(A)

(B)

When  any  malfunction  occurs  in  the  items  related  to  the  A/T
system, which are described below, the symbol (A) continues
being displayed in the information screen in the multi information
display.
Check if the diagnostic trouble code is set when the symbol (A)
continues being displayed in the information screen in the multi
information display.

NOTE: 

When the symbol (B) is displayed in the information

screen in the multi information display, the transmission
fluid temperature is high. (Symbol (B) is turned on when the
fluid temperature is approximately 140°C (284°F)or higher
and turned off automatically when the fluid temperature
drops below approximately 135°C(275°F).)

NOTE: 

When transmission fluid becomes a high temperature,

control to lower temperature of transmission fluid acts,
and "D" is displayed of a run with sports mode by a shift
indicator in a multi information display; and normal from
sports mode; shifting is replaced automatically. In
addition, there is the case that does not accept operation
to sports mode. It is control to lower temperature of
transmission fluid, and this phenomenon is not trouble. If
temperature of transmission fluid falls, A/T returns to
normal movement.

ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS

The  transaxle  control  module  (TCM)  monitors  its
input/output  signals  (some  signals  all  the  time  and
others under specified conditions). When an irregular
signal is initially monitored, the TCM decides that a
malfunction has occurred and records the occurrence
as a diagnostic trouble code. There are 45 diagnostic
items. The diagnostic results can be read with scan

tool. Diagnostic trouble codes are kept in memory by
direct battery feed. The codes are retained in memory
even  if  the  ignition  switch  is  in  the  "LOCK"  (OFF)
position. DTCs are not erased even after the battery
terminals and the TCM connector are disconnected.
In addition, the diagnostic trouble code can also be
erased by scan tool.

NOTE: 

If a sensor is disconnected when the ignition switch

is in the "ON" position, a diagnostic trouble code is stored
in memory. In this case, erase the DTC using scan tool.

The  45  diagnostic  items  are  displayed  in  numeric
order.

HOW TO INITIALIZE A/T LEARNED VALUE

M12301000226USA0000010000

AIM

A/T  learned  value  must  be  reset  whenever  the
automatic  transaxle,  engine  assembly,  A/T  valve
body, or A/T solenoid valve is replaced. It cannot be
reset by disconnecting the battery. Use the M.U.T.-III
as follows:

INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE

1.

Move the selector lever to the P range and turn the
ignition switch to the LOCK (OFF) position. Then,
connect M.U.T.-III to the diagnosis connector.

2.

Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, and then
move the selector lever to the R range.

3.

Depress the accelerator pedal while depressing the
brake  pedal.  (Engine  stops.)  Erase  the  diagnosis
code at this point.

NOTE: 

This reset procedure will also

automatically initialize the INVECS-II Learned
Value. A/T DTCs and A/T freeze-frame data will be
erased. (Engine DTCs, engine-related freeze-frame
data, and Readiness status will remain even after
A/T Learned Value is reset.)

FAIL-SAFE/BACKUP FUNCTION

M12301000083USA0000010000

When a malfunction of a main sensor or actuator is
detected by the PCM, the transaxle is controlled by
pre-set  control  logic  to  maintain  safe  conditions  for
driving.

The  following  table  shows  how  the  fail-safe/backup
function affects vehicle driveability and operation.

DTC  code
No.
