NO.2 VEHICLE MOVES IN N POSITION [FS5A-EL]

Vehicle moves in N position

DESCRIPTION

•  Vehicle creeps in N position.

•  Vehicle creeps if the brake pedal is not depressed in N position.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

•  If the vehicle moves in N position, basically, the malfunction is in the ATX. Since a malfunction in the sensor circuit or output circuit is the cause of the malfunction in the ATX, inspect the sensors, output circuit, and the related wiring harnesses.

1.  Clutch burnt (Forward clutch)

•  Control valve body malfunction

2.  Selector lever position disparity (Although the selector indicator shows N position, the hydraulic circuit shows D range or R position)

Note

•  Before following the troubleshooting steps, make sure that the Automatic Transaxle On-Board Diagnostic and Automatic Transaxle Basic Inspection are conducted. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DTC INSPECTION [FS5A-EL].) (See BASIC INSPECTION [FS5A-EL].)

Diagnostic procedure

STEP	INSPECTION		ACTION
1	Does the vehicle creep when the selector lever is moved slightly in N position?	Yes	Go to the next step.
1		No	Adjust the selector cable. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SHIFT MECHANISM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
2	Disconnect the TCM connector. Measure the resistance between ground terminal at the TCM connector and body ground. Is the resistance less than 5.0 ohms?	Yes	Go to the next step.
2		No	Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible open circuit.
3	Inspect the LPS PID value using the M-MDS. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM PID/DATA MONITOR INSPECTION [FS5A-EL].) Is the PID value normal?	Yes	Overhaul the control valve body and repair or replace any malfunctioning parts. (See ATX workshop manual [FS5A-EL].) If any problem remains: • Overhaul the transaxle and repair or replace any malfunctioning parts. (See ATX workshop manual [FS5A-EL].)
3		No	Repair or replace any malfunctioning parts.
4	• Verify the test results. ― If normal, return to the diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms. ― If the malfunction remains, inspect the related Service Information and perform repair or diagnosis. • If the vehicle is repaired, troubleshooting is completed. • If the vehicle is not repaired or additional diagnostic information is not available, replace the TCM. (See TCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [FS5A-EL].)
