Revs to 5,000 RPM's on acceleration

Hi,

When this happens, does the vehicle seem to be in neutral? If so, have you noticed if the gear indicator light is showing the correct position?

Also, is the check engine light staying on when the engine is running? Have you checked the transmission fluid to make sure it is clean and full?

Here are directions for checking level:

___________________

NOTE: In order to get an accurate fluid level reading, the vehicle should be on a level surface. Idle the engine to reach the normal operating temperature. Using the scan tool, verify that the transaxle is at normal operating temperature 60°C-70°C (140°F-158°F), prior to adjusting the transmission fluid level.

If fluid needs to be added, add fluid in 0.25L (1/2 pint) increments through the fluid fill plug located on the top of the transaxle near the fluid level indicator. Do not overfill the fluid. Install the fluid level indicator back in the fluid filler tube until it is fully seated, then remove the indicator. The fluid level should be at the upper most mark on the fluid level indicator. Only fill to the upper most mark on the fluid indicator. Do not overfill. Damage to the transaxle will occur.

11. NOTE: The correct transmission fluid at normal operating temperature of 60°C-70°C (140°F-158°F) is between the top 2 marks on the fluid level indicator.

Fill the transaxle to the correct fluid level.

12. NOTE: The correct transmission fluid level at cool operating temperature of 15°C-25°C (59°F-77°F), is at the bottom mark on the fluid level indicator.

If the transmission fluid temperature is low, fill the fluid to the cold range on the fluid level indicator. Recheck the fluid level when the transaxle has reached the normal operating temperature.

Next, if the fluid is clean and full, I recommend having the can bus system scanned. CAN stands for computer area network. All computers and modules are tied together via a few wires. By scanning the system, any and all trouble codes should appear. Here is a video showing how it's done:

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Hi,

Check it to make sure it is okay. Also, confirm the gear indicator is indicating the correct gear.

Let me know what you find.
