Symptom

Probable cause(s)

Notes

When you turn the ignition 
switch ON (II), the D indicator 
comes on and stays on in all 
shift lever positions, or it never 
comes on at all

F-CAN communication line 
error  

Gauge control module 
defective  

PCM defective  

Check the F-CAN 
communication line for a DTC 
(see DTC B1168: GAUGE 
CONTROL MODULE 
LOST COMMUNICATION 
WITH THE ECM/PCM 
(ENGINE MESSAGES); 
DTC B1169: GAUGE 
CONTROL MODULE 
LOST COMMUNICATION 
WITH THE PCM (A/T 
MESSAGE)
 .  

Check indicator drive circuit in 
the gauge control module by 
gauge control module self-
diagnostic function (see SELF-
DIAGNOSTIC 
FUNCTION
 ).  

A/T gear position indicator does 
not come on while the shift 
lever is in that position

F-CAN communication line 
error  

Gauge control module 
defective  

PCM defective  

Transmission range switch 
defective  

Check the F-CAN 
communication line for a DTC 
(see DTC B1168: GAUGE 
CONTROL MODULE 
LOST COMMUNICATION 
WITH THE ECM/PCM 
(ENGINE MESSAGES); 
DTC B1169: GAUGE 
CONTROL MODULE 
LOST COMMUNICATION 
WITH THE PCM (A/T

 .  

Check indicator drive circuit in 
the gauge control module by 
gauge control module self-
diagnostic function (see SELF-
DIAGNOSTIC 
FUNCTION
 ).  

Inspect the transmission range 
switch (see TRANSMISSION

RANGE SWITCH TEST ).  

Transmission still shifts into 4th 
or 5th gear in D even though 
the D3 switch is pushed

A problem in the D3 switch 
circuit

Troubleshoot the D3 switch circuit 
(see D3 SWITCH CIRCUIT 
TROUBLESHOOTING
 ).

Inspect the APP sensor signal 
(see APP SENSOR SIGNAL 
INSPECTION
 ).  

Troubleshoot the shift lock 
system circuit (see SHIFT 
LOCK SYSTEM CIRCUIT 
TROUBLESHOOTING
 ).  

Test the shift lock solenoid (see 
SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID 
TEST
 ).  

Inspect the transmission range 
switch (see TRANSMISSION 
RANGE SWITCH TEST
 ).  

Ignition switch cannot be 
moved from ACC (1) to LOCK 
(0) (key is pushed in, shift lever 
in P)

Interlock control system 
circuit  

Key interlock solenoid 
stuck ON  

Park pin switch stuck ON  

Transmission range switch  

Troubleshoot the key interlock 
system circuit (see KEY 
INTERLOCK SYSTEM 
CIRCUIT 
TROUBLESHOOTING
 ).  

Inspect the transmission range 
switch (see TRANSMISSION 
RANGE SWITCH TEST
 ).  

HDS does not communicate 
with the PCM or the vehicle

DLC circuit error

Troubleshoot the DLC circuit (see 
DLC CIRCUIT 
TROUBLESHOOTING
 ).

Engine runs, but vehicle does 
not move in any gear

1. Low ATF level  

2. Shift cable broken or out of 

adjustment  

3. Connection between the in 

shift cable and transmission 
or body is worn  

4. ATF pump worn or binding 

5. Regulator valve stuck or 

Check the ATF level, and 
check the ATF cooler lines for 
leakage and loose connections. 
If necessary, clean the ATF 
cooler lines.
