fastnfurious Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 as posted in this forum earlier, here's the update... problems: - both "L" and "2" lights stay ON when gear in "L" or "2" position, sometime when shifting through the gears. - "MANU" light stays ON all the time but goes OFF at times. what i've done so far: - checked ATF condition and still reddish in color. - DIY error code diagnosis using paperclip trick, both O/D and CEL flashing constantly which means normal/no error code stored. - removed the MANU switch connector (located under the gear-shift compartment) and turned the ignition to ON but "MANU" light still stays ON. - took it out for a short drive and run through all the gears, it seems ok despite all those weird lights still showing on the dash panel. out of curiosity, could it be: - Neutral Starter Switch problem? - gearbox speed sensor(s) problem? *** it has 2 sensors *** - gearbox solenoid sensor(s) problem? *** it has 2 sensors *** - gearbox temperature sensor problem? so, what could have gone wrong? i'm scared to drive fast now as i got worried the gear may suddenly change to "R" during high-speed cruise in "D" mode - this can severely damage the gearbox otherwise causing death!!! hope to hear from you guys soon, thanks a million!

Supra Gaz Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 That is really odd. I doubt it will flip into R whilst you give it the beans, I hope someone who knows more about gearboxes comes to help! Audio, interior, locks and machine polishing I'm fine, gearboxes, uh no.

Chris Wilson Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 At a guess it could be a bad ground on the selector lights circuit. if the box works normally it's probably something pretty trivial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 You need to get an auto electrician to look at it, far too much to try and give details on all possibilities, sorry. I was just giving an opinion as to what it may be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
