Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting

Limp Home Mode

Features a fail-safe function that prevents dangerous situations in the event of a transaxle failure. The vehicle will be driven in limp home mode if the transaxle malfunctions. In this mode, the transaxle operates at a minimal functionality level (fixed shifting, limited shifting, reverse, neutral), making it possible for the vehicle to reach a service center.

  

Limp Home Mode : Limited shifting

Mechanical limp home mode : Fixed shifting (failure of mechanical parts, solenoid valves, TCM)

Troubleshooting

Trouble symptom
Suspected area
Remedy
Shifting delay, Shifting shock, Poor acceleration
Damaged clutch / brake
Replace the brake or clutch.
Faulty hydraulic control
Inspect the solenoid valve.
Faulty hydraulic supply
Inspect the fluid level.
Inspect the fluid cleanliness 
Replace the oil pump.
TCM learning not performed
Perform the TCM adaptive value learning.
Mechanical limp home mode
locked into 3rd, manual shifting disabled)
Faulty Solenoid valve
Inspect the solenoid valve.
Replace the valve solenoid valve.
Faulty clutch / brake
Replace the brake or clutch.
Faulty inhibitor switch
Replace the inhibitor switch.
Faulty TCM
Replace the TCM.
Limp home mode
locked into 4th, manual shifting
(2nd -> 3rd, 3rd ->2nd enabled)
Faulty input & output speed sensor
Replace the input & output speed sensor.
Manual shifting disabled
Faulty TCM
Replace the TCM.
Faulty connector connection
Check the connection of manual mode connector.
Faulty manual mode switch
Replace the manual mode switch housing.
