Help: 2009 Corolla Gear Issues by oNj(m): 8:57am On Dec 08, 2014
2009 Corolla automatic transmission

Was driving home last week when suddenly my car continued to rev up to higher rpms but withwithout any change in speed.
Parked and restarted the car and noticed that after the 2nd or 3rd gear the car wouldn't change gear but would keep revving up without change in speed.

Took it to my mechanic who suggested topping the ATF but I insisted on draining the old fluid and used a high - quality ATF to refill.

Unfortunately problem still remains.

The car has been with them since Friday last week and no solution yet, not sure the know what the problem is.

Car gurus please help; what could be the issue with the gear?

I have heard people said they service the gears. You may need to take it to Toyota themselves, ask them of what may be the likely problem and run afterwards to local mechanics to guide them if you cant afford the company charges.

Hey bro, i will strongly advice you scan the car but if need be, service the gear. Make sure the gear oil filter is removed and properly washed with fuel before replacement. Wish you luck.

Thanks for your suggestion. I guess they're servicing it now. Each time I call they say they're still working on it

Anyone knows what could possibly be the problem?
Let me know where to point the mechanics to.

More suggestions please

No solution yet;

Gurus' opinions highly needed.
Re: Help: 2009 Corolla Gear Issues by oNj(m): 7:19am On Dec 11, 2014
Looks like changing the gearbox is the only solution; any idea what the price is?

do not touch the gear just yet. Get the vehicle scanned with a top of the range scan software it should pull all the faults. i doubt the gearbox is the culprit.
Re: Help: 2009 Corolla Gear Issues by Tobiizzy(m): 8:27am On Dec 11, 2014
What kind of atf did you use?
Toyota corolla should use type IV made by toyota do a 3x drain and refill
Re: Help: 2009 Corolla Gear Issues by oNj(m): 3:52pm On Dec 12, 2014
Don't quite remember the name, but the mechanics said it's a top ATF from Toyota for Toyota.
Completely drained the old and cleaned the whatever-part-it-goes-into before refilling.

Yeah, already had it scanned.
Serviced the box based on the report.

Still didn't work.
Re: Help: 2009 Corolla Gear Issues by fanex: 4:50pm On Dec 12, 2014
you need a very sensitive scanner that that pick even the smallest of fault. the small hand held scanner wouldn't be of much help. that gear is build to last 200k miles.

do some research online, will find some brilliant things about that particular fault.
Re: Help: 2009 Corolla Gear Issues by oNj(m): 8:42pm On Dec 12, 2014
Thanks a lot for your concern.
Will keep you guys posted on the outcome.
We'll definitely learn one or two things from this gear stuff

I had that issue with my 2010 corolla. The best scanner to use is the Toyota TIS. The culprit in own was the brake actuator. I simply replaced it like for like. Then it threw up another code, soleonoid valve stuck. It's on the gearbox valve body. Your problem is simple. It's related o the gearbox valve body. Have that serviced. replace atf with Toyota WS. But u may need alldata repair manual to get how to check each of the valves. Google ' corolla transmission lock up'
Re: Help: 2009 Corolla Gear Issues by oseri(m): 9:26pm On Dec 12, 2014
Your car failed to enter lock up mode. That's putting it mildly
pls don't change the gearbox. It's one of the solenoid valve, line pressure sensor. I can't really remember the tech behind it rite now.
Re: Help: 2009 Corolla Gear Issues by Irwindickson(m): 9:40pm On Dec 12, 2014
Op; is the ABS light permanently on? Cuz I had such experience on my wife's yaris after changing brake pads, dunno what the mech did, gear was not changing correctly anymore... changing the hub sensors corrected the gear madness after 4 different Toyota repair workshops condemned the gearbox at 45k..

Or its the solenoid switch in the gearbox valve body. It may have been blocked with dirts, sludge due to untimely gearbox service.

Thanks man.
Is the mechanic that fixed yours in Abuja? Maybe he can help.
These guys have been battling with this stuff, and truth is I no longer trust their competence (at least in this area)

Yes the CHECK ABS has been flashing.
I'm not quite knowledgeable in this but the mechanics never suspected the ABS.
Re: Help: 2009 Corolla Gear Issues by Irwindickson(m): 11:02pm On Dec 13, 2014
Check the abs sensors on the hubs.
Re: Help: 2009 Corolla Gear Issues by oseri(m): 11:57am On Dec 24, 2014
it might even be the abs tone ring on the axle. check that there's no crack on the teeth

Please how did you solve this problem, i have a similar problem. You contact will be appreciated. thanks.
Re: Help: 2009 Corolla Gear Issues by uzolynx: 8:07am On Mar 30, 2018
I once had a similar experience. I would suggest a specialist helps you service all the shift selonoids . Then if it continues that means you would have to replace the Torque Converter for the gear box. Thanks

Sorry bro; the tranny was replaced then. At times the cost of rebuilding these parts higher than the cost of toks.

Be careful not to waste resources before going back to replacement
