FAIL-SAFE CHART

Description

The fail-safe function minimizes the loss of operation when a malfunction occurs in a sensor or solenoid.

Fail-safe

(a) Fail-safe control list:

Malfunctioning Part	Function
Transmission Revolution Sensor (NT)	Lock up clutch control is prohibited. High response gear shifts are prohibited.
Transmission Revolution Sensor (NC)	Lock up clutch control is prohibited. High response gear shifts are prohibited.
Solenoid (SL1, SL2, SL3, SL4, SL5, SL6, SLT, SLU and SL) valve	If the ECM detects a solenoid valve malfunction, it performs fail-safe control.
ATF temperature sensor	Lock up clutch control is prohibited. High response gear shifts are prohibited.
ECM power supply (voltage is low)	When driving in 1st to 5th gear when a malfunction is detected, the transaxle will be fixed in 5th gear. When driving in 6th to 8th gear when a malfunction is detected, the transaxle will be fixed in the current gear.
Knock sensor	When driving in 1st to 5th gear when a malfunction is detected, up-shift to 6th or higher will be prohibited. When driving in 6th gear or higher when a malfunction is detected, up-shift to a higher gear will be prohibited. Lock up clutch control is prohibited. High response gear shifts are prohibited.
CAN communication	When driving in 1st to 3rd gear when a malfunction is detected, the transaxle will be fixed in 3rd gear. When driving in 4th to 8th gear when a malfunction is detected, up-shift to a higher gear will be prohibited. Lock up clutch control is prohibited. High response gear shifts are prohibited.
Solenoid (SLU) valve	Lock up clutch control is prohibited. Shifting to or from 3rd or 4th gear is prohibited. Shifting to or from 6th, 7th or 8th gear is prohibited.
Solenoid (SLT) valve	Engine output is limited. High response gear shifts are prohibited. Lock up clutch control is prohibited. The transaxle will be fixed in 5th gear.

*1: Operation of fail-safe is canceled the first time the vehicle is stopped.

*2: Operation of fail-safe is not canceled for subsequent times the vehicle is stopped.

Fail-safe operation is performed when the ECM detects a malfunction.

Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Range/Performance (P071000)

DESCRIPTION The ATF temperature sensor converts the automatic transaxle fluid (ATF) temperature into a resistance value for use by the ECM. The ECM applies a voltage to the temperature sensor through terminal THO1 of the ECM. The sensor resistance changes with the ATF temperature. As the tempera
