id050315104500

TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM

Slow engaging after operating selector lever from N to D position

DESCRIPTION

•  When depressing the accelerator pedal just after operating the selector lever from N to D position with the ATF temperature at 60 °C {140 °F} or more, it takes 3 s or more to engage.

•  Malfunction symptom only occurs once when accelerating from a standstill.

•  Engagement after operating the selector lever from N to R position is normal.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

1.  Insufficient TCM learning (Insufficient learning in N to D position)

2.  Low clutch piston malfunction

3.  Low clutch hydraulic system sealing malfunction

4.  Control valve body malfunction

Diagnostic Procedure

Step

Inspection

Results

Action

1

VERIFY DTCs

•  Are any DTCs detected?

Yes

Repair the malfunctioning location according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.

(See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DTC TABLE [TCM (FW6A-EL)].)

No

Go to the next step.

2

PERFORM INITIAL LEARNING AND N TO D RANGE LEARNING

1.  Perform the initial learning.
(See INITIAL LEARNING [FW6A-EL].)

2.  Perform the N to D position learning using the following procedure:

(1) Set the ATF temperature to 30 °C {86 °F} or more.

(2) Shift the selector lever to N position.

(3) Shift the selector lever to D position and wait for 5 s or more.

(4) Shift the selector lever to N position and wait for 5 s or more.

(5) Perform steps (3) to (4) 10 times.

•  Has the malfunction symptom been eliminated?

Yes

Complete the symptom troubleshooting.

No

Go to the next step.

3

VERIFY IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS CONTROL VALVE BODY

•  Inspect the value at the following TCM PIDs using the M-MDS.
(See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM PID/DATA MONITOR INSPECTION [TCM (FW6A-EL)].)

•  Is there any malfunction?

Yes

Replace the control valve body.

(See CONTROL VALVE BODY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [FW6A-EL].)

No

Replace the automatic transaxle.

(See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [FW6A-EL].)
