Symptom Troubleshooting Item Table
- Use the chart below to verify the symptoms of the trouble in order to diagnose the appropriate area.
NOTE:
- If a tire of a different diameter from the standard tire is installed, the TCM determines that the driving mode is the AAS mode, and may change to a different shift timing from the normal timing.
| No. | TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM | DESCRIPTION | PAGE |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vehicle does not move in D, M or in R position | Vehicle does not move when accelerator pedal is depressed. | (See NO.1 VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE IN D, M 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, M 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, M 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, M 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 5GR | Vehicle does not upshift from 4GR to 5GR even though vehicle speed is increased. Vehicle does not shift to 5GR even though accelerator pedal is released in D position at 60 km/h {37 mph} . |
(See NO.8 DOES NOT SHIFT TO 5GR .) |
| 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 position. | (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 | Strong shock is felt when shifting from N to D or N to R position at idle. | (See NO.17 EXCESSIVE SHIFT SHOCK FROM N TO D OR N TO R POSITION .) |
| 18 | Excessive shift shock is felt 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 | Transaxle is noisy in all positions when vehicle idling. | (See NO.20 NOISE OCCURS AT IDLE WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED IN ALL POSITIONS .) |
| 21 | Noise occurs at idle when vehicle is stopped in D, M 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, M OR IN R POSITION .) |
| 22 | No engine braking in 1GR position of M position | Engine speed drops to idle but vehicle coasts when accelerator pedal is released when in M position (1GR) at low vehicle speed. | (See NO.22 NO ENGINE BRAKING IN 1GR POSITION OF M POSITION .) |
| 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, M or in R position | Engine stalls when shifting from N or P position to D, M or R position at idle. | (See NO.24 ENGINE STALLS WHEN SHIFTED TO D, M OR IN R POSITION .) |
| 25 | Engine stalls when driving at slow speeds or stopping | Engine stalls when brake pedal is depressed while driving at low 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. | (See NO.26 STARTER DOES NOT WORK .) |
| 27 | Gear position indicator light does not illuminate in M position | Gear position indicator light in instrument cluster does not illuminate in D or M position with the ignition at ON. | (See NO.27 GEAR POSITION INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE IN M POSITION .) |
| 28 | Gear position indicator light illuminates in P, R, N and D position | Gear position indicator light in instrument cluster illuminates in P, R and N position with the ignition at ON. | (See NO.28 GEAR POSITION INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATES IN P, R, N AND D POSITION .) |
| 29 | Does not upshift in M position | 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 POSITION .) |
| 30 | Does not downshift in M position | 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 POSITION .) |
| 31 | M position indicator light dose not illuminate in M position/M position indicator light illuminate in D position | M position indicator light in instrument cluster dose not illuminate in M position or M position indicator light in instrument cluster in D position with the ignition at ON. | (See NO.31 M POSITION INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE IN M POSITION/M POSITION INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATES IN D POSITION .) |
| 32 | ATF seeping into automatic transaxle | ATF is seeping into the automatic transaxle case. Foreign matter mixed with ATF is in the automatic transaxle case. |
(See NO.32 ATF SEEPING INTO AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE .) |
