AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P079513

DTC Code DTC Name
P079513 Pressure Control Solenoid "C" Circuit Open

DESCRIPTION

Changing from 1st to 6th gear is performed by the ECM turning solenoid (SL1, SL2, SL3, SL4 and SL) valves on and off. If an open or short occurs in any of the solenoid valve circuits, the ECM controls the remaining normal solenoid valves to allow the vehicle to be driven.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

This DTC indicates an open or short in the solenoid (SL3) valve circuit. The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the solenoid valves on or off. When there is an open or short in any of the solenoid valve circuits, the ECM detects the problem, illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC. The ECM also performs the fail-safe function and turns the other normal solenoid valves on or off. (In the case of an open or short, the ECM stops sending current to the circuit.)

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SOLENOID (SL3) VALVE CIRCUIT)


    1. Disconnect the D1 ECM connector.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      D1-7 (SL3+) - D1-6 (SL3-) 20°C (68°F) 5.0 to 5.6 Ω
      D1-7 (SL3+) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher
      D1-6 (SL3-) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher
      Result
      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    OK

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR - ECM)


    1. Disconnect the D57 wiring harness connector connector.

    2. Disconnect the D1 ECM connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      D57-19 (SL3+) - D1-7 (SL3+) Always Below 1 Ω
      D57-18 (SL3-) - D1-6 (SL3-) Always Below 1 Ω
      D57-19 (SL3+) or D1-7 (SL3+) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher
      D57-18 (SL3-) or D1-6 (SL3-) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher
      Result
      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    OK

  3. INSPECT TRANSMISSION WIRE (SOLENOID (SL3) VALVE)


    1. A01VTI7C05
      *a

      Component without harness connected

      (Transmission Wire)

      Remove the wiring harness connector.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A-16 (SL3+) - A-15 (SL3-) 20°C (68°F) 5.0 to 5.6 Ω
      A-16 (SL3+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A-15 (SL3-) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      Result
      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

  4. INSPECT SOLENOID (SL3) VALVE


    1. A01VVIWC15
      *1 Solenoid (SL3) Valve

      Remove the solenoid (SL3) valve.

      Click here

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      1 - 2 20°C (68°F) 5.0 to 5.6 Ω

    3. Connect a positive (+) lead with a 21 W bulb from the battery to terminal 1 and a negative (-) lead to terminal 2 of the solenoid valve connector. Check that the valve moves and makes an operating sound.

      OK
      Valve moves and makes an operating sound.
