MANUAL SHIFTING TEST
1. MANUAL SHIFTING TEST
HINT:
^ Through this test, it can be determined whether the trouble occurs in an electrical circuit or if it is a mechanical problem in the transaxle.
^ If any abnormalities are found in this test, the problem is in the transaxle itself.
a) Disconnect the connector of the transmission wire.
HINT: It is possible to deactivate the electrical shift control by disconnecting the transmission wire. The gear positions can then be changed mechanically with the shift lever.
b) Drive with the transmission wire disconnected. Move the shift lever to each position to check whether the gear position changes as shown in the table.
HINT: If the gear positions L, 2 and D are difficult to distinguish, do the ROAD TEST. If any abnormality is found in the above test, the problem is in the transaxle itself.
c) Connect the connector of the transmission wire.
d) Clear the DTC.

- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
