MULTI-MODE MANUAL TRANSAXLE SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0919

DTC Code DTC Name
P0919 Gear Shift Position Control Error

DESCRIPTION

In the multi-mode manual transmission system, the transmission gear is shifted up and down by the transmission control ECU using a shift and select actuator. The shift and select actuator assembly consists of two motors (shift motor and select motor), stroke sensors (shift stroke sensor and select stroke sensor) and gears to move the shift and select lever shaft. The shift motor moves the shift and select lever shaft to the shift direction according to the signal from the transmission control ECU.

This DTC is set in accordance with the stroke speed of the shift and select actuator or the difference between the target shift position and the actual shift position. Therefore, if malfunctions occur in the shift stroke sensor or the shift motor circuit, the DTCs relating to the sensor or motor circuit open/short (DTC P0915, P0916, P0917 and/or P0920) are set before this DTC is set.

DTC No. DTC Detection Conditions Trouble Areas

The transmission control ECU detects the following conditions simultaneously:

(1 trip detection logic)


  1. Shift motor current is 32A or more, -32A or less for 2.0 seconds

  2. Difference between target shift position and actual shift position is 0.3 mm (0.0118 in.) or more

  3. Shift and select actuator movement is 122 mm/sec (4.8 in./sec) or less

  • Shift stroke sensor

  • Shift and select actuator assembly (shift motor)

  • Transmission control ECU

  • Transmission assembly

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note


  • In clutch actuator assembly replacement, perform Clamp Position Adjustment before removing the actuator.

  • In shift stroke sensor or shift and select actuator assembly replacement, perform the [Initialization and Learning] procedure Click here and [Synchronization Position Calibration] procedure Click here after installing the sensor or actuator assembly. If the sensor or actuator is installed without performing [Initialization and Learning] and [Synchronization Position Calibration], it may cause driving performance degradation or system component breakage.

Tech Tips

If the symptom still occurs even after checking the following parts for dirt, wear, and defects and replacing the defective parts, replace the transmission control ECU.


  • Synchronizer Rings

  • Shift Forks

  • Hub Sleeves

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK OTHER DTC OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0919)


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester ON.

    3. Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Multi-Mode M/T / DTC.
