AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P07407E

DTC Code DTC Name
P07407E Torque Converter Clutch Actuator Stuck On

DESCRIPTION

By turning the solenoid (SL) valve ON or OFF, the ECM controls the fluid pressure to the lock-up relay valve, turning the lock-up ON or OFF.

The vehicle is driven with the shift state in drive (D) and either condition is met (2-trip detection logic):


  • When the ECM commands lock-up ON, the difference between the turbine speed (NT) and the engine speed (NE) is 70 rpm or more for 2 seconds or more.

  • When the ECM commands lock-up ON and the ECM commands the transmission to shift to 7th to 10th, engine speed overruns (neutral condition) continuously for 0.5 seconds or more

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

Torque converter lock-up is controlled by the ECM based on the transmission revolution sensor (NT), engine speed, engine load, engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, transmission fluid temperature, and gear selection. The ECM determines the lock-up status of the torque converter by comparing the engine speed (NE) to the input turbine speed (NT). The ECM calculates the actual transmission gear by comparing the input turbine speed (NT) to the output shaft speed (SP2). When conditions are appropriate, the ECM requests "lock-up" by applying control voltage to the solenoid (SL) valve. When the solenoid (SL) valve is turned on, it applies pressure to the lock-up relay valve and locks the torque converter assembly.

If the ECM detects no lock-up after lock-up has been requested, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the solenoid (SL) valve, illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC.

Tech Tips

Example:

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

There is a difference in speed between the input side (engine speed) and output side (input turbine speed) of the torque converter when the ECM commands lock-up. (Engine speed is at least 70 rpm more than input turbine speed.)

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

Tech Tips

After repair has been completed, clear the DTC 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 at least 30 seconds.

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

  6. Perform the Lock-up Function in Road Test.

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

  8. Input the DTC: P07407E.

  9. 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.
