• Symptom Troubleshooting Index For Viewer
  • Engine does not start
  • Engine revs up abnormally high while driving, and no acceleration
  • Engine runs, but vehicle does not move in any positions/modes
  • Engine stalls when shifted to D position/mode from N position/mode
  • Engine stalls when shifted to R position/mode from N position/mode
  • Excessive idle vibration in N and P positions/modes
  • Excessive idle vibration in R, D, S, or L positions/modes
  • Excessive shock when accelerating and decelerating
  • Excessive shock when starting off
  • HDS does not communicate with the TCM
  • Judder when starting off
  • Late shift after shifting to D position/mode from N position/mode, and return to N position/mode
  • Late shift after shifting to R position/mode from N position/mode, and return to N position/mode
  • No engine braking
  • No shift to higher or lower ratio
  • Noise from transmission in D, S, or L positions/modes
  • Noise from transmission in N and P positions/modes
  • Noise from transmission in R position/mode
  • Poor acceleration
  • Shift lever cannot be moved from P position/mode while pressing on the brake pedal
  • Shift lever does not operate smoothly
  • Stall speed high
  • Stall speed low
  • Torque converter clutch does not disengage; engine stalls easily
  • Transmission will not shift into P position/mode, or transmission cannot shift out of P position/mode
  • Unstable engine speed
  • Vehicle does not creep on a flat road in D, S, or L positions/modes
  • Vehicle does not move in D, S, or L positions/modes
  • Vehicle does not move in R position/mode
  • Vehicle moves in N position/mode, shift cable is properly adjusted
  • Vibration in all positions/modes
  • With the vehicle in the ON mode, the shift position indicator displays an improper indication, or it never displays at all
