Engine stalls when shifted to D range, or in R position

DESCRIPTION

•  Engine stalls when shifting from N or P position to D range or R position at idle.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

•  The malfunction is on the engine control side (e.g. electronic controlled throttle system). Otherwise, the malfunction is in the input/turbine speed sensor (engine sometimes starts) or the TCC circuit (engine always stalls).

Note

•  Before following the troubleshooting steps, make sure that the Automatic Transaxle On-Board Diagnostic and Automatic Transaxle Basic Inspection are conducted. (See BASIC INSPECTION [AW6AX-EL].)
