Pinpoint Test D: Engagement Quality - Forward

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
- Delayed/soft forward
  - Check the transmission fluid level. REFER to: Transmission Fluid Level Check .
  - Carry out the transmission strategy download and the adaptive learning drive cycle. REFER to: Transmission Strategy Download . REFER to: Adaptive Learning Drive Cycle .
  - Carry out the line pressure test. If line pressure is low, refer to the Line Pressure Diagnosis Chart for further diagnosis. REFER to: Special Testing Procedures .
  - Check the A clutch for a slipping apply condition. REFER to: A Clutch .
  - Check the hydraulic SOWC for slipping. REFER to: Hydraulic Selectable One-Way Clutch Assembly .
- Harsh forward
  - Carry out the transmission strategy download and the adaptive learning drive cycle. REFER to: Transmission Strategy Download . REFER to: Adaptive Learning Drive Cycle .
  - Check the A clutch for a harsh apply condition. REFER to: A Clutch .
  - Check the hydraulic SOWC for damage. REFER to: Hydraulic Selectable One-Way Clutch Assembly .
- Neutral after launch
  - Check the hydraulic SOWC for slipping. REFER to: Hydraulic Selectable One-Way Clutch Assembly .
- Slip on hard acceleration in 1st
  - Check the hydraulic SOWC for slipping. REFER to: Hydraulic Selectable One-Way Clutch Assembly .
- Harsh/soft/delayed engagement after start/stop restart
  - Inspect the auto start-stop accumulator for external leaks. If leaks are found, INSTALL a new auto start-stop accumulator. REFER to: Auto-Start-Stop Accumulator .
