Sports mode provide similar shift feeling with Manual Transmission to Driver when select Sports mode. And also Driver can shift as Driver's intention in sports mode that uses "+" or "-"
TCM set this code If detected abnormal operation in Sports mode.(MIL OFF)
Item | Detecting Condition | Possible Cause |
DTC Strategy | ● Check function | ● Wiring ● Inhibitor s/w ● Mechatronics(E-module + Valvebody) |
Enable Conditions | ● Inhibitor switch : normal ● Range switch : normal ● Range position : "D" | |
Threshold Value | ● Detceted position change in not Sports mode ● Detceted "+, -" signal out of Sports mode | |
Diagnostic Time | ● 1.06second | |
Fail Safe | ● Normal driving in "D range" (priority : 2) |
The function with the higher priority will aiways take precedence. However, a low-priority is not overruled by a higher priority function.
Functions from different priority categories can also run in parallel. It is important to note which function will take precedence in this case.
In such an event it is possible for a substitute function with low priority not be carried out if a second, higher-priority function is present. This has been taken into account when compiling the priority list and is international.
The mechanical emergency run function must always have the highest priority, since from the electrical standpoint it is the only safe condition.
Connect scan tool to data link connector(DLC), Ignition "ON"
Erase DTC and Engine "ON"
Monitor the "Sports mode, Sports mode up-s/w, Sports mode down-s/w" parameter on the scan tool.
Select "D" range and Drive vehicle, confirm output data.

Is "Sports mode" operation normally ?
![]() | ▶ Fault is intermittent caused by poor contact in the sensor's and/or PCM/TCM's connector or was repaired and PCM/TCM memory was not cleared. Throughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration or damage.Repair or replace as necessary and go to "verification of vehicle repair" procedure |
![]() | ▶ Go to "Wiring circuit Inspection" procedure |
Ignition "OFF".
Disconnect "Sports mode s/w" connector.
Ignition "ON" & Engine "OFF'.
Measure the voltage between wiring side of "Sport mode select s/w, Sport mode up s/w, Sport mode down s/w" and chassis ground.
Specification : Approx. 12V
Is "Measured voltage" within specification ?

![]() | ▶ Check for open or short in harness. Repair as necessary and Go to "Verification Vehicle Repair" procedure |
Ignition "OFF".
Connect "Sports mode s/w" connector.
Ignition "ON" & Engine "OFF'.
Measure the voltage between wiring side of "Sport mode select s/w, Sport mode up s/w, Sport mode down s/w" and chassis ground.
Confirm voltage change when select "+, -" .
Specification : 12V(Before select) -> 0V(After select)
Is "Measured voltage" within specification ?
![]() | ▶ Fault is intermittent caused by poor contact in the sensor's and/or PCM/TCM's connector or was repaired and PCM/TCM memory was not cleared.

![]() | ▶ Check for open or short in harness. Repair as necessary "Inhibitor switch" and Go to "Verification Vehicle Repair" procedure |
After a repair, it is essential to verify that the fault has been corrected.
Connect scantool and select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes(DTCs)" mode.
Using a scan tool, Clear DTC.
Operate the vehicle within DTC Enable conditions in General information.
Are any DTCs present ?
