Manual Shifting Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Toyota RAV4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. MANUAL SHIFTING TEST 

    HINT:

    • Through this test, it can be determined whether the trouble occurs in the electrical circuit or if it is a mechanical problem in the transaxle.
    • If any abnormalities are found in the following test, the problem is in the transaxle itself.
    1. Disconnect the connector of the transmission wire.

      HINT:

      It is possible to deactivate the electrical shift control by disconnecting the transmission wire. The gear positions can then be changed mechanically with the shift lever.

    2. Drive with the transmission wire disconnected. Move the shift lever to each position to check whether the gear position changes as shown in the table below.
      GEAR POSITION CHANGES REFERENCE

      Shift Lever Position Shifting Condition
      1 ←→ 2 Not Shift (Not Change)
      2 ←→ 3 Down Shift ←→ Up Shift
      3 ←→ 4 ←→ D Not Shift (Not Change)

      HINT:

      While driving with the transmission wire disconnected:

      • When the shift lever position is in L or 2, the gear position is held in 3rd.
      • When the shift lever position is in 3, 4 or D, the gear position is held in 4th.
      • When the shift lever position is in R or P, the operation is the same as usual.
    3. Connect the connector of the transmission wire.
    4. Clear the DTC (see DTC CHECK / CLEAR  ).
