  2. F2 DRIVE CYCLE TEST 
    • While monitoring the appropriate sensor PID, drive the vehicle so that the transaxle upshifts and downshifts through all gears.
    • Does the intermediate shaft speed or OSS sensor PID increase and decrease with engine and vehicle speed? 
    1. YES  : Go to  F3.

  3. F3 DRIVE CYCLE TEST ERRATIC 
    • While monitoring the appropriate sensor PID, drive the vehicle so that the transaxle upshifts and downshifts through all gears.

    1. YES  : If the sensor signal is erratic, INSPECT for intermittent concern in the harness, sensor or connector. Go to  F4 .
    2. NO  : CLEAR all DTCs. RERUN On-Board Diagnostic (OBD).
