DESCRIPTION
In AutoStick mode, the gear selected by the driver is
not available due to a fault condition. See your autho-
rized dealer for diagnosis and service.
The gear position requested by the driver is currently
blocked. This occurs if NEUTRAL is requested while
moving, if REVERSE is requested while moving (at 6 mph
[10 km/h] or faster), if DRIVE is requested while moving
backwards (at 6 mph [10 km/h] or faster), or if 3rd gear
or higher is requested at a stop. Make sure the vehicle is
stopped before engaging DRIVE or REVERSE.
The transmission has shifted itself into NEUTRAL (due to
a fault condition, or overheat due to excessive idling when
stopped in DRIVE with the brakes released), but the shift
lever remains in gear. Shift into NEUTRAL and then back
into gear for continued driving. If the transmission will not
reengage, see your authorized dealer.
AutoStick mode is unavailable due to a shift lever fault.
See your authorized dealer for diagnosis and service.
The transmission is unable to shift itself automati-
cally, due to a fault condition. Use the AutoStick
mode to shift the transmission manually. See your
authorized dealer for diagnosis and service.
The transmission pump is overheating. In AutoStick
mode, try to drive in one specific gear as much as
possible, avoiding frequent gear changes. In DRIVE,
the transmission will automatically modify its shift
schedule to reduce the number of shifts.
The transmission driving clutch is overheating, usually
due to repeated launches in stop-and-go traffic. Pull
over and allow the transmission to cool in NEUTRAL
until "TRANS. COOL READY TO DRIVE" is displayed.
The transmission driving clutch has overheated.
Pull over, shift the transmission into PARK, and allow
the vehicle to cool until "TRANS. COOL READY
TO DRIVE" is displayed.
A transmission fault has been detected. See your
authorized dealer for diagnosis and service.
A shift lever fault has been detected. See your
authorized dealer for diagnosis and service.
The sensor that monitors PARK engagement is not
functioning properly. Engage the parking brake to en-
sure that the vehicle will not roll when in PARK.
