Yaris 1.5L 4 cyl
- Automatic transmission
- 2,600 miles
When the engine is cold, and I start driving, the transmission will not shift into overdrive, it just screams in third, which is embarrassing considering everyone around my neighborhood thinks I'm driving a stick and I dont' know how. HA! Anyway, I was told this is normal for the car and I'm sure it is, but it's very annoying. Also, if your just kind of floating the gas pedal when maintaining about 30 mph, it will sporadicly shift up and down between overdrive and third, as if it can't decide which gear to go in. I believe that this is just the shifting point and I'm riding right on that line, but it also is very annoying. Again, this problem probably won't cause any mechanical problems in the future, but if your looking to buy a Yaris just know that it has it's many quirks.

Yaris 1.5L
Toyota Yaris transmission not shifting from 3rd when oil is cold, see the yellow light on the left side of the board. The Motor can run up to 4500 RPM in winter and the transmission will hardly shift or simply not. I have never driven this way. Other cars are lining up behind me, this is very embarrassing. We purchased this car last summer. Our dealer told us this is normal. In fact this is not as you can see.
I am looking for a solution....like bypassing a probe or to add a jumper somewhere.
Any idea?
