Preliminary Checks
NOTE:
For electronic diagnosis and component testing of A-240E series transaxles, see AUTO TRANS DIAGNOSIS - A-240E
article.
Automatic transaxle malfunctions can be caused by either engine or transaxle. Isolate malfunction to engine or transaxle before proceeding with trouble shooting. Prior to trouble shooting, check and adjust throttle cable, shift linkage, park/neutral position switch and idle speed RPM as necessary. Ensure fluid level is correct. Check tires for correct inflation.
