If the vehicle does not move backward when the selector lever is shifted to R range while
the engine is idling, the cause is probably abnormal pressure of the reverse clutch and low-reverse
brake or a malfunction of the reverse clutch, low-reverse brake, or valve body.
PROBABLE CAUSES
Abnormal reverse clutch pressure
Abnormal low-reverse brake pressure
Malfunction of low-reverse solenoid valve
Malfunction of the reverse clutch
Malfunction of low-reverse brake
Malfunction of valve body
Malfunction of the A/T-ECU
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
STEP 1. M.U.T.-III actuator test
Item 01: Low-reverse solenoid valve
OK: Operating sound can be heard.
Q.
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 2.
Replace the low-reverse solenoid valve.
STEP 2. Hydraulic pressure test
Measure the hydraulic pressure for reverse clutch and low-reverse brake when the selector
lever is at the R range.
OK: Refer to .
Q.
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 5.
Go to Step 3.
STEP 3. A/T-ECU replacement
(1)Replace the A/T-ECU.
(2)Test drive the vehicle.
(3)Verify that the condition described by the customer exists.
Q.
Does a malfunction take place again?
Go to Step 4.
The inspection is complete.
STEP 4. Valve body disassembly clean and assembly
(1)Check the bolts for looseness and the O-ring, solenoid valve and valve body for
damage. Replace the valve body assembly if the damages are thought to be irreparable.
(2)Test drive the vehicle.
(3)Verify that the condition described by the customer exists.
Q.
Does a malfunction take place again?
Go to Step 5.
The inspection is complete.
STEP 5. Reverse clutch and low-reverse brake check
Check the facing for seizure and the piston seal ring for damage and interference with
the retainer.
Q.
Is the check result normal?
The inspection is complete.
