2014 - Mazda6 - Transmission/Transaxle

DOES NOT SHIFT TO 5GR OR 6GR [FW6A-EL]



TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM

Does not shift to 5GR or 6GR

DESCRIPTION

  • 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.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

  • Signal malfunction

    • APP sensor malfunction

    • BARO sensor malfunction

    • CKP sensor malfunction

    • IAT sensor No.1 malfunction

    • MAF sensor malfunction

  • Low-G (XY) sensor (built into SAS control module) malfunction

NOTE:

  • If a tire with a different diameter than the standard tire is installed, the TCM determines that the driving mode is the AAS mode, and may change to a different shift timing from the normal timing.

  • When SPORT mode is selected, a gear lower than NORMAL mode is selected, and the gear is maintained for a longer period of time. (with drive selection switch)

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1

INSPECT SIGNAL PARTS FOR MALFUNCTION
  • Inspect the value at the following PCM PIDs using the M-MDS.

    (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [SKYACTIV-G 2.5].)

    • APP (APP sensor)

    • BARO (BARO sensor)

    • IAT (IAT sensor No.1)

    • MAF (MAF sensor)

    • RPM (CKP sensor)

  • Is there any malfunction?

Yes

Repair or replace any malfunctioning parts according to the inspection result.

No

Go to the next step.

2

VERIFY IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS LOW-G (XY) SENSOR
  • Is there any malfunction?

Yes

Replace the SAS control module.

(See SAS CONTROL MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [STANDARD DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM].)

(See SAS CONTROL MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [TWO-STEP DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM].)

No

Symptom troubleshooting is completed.
