  Possibility of slip of clutch is supposed.  If slip of clutch has occurred, a DTC of "Gear ratio error" is stored. 
 
Possible Cause: 
  Slip of clutch. 
  If slip of clutch is caused, a DTC (gear ratio error) is stored. 
  Dropped line pressure.

Step Action Yes No 
1 Gear ratio trouble diagnosis. 
Travel in the following sequence for about 7 seconds or more in 
each range:  Start in the L range (1st) to 2 range (2nd) to 3 range 
(3rd) to D range (4th) (to detect the gear ratio trouble exactly, this 
process should be carried out) 
Go to Step 2 Go to Step 2 
2 Are any DTCs stored? 
Go to DTC Chart Go to Step 3 
3 Are the quantity, contamination and smell normal?  
If the ATF level is 
low, replenish up to 
the specified level.
  
Go to Step 4 
 
If ATF is extremely 
black and 
contaminated and 
smells burnt, slip of 
the clutch is 
supposed.  
Overhaul the AT 
unit. 
4 Are the engine speed and other engine system correct? 
Go to Step 5 
Repair the defect or 
replace. 
5 Inspection of electrical or mechanical fault 
Is the signal from each pressure switch changed synchronously?

DIAGNOSIS (JR405E)  7A2-103 
No. B4: Large Shock When Shift Lever is Changed to N to D 
Range or N to R Range 
 
Description: 
  Large shock is felt when selecting D or R range from N range during the idling after warming up. 
 
Diagnosis Hints: 
  Check the entire condition of the vehicle for unusual other than AT including faulty engine mount, exhaust 
hanger, etc. 
  When the fail-safe operation, select shock may grow worse.  In such a case, check for the DTC. If no DTC is 
issued, shock due to faulty operation of the control valve or burnt clutch is considered. 
 
Possible Cause: 
  High engine idling. 
  Dislocated select lever, improper inhibitor switch adjusting point. 
  Faulty or insufficient tightening of engine mount, exhaust mount. 
  Play of suspension. 
 Burnt clutch. 
  Too low or high line pressure. 
  Faulty input signal system. 
  Faulty control valve. (faulty operation or sticking of accumulator)

7A2-104  DIAGNOSIS (JR405E) 
No. B5: Engine Stalls When Selecting From N Range to  
R, D, 3, 2 or L Range 
 
Description: 
  The engine stalls when selecting from N or P range to a run range during the engine idling. 
 
Diagnosis Hints: 
  As causes attributable to the engine, faulty idle up, insufficient engine output, etc. are considered. 
  As a cause of the AT system, faulty lockup piston system (lockup engine stall) is considered. 
  If the oil through resistance increases remarkably due to clogged oil cooler or some other reason, or if the ATF 
level decreases, the lock-up piston works causing the engine stall. 
 
Possible Cause: 
  Disordered idling speed, faulty idle up, faulty engine output, shortage output. 
  Insufficient ATF quantity (dropped level). 
  Clogged oil cooler (foreign substance mixed in). 
  Faulty lock-up piston (clogged oil passage of solenoid drive circuit, faulty operation). 
 
Step Action Yes No

electric load is turned on? 
Go to Step 5

DIAGNOSIS (JR405E)  7A2-115  
No. D1: Faulty Gear Shifting (Different from Shift Pattern) 
  
Description:  
    Gear is shifted, different from the specified shift pattern.  
  
Diagnosis Hints:  
    When inspecting faulty gear shifting, it is important to distinguish between the fault of electric system and  
mechanical system (AT main unit). 
    Fault of electric system.  
  Monitor the output signal (each solenoid driving signal) using with Tech 2.  If a trouble signal is sent to the  solenoid synchronously with the faulty gear shifting, the fault is originated in the electric system. 
  Monitor the input signal (signal from each sensor) using with Tech 2 and find an input signal by which the output  signal (each solenoid driving signal) is subjected to fault. 
  Fault of the electric system may be derived from temperature or vibration.  For instance, though the engine is  normal while it is cold, fault may occur when the engine is warmed up or vehicle is running. 
    Fault of mechanical system.  
  If the gear is incorrectly shifted irrespective of operating signal (ON-OFF) of each solenoid, the faulty is  originated from the machine system (AT). 
  If the clutch slips, ATF smells burnt, contaminated to be black or the stall speed increases.  
  
Possible Cause:  
    Disordered select cable.  
    Disordered inhibitor switch.  
    Slip of clutch.  
If slip of clutch is caused, a DTC (gear ratio error) is stored. 
    Fixing at 3rd position (fail-safe activated)  
  Since the gear is fixed at the 3rd position because of the fail-safe function, a trouble that "Faulty gear  shifting" is resulted.  In this case, the DTC is memorized. 
When TCM stops operation because of faulty TCM ground, the gear is fixed at the 3rd position because 
of a mechanical reason.  In this case, no DTC is memorized. 
 
   
 
  Incorrect properties of throttle opening signal (serial communication) of throttle position sensor.  
The throttle opening signal which is sent by serial communication from ECM and TCM is an important 
signal for gear shifting.  In case of ECM fault or when the throttle position sensor does not issue voltage 
signal according to the throttle opening, the gear is not shifted by stepping over the accelerator. 
If the output voltage of the throttle position sensor changes freely even though the throttle opening is 
constant, the gear is shifted incorrectly.  
    
  
  
    Faulty speed sensor.
