FREQUENT SHIFTING - DESCRIPTION AND POSSIBLE CAUSES

10	Frequent shifting
DESCRIPTION	Downshifting occurs immediately even when accelerator pedal depressed slightly in D, 3, 2 ranges except O/D OFF mode.
POSSIBLE CAUSE	The circuit which is the cause is basically the same as for No.9 "Abnormal shifting". However, a malfunction of input signal to TP sensor, input/turbine speed sensor, VSS (including the sensor ground, sensor harness and connector), or clutch slippage (clutch stuck, low pressure in line) may also be the cause. NOTE: Before following troubleshooting steps, make sure that the Automatic Transaxle On-Board Diagnostic and Automatic Transaxle Basic Inspection are conducted.
