DOES NOT SHIFT TO 5GR OR 6GR (GW6A-EL, GW6AX-EL) DESCRIPTION AND POSSIBLE CAUSE

TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM Does not shift to 5GR or 6GR
DESCRIPTION
  • Vehicle does not upshift from 4GR to 5GR or 5GR to 6GR even though vehicle speed is increased.
  • At a vehicle speed range where the transaxle should shift up to 5GR and 6GR gears in D position based on the shift pattern, the transaxle does not shift to 5GR and 6GR gears by gradually releasing the accelerator pedal.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
  1. Signal malfunction
    • APP sensor malfunction
    • BARO sensor malfunction
    • CKP sensor malfunction
    • ECT sensor No. 1 malfunction
    • IAT sensor No. 1 malfunction
      • MAF sensor malfunction
  2. Low-G (XY) sensor (built into SAS control module) malfunction
NOTE:
  • When driving on high-altitude roads, the TCM determines that the driving mode is the AAS mode, and may change to a different shift timing from the normal timing.
  • When SPORT mode is selected, a gear lower than NORMAL mode is selected, and the gear is maintained for a longer period of time.
    • If the engine coolant temperature is low, a gear lower than when in normal mode is selected.
