NO.18 EXCESSIVE SHIFT SHOCK IS GIVEN WHEN UPSHIFTING AND DOWNSHIFTING [SJ6A-EL]

18

Excessive shift shock is given when upshifting and downshifting

DESCRIPTION

  • Excessive shift shock is felt when depressing the accelerator pedal at upshifting.

  • During cruising, excessive shift shock is felt when depressing the accelerator pedal at downshifting.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

  • Shift shock may worsen when the fail-safe is operating. The shift shock may worsen if the APP sensor or turbine sensor malfunctions.

    • Clutch slippage, burnt (C1 clutch, C2 clutch, C3 clutch, B1 brake, B2 brake, B3 brake, B4 brake)

      • ATF level low

      • Line pressure low, high

      • Incorrect accelerator pedal position signal

      • Turbine sensor malfunction

      • Shift solenoid A malfunction

      • Shift solenoid B malfunction

      • Shift solenoid C malfunction

      • Shift solenoid D malfunction

      • Shift solenoid E malfunction

      • Line pressure control solenoid malfunction

      • TCC control solenoid malfunction

      • Shift solenoid F malfunction

      • Shift solenoid G malfunction

      • Body ground and sensor ground malfunction

      • Control valve body malfunction

      • TCM malfunction

      • AT internal malfunction

      • TR switch malfunction

      • Harness and/or connector malfunction

      • Insufficient battery voltage

      • Loose parts installation (engine or transmission mounts, suspension, propeller shaft)

    • Poor hydraulic operation (Malfunction in position change)

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1

  • Inspect for continuity between the TCM terminal 1P, 1X and battery negative terminal.

  • Is there continuity?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Repair or replace the suspected wiring harness.

2

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

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

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 D

    • Shift solenoid E

    • Line pressure control solenoid malfunction

    • TCC control solenoid malfunction

    • Shift solenoid F

    • Shift solenoid G

  • Are these solenoids normal?

Yes

Inspect the ATF condition.

No

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].)
