Trouble Shooting: Notes

NOTE: Any diagnosis should begin with confirming the customer's complaint. If possible, road test vehicle first, and note transmission performance for future reference during diagnosis.

NOTE: Driveability problems appearing to be transaxle related may be caused by a faulty engine component. Engine-related fault codes MUST be repaired before diagnosing transaxle. See appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. Failure to diagnose and repair engine fault codes prior to transaxle diagnosis may result in incorrect diagnosis or component repair.
