Shift Solenoid Operation Chart

NOTE:
- Prior to entering pinpoint tests, refer to any TSBs for AX4S transaxle concerns.
- Prior to entering pinpoint tests, the vehicle harness must be checked for continuity and shorts the powertrain control module (PCM) must be checked for any concerns.
- If any non-transaxle DTCs appear, service those codes first. They could affect the electrical operation of the transaxle. Record and erase codes from continuous memory after service has been performed. After servicing any DTCs in the Quick Test, the Quick Test should be repeated.
- Check PCM wiring harness for proper connections, bent or broken pins, corrosion, loose wires, proper routing, proper seals and their condition. Check the powertrain control module, sensors and actuators for physical damage.

If DTCs are present while performing the On-Board Diagnostic, refer to On-Board Diagnostic Trouble Code Description Chart for the appropriate service procedure.
