Vehicle does not move in D, M or R position

• Vehicle does not move when accelerator pedal is depressed.

• The engine revs up but the vehicle does not move even though the accelerator pedal is depressed.

• Tires are locked and do not move even though the accelerator pedal is depressed.

(See VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE IN D, M OR R POSITION [FW6A-EL].)

Vehicle moves in P position, or parking gear does not disengage when P is disengaged

• Vehicle rolls when on a downward slope in P position.

• Vehicle does not move in D, M and R position when accelerator pedal is depressed, and engine remains in stalled condition.

(See VEHICLE MOVES IN P POSITION, OR PARKING GEAR DOES NOT DISENGAGE WHEN P IS DISENGAGED [FW6A-EL].)

Excessive creep

• Vehicle accelerates in D and R position when accelerator pedal is not depressed.

(See EXCESSIVE CREEP [FW6A-EL].)

No creep at all

• Vehicle does not move in D, M or R position when idling on flat paved road.

(See NO CREEP AT ALL [FW6A-EL].)

Low maximum speed and poor acceleration

• Vehicle acceleration is poor at start.

• Delayed acceleration when accelerator pedal is depressed while driving.

(See LOW MAXIMUM SPEED AND POOR ACCELERATION [FW6A-EL].)

No shifting

• Single shift position only.

• Sometimes shifts correctly.

(See NO SHIFTING [FW6A-EL].)

Does not shift to 5GR or 6GR

• Vehicle does not upshift from 4GR to 5GR or 5GR to 6GR even though vehicle speed is increased.

• At a vehicle speed range where the transaxle should shift up to 5GR and 6GR gears in D position based on the shift pattern, the transaxle does not shift to 5GR and 6GR gears by gradually releasing the accelerator pedal.

(See DOES NOT SHIFT TO 5GR OR 6GR [FW6A-EL].)

Abnormal shifting

• Shifts incorrectly (incorrect shift pattern).

(See ABNORMAL SHIFTING [FW6A-EL].)

Frequent shifting

• Downshifting occurs suddenly even when accelerator pedal is depressed slightly in D position.

(See FREQUENT SHIFTING [FW6A-EL].)

Shift point is high or low

• Shift point considerably different from automatic shift diagram.

• Shift delays when accelerating.

• Shift occurs suddenly when accelerating and engine speed does not increase.

(See SHIFT POINT IS HIGH OR LOW [FW6A-EL].)

No kickdown

• Does not downshift when accelerator pedal is fully depressed within kickdown range.

(See NO KICKDOWN [FW6A-EL].)

Engine flares up or slips when upshifting or downshifting

• When accelerator pedal is depressed, engine speed increases normally but vehicle speed increases slowly.

• When accelerator pedal is depressed while driving, engine speed increases but vehicle speed does not.

(See ENGINE FLARES UP OR SLIPS WHEN UPSHIFTING OR DOWNSHIFTING [FW6A-EL].)

Judder upon torque converter clutch (TCC) operation

• Vehicle jolts when TCC is engaged.

(See JUDDER UPON TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC) OPERATION [FW6A-EL].)

Excessive shift shock from N to D or N to R position

• Strong shock is felt when shifting from N to D or N to R position at idle.

(See EXCESSIVE SHIFT SHOCK FROM N TO D OR N TO R POSITION [FW6A-EL].)

Slow engaging after operating selector lever from N to D position

• When depressing the accelerator pedal just after operating the selector lever from N to D position with the ATF temperature at 60 degrees C or more, it takes 3 s or more to engage.

• Malfunction symptom only occurs once when accelerating from a standstill.

• Engagement after operating the selector lever from N to R position is normal.

(See SLOW ENGAGING AFTER OPERATING SELECTOR LEVER FROM N TO D POSITION [FW6A-EL].)

Excessive shift shock is felt when upshifting and downshifting

• Excessive shift shock is felt when depressing accelerator pedal to accelerate at upshifting.

• During cruising, excessive shift shock is felt when depressing accelerator pedal at downshifting.

(See EXCESSIVE SHIFT SHOCK IS FELT WHEN UPSHIFTING AND DOWNSHIFTING [FW6A-EL].)

Excessive shift shock on torque converter clutch (TCC)

• Strong shock is felt when TCC is engaged.

(See EXCESSIVE SHIFT SHOCK ON TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC) [FW6A-EL].)

Noise occurs at idle when vehicle is stopped in all positions

• Transaxle is noisy in all positions when vehicle idling.

(See NOISE OCCURS AT IDLE WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED IN ALL POSITIONS [FW6A-EL].)

Noise occurs at idle when vehicle is stopped in D, M or R position

• Transaxle is noisy in driving positions when vehicle is idling.

(See NOISE OCCURS AT IDLE WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED IN D, M OR R POSITION [FW6A-EL].)

Transaxle overheats

• Burnt smell emitted from the transaxle.

• Smoke is emitted from the transaxle.

(See TRANSAXLE OVERHEATS [FW6A-EL].)

Engine stalls when shifted to D, M or R position

• Engine stalls when shifting from N or P position to D, M or R position at idle.

(See ENGINE STALLS WHEN SHIFTED TO D, M OR R POSITION [FW6A-EL].)

Starter does not work

• Starter does not work even when in P or N position.

(See STARTER DOES NOT WORK [FW6A-EL].)

Gear position indicator does not illuminate in M position

• Gear position indicator in instrument cluster does not illuminate in M position with the ignition switched ON (engine off or on).

(See GEAR POSITION INDICATOR DOES NOT ILLUMINATE IN M POSITION [FW6A-EL].)

Gear position indicator illuminates in P, R, N and D positions

• Gear position indicator in instrument cluster illuminates in P, R, N and D positions with the ignition switched ON (engine off or on).

(See GEAR POSITION INDICATOR ILLUMINATES IN P, R, N AND D POSITIONS [FW6A-EL].)

M position indicator light does not illuminate in M position/M position indicator light illuminates in D position

• M position indicator light in instrument cluster does not illuminate in M position or M position indicator light in instrument cluster in P, R, N and D positions with the ignition switched ON (engine off or on).

(See M POSITION INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE IN M POSITION/M POSITION INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATES IN D POSITION [FW6A-EL].)

ATF seeping from automatic transaxle

• ATF is seeping from the automatic transaxle case.

• Foreign matter mixed with ATF is in the automatic transaxle case.

(See ATF SEEPING FROM AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE [FW6A-EL].)
