TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
2. CHECK SHIFT-DOWN
During manual mode driving, is downshift from M5 → M4 → M3 → M2 → M1 performed?
With CONSULT-II
Read the gear position. Refer to AT- 9 6 , "
DATA MONITOR MODE" .
Is downshifting correctly performed?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Enter a check mark at “A/T Does Not Shift” at the corresponding position (5th → 4th, 4th → 3rd,
3rd → 2nd, 2nd → 1st) on the AT- 4 8 , "
DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET" , then continue the road test.
3. CHECK ENGINE BRAKE
Check engine brake.
Does engine braking effectively reduce speed in M1 position?
YES >> 1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Perform self-diagnostics. Refer to AT- 9 2 , "
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULT MODE" , AT- 1 0 3 ,
"Diagnostic Procedure without CONSULT-II" .
NO >> Enter a check mark at AT- 2 2 0 , "
Vehicle Does Not Decelerate by Engine Brake" on the AT- 4 8 ,
"DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET" , then continue trouble diagnosis.
