Diagnosis by Symptom Index - Directions

1. Using the Symptom Index, select the Concern/Symptom that best describes the condition.

2. Refer to the routine indicated in the Diagnosis by Symptom Index. Diagnosis by Symptom Index

3. Always begin diagnosis of a symptom with:

a. preliminary inspections.
b. verification of conditions.
c. checking the transmission fluid level.
d. carrying out other test procedures as directed.

4. NOTE: Not all concerns and conditions with electrical components will set a DTC. Be aware that the components listed may still be the cause.

NOTE: When the battery is disconnected or a new battery is installed, certain transmission operating parameters can be lost. The PCM must relearn these parameters. During this learning process, slightly firm shifts, delayed or early shifts may be experienced. This operation is considered normal and will not affect the function of the transmission. Normal operation will return once these parameters are stored by the PCM.

Begin with the ROUTINE, if indicated. Follow the reference or action statements. Always carry out the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) test as necessary. Never skip steps. Repair as necessary.

5. These components are listed in the removal sequence and by most probable cause. All components listed must be inspected to make sure that the repairs are complete.
