NOTE: Perform manual shift test if no DTCs are stored. Manual shift test determines if problem is in electrical circuits or is a mechanical transaxle problem. If the "L", "2" and "D" gear positions are difficult to distinguish, do the following road test. If any abnormalities are found in test, the problem is in the transaxle itself.
