TROUBLE SYMPTOM CHART

Trouble symptom Probable causes
Data communication trouble with Hi-Scan 
Trouble in communication with Hi-Scan may be caused by diagnosis line failure or failed ECM.
Diagnosis line failure
Connector failure
ECM failure
Driving trouble No start up 
No start-up with the shift lever at position "P" or "N". It may be caused by the engine system failure, the torque converter failure, or the oil pump failure.
Engine system failure
Connector failure
ECM failure
No forward motion 
Vehicle does not move forward when the shift lever moves from "N" to "D" with the engine running. It may be caused by the abnormal line pressure, the underdrive clutch failure, or the valve body failure.
Abnormal line pressure
UD solenoid valve failure
UD clutch failure
Valve body failure
No reverse motion 
Vehicle does not move backward when the shift lever moves from "N" to "R" with engine running. It may be caused by abnormal pressure in the reverse clutch or the LR brake, or the reverse clutch failure, the LR brake failure, or the valve body failure.
Abnormal reverse clutch pressure
Abnormal LR brake pressure
LR brake solenoid valve failure
Reverse clutch failure
LR brake failure
Valve body failure
No forward and backward motion 
Vehicle moves neither forward nor backward in any position of the shift lever with the engine running. It may caused by the abnormal line pressure, failed powertrain, failed oil pump, or failed valve body.
Abnormal line pressure
Powertrain failure
Oil pump failure
Valve body failure
Malfunction in start-up Engine stops in shifting 
If the engine stops when shifting N -->D or N -->R with the engine idling, it may be caused by failure in the engine system, the damper clutch, the solenoid valve, the valve body or the torque converter (the damper clutch).
Engine system failure
DCC solenoid valve failure
Valve failure
Valve body failure
Torque converter failure (Damper clutch failure)
Shifting shock Shock and retardation in shifting N -->D 
If there is abnormal shock and retardation longer then 2 seconds in shifting N -->D with the engine idling, it may be caused by abnormal the UD clutch pressure or the UD clutch failure, the valve body failure or the throttle position sensor failure. Abnormal UD clutch pressure
Abnormal LR brake pressure
UD solenoid valve failure
Valve body failure
Idling position switch failure
Shifting shock Shock and retardation in shifting N -->R 
If there is abnormal shock and retardation longer than 2 seconds in shifting N -->R with the engine idling, it may be caused by an abnormal reverse clutch pressure or abnormal LR brake pressure, or the reverse clutch failure, the LR brake failure, the valve body failure, or the throttle position sensor failure.
Abnormal reverse clutch pressure
Abnormal low pressure and reverse brake pressure
Low pressure and reverse solenoid valve failure
Reverse clutch failure
Low pressure and reverse brake failure
Valve body failure
Throttle position switch failure
Shock and retardation in shifting N -->D and N -->R 
If there is abnormal shock and retardation longer than 2 seconds in shifting N -->D and N -->R with the engine idling, it may be caused by abnormal line pressure, the fluid pump failure or the valve body failure.
Abnormal line pressure
Oil pump failure
Valve body failure
Malfunction in shifting Shock, turbine rpm increase 
If up-shifting or down-shifting shock occurs or the transaxle speed is higher than the engine speed during driving, it may be caused by abnormal line pressure, the solenoid valve failure, the oil pump failure, the valve body failure or the clutch brake failure.
Abnormal line pressure
Each solenoid valve failure
Oil pump failure
Valve body failure
Each clutch brake failure
Incorrect shifting range Shifting range error at every shifting point (shift timing error) 
If timing error occurs in every shifting point during driving, it may be caused by the speed sensor failure, the TPS failure, or the solenoid valve failure.
Output shaft speed sensor failure
Throttle position sensor failure
Each solenoid valve failure
Abnormal line pressure
Valve body failure
ECM failure
One or some shifting points (shift timing error) 
If timing error occurs in one or some shifting points during driving, it may be caused by faulty valve body or faulty control. It is not a failure.
Valve body failure
No shifting No trouble code output 
No shifting and no trouble code output during driving, may be caused by the transaxle range switch failure or ECM failure.
Transaxle range switch failure
ECM failure
Trouble during driving Poor acceleration 
If there occurs downshifting but no acceleration during driving, it may be caused by the engine system failure, the clutch failure, or the brake failure.
Engine system failure
Clutch or brake failure
Vibration 
If there occurs vibration during driving at a constant speed or during acceleration/deceleration the highest range, it may be caused by abnormal damper clutch pressure, or the engine system failure, the damper clutch control solenoid valve failure, the torque converter failure, or the valve body failure.
Abnormal clutch pressure
Engine system failure
Damper clutch control solenoid valve failure
Torque converter failure
Valve body failure
Others Transaxle inhibitor switch line 
Caused by the transaxle range switch circuit failure, the ignition switch circuit failure, or the ECM failure.
Transaxle range switch failure
Ignitor switch failure
Connector failure
ECM failure
Throttle position sensor line 
Caused by the throttle position sensor circuit faultiness, or the ECM failure.
Throttle position sensor
Connector failure
ECM failure
Triple switch line 
Caused by the triple switch circuit faultiness or the ECM failure.
Triple switch failure
Connector failure
A/C system failure
ECM failure
Vehicle speed sensor line 
Caused by the vehicle speed sensor circuit faultiness or the ECM failure
Vehicle speed sensor failure
Connector failure
ECM failure
