Note

•  When driving on high-altitude roads, the TCM determines that the driving mode is the AAS mode, and may change to a different shift timing from the normal timing.

Troubleshooting item	Description	Page
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 [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-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 [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-EL].)
Excessive creep	•  Vehicle accelerates in D and R position when accelerator pedal is not depressed.	(See EXCESSIVE CREEP [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-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 [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-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 [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-EL].)
No shifting	•  Single shift position only. •  Sometimes shifts correctly.	(See NO SHIFTING [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-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 [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-EL].)
Abnormal shifting	•  Shifts incorrectly (incorrect shift pattern).	(See ABNORMAL SHIFTING [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-EL].)
Frequent shifting	•  Downshifting occurs suddenly even when accelerator pedal is depressed slightly in D position.	(See FREQUENT SHIFTING [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-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 [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-EL].)
No kickdown	•  Does not downshift when accelerator pedal is fully depressed within kickdown range.	(See NO KICKDOWN [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-EL].)
Engine flares up or slips when upshifting or downshifting	•  When shifting up while accelerating the vehicle with the accelerator pedal depressed, the engine revs. •  When shifting down while the vehicle is being driven normally with the accelerator pedal depressed, the engine revs rapidly.	(See ENGINE FLARES UP OR SLIPS WHEN UPSHIFTING OR DOWNSHIFTING [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-EL].)
Judder upon torque converter clutch (TCC) operation	•  Vehicle jolts when TCC is engaged.	(See JUDDER UPON TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC) OPERATION [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-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 [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-EL].)
Slow engaging after operating selector lever from N to D position	•  Slow engagement when depressing the accelerator pedal just after operating the selector lever from N to D position with the ATF temperature at 60 °C {140 °F} or more. •  Malfunction symptom only occurs once when accelerating from a standstill. •  Engagement after operating the selector lever from N to R position is normal. •  Engagement when shifting gears while driving is normal. •  DTCs are not stored.	(See SLOW ENGAGING AFTER OPERATING SELECTOR LEVER FROM N TO D POSITION [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-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 [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-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) [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-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 [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-EL].)
Noise occurs at idle when vehicle is stopped in D, M or R position	•  Abnormal noise/vibration occurs in the area around the ATX while the vehicle is being driven.	(See NOISE OCCURS AT IDLE WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED IN D, M OR R POSITION [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-EL].)
Transaxle overheats	•  Burnt smell emitted from the transaxle. •  Smoke is emitted from the transaxle.	(See TRANSAXLE OVERHEATS [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-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 [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-EL].)
Starter does not work	•  Starter does not work even when in P or N position.	(See STARTER DOES NOT WORK [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-EL].)
Gear position indication does not illuminate in M position	•  Gear position indication in instrument cluster does not illuminate in M position with the ignition switched ON (engine off or on).	(See GEAR POSITION INDICATION DOES NOT ILLUMINATE IN M POSITION [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-EL].)
Gear position indication illuminates in P, R, N and D positions	•  Gear position indication in instrument cluster illuminates in P, R, N and D positions with the ignition switched ON (engine off or on).	(See GEAR POSITION INDICATION ILLUMINATES IN P, R, N AND D POSITIONS [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-EL].)
Manual shift mode indication does not illuminate in M position/Manual shift mode indication illuminates in D position	•  The Manual shift mode indication does not illuminate in M position. •  The shift position indication displays M in a position (P, R, N, or D position) other than M.	(See MANUAL SHIFT MODE INDICATION DOES NOT ILLUMINATE IN M POSITION/MANUAL SHIFT MODE INDICATION ILLUMINATES IN D POSITION [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-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 [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-EL].)
