NOTE:
- If a gear ratio is incorrect but is not detected accurately, it will not be output as a DTC. In order to be output, after shifting into each gear position, the gear position must be held while the vehicle is driven at a speed of 10 km/h {6.2 mph} or more for at least 7 s.
- An incorrect gear ratio refers to a situation in which, due to clutch slippage in the AT, the input and output rotation of the AT differs from a certain value.
- Perform road test preparation. (See ROAD TEST PREPARATION .)
