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

INSPECTION

ACTION

1

  • Does the shift shock occur only when the engine is cold?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Go to Step 3.

2

  • Inspect the TFT sensor and related wiring harness (vibration, intermittent open/short circuit).

    (See TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE (TFT) SENSOR INSPECTION [SJ6A-EL].)

  • Is it normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

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

3

  • Perform the initial learning procedure.

    (See INITIAL LEARNING PROCEDURE [SJ6A-EL].)

  • Does the symptom eliminate?

Yes

Symptom troubleshooting is completed.

No

Go to the next step.

4

  • Is the line pressure normal?

    (See MECHANICAL SYSTEM TEST [SJ6A-EL].)

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

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

5

  • Is the stall speed normal?

    (See MECHANICAL SYSTEM TEST [SJ6A-EL].)

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

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

6

  • Access the following PCM PIDs using the M-MDS:

    (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [PCM (SKYACTIV-G 2.0)].)

    • RPM

    • APP

    • TP_REL

    • BOO

    • ECT

  • Are the PIDs value normal?

    (See PCM INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0].)

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.

  • If a large amount of metal specks are found, overhaul the transmission and repair or replace any malfunctioning parts.

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

    (See Automatic Transmission Workshop Manual [SJ6A-EL].)

  • If a large amount of metal specks are not found, replace the control valve body.

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

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

No

  • Replace the control valve body.

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

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

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.

      • If the vehicle is repaired, troubleshooting completed.

      • If the vehicle is not repaired or additional diagnostic information is not available, replace the TCM. (See TCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SJ6A-EL].)
