Road Test: Reverse

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Perform the following test safely:

  1. With the vehicle stopped, move the gear selector to REVERSE.
  2. Slowly accelerate the vehicle.
  3. Verify that there is no noticeable slip, noise or vibration.
  4. This test ensures the control system is properly applying torque in the reverse direction.

This procedure checks general functionality of the transmission. For diagnosing intermittent problems, try to duplicate the conditions of the original complaint. Refer to freeze frame records if a DTC set to determine the conditions.
