DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area MIL Memory Note
P074015 Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Short to Battery or Open While the vehicle is being driven so that lock-up is requested, a short to +B or open is detected in the solenoid (SL) valve circuit (2-trip detection logic).

  • Solenoid (SL) valve

  • Transmission wire

  • Harness and connector

  • ECM

 Comes on DTC stored

SAE Code:

P2770

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

Based on the signals from the throttle position sensor, the air flow meter and the crankshaft position sensor, the ECM sends a signal to solenoid (SL) valve to regulate the hydraulic pressure and provide smoother torque converter engagement. Solenoid (SL) valve responds to commands from the ECM. The valve controls the lock-up relay valve to perform the torque-converter lock-up function. If the ECM detects an open or short to +B in the solenoid (SL) valve circuit, it will illuminate the MIL and store the DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

CAUTION:

When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

Tech Tips

After repairs have been completed, clear the DTCs and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.


  1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

  2. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.

  3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).

  4. Turn the engine switch off and wait for 2 minutes or more.

  5. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.

  6. Start the engine.

  7. Perform the Lock-up Function inspection in Road Test.

  8. Stop the vehicle.

  9. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Utility / All Readiness.

  10. Input the DTC: P074015.

  11. Check the DTC judgment result.

    GTS Display Description
    NORMAL

    • DTC judgment completed

    • System normal
    ABNORMAL

    • DTC judgment completed

    • System abnormal
    INCOMPLETE

    • DTC judgment not completed

    • Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
    N/A

    • Unable to perform DTC judgment

    • Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit

    Tech Tips


    • If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.

    • If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.

    • If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform the Confirmation Driving Pattern and check the DTC judgment result again.

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT TRANSMISSION WIRE (SOLENOID (SL) VALVE)


    1. B006Z4FC06
      *a

      Component without harness connected

      (Transmission Wire)

      Disconnect the C93 transmission wire connector.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      13 (S1) - Body ground 20°C (68°F) 11 to 15 Ω
      13 (S1) - Other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher

    3. Connect the C93 transmission wire connector.

  4. INSPECT SOLENOID (SL) VALVE


    1. B006XCIC02
      *1 Solenoid (SL) Valve

      Remove the solenoid (SL) valve.

      Click here

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      Solenoid (SL) valve connector terminal - Solenoid (SL) valve body 20°C (68°F) 11 to 15 Ω

    3. Connect a positive (+) lead from the battery to the terminal of the solenoid valve connector, and a negative (-) lead to the solenoid body. Check that the valve moves and makes an operating sound.

      OK
      Valve moves and makes an operating sound.
