are met, and the TCM torque
converter clutch solenoid valve
current monitor reading is 200
mA or less continuously for 0.5
seconds or more. - Diagnosis condition - Solenoid valve output current: 750 mA or more - TCM power supply voltage: 10 V < TCM power supply voltage < 16 V |
- Harness or connector
(Torque converter clutch solenoid
valve circuit is open or
shorted to power supply.) - Torque converter clutch solenoid valve |
DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Be careful of the driving speed.
1.PREPARATION BEFORE WORK
If another "DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE" occurs just before, turn ignition switch OFF and wait for at least 10 seconds, then perform the next test.
>> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK DTC DETECTION
Selector lever : D position
Vehicle speed : 45 km/h (28 MPH) or more
3. Stop the vehicle.
4. Check the first trip DTC.
Is "P0740" detected?
YES >> Go to TM, "Diagnosis Procedure".
NO >> INSPECTION END
Diagnosis Procedure
1.CHECK CIRCUIT BETWEEN TCM AND THE A/T UNIT
Is the check result normal?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Repair or replace the malfunctioning parts.
2.CHECK TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID VALVE
Check the torque converter clutch solenoid valve. Refer to TM, "Component Inspection (Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Valve)".
Is the check result normal?
YES >> Check intermittent incident. Refer to GI, "Intermittent Incident".
NO >> Repair or replace the malfunctioning parts.
Component Inspection (Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Valve)
1.CHECK TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID VALVE
Check the resistance between the A/T unit connector terminal and ground.
Is the check result normal?
YES >> INSPECTION END
NO >> There is a malfunction of the torque converter clutch solenoid valve. Replace the transaxle assembly. Refer to TM, "Removal and Installation".
