NOTE: Any diagnosis should begin with confirming the customer's complaint. If possible, road test vehicle first, and note transaxle performance for future reference during diagnosis. When trouble shooting transaxle, perform PRELIMINARY INSPECTION first, then check for stored DTCs and repair as necessary. If no DTCs exist, perform manual shift test to determine if problem area is an electrical circuit or a mechanical transaxle problem. See MANUAL SHIFT TEST under PERFORMANCE TESTS.
