NOTE: Always drive the vehicle in a safe manner according to driving conditions and obey all traffic laws.NOTE: The Transmission Drive Cycle Test must be followed exactly. Malfunctions must occur four times consecutively for shift error DTC code to be set, and five times consecutively for continuous torque converter clutch code to set.
NOTE: When performing the Transmission Drive Cycle Test, refer to the Solenoid Application Chart for proper solenoid operation.
After performing the Quick Test, use the Transmission Drive Cycle Test for checking continuous codes.
1. Record and then erase Quick Test codes.
2. Warm engine to normal operating temperature.
3. Make sure transmission fluid level is correct.
4. With transmission in Overdrive, moderately accelerate from stop to 80 km/h (50 mph). This allows the transmission to shift into fourth gear. Hold speed and throttle open steady for a minimum of 15 seconds.
5. With transmission in fourth gear and maintaining steady speed and throttle opening, lightly apply and release brake to operate stoplamps. Then hold speed and throttle steady for a minimum of five seconds.
6. Brake to a stop and remain stopped for a minimum of 20 seconds.
7. Repeat steps 4 through 6 at least five times.
8. Perform Quick Test and record continuous DTCs.
- If the DTCs are still present, refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Chart. Repair all non transmission DTCs first as they can directly affect the operation of the transmission. Repeat the Quick Test and the Road Test to verify the correction. Erase the DTCs, carry out the Drive Cycle Test and repeat the Quick Test after completing repair on the DTC.
- If the continuous test passes and a concern is still present, refer to Diagnosis by Symptom and TSBs for concerns.4R70W
