NO.9 ABNORMAL SHIFTING [FN4A-EL]


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 slipped, burned • 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 misadjustment 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 sensor adjustment incorrect Note • Before following troubleshooting steps, make sure that Automatic Transaxle On-Board Diagnostic and Automatic Transaxle Basic Inspection are conducted.


STEP	INSPECTION		ACTION
1	• Disconnect PCM. • Is resistance between ground terminal at PCM connector and body ground less than 5.0 ohms?	Yes	Go to next step.
1		No	Repair open ground circuit. Reconnect PCM.
2	• Check the value at the following PIDs using the WDS or equivalent. (See PCM INSPECTION [WITHOUT WU-TWC].) (See PCM INSPECTION [WITH WU-TWC].) - TP - TSS - VSS • Is PID value normal?	Yes	Overhaul control valve body and repair or replace any defective parts. (See ATX workshop manual (FN4A-EL) [1623-10-98E].) If problem remains, overhaul transaxle and repair or replace any defective parts. (See ATX workshop manual (FN4A-EL) [1623-10-98E].)
2		No	Repair or replace any defective parts.
3	• Verify test results. - If normal, return to diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms. - If malfunction remains, inspect related Service Information and perform repair or diagnosis. • If vehicle repaired, troubleshooting completed. • If vehicle not repaired or additional diagnostic information not available, replace PCM.
