RJ-1268-0

Submitted by administrator on Wed, 03/04/2015 - 00:55

There is a glitch in the computer program in the ECU, which controls the gear change of the mechanical type automatic transmission. When the driver stops the vehicle without pressing the clutch pedal after driving in the 'D' range, the clutch is disengaged automatically, so it may occur that the vehicle starts to creep if it is stopped on a down hill without the brake applied. The ECU could mistakenly recognise such a condition as a normal driving mode, in which case it will engage the clutch, allowing the vehicle to take off.

Case Number:

Correction: 
The ECU should be replaced with the factory approved replacement unit. Incidentally, it will take time to supply all the factory approved replacement units, and therefore, as a temporary measure, the placard should be placed on the gear shift lever to caution the driver about the above risk in stopping the vehicle.
Identification: 
sticker ('HD-15' is written) near the striker on the rear door pillar on the passenger's side, blue one for the temporary measure and white/yellow one for the permanent factory approved replacement
