NO.17 EXCESSIVE SHIFT SHOCK FROM N TO D OR N TO R POSITION [SJ6A-EL]

17

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

DESCRIPTION

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

POSSIBLE CAUSE

  • Shift shock may worsen when the fail-safe is operating. If no DTC is output, the shift shock may worsen due to poor operation of the control valve body or sticking of the clutch.

    • Clutch burnt (N→D: C1 clutch, N→R: C3 clutch or B4 brake)

      • ATF level low

      • Line pressure low

      • Incorrect accelerator pedal position signal

      • Incorrect engine speed signal

      • Incorrect engine coolant temperature signal

      • Incorrect brake switch signal

      • Incorrect engine torque signal

      • Incorrect turbine sensor signal (N→D)

      • TFT sensor malfunction

      • Sensor ground malfunction

      • Shift solenoid A malfunction

      • Shift solenoid F malfunction

      • Line pressure control solenoid malfunction

      • TCC control solenoid malfunction (N→R)

      • Control valve body malfunction

    • Poor hydraulic operation (Malfunction in position change)

    • Idle speed high

    • Poor tightening torque of engine mount, exhaust mount, suspension, propeller shaft

    • Line pressure high

    • Insufficient battery voltage

    • Harness or connector malfunction

    • AT malfunction

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

6

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results.

7

  • Stop the engine.

  • Inspect the following solenoids:

    (See SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTION [SJ6A-EL].)

    • Line pressure control solenoid

    • Shift solenoid A

    • Shift solenoid F

    • TCC control solenoid

  • Are these solenoids normal?

Yes

Inspect the ATF condition.

No

8

  • Verify test results.

    • If normal, return to the diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms.

    • If malfunction remains, inspect the related Service Bulletins and/or On-line Repair Information and perform repair or diagnosis.
