D2: Gearshift Frequently
Diagnosis Hints• When inspecting faulty gear shifting, it is important to distinguish between
the fault of the electric system and transmission main unit.
• Fault of electric system. - Monitor the output signal (each solenoid driving signal) using a scan tool. 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 a scan tool and find an input signal which has an output signal (each solenoid driving
signal) subjected to a fault.
- Fault of the electric system may be derived from temperature or vibration. For instance, although the engine is normal while it is cold, fault may
occur when the engine is warmed up or the vehicle is running.
• Fault of mechanical system. - If the gear is incorrectly shifted, irrespective of the operating signal (On/ Off) of each solenoid, the fault is originated from the transmission main
unit.
- If the clutch slips, or the transmission fluid smells burnt or is contaminated or black, or the stall speed increases. Gear ratio error DTC might be set.

Lever Cable Checks Inspect the transmission range switch and selector lever cable for misadjusting
