Vehicle does not move in D, M or R position

DESCRIPTION

• Vehicle does not move when accelerator pedal is depressed.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• If the vehicle does not move in D, M 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 position-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 ground malfunction

• Body ground 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

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, M, N, or R positions with the brake pedal released)?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Inspect for the parking mechanism.

2

• Start the engine.

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

Yes

Inspect the selector lever.

(See SELECTOR LEVER INSPECTION.)

No

Go to the next step.

3

• Stop the engine.

• Inspect the following solenoid:

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

• Shift solenoid A

• Shift solenoid B

• Shift solenoid C

• Shift solenoid E

• Shift solenoid G

• Line pressure control solenoid

• Are these normal?

Yes

Overhaul the transmission and repair or replace any malfunctioning parts (clutch slippage, worn).

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

(See Automatic Transmission Workshop Manual [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. (See TCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SJ6A-EL].)
