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 DIG in both the "Engine" and "Automatic Transaxle" menus:
^
If DIG are found, refer to TSB 05-40-008 or 04-40-020 for repair guidance.
^
If no DIG 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:
