Diagnostic Strategy

Diagnostic Strategy

Troubleshooting an electronically controlled automatic transaxle is simplified by using the proven method of diagnosis. One of the most important things to remember is that there is a definite procedure to follow.

NOTE: Do not take shortcuts or assume that critical checks or adjustments have already been made.

Follow the procedures as written to avoid missing critical components or steps.

To correctly diagnose a concern, have the following available:
^ Computers and Control Systems
^ Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs)
^ Wiring Diagram

These provide the information required when diagnosing transaxle concerns.

Use the Diagnostic Flow Chart as a guide and follow the steps as indicated.
