General Troubleshooting Information (cont’d)
A
1. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A) located under the
driver’s side of the dashboard.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
3. Make sure the HDS communicates with the PCM. If it does not, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting
(see page 11-204).
4. Clear the DTC(s) on the HDS screen.
The OBD status shows the current system status of
each DTC and all of the parameters. This function is
used to see if the technician’s repair was successfully
completed. The results of diagnostic tests for the DTC
are displayed as:  PASSED: The on-board diagnosis is successfully completed.
 FAILED: The on-board diagnosis has finished but failed.
 NOT COMPLETED: The on-board diagnosis was running but is out of the enable conditions of the DTC. NOTE: Reset the PCM with the HDS while the engine is
stopped.
1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and wait for 30 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), and disconnect the HDS from the DLC.
4. Do the PCM idle learn procedure (see page 11-310).
5. Start the engine with the shift lever in P or N, and warm it up to normal operating temperature (the
radiator fan comes on).
6. To verify that the problem is repaired, test-drive the vehicle for several minutes at speeds over 50 km/h
(31 mph) or under the same conditions as those
indicated by the freeze data.
Make sure to follow these points while the vehicle is
raised on a lift for the test-drive.  Disable the VSA by pressing the VSA OFF switch.
 VSA DTC’s may come on when test-driving on a lift. If the VSA DTC(s) come on, clear the DTC(s) with the
HDS.

Gear SelectionPosition Description
Automatic Transmission Gear Position Indicator
Shift Indicator and M Indicator
14-29
The shift lever has five positions; P: PARK, R: REVERSE, N: NEUTRAL, D: DRIVE 1st thr ough 5th gear ranges with
D-position automatic shift mode and D-paddle shift mode, S: DRIVE 1st through 5th gear ranges with S-position
automatic shift mode and sequential sportshift mode.
P: PARK Front wheels locked; the park pawl engaged with the park gear on the countershaft. All clutches are released.
R: REVERSE Reverse; the reverse selector engaged with the c ountershaft reverse gear
and the 5th clutch engaged.
N: NEUTRAL All clutches are released.
D: DRIVE
(1st through 5th) General driving; starts off in 1st, shifts automatically to 2nd, 3rd, 4th, then
5th gear, depending on the vehicle speed and throttle position. Downshifts
through 4th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st on deceleration to stop. The lock-up
mechanism operates in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears.
S: DRIVE
(1st through 5th) S-position
automatic shift
modeFor rapid acceleration at highway speeds and general driving; starts off in
1st, shifts automatically to 2nd, 3rd, 4th, then 5th gear, depending on
vehicle speed and throttle position. Downshifts through 4th, 3rd, 2nd, and
1st gear on deceleration to stop. The lock-up mechanism operates in 2nd,
3rd, 4th, and 5th gears.
Sequential
sportshift mode Manual gear shift driving; vehicle can starts off in 1st and 2nd gears, and
does not upshift automatically.
NOTE: D-paddle shift mode has been added for ’08-09 models.
Starting the engine is possible only in P and N because of a slide-type neutral-safety switch.
The A/T gear position indicator in the gauge control module (tach) shows which shift l ever position has been selected
without having to look down at the console.
When the transmission is switched into the sequential sportshift mode, the shift indicator in the gauge control module
(tach) displays the gear selected, and the M indicator next to the shift indicator comes on. The shift indicator also
displays the gear selected in the D-paddle shift mode, but the M indicator does not come on.
NOTE: D-paddle shift mode has been added for ’08-09 models.

Î Shift Control - Manual Shift Mode
D-Paddle Shift Mode
14-43
SHIFT INDICATOR
The transmission is provided with a D-paddle shift mode in D, and with a sequential sportshift mode in S. Both modes
are entered by pressing the paddle shifter (upshift switch) or the paddle shifter (downshift switch) while driving.
When the transmission is switched into the D-paddle shift mode by pressing the paddle shifters while driving in D, the
transmission can shift into a lower gear by pressing the paddle shifter (downshift switch), and it can shift into a
higher gear by pressing the paddle shifter (upshift switch). When the transmission shifts into a lower gear or a
higher gear by pressing the paddle shifters, the shift indicator in the gauge control module (tach) displays the number
of current gear selected. This number of the gear goes off when the transmission downshifts automatically, or when
the transmission upshifts automatically while coasting.
The transmission stays in 5th gear if the paddle shifter (upshift switch) is pressed when driving in 5th gear, and the
shift indicator displays ‘‘5’’ for 2 seconds, then goes off. The transmission stays in 1st gear if the paddle shifter is
pressed when driving in 1st gear, and the shift indicator displays ‘‘1’’ for 2 seconds, then goes off.
The transmission stays in the current gear and does not upshift to the next higher gear if the paddle shifter is
pressed while driving below the minimum allowable speed, and the shift indicator blinks the number of the next
higher gear several times, then returns to the number of the current gear.
NOTE: D-paddle shift mode has been added for ’08-09 models.

Electronic Control System (cont’d)
S Position Automatic Shift Mode and Sequential Sportshift Mode
14-44 Automatic Transmission
System Description (cont’d)
SHIFT INDICATOR
’’M’’ INDICATOR
The S position has two shifting modes; the automatic shift mode and the sequential sportshift mode. In the S position
automatic shift mode, the transmission upshifts and downshifts automatically from 1st through 4th gear, and the
paddle shifters are ready to be activated to switch to the sequential sportshift mode. In the automatic shift mode, the
shift indicator and the M indicator in the gauge control module (tach) do not come on.
When the paddle shifter (upshift switch) or the paddle shifter (downshift switch) is pressed, the automatic shift
mode is canceled and the sequential sportshift mode comes into operation. The shift indicator displays the number of
the selected gear, and the M indicator comes on. In the sequential sportshift mode, the driver can shift up and down
manually from 1st through 5th gear by using the paddle shifters, much like a manual transmission. The paddle shifters
are installed on the back of the steering wheel, and the driver can shift gears by pressing the paddle shifters without
taking either hand off the steering wheel.
In the sequential sportshift mode, the transmission must be shifted up and down by pressing the paddle shifters.
However, the transmission cannot downshift and stays in the current gear if the paddle shifter is pressed while the
vehicle is coasting at a speed that would cause the engine to over-rev by downshifting the transmission, and the shift
indicator blinks the number of the selected gear several times, then returns to the number of the current gear. If the
vehicle speed reaches an appropriate speed while the shift indicator is blinking the number of the selected gear, the
transmission downshifts and the shift indicator displays the selected gear. The transmission also cannot upshift and
stays in the current gear if the paddle shifter is pressed while driving below an appropriate upshifting speed, the
shift indicator blinks the number of the selected gear several times, then returns to the number of the current gear. If
the vehicle speed reaches an appropriate upshift speed while the shift indicator is blinking the number of the selected
gear, the transmission upshifts and the shift indicator displays the selected gear.
This mode has automatic downshifting areas so the vehicle can run smoothly with more power to cope with upcoming
acceleration. When coasting in 5th gear or 4th gear, the transmission downshifts to the next lower gear if the vehicle
slows down to the programmed speed, or by pressing the brake pedal.
When the transmission decelerates to a stop, the transmission shifts to 1st gear automatically. The transmission can
be shifted to 2nd gear by pressing the paddle shifter while the vehicle is stopped, and the vehicle can start off in 2nd
gear.
The sequential sportshift mode is canceled when moving the shift lever to any position other than S.
