NO.18 EXCESSIVE SHIFT SHOCK IS GIVEN WHEN UPSHIFTING AND DOWNSHIFTING [SJ6A-EL]


id050307802300

18
Excessive shift shock is given when upshifting and downshifting
DESCRIPTION
•  Excessive shift shock is felt when depressing the accelerator pedal at upshifting.
•  During cruising, excessive shift shock is felt when depressing the accelerator pedal at downshifting.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  Shift shock may worsen when the fail-safe is operating. The shift shock may worsen if the APP sensor or turbine sensor malfunctions.
―  Clutch slippage, burnt (C1 clutch, C2 clutch, C3 clutch, B1 brake, B2 brake, B3 brake, B4 brake)
•  ATF level low
•  Line pressure low, high
•  Incorrect accelerator pedal position signal
•  Turbine sensor malfunction
•  Shift solenoid A malfunction
•  Shift solenoid B malfunction
•  Shift solenoid C malfunction
•  Shift solenoid D malfunction
•  Shift solenoid E malfunction
•  Line pressure control solenoid malfunction
•  TCC control solenoid malfunction
•  Shift solenoid F malfunction
•  Shift solenoid G malfunction
•  Body ground and sensor ground malfunction
•  Control valve body malfunction
•  TCM malfunction
•  AT internal malfunction
•  TR switch malfunction
•  Harness and/or connector malfunction
•  Insufficient battery voltage
•  Loose parts installation (engine or transmission mounts, suspension, propeller shaft)
―  Poor hydraulic operation (Malfunction in position change)

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
•  Inspect for continuity between the TCM terminal 2P, 2X and battery negative terminal.
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the suspected wiring harness.
2
PCM PIDs:
―  APP
―  TP_REL
TCM PIDs:
―  SSA_CC
―  SSB_CC
―  SLT
―  SSLU_C
―  TSS
―  OSS
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results.
3
•  Stop the engine.
•  Inspect the following solenoid:
―  Shift solenoid A
―  Shift solenoid B
―  Shift solenoid C
―  Shift solenoid D
―  Shift solenoid E
―  Line pressure control solenoid malfunction
―  TCC control solenoid malfunction
―  Shift solenoid F
―  Shift solenoid G
•  Are these solenoids normal?
Yes
Inspect the ATF condition.
•  If a large amount of metal specks are found, overhaul the transmission and repair or replace any malfunctioning parts.
(See Automatic Transmission Workshop Manual [SJ6A-EL].)
•  If a large amount of metal specks are not found, replace the control valve body.
No
Replace the control valve body.
4
•  Verify test results.
―  If normal, return to the diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms.
―  If malfunction remains, inspect the related Service Information and perform repair or diagnosis.
•  If the vehicle is repaired, troubleshooting completed.
•  If the vehicle is not repaired or additional diagnostic information is not available, replace the TCM. (See TCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SJ6A-EL].)
