No.30 Does Not Downshift In M Position: Notes

30

Does not downshift in M position

DESCRIPTION

Shift position indicator light in instrument cluster illuminates but vehicle does not downshift when selector lever is pushed to "-" side.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

Down switch (built-in selector lever component) or related wiring harness malfunction

NOTE:

Before following the troubleshooting steps, make sure that the Automatic Transaxle On-Board Diagnostic and Automatic Transaxle Basic Inspection are conducted. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DTC INSPECTION -- AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE .) (See BASIC INSPECTION .)
The TCM inhibits shift down and flashes the shift position indicator when the set speed for the shift down of each gear is exceeded to prevent excess engine speed.
