ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC
For L3 engine ATX
5. Stop vehicle and access to ON BOARD SYSTEM
READINESS menu of GENERIC OBD
FUNCTION to inspect the Drive Mode completion
condition. If completed, RFC changes from NO to
YES.
6. If not completed, turn the ignition key to OFF, then go back to Step 4.
7. Access DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS menu of GENERIC OBD FUNCTIONS to inspect the
monitor results. If MEAS are not within the specification, repair has not completed.
8. Verify no DTC is available.

Operation
Range determination
•Each range is determined by operating the selector lever, and switching ON/OFF the switch in the TR switch
internal circuit. The present range is detected according to the ON/OFF signal of the switch.
•The following switches are built into the TR switch, and determine each range when the switch is on.
P position switch
R position switch
N position switch
D range switch

MANUAL MODE SHIFT CONTROL DESCRIPTIONA6E571418901204Outline
Features
•The manual mode shift control is activated by moving the selector lever from the D to M range position (selector
lever is shifted over toward front passenger side).
•Manual mode shift control with a manual shifting system allowing selection of gear positions by manual
operation of the selector lever forward (-) and back (+) has been adopted. Moreover, engine braking for all
gears in manual mode according to the gear ratio is available.
— Shifting between 1GR and 2GR when the vehicle is stopped is possible.
— When shifting from the D to M range while driving, the same gear position is maintained.
— Consecutive shifting in the M range has been adopted. When shifting down from M range 4GR or 3GR, one
gear can be skipped over by rapidly tapping the selector lever two times in the down-shift (-) direction.
•Selector lever position and gear position indicator lights, built into the instrument cluster, have been adopted.
— The selector indicator light includes a selector lever position indicator that displays selector lever positions
and, a gear position indicator light that displays gear positions.
