What to do if your Toyota Camry transmission is not working?
The problem likely is electrical in nature, so the first thing you should do is see if any trouble codes are stored in the Transmission Control Module (TCM). Here’s how to read the diagnostic trouble codes from your automatic transmission: Turn the ignition switch and overdrive switch to ON. Do not start the engine.
How to read the Diagnostic Code on a Toyota Camry?
Here’s how to read the diagnostic trouble codes from your automatic transmission: Turn the ignition switch and overdrive switch to ON. Do not start the engine. The diagnostic code can be read only when the overdrive switch is ON. If it’s OFF, the overdrive light will light continuously and will not blink, which is how you read the code.
What kind of transmission does a Toyota Camry have?
It has a 4-cylinder engine with automatic transmission and 285,000 miles. It has fuel injection, P/S and A/C. I’ve been having an intermittent problem with the transmission shifting. Most notably, sometimes when I pull out it shifts from low right into overdrive, and sometimes it won’t come out of overdrive on the highway.
How often does a Toyota Camry light blink?
If there’s a malfunction, the light will blink for 0.5 seconds every 1.0 seconds. The number of blinks will equal the first number of the two-digit diagnostic code and, after a 1.5 second pause, the number of blinks will equal the second number. If there are two or more codes, there will be a 2.5 second pause between each.
