9. A/T Does Not Shift: D1 --> D2 or Does Not Kickdown: D4 --> D2

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

SYMPTOM: 

A/T does not shift from D1 to D2 at the specified speed. 

A/T does not shift from D4 to D2 when depressing accelerator pedal fully at the specified speed. 

  1. CHECK SYMPTOM 

    Are "7. Vehicle Does Not Creep Forward In D, 3, 2 Or 1 Position" and "8. Vehicle Cannot Be Started From D1" OK?

    Yes or No

    1. Yes: GO TO 2.
    2. No: Go to "7. VEHICLE DOES NOT CREEP FORWARD IN D, 3, 2 OR 1 POSITION  and "8. VEHICLE CANNOT BE STARTED FROM D1 ".
  2. CHECK SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS 

    With CONSULT-II 

    Does "TCM INPUT SIGNALS" in "DATA MONITOR" show damage to park/neutral position (PNP) switch circuit?

    Without CONSULT-II 

    Does self-diagnosis show damage to park/neutral position (PNP) switch circuit?

    Yes or No

    1. Yes: Check park/neutral position (PNP) switch circuit. Refer to "DTC P0705 PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ".
    2. No: GO TO 3.
