" or "P" position, and that it does not start when the
selector lever is in any other position.

3. Start the engine, release the parking brake, and check that

the vehicle moves forward when the selector lever is moved
from "N" position to "D," "3," "2" or "L" position or to 1st or
2nd gear in Sports mode, and that the vehicle reverses
when the selector lever is moved to "R" position.

4. Stop the engine.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position, and check that

the backup lamp illuminates when the selector lever is
shifted from "P" position to "R" position.
NOTE: The A/T mis-operation prevention mechanism is pro-
vided so that the selector lever cannot be moved from the
"P" position if the ignition switch is at a position other than
the "LOCK" (OFF) position and the brake pedal is not
depressed.

AC305529

THE SELECTOR LEVER MOVES WHEN THE
BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED AND THE
BUTTON IS PUSHED IN WITH THE IGNITION
KEY IN ANY POSITION OTHER THAN THE
"LOCK" (OFF) POSITION.

THE SELECTOR LEVER MOVES WITHOUT
PUSHING THE BUTTON.

THE SELECTOR LEVER MOVES WHEN THE
BUTTON IS PUSHED.
