Reverse (R)

• With vehicle stopped, move gear selector to R (Reverse) and observe:
  • Solenoid 1 is OFF.
  • Solenoid 2 is OFF.

Use a scan tool to see if any transaxle trouble codes have been set. Refer to "DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) IDENTIFICATION :" and repair the vehicle as directed. After repairing the vehicle, perform the hoist test and verify that the code has not set again.

If the transaxle is not performing well and no trouble codes have been set, there may be an intermittent condition. Check all electrical connections for damage or a loose fit. You also have to perform a snapshot test which can help catch an intermittent condition that dose not occur long enough to set a code.

You may want to read "Electronic Component Diagnosis" to become familiar with transaxle conditions caused by transaxle electrical malfunction.

If no trouble codes have been set and the condition is suspected to be hydraulic, take the vehicle on a road test.
