Manual Shift Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Lexus ES 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Perform manual shift test if no trouble codes exist. Manual shift test determines if problem is in electrical circuits or is a mechanical transaxle problem.
- Ensure ignition is off. Disconnect 10-pin solenoid connector located above PNP switch on transaxle.
- Road test vehicle and ensure transaxle gear changes corresponds with selector lever position. See GEAR APPLICATION table. If abnormality exists, a mechanical transaxle problem may exist. Turn ignition off.
- Reconnect solenoid connector. Clear trouble codes from ECM memory, as disconnecting solenoid connector will set a trouble code. See CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES under DIAGNOSIS & TESTING.
