Poor Acceleration (CVT)

Poor acceleration

Intermediate housing assembly worn or damaged

Pulley pressure feed pipe damaged or out of round

CVTF pump worn, binding or foreign material in CVTF pump

CVTF strainer or CVTF filter clogged

Lower valve body assembly defective

CVT driven pulley pressure control solenoid valve defective

CVT drive pulley pressure control solenoid valve defective

Manual valve lines worn or damaged

Solenoid valves defective

Solenoid wire harness worn or damaged

CVT input shaft (drive pulley)and CVT output shaft (driven pulley) speed sensors defective

Vehicle speed sensor defective

PCM defective

Engine output low

IMA motor defective

Notes

Check for a stored DTC, and check for loose connectors.

Notes

Check the speed sensors installation, for wear and damage, and measure their resistance, and also check the O-rings for wear and damage.

Notes

Check the stall speed CVT Stall Speed Test (CVT).

Notes

Check the drive and driven pulley pressure, and lubrication pressure CVT Pressure Test (CVT). If the pressure is low or there is no pressure, check the CVTF pump assembly, the CVTF pump drive chain, the CVTF pump drive/driven sprocket, and the CVTF feed pipes.

Notes

Check the CVTF strainer and the CVTF filter for debris. If the CVTF strainer or the CVTF filter is clogged, find the damaged components that caused debris, and clean the CVTF cooler lines CVTF Cooler Cleaning (CVT) if necessary.

Notes

Inspect the solenoid wire harness for open and short.

Notes

Check the lower valve body assembly for scoring and damage.

Notes

Check the manual valve body assembly for scoring and damage. If the manual valve body assembly is worn or damaged, replace it as an assembly.

Notes

Check the intermediate housing assembly for wear and damage. If the drive pulley, the driven pulley, the pulley shafts, the steel belt, or related part are worn or damaged, replace the intermediate housing assembly.

Notes

Check for low fuel pressure Testing and Inspection.

Notes

Check for a restricted exhaust system
