M Position Test

Inspect the shift point for the M position.

If there is any malfunction, refer to symptom troubleshooting and verify the malfunction symptom.

Perform the shift operation while driving and verify that the gears can be shifted.
Release the accelerator pedal while driving in 6th gear, and verify that the gears shift from 6th to 5th, 5th to 4th, 4th to 3rd, 3rd to 2nd, and 2nd to 1st. In addition, verify that the vehicle speed corresponds to the shift point when shifting.
Release the accelerator pedal while driving and verify that the engine braking operates in all gears.
Verify that the shift shock is minimal, shifting is smooth and timely, and there is no abnormal noise or slip.

Inspect 2nd gear fixed mode.
1. While the vehicle is stopped or the vehicle speed is 10 km/h {6.2 mph} or less, operate the selector lever toward + to shift to 2nd gear.
2. Verify that the gear is fixed in 2nd gear.
3. Release the accelerator pedal while driving and verify that the engine braking operates.
4. Perform the shift operation while driving and verify that the gears can be shifted.
