  • Delayed acceleration when accelerator pedal is depressed while driving.
POSSIBLE CAUSE 
  • If clutch is stuck or does not stay in 4GR, there is a malfunction in engine circuit.
    • Clutch slipped, burned
      • Line pressure low
      • Incorrect throttle position signal
      • Malfunction of VSS
      • Malfunction of input/turbine speed sensor
      • Malfunction of sensor ground
      • Malfunction of shift solenoids A, B, or C
