A/T FLUID COOLER SERVICE
If ATF contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.), or if an A/T is repaired, overhauled, or replaced, inspect and clean the A/T fluid cooler mounted in the radiator or replace the radiator. Flush cooler lines using cleaning solvent and compressed air after repair.

OBD-II SELF-DIAGNOSIS
^ A/T self-diagnosis is performed by the TCM in combination with the ECM. The results can be read through the blinking pattern of the A/T CHECK indicator or the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). Refer to the table on AT-86, "SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULT MODE" for the indicator used to display each self-diagnostic result. Self-Diagnostic Result Mode
^ The self-diagnostic results indicated by the MIL are automatically stored in both the ECM and TCM memories.
^ Always perform the procedure on AT-38, "HOW TO ERASE DTC" to complete the repair and avoid unnecessary blinking of the MIL. How to Erase DTC
