Road Test

WARNING: Do not exceed safe or legal speed limits during road test.

    (1) Transaxle shifts to TCM-controlled operation.
    (2) Transaxle shifts from TCM-controlled to non-TCM controlled operation.
  3. If transaxle does not shift within specified MPH range, determine affected elements. See APPLY & BRAKE CLUTCH APPLICATION  under TROUBLE SHOOTING.
  4. If all apply and brake clutch elements are affected, check oil pump, oil filter, cooler lines, solenoid valve No. 6, operation of ECO/SPORT switch (if equipped), condition of torque converter and/or engine. Repair as necessary.
  5. If one or more apply and brake clutch elements are affected, remove valve body. Locate appropriate fluid circuit in transaxle case and valve body. See Figure-Figure under VALVE BODY OIL CIRCUITS. Check for leaks and blockage. Repair as necessary.
  6. If hydraulic circuits are okay or problems with apply and brake clutch elements are mechanical, repair transaxle.
NOTE: If transaxle does not operate in manual 1st gear, check 1st-3rd apply clutch and reverse brake clutch for damage or wear. If transaxle does not operate in manual reverse gear, check reverse apply clutch and reverse brake clutch for damage or wear.
