5A-18 Automatic Transmission/Transaxle:
Step 2. DTC / Freeze Frame Data Check, Record and
Clearance
First, referring to "DTC Check", check DTC and pending
DTC. If DTC exists, print or write down DTC and freeze
frame data and then clear malfunction DTC(s) by
referring to "DTC Clearance". Malfunction DTC indicates
malfunction in the system but it is not possible to know
from it whether the malfunction is occurring now or it
occurred in the past and normal condition has been
restored. In order to know that, check symptom in
question according to Step 5 and then recheck DTC
according to Step 6.
Diagnosing a trouble based on the DTC in this step only
or failure to clear the DTC in this step may result in an
faulty diagnosis, trouble diagnosis of a normal circuit or
difficulty in troubleshooting which is otherwise
unnecessary.
Step 3 and 4. Visual Inspection
As a preliminary step, be sure to perform visual check of
the items that support proper function of the engine and
automatic transaxle referring to "Visual Inspection".
Step 5. Trouble Symptom Confirmation

Also, reconfirm DTC according to "DTC Confirmation
Procedure" described in each DTC flow.
Step 6 and 7. Rechecking and Record of DTC and
Freeze Frame Data
Refer to "DTC Check" for checking procedure.

Check" first. When the end of the flow has been reached,
check the parts of the system suspected as a possible
cause referring to "A/T Symptom Diagnosis" and based
on symptoms appearing on the vehicle (symptoms
obtained through steps of customer complaint analysis,
trouble symptom confirmation and/or A/T basic check)
and repair or replace faulty parts, if any.
Step 9. Troubleshooting for DTC
Based on the DTC indicated in Step 6 / 7 and referring to
"applicable DTC flow", locate the cause of the trouble,
namely in a sensor, switch, wire harness, connector,
actuator, TCM or other part and repair or replace faulty
parts.
Step 10. Check for Intermittent Problem

occur (e.g. wire harness, connector, etc.), referring to
"Intermittent and Poor Connection Inspection in Section
00" and related circuit of DTC recorded in Step 2.
