Introduction To A/T Diagnosis
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the A/T is failed, have an interview with the user to gather precise information on the failure status. After that, perform on-board test to check if the failure is reproduced, and then start repair work. If the repair work is started on the assumption that the A/T is the failure cause from the beginning, the cause would not be investigated, and moreover, the secondary failure may be caused, resulting in a waste of repair time.
Failures regarding the A/T are categorized as follows.
- Poor adjustment, poor installation between the engine and body, and malfunction due to non-genuine device installation
- Poor engine performance
- Malfunction of the electronic control device
- Malfunction of the A/T inside (hydraulic control system, etc.)
- Others (oil leakage, damage, etc.)
