NO.8 DOES NOT SHIFT TO 6GR [SJ6A-EL]

8

Does not shift to 6GR

DESCRIPTION

•  Vehicle does not upshift from 5GR to 6GR even though vehicle speed is increased.

•  Vehicle does not shift to 6GR even though accelerator pedal is released in D range at 80 km/h {50 mph}.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

•  Basically, TCC does not operate when the fail-safe is operating. Verify the DTC at first. If the TCC operates when driving at high speeds only, the malfunction (improper adjustment) is in the M range switch circuit or TR switch circuit.

Caution

•  If the TCC is stuck, inspect it. In addition, inspect the oil cooler for foreign particles which may have mixed in with the ATF.

―  C2 clutch, C3 clutch, B2 brake slippage, burnt

•  Line pressure low

•  Incorrect throttle position signal

•  Incorrect accelerator pedal position signal

•  Incorrect engine speed signal

•  Incorrect engine coolant temperature signal

•  Incorrect engine torque signal

•  VSS malfunction

•  Turbine sensor malfunction

•  Sensor GND malfunction

―  TFT sensor malfunction

•  Short or open circuit in wiring harness

•  Poor connection of connector

•  Sensor malfunction

―  TR switch malfunction

•  Selector lever adjustment incorrect

•  TR switch adjustment incorrect

―  Shift solenoid A, shift solenoid B, shift solenoid C, shift solenoid D, shift solenoid G, line pressure control solenoid malfunction

•  Short or open circuit in wiring harness

•  Poor connection of connector

•  Solenoid valve stuck

―  M range switch malfunction

•  Selector lever adjustment incorrect

•  Short or open circuit in wiring harness

―  Torque converter malfunction

―  Control valve body malfunction

Note

•  Before following the troubleshooting steps, make sure that the Automatic Transmission On-Board Diagnostic and Automatic Transmission Basic Inspection are conducted. (See BASIC INSPECTION [SJ6A-EL].)

Diagnostic procedure

STEP	INSPECTION		ACTION
1	• With the ignition switch at the ON position. • Does the gear position indicator light indication correspond to selector lever position?	Yes	Go to the next step.
1		No	Go to No.27 “GEAR POSITION INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE IN M RANGE”, or No.28 “GEAR POSITION INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATES IN D RANGE OR P, N, R POSITIONS”.
2	• Access the following PCM PIDs using the M-MDS. ― RPM ― APP ― TP ― ECT • Are PIDs value normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
2		No	Inspect and repair suspected PID related part.
3	• Inspect the TFT sensor. (See TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE (TFT) SENSOR INSPECTION [SJ6A-EL].) • Is the TFT sensor normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
3		No	Replace the TFT sensor.
4	• Drive the vehicle in D range and inspect following: ― 1–2 shift up and down ― 2–3 shift up and down ― 3–4 shift up and down ― 4–5 shift up and down ― 5–6 shift up and down • Are all shift-up and shift-down possible?	Yes	Go to the next step.
4		No	No shift at all: • Go to No.7 “NO SHIFTING”. Abnormal shift: • Go to No.9 “ABNORMAL SHIFTING”.
5	• Stop the engine. • Inspect following solenoid. (See SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTION [SJ6A-EL].) ― Shift solenoid A ― Shift solenoid B ― Shift solenoid C ― Shift solenoid D ― Shift solenoid F ― Line pressure control solenoid • Are they normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
5		No	Inspect for shift solenoid stuck. (See SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTION [SJ6A-EL].) Replace for malfunctioning parts according to inspection result. (See Automatic Transmission Workshop Manual SJ6A-EL.)
6	• Remove the torque converter. (See TORQUE CONVERTER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SJ6A-EL].) • Inspect the torque converter. • Is the torque converter normal?	Yes	Inspect the ATF condition. • If large amount of metal specks are found, overhaul the transaxle 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. (See CONTROL VALVE BODY REMOVAL [SJ6A-EL].) (See CONTROL VALVE BODY INSTALLATION [SJ6A-EL].)
6		No	Replace the torque converter.
7	• 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.
