Excessive shock or engine revs up abnormally high on all upshifts and downshifts
Probable cause(s)
A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A defective
A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve B defective
A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C defective
Input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor defective
Output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor defective
ATF temperature sensor defective
Low ATF level
ATF pump worn or binding
Main regulator valve stuck or spring worn
Foreign material in separator plate orifice
1st accumulator defective
ATF strainer clogged
Clearance between clutch end-plate and top disc incorrect
Notes
Inspect A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A with the HDS.
Inspect A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve B with the HDS.
Inspect A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C with the HDS.
Check the speed sensor installation.
Inspect the speed sensor O-ring for wear and damage.
Inspect the ATF temperature sensor O-ring for wear and damage.
Check the ATF level. If the level is below the lower level, check the ATF cooler lines for leaks and loose connections. If necessary, clean the ATF cooler lines.
Improper alignment of the ATF pump and the torque converter housing may cause ATF pump seizure. The symptoms are mostly an rpm-related ticking noise or a high pitched squeak.
Check the main regulator valve in the regulator valve body for free movement, and check the valve springs for wear and damage.
Check for a clogged orifice in the separator plate. If the orifice is clogged, remove it and clean the separator plate orifice.
Check the 1st accumulator piston, the O-ring, and the spring in the manual valve body for wear and damage.
Check the ATF strainer for debris. If the strainer is clogged, find the damaged components that caused the debris. If no cause for contamination is found, replace the torque converter.
