Mechanical System Tests

HINT: With this test, it can be determined whether the trouble lies within the electrical circuit or is a mechanical problem in the transmission.

Solenoid Wire:

- Disconnect solenoid wire.
- Inspect manual driving operation.
- Check that the shift and gear positions correspond with the table below.

Manual Driving Test:

HINT: If the L, 2 and D range gear positions are difficult to distinguish, perform the following road test.

- While driving, shift through the L, 2 and D ranges.
- Check that the gear change corresponds to the shift position.
- If any abnormality is found in the above test, the problem lies in transmission itself.
- Connect solenoid wire.
- Clear diagnostic codes.
