Diagnostic Procedure

  1. Did you perform the diagnostic system check? If so, go to next step. If not, see DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
  2. Did you perform the transmission fluid checking procedure? If so, go to next step. If not, perform the transmission fluid checking procedure. See appropriate AUTOMATIC article in TRANSMISSION SERVICING.
    3. CAUTION: DO NOT operate the transaxle continuously in an incorrect gear ratio. Internal transaxle component damage may occur.
  3. Install a scan tool. Turn ignition on, engine off. Before clearing the DTCs, use the scan tool to record the freeze frame and failure records for reference. Using the CLEAR INFO function will erase the stored freeze frame and failure records from the PCM. Record the freeze frame and failure records. Clear the DTCs. Accelerate the vehicle in D4 range. With the scan tool, observe current (commanded) gear and gear ratio for each gear. Standard values are:
    • 1st: 2.87:1 to 2.97:1
    • 2nd: 1.52:1 to 1.62:1
    • 3rd: 0.95:1 to 1.05:1
    • 4th: 0.65:1 to 0.75:1

    Did the gear ratios indicate a 4-3-3-4 shift pattern? If so, go to next step. If not, see DIAGNOSTIC AIDS  .

  4. Inspect the 2-3 shift solenoid valve/hydraulic circuit for the following conditions:
    • An internal malfunction.
    • Damaged seals on the shift solenoid valve.

    Did you find and correct the condition? If so, go to next step.

  5. Perform the following procedure to verify the repair:
    • Select DTC.
    • Select CLEAR INFO.
    • Drive the vehicle in D4 with the throttle angle at least 10 percent until the transaxle shifts to 2nd gear.
    • Ensure that the gear ratios are as specified for 1st and 2nd gear.
    • Select SPECIFIC DTC.
    • Enter DTC P0756.

    Has the test run and passed? If so, system is okay. If not, go to step  1 .
