Vehicle does not move in D range, or in R position

DESCRIPTION

• Vehicle does not move when accelerator pedal is depressed.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• If the vehicle does not move in D range or R position, basically, the malfunction is in the AT. (Vehicle will move even with a malfunction in the TCM.) Since a malfunction is in the sensor circuit or output circuit is the cause of the malfunction in the AT, inspect the sensors, output circuit, and the related wiring harnesses.

• Clutch slippage, worn (D range-C1 clutch, One-way clutch, R position-C3 clutch, B4 brake, One-way clutch)

• Line pressure low

• Shift solenoid A malfunction

• Shift solenoid B malfunction

• Shift solenoid C malfunction

• Shift solenoid E malfunction

• Line pressure control solenoid malfunction

• Shift solenoid G malfunction

• Sensor GND malfunction

• Body GND malfunction

• Control valve body malfunction

• Selector lever malfunction

• Parking mechanism not operating properly

• Torque converter malfunction

• TCM malfunction

• Foreign materials or water mixed in ATF

• Improper ATF amount

NOTE:

• Before following the troubleshooting steps, make sure that the Automatic Transmission On-Board Diagnostic and Automatic Transmission Basic Inspection are conducted. (See BASIC INSPECTION [SJ6A-EL].)

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1

• When the vehicle is stopped on a flat, level road and the engine off, does the vehicle move when pushed? (in D range or N, R positions with the brake pedal released)

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Inspect for parking mechanism.

2

• Start the engine.

• Does vehicle move when selector lever in between N position and D range?

Yes

Inspect or adjust selector lever.

(See SELECTOR LEVER INSPECTION.)

No

Go to the next step.

3

• Stop the engine.

• Inspect following solenoid.

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

• Shift solenoid C

• Shift solenoid D

• Shift solenoid E

• Shift solenoid F

• Line pressure control solenoid

• Are these normal?

Yes

Replace the AT (clutch slippage, worn)

(See AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SJ6A-EL].)

No

Inspect the coupler component.

If normal, replace the control valve body.

(See CONTROL VALVE BODY REMOVAL [SJ6A-EL].)

(See CONTROL VALVE BODY INSTALLATION [SJ6A-EL].)

4

• 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.

• If the vehicle is repaired, troubleshooting completed.

• If the vehicle is not repaired or additional diagnostic information is not available, replace the TCM.
