Manual Shifting Test

The purpose of this manual shifting test is to determine whether a problem is caused by either mechanical or electrical factors. Disconnecting the transmission wire disables electrically-controlled automatic gear shifting. In this case, operating the shift lever is the only way to shift the transaxle gear. If the gear is not changed by shift lever operation, it is assumed that there is a mechanical problem.

1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect the transmission wire connector.

3. Warm up the engine.

   SHIFT LEVER OPERATION
   
   

   Shift Lever	Operation
   L to 2	No shift (Not change)
   2 to D	No shift (Not change)
   D to 2	No shift (Not change)
   2 to L	No shift (Not change)

6. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
7. Connect the transmission wire connector.
8. Clear DTCs (see DTC CHECK / CLEAR  ).
