Manual Shift Test

NOTE: Perform manual shift test if no trouble codes exist. Manual shift test determines if problem area is in electrical circuits or a mechanical transmission problem.
  1. With ignition off, disconnect transmission solenoid connector. See Fig 1. Road test vehicle and ensure transmission gear changes correspond with the gearshift lever position. See GEAR APPLICATION  table.
  2. If abnormality exists, a mechanical transmission problem exists. Turn ignition off. Reconnect electrical connector. Clear trouble codes from ECM memory, as disconnecting electrical connector may set a trouble code. See CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
