MONITOR DESCRIPTION

Torque converter lock-up is controlled by the TCM based on the transmission revolution sensor (NT), engine speed, engine load, engine temperature, vehicle speed, transmission fluid temperature, and gear selection. The TCM determines the lock-up status of the torque converter by comparing the engine speed (NE) to the input turbine rpm (NT). The TCM calculates the actual transmission gear by comparing the input turbine rpm (NT) to the counter gear rpm (NC). When conditions are appropriate, the TCM requests "lock-up" by applying control voltage to the shift solenoid valve SL. When the shift solenoid valve SL is turned on, it applies pressure to the lock-up relay valve and locks the torque converter assembly.

If the TCM detects no lock-up after lock-up has been requested, the TCM interprets this as a malfunction of the shift solenoid valve SL or SLU. The TCM will illuminate the MIL and store this DTC.

Tech Tips

Example:

When the following condition is met, the system judges it to be a malfunction.

There is a difference in rotation (speed) between the input side (engine speed) and output side (input turbine speed) of the torque converter when the TCM commands lock-up.

(Engine speed is at least 70 rpm greater than the input turbine speed.)

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note

Perform registration and/or initialization when parts related to the automatic transmission are replaced.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK DTC OUTPUT


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Trouble Codes.


      Powertrain > ECT > Trouble Codes

    5. Read the DTCs using the GTS.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      Only DTCs P0741 and P2757 are output A
      P0741, P2757 and other DTCs are output B

      Tech Tips

      If a solenoid related or oil pressure switch related DTC is output, troubleshoot that DTC first.
