9 | Abnormal shifting
DESCRIPTION | • Shifts incorrectly (incorrect shift pattern).

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• There is a malfunction in the signal circuit which controls shifting (TP sensor, input/turbine speed sensor, vehicle speed sensor), the control valve is stuck, the accumulator (forward or servo apply) is stuck, or the clutch circuit is stuck.

  1. Clutch slippage, burnt

  • Line pressure low
  • Control valve body malfunction
  • Shift solenoid D malfunction
  • Shift solenoid E malfunction
  • Shift solenoid A malfunction
  • Shift solenoid B malfunction
  • Shift solenoid C malfunction
  • Body GND malfunction
  • Accelerator cable mis-adjustment

  2. Signal malfunction

  • Vehicle speed sensor malfunction
  • Sensor GND malfunction
  • TP sensor malfunction or mis-adjustment
  • Input/turbine speed sensor malfunction

  3. TR switch malfunction

  • Selector lever adjustment incorrect
  • TR switch adjustment incorrect

  Note

  • Before following the troubleshooting steps, make sure that the Automatic Transaxle On-Board Diagnostic and Automatic Transaxle Basic Inspection are conducted.

Diagnostic procedure

STEP | INSPECTION | ACTION
--- | --- | ---
1 | Disconnect the PCM connector. Is the resistance between the ground terminal at the PCM connector and the body ground less than 5.0 ohms? | Yes | Go to the next step.
No | Repair open ground circuit. Reconnect the PCM.

2

Inspect the value at the following PCM PIDs using the WDS or equivalent. (See PCM INSPECTION [ZJ, Z6].)
(See PCM INSPECTION [LF].)
• TP
• TSS
• OSS
Are the PID values normal?

Yes

Overhaul the control valve body and repair or replace any malfunctioning parts. (See ATX workshop manual (FN4A-EL).)
If any problem remains, overhaul the transaxle and repair or replace any malfunctioning parts. (See ATX workshop manual (FN4A-EL).)

No | Repair or replace any malfunctioning parts.

3

• Verify the test results.

  - If normal, return to the diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms.
  - If the malfunction remains, inspect the related Service information and perform repair or diagnosis.

  • If the vehicle is repaired, troubleshooting is completed.
  • If the vehicle is not repaired or additional diagnostic information is not available, replace the PCM.
