Possible malfunctions of an automatic transmission

Fault

- possible causes of the malfunction

No connection with HI - SCAN

If there is no communication with the HI - SCAN, the electrical circuit may be faulty or the TCM is not functioning

  • - Damage to the electrical circuit
  • - Connector damage
  • - TCM corruption

Unable to start the engine

The engine cannot be started when the selector lever is in position N or P.

In such cases, the cause may be a malfunction of the engine control system, torque converter or oil pump.

  • - Damage to the engine management system
  • - Torque converter damage
  • - Oil pump damage

No forward movement

If there is no forward movement when the selector lever is moved from N to D, 3, 2 or L while the engine is idling, the cause may be an abnormal pressure in the pipeline or damage to the reduction gear or valve body.

  • - Abnormal pressure in the pipeline
  • - Downshift solenoid valve failure
  • - Downshift clutch failure
  • - Valve body damage

No reverse movement

If there is no reverse movement when the selector lever is moved from N to R while the engine is idling, the cause may be abnormal pressure in the reverse clutch, low and reverse brake, or valve body.

  • - Abnormal pressure in reverse clutch
  • - Abnormal low pressure in low and reverse brake
  • - Low and Reverse Clutch Damage
  • - Valve body damage

No forward or backward movement

If there is no forward or reverse movement when the selector lever is moved from N to any position while the engine is idling, the cause may be abnormal pressure in the pipeline, damage to the gearbox, oil pump or valve body.

Abnormal pressure in the pipeline

  • - Gearbox damage
  • - Oil pump damage
  • - Valve body damage

Stop the engine at the beginning of the movement

If the engine stops when the selector lever is moved from N to D or R while the engine is idling, the cause may be damage to the engine management system, clutch damper solenoid valve, valve body, or torque converter

  • - Damage to the engine management system
  • - Damage to the clutch damper solenoid valve
  • - Valve body damage
  • - Torque converter damage

Jerking or slow response when moving the selector lever from N to D

If there is a jerk or lag of more than 2 seconds when the selector lever is moved from N to D while the engine is idling, the cause may be damage to the downshift, downshift pressure or clutch, valve body, or position switch

  • - Abnormal downshift pressure
  • - Abnormal low pressure in low and reverse brake
  • - Downshift solenoid valve failure
  • - Valve body damage
  • - Position switch damage

Jerking or slow response when moving the selector lever from N to R

If there is a jerk or delay of more than 2 seconds when the selector lever is moved from N to R while the engine is idling, the cause may be abnormal reverse clutch pressure or back pressure in the brake system, reverse clutch, brake low gear and reverse gear, valve body or position switch

  • - Abnormal reverse clutch pressure
  • - Abnormal low pressure in low and reverse brake
  • - Low and reverse solenoid valve damage
  • - Reverse clutch damage
  • - Valve body damage
  • - Position switch damage

Jerking or slow response when moving the selector lever from N to D, N or R

If there is a jerk or a delay of more than 2 seconds when the selector lever is moved from N to D or from N to R while the engine is idling, the cause may be abnormal line pressure or damage to the oil pump or valve body.

Jerks and skips

If there is jerky movement while moving the selector lever and shifting into a higher gear than the engine speed, the cause may be abnormal pressure in the pipeline or damage to the solenoid valve, oil pump, valve body, brake or clutch.

  • - Abnormal pressure in the pipeline
  • - Damage to each solenoid valve
  • - Oil pump damage
  • - Valve body damage
  • - Damage to each brake or clutch

Move Position Changes

All positions

If all travel positions are displaced while driving, the cause may be damage to the output shaft speed sensor, TPS, or solenoid valve.

  • - Throttle sensor damage
  • - Damage to each solenoid valve
  • - Abnormal pressure in the pipeline
  • - Valve body damage

Some Provisions

If some movement positions are displaced during movement, the cause may be damage valve body

  • - Valve body damage
  • - Missing offset

No diagnostic codes

If there is no shift and no DTCs while driving, the cause may be damage to the transmission range switch or TCM

  • - Transmission Range Switch Damage
  • - Valve body damage

Crashes while driving

Weak acceleration

If the vehicle's acceleration is weak, even if forced downshifting occurs, the cause may be damage to the engine control system, brake or clutch.

  • - Damage to the engine management system
  • - Brake or clutch damage

Transmission range switch

Probably caused by damage to the electrical circuit of the interlock switch, ignition switch or TCM

- Ignition lock damage

Vehicle speed sensor

- The reason may be damage to the electrical circuit of the vehicle speed sensor or TCM
