SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING CHART
| No. | TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM | DESCRIPTION | PAGE |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vehicle does not move in D range, or in R position | Vehicle does not move when accelerator pedal is depressed. | (See NO. 1 VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE IN D RANGE, OR IN R POSITION ). |
| 2 | Vehicle moves in N position | Vehicle creeps in N position. Vehicle creeps if brake pedal is not depressed in N position. |
(See NO. 2 VEHICLE MOVES IN N POSITION ). |
| 3 | Vehicle moves in P position, or parking gear does not disengage when P position is disengaged | Vehicle rolls when on a downward slope and tires do not lock in P position. Tires locked when P position is disengaged, vehicle does not move in D range, and R position when accelerator pedal is depressed, and engine remains in stalled condition. |
(See NO. 3 VEHICLE MOVES IN P POSITION, OR PARKING GEAR DOES NOT DISENGAGE WHEN P IS DISENGAGED ). |
| 4 | Excessive creep | Vehicle accelerates in D range, and R position when accelerator pedal is not depressed. | (See NO. 4 EXCESSIVE CREEP ). |
| 5 | No creep at all | Vehicle does not move in D range, or R position when idling on flat paved road. | (See NO. 5 NO CREEP AT ALL ). |
| 6 | Low maximum speed and poor acceleration | Vehicle acceleration is poor at start. Delayed acceleration when accelerator pedal is depressed while driving. |
(See NO. 6 LOW MAXIMUM SPEED AND POOR ACCELERATION ). |
| 7 | No shifting | Single shift range only. Sometimes shifts correctly. |
(See NO. 7 NO SHIFTING ). |
| 8 | Does not shift to 4GR | Vehicle does not upshift from 3GR to 4GR even though vehicle speed is increased. Vehicle does not shift to 4GR even though accelerator pedal is released in D range at 60 km/h {37 mph}. |
(See NO. 8 DOES NOT SHIFT TO 4GR ). |
| 9 | Abnormal shifting | Shifts incorrectly (incorrect shift pattern). | (See NO. 9 ABNORMAL SHIFTING ). |
| 10 | Frequent shifting | Downshifting occurs suddenly even when accelerator pedal is depressed slightly in D range. | (See NO. 10 FREQUENT SHIFTING ). |
| 11 | Shift point is high or low | Shift point considerably different from automatic shift diagram. Shift delays when accelerating. Shift occurs suddenly when accelerating and engine speed does not increase. |
(See NO. 11 SHIFT POINT IS HIGH OR LOW ). |
| 12 | Torque converter clutch (TCC) non-operation | TCC does not operate when vehicle reaches TCC operation range. |
(See NO. 12 TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC) NON-OPERATION ). |
| 13 | No kickdown | Does not downshift when accelerator pedal is fully depressed within kickdown range. | (See NO. 13 NO KICKDOWN ). |
| 14 | Engine flares up or slips when upshifting or downshifting | When accelerator pedal is depressed, engine speed increases normally but vehicle speed increases slowly. When accelerator pedal is depressed while driving, engine speed increases but vehicle speed does not. |
(See NO. 14 ENGINE FLARES UP OR SLIPS WHEN UPSHIFTING OR DOWNSHIFTING ). |
| 15 | Engine flares up or slips when accelerating vehicle | Engine flares up when accelerator pedal is depressed for upshifting. Engine flares up suddenly when accelerator pedal is depressed for downshifting. |
(See NO. 15 ENGINE FLARES UP OR SLIPS WHEN ACCELERATING VEHICLE ). |
| 16 | Judder upon torque converter clutch (TCC) operation | Vehicle jolts when TCC is engaged. | (See NO. 16 JUDDER UPON TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC) OPERATION ). |
| 17 | Excessive shift shock from N to D or N to R position/range | Strong shock is felt when shifting from N to D or N to R position/range at idle. | (See NO. 17 EXCESSIVE SHIFT SHOCK FROM N TO D OR N TO R POSITION/RANGE ). |
| 18 | Excessive shift shock is given when upshifting and downshifting | Excessive shift shock is felt when depressing accelerator pedal to accelerate at upshifting. During cruising, excessive shift shock is felt when depressing accelerator pedal at downshifting. |
(See NO. 18 EXCESSIVE SHIFT SHOCK IS FELT WHEN UPSHIFTING AND DOWNSHIFTING ). |
| 19 | Excessive shift shock on torque converter clutch (TCC) | Strong shock is felt when TCC is engaged. | (See NO. 19 EXCESSIVE SHIFT SHOCK ON TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC) ). |
| 20 | Noise occurs at idle when vehicle is stopped in all positions/ranges | Transaxle is noisy in all positions and ranges when vehicle idling. | (See NO. 20 NOISE OCCURS AT IDLE WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED IN ALL POSITIONS/RANGES ). |
| 21 | Noise occurs at idle when vehicle is stopped in D range, or in R position | Transaxle is noisy in driving ranges when vehicle is idling. | (See NO. 21 NOISE OCCURS AT IDLE WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED IN D RANGE, OR IN R POSITION ). |
| 22 | No engine braking in 1GR position of M range | Engine speed drops to idle but vehicle coasts when accelerator pedal is released when in M range (1GR) at low vehicle speed. | (See NO. 22 NO ENGINE BRAKING IN 1GR POSITION OF M RANGE ). |
| 23 | Transaxle overheats | Burnt smell emitted from the transaxle. Smoke is emitted from the transaxle. | (See NO. 23 TRANSAXLE OVERHEATS ). |
| 24 | Engine stalls when shifted to D range, or in R position | Engine stalls when shifting from N or P position to D range or R position at idle. | (See NO. 24 ENGINE STALLS WHEN SHIFTED TO D RANGE, OR IN R POSITION ). |
| 25 | Engine stalls when driving at slow speeds or stopping | Engine stalls when brake pedal is depressed while driving at tow speed or stopping. | (See NO. 25 ENGINE STALLS WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS OR STOPPING ). |
| 26 | Starter does not work | Starter does not work even when in P or N position is selected. | (See NO. 26 STARTER DOES NOT WORK ). |
| 27 | Gear position indicator light does not illuminate in M range | Gear position indicator light in instrument cluster does not illuminate in M range with ignition switch at ON. | (See NO. 27 GEAR POSITION INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE IN M RANGE ). |
| 28 | Gear position indicator light illuminate in D range | Gear position indicator light in instrument cluster illuminate in D range with ignition switch at ON. | (See NO. 28 GEAR POSITION INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATE IN D RANGE ). |
| 29 | Does not upshift in M range | Gear position indicator light in instrument cluster illuminates but vehicle does not upshift when selector lever is pushed to "+" side. | (See NO. 29 DOES NOT UPSHIFT IN M RANGE ). |
| 30 | Does not downshift in M range | Gear position indicator light in instrument cluster illuminates but vehicle does not downshift when selector lever is pushed to "-" side. | (See NO. 30 DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT IN M RANGE ). |
