MODEL: ALL
DESCRIPTION:
If you are servicing a vehicle with no movement in drive or reverse gear follow the procedure shown below:
REPAIR PROCEDURE:
1. Check for DTC in both the "Engine" and "Automatic Transaxle" menus:
^ If DTC are found, refer to TSB 05-40-008 or 04-40-020 for repair guidance.
^ If no DTC are found, go to Step 2.
2. Remove the dipstick and check the ATF for a strong burnt smell. If the smell does not provide conclusive results, remove the oil pan and check for
metal particles in the pan:
^ If a strong burnt smell or metal particles are found, replace the transaxle
^ If not, go to Step 3
NOTE:
ATF that is a dark brown or black color does not indicate an internal transaxle concern; do not replace the transaxle. SPIII may change color to a dark
brown after 10,000 to 25,000 miles in service. This change is normal for this type of ATF.
VERIFY THE RANGE SWITCH ADJUSTMENT:
3. Move the shift lever to "N".
4. Insert a 5 mm drill or MS (5 mm) bolt in the adjustment hole of the range switch. Check that the drill or bolt fits into the adjustment holes.
^ If not, go to Step 5
^ If so, go to Step 9
