Diagnostic Strategy: Notes
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 short cuts 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 publications available:
- Transaxle Reference Manual
- See INTRODUCTION - GASOLINE article.
- Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs)
- Wiring Diagram
These publications provide the information required when diagnosing transaxle concerns.
Use the DIAGNOSTIC FLOW CHART as a guide and follow the steps as indicated.
