Diagnostic procedure
11 Shift point is high or low
DESCRIPTION•Shift point considerably different from automatic shift diagram.
•Shift delays when accelerating.
•Shift occurs quickly when accelerating and engine speed does not increase.
POSSIBLE

•Verify that output signal of TP sensor changes linearly.
Note
•Before following troubleshooting steps, make sure that Automatic Transaxle On-Board Diagnostic
and Automatic Transaxle Basic Inspection are conducted.
12 Torque converter clutch (TCC) non-operation
DESCRIPTION•TCC does not operate when vehicle reaches TCC operation range.
POSSIBLE
CAUSE•Basically, TCC does not operate when fail-safe is operating. Verify DTC at first. If TCC operates when
driving at high speeds only, the malfunction (improper adjustment) is in D and/or M ranges switch circuit
or TR switch circuit.

17 Excessive shift shock from N to D or N to R position/range
DESCRIPTION•Strong shock felt when shifting from N to D or N to R position/range at idle.
POSSIBLE
CAUSE•Shift shock may worsen when fail-safe is operating. If no DTC is output, shift shock may worsen due to
poor operation of control valve body or sticking of clutch.

OUTLINEA6E632227100201Features
Improved off-road mobility, handling stability, operability, fuel economy and marketability
•An electronic 4WD control system, which automatically optimizes traction distribution to the front and rear
wheels, has been adopted.
Improved serviceability
•A self-diagnostic function has been adopted for the electronic 4WD control system.
Electronic 4WD control system outline
•The newly adopted electronic 4WD control system automatically and optimally controls drive torque distribution
for the front and rear wheels. Due to this off-road mobility, driving stability and fuel economy are improved.
•Based on the input signals from each sensor, the 4WD control modure (4WD CM) determines vehicle driving
and road conditions, and controls output current to the electronic control coupling (4WD solenoid) inside the
rear differential. This control allows for optimal distribution of the drive torque from the engine to the rear
wheels.
•Also, the 4WD CM automatically controls the 4WD, greatly reducing the load on the driver and improving
operability.
