A/T Does Not Shift: D3 -> D4

A/T Does Not Shift: D3 -> D4

SYMPTOM:
^ The vehicle does not shift-up from the D3 to D4 gear at the specified speed.
^ The vehicle does not shift-up from the D3 to D4 gear unless A/T is warmed up.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
1. CONFIRM THE SYMPTOM
Check if vehicle creeps forward in "D" position and vehicle can be started from D1.

OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Refer to "Vehicle Does Not Creep Forward In "D" Position", "Vehicle Cannot Be Started From D1". Vehicle Does Not Creep Forward In D Position

2. CHECK SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULTS
Perform self-diagnosis.

Do the self-diagnosis results indicate ATF pressure switch 1, ATF pressure switch 3, front brake solenoid valve, input clutch solenoid valve, accelerator pedal position sensor, vehicle speed sensor A/T (revolution sensor) and vehicle speed sensor MTR?
YES >> Check the malfunctioning system. Refer to "DTC P1841 ATF PRESSURE SWITCH 1", "DTC P1843 ATF PRESSURE SWITCH 3", "DTC P1757 FRONT BRAKE SOLENOID VALVE", "DTC P0720 VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR A/T (REVOLUTION SENSOR)", "DTC P1721 VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR MTR". "DTC P1752 INPUT CLUTCH SOLENOID VALVE".

OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 5.
NG >> Check the line pressure solenoid valve. Refer to "DTC P0745 LINE PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE". P0745

5. CHECK SYMPTOM
Check again.

OK or NG
OK >> INSPECTION END
