Fault

Possible causes

Diagnostic procedure

Engine cannot be started.

Selector lever not in position P or N Transmission range sensor incorrectly adjusted Valve body defective

Adjust transmission range sensor Change the transmission

Car cannot be driven in selector lever positions D, 3, 2, 1 or else slippage or jerkiness occurs.

Fluid level in transmission too low Filter mesh in fluid pump inlet clogged Fluid pump blocked Loss of fluid in clutch C1 or in fluid system Loss of fluid in fluid system for brake B4 Freewheel F2 defective Freewheel F3 defective Loss of fluid in multiplate brake B3 or in fluid system Valve housing defective Torque converter blocked

Adjust fluid level in transmission Change the transmission

Car cannot be driven in selector lever position R.

Fluid level in transmission too low Filter mesh in oil pump inlet clogged Fluid pump blocked Shift solenoid 1-2/3-4 (S1) or shift valve in valve body blocked Loss of fluid in plate clutch C2 or in fluid system Loss of fluid in multiplate brake B3 or in fluid system Loss of fluid in fluid system for brake band B4 Loss of fluid in plate clutch C3 or in fluid system Torque converter blocked Valve body defective

Adjust fluid level in transmission Change the transmission
