Problem Symptoms Table

Use the chart below to verify the symptoms of the trouble in order to diagnose the appropriate area.

HINT:

When driving on high-altitude roads, the TCM determines that the driving mode is the AAS mode, and may change to a different shift timing from the normal timing.

TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM	DESCRIPTION	REFERENCE
Vehicle does not move in D, M or R position	Vehicle does not move when accelerator pedal is depressed. The engine revs up but the vehicle does not move even though the accelerator pedal is depressed. Tires are locked and do not move even though the accelerator pedal is depressed.	Refer to VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE IN D, M OR R POSITION [07/2015 - ]
Vehicle moves in P position, or parking gear does not disengage when P is disengaged	Vehicle rolls when on a downward slope in P position. Vehicle does not move in D, M and R position when accelerator pedal is depressed, and engine remains in stalled condition.	Refer to VEHICLE MOVES IN P POSITION, OR PARKING GEAR DOES NOT DISENGAGE WHEN P IS DISENGAGED [07/2015 - ]
Excessive creep	Vehicle accelerates in D and R position when accelerator pedal is not depressed.	Refer to EXCESSIVE CREEP [07/2015 - ]
No creep at all	Vehicle does not move in D, M or R position when idling on flat paved road.	Refer to NO CREEP AT ALL [07/2015 - ]
Low maximum speed and poor acceleration	Vehicle acceleration is poor at start. Delayed acceleration when accelerator pedal is depressed while driving.	Refer to LOW MAXIMUM SPEED AND POOR ACCELERATION [07/2015 - ]
No shifting	Single shift position only. Sometimes shifts correctly.	Refer to NO SHIFTING [07/2015 - ]
Does not shift to 5GR or 6GR	Vehicle does not upshift from 4GR to 5GR or 5GR to 6GR even though vehicle speed is increased. At a vehicle speed range where the transaxle should shift up to 5GR and 6GR gears in D position based on the shift pattern, the transaxle does not shift to 5GR and 6GR gears by gradually releasing the accelerator pedal.	Refer to DOES NOT SHIFT TO 5GR OR 6GR [07/2015 - ]
Abnormal shifting	Shifts incorrectly (incorrect shift pattern).	Refer to ABNORMAL SHIFTING [07/2015 - ]
Frequent shifting	Downshifting occurs suddenly even when accelerator pedal is depressed slightly in D position.	Refer to FREQUENT SHIFTING [07/2015 - ]
Shift point is high or low	Shift point considerably different from shift point. Shift delays when accelerating. Shift occurs suddenly when accelerating and engine speed does not increase.	Refer to SHIFT POINT IS HIGH OR LOW [07/2015 - ]
No kickdown	Does not downshift when accelerator pedal is fully depressed within kickdown range.	Refer to NO KICKDOWN [07/2015 - ]
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.	Refer to ENGINE FLARES UP OR SLIPS WHEN UPSHIFTING OR DOWNSHIFTING [07/2015 - ]
Judder upon torque converter clutch (TCC) operation	Vehicle jolts when TCC is engaged.	Refer to JUDDER UPON TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC) OPERATION [07/2015 - ]
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.	Refer to EXCESSIVE SHIFT SHOCK FROM N TO D OR N TO R POSITION [07/2015 - ]
Slow engaging after operating selector lever from N to D position	When depressing the accelerator pedal just after operating the selector lever from N to D position with the ATF temperature at 60°C {140°F} or more, it takes 3 s or more to engage. Malfunction symptom only occurs once when accelerating from a standstill. Engagement after operating the selector lever from N to R position is normal.	Refer to SLOW ENGAGING AFTER OPERATING SELECTOR LEVER FROM N TO D POSITION [07/2015 - ]
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.	Refer to EXCESSIVE SHIFT SHOCK IS FELT WHEN UPSHIFTING AND DOWNSHIFTING [07/2015 - ]
Excessive shift shock on torque converter clutch (TCC)	Strong shock is felt when TCC is engaged.	Refer to EXCESSIVE SHIFT SHOCK ON TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC) [07/2015 - ]
Noise occurs at idle when vehicle is stopped in all positions	Transaxle is noisy in all positions when vehicle idling.	Refer to NOISE OCCURS AT IDLE WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED IN ALL POSITIONS [07/2015 - ]
Noise occurs at idle when vehicle is stopped in D, M or R position	Transaxle is noisy in driving positions when vehicle is idling.	Refer to NOISE OCCURS AT IDLE WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED IN D, M OR R POSITION [07/2015 - ]
Transaxle overheats	Burnt smell emitted from the transaxle. Smoke is emitted from the transaxle.	Refer to TRANSAXLE OVERHEATS [07/2015 - ]
Engine stalls when shifted to D, M or R position	Engine stalls when shifting from N or P position to D, M or R position at idle.	Refer to ENGINE STALLS WHEN SHIFTED TO D, M OR R POSITION [07/2015 - ]
Starter does not work	Starter does not work even when in P or N position.	Refer to STARTER DOES NOT WORK [07/2015 - ]
Gear position indication does not illuminate in M position	Gear position indication in combination meter does not illuminate in M position with the ignition switched ON (engine off or on).	Refer to GEAR POSITION INDICATION DOES NOT ILLUMINATE IN M POSITION [07/2015 - ]
Gear position indication illuminates in P, R, N and D positions	Gear position indication in combination meter illuminates in P, R, N and D positions with the ignition switched ON (engine off or on).	Refer to GEAR POSITION INDICATION ILLUMINATES IN P, R, N AND D POSITIONS [07/2015 - ]
Manual shift mode indication does not illuminate in M position/Manual shift mode indication illuminates in D position	Manual shift mode indication in combination meter does not illuminate in M position or manual shift mode indication in combination meter in P, R, N and D positions with the ignition switched ON (engine off or on).	Refer to MANUAL SHIFT MODE INDICATION DOES NOT ILLUMINATE IN M POSITION/MANUAL SHIFT MODE INDICATION ILLUMINATES IN D POSITION [07/2015 - ]
ATF seeping from automatic transaxle	ATF is seeping from the automatic transaxle case. Foreign matter mixed with ATF is in the automatic transaxle case.	Refer to ATF SEEPING FROM AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE [07/2015 - ]
