No.17 Excessive Shift Shock From N to D or N to R Position/Range [AW6A-EL]:

Diagnostic procedure

Step 1:

Step 2-Step 7:

Initial Learning

Warning
^ When performing a initial learning, be aware of other vehicles, people, and other impediments to order to avoid an accident.

Note
^ While self-learning control gradually reduces shock during normal driving, initial learning is performed to initially learn a certain amount of driving conditions.

1. Warm-up
^ Increase the ATF temperature by leaving the vehicle idling or performing city driving. Verify that the ATF temperature is between 66-110 C (151-230 F). If the ATF temperature is outside this range, work to bring it inside the range.

Caution
^ Do not raise the ATF temperature by stalling the engine.

Note
^ If the ATF temperature is not between 66-110 C (151-230 F), initial learning cannot be performed. Before learning, inspect for variable shift shock.

2. Garage shift learning
^ With the vehicle standing still, depress the brake pedal and keep the selector lever in N position for 3 s. Then, shift the selector lever from the N position into D range, and maintain in this condition for 3 s. Repeat this procedure 5 times. Then repeat it 5 times in the same way for R position.
3. Gear shift control learning
^ In D range, with the throttle opening between 25-30 %, drive until you reach 6th gear and a vehicle speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) or higher. Then, release the accelerator pedal and coast, and bring the vehicle to a stop in at least 60 s. Repeat this procedure 10 times.
4. Inspect learning results
^ Verify that variable speed shock and shift shock have decreased compared to the conditions before learning.
