U140F AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION / TRANSAXLE: AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM: MANUAL SHIFTING TEST
1. PERFORM MANUAL SHIFTING TEST
The purpose of this manual shifting test is to determine whether a problem is caused by either mechanical or electrical factors. Disconnecting the transmission wire disables electrically-controlled automatic gear shifting. In this case, operating the shift lever is the only way to shift the transaxle gear. If the gear is not changed by shift lever operation, it is assumed that there is a mechanical problem.
(a) Turn the ignition switch off.
(b) Disconnect the transmission wire connector.
(c) Warm up the engine.
(d) Drive the vehicle.
(e) Check the transaxle operation when the shift lever is moved into L, 2, 3 and D positions.
Standard:
(f) Turn the ignition switch off.
(g) Connect the transmission wire connector.
(h) Clear DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
HINT
When the transmission wire is disconnected, the transaxle gear will be set as listed below.
