WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE: Record all freeze data and review General Troubleshooting Information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ) before you troubleshoot.
  1. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on).

    Does the strainer contain metal debris or excessive clutch material? 

    1. YES-  Replace the transmission.
    2. NO-  Replace the ATF (see see step  4 ), then go to step 4.
  4. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
