Inspection Procedure 8: Shift Shock When Shifting from N to R and Long Delay
COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
If abnormal shock or delay of two seconds or more occurs when the selector lever is shifted from N to R range while the engine is idling, the cause is probably abnormal pressure in reverse clutch and low-reverse clutch or a malfunction of the reverse clutch, low-reverse brake, valve body or throttle position sensor.
PROBABLE CAUSES
  • Malfunction of low-reverse solenoid valve
  • Malfunction of input shaft speed sensor
  • Malfunction of the inhibitor switch
  • Abnormal reverse clutch pressure
  • Abnormal low-reverse brake pressure
  • Malfunction of throttle position sensor
  • Malfunction of the reverse clutch
  • Malfunction of low-reverse brake
  • Malfunction of valve body
  • Malfunction of the engine-A/T-ECU
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
STEP 2. MUT-II/III data list
Item 22: Input shaft speed sensor (Refer to data list reference table
) <Except for Hong Kong spec.>.
Item 01: Input shaft speed sensor (Refer to data list reference table ) <Vehicles for Hong Kong spec.>.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 3.
NO:  Refer to diagnosis code 22: Input shaft speed sensor system <4G63, 4G64>, <4G69>.
STEP 3. MUT-II/III data list
Item 61: Inhibitor switch (Refer to data list reference table
).
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 4.
NO:  Refer to inspection procedure 16: Inhibitor switch system <4G63, 4G64>, <4G69>.
STEP 4. MUT-II/III data list
Item 31: Low-reverse solenoid valve duty ratio (Refer to data list reference table
).
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 5.
NO:  Replace the engine-A/T-ECU.
STEP 8. MUT-II/III data list
Item 11: Throttle position sensor (Refer to data list reference table
).
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 9.
NO:  Check the throttle position sensor system (Refer to GROUP 13A, Troubleshooting <4G63>, GROUP 13B, Troubleshooting <4G64>, Refer to GROUP 13C, Troubleshooting , <4G69>).
