Diagnostic Strategy: Notes
NOTE:
Do not take shortcuts or assume that critical checks or adjustments have already been made.
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.
Follow the procedures as written to avoid missing critical components or steps.
To correctly diagnose a concern, have the following publications available:
- Transaxle Reference Information
- Introduction - Gasoline Engines article
- 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.
