AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM(for 1KD-FTV), Diagnostic DTC:P0973, P0974

DTC Code DTC Name
P0973 Shift Solenoid "A" Control Circuit Low (Shift Solenoid Valve S1)
P0974 Shift Solenoid "A" Control Circuit High (Shift Solenoid Valve S1)

DESCRIPTION

Shifting from 1st to 5th is performed in combination with the ON and OFF operation of shift solenoid valves SL1, SL2, S1, S2 and SR, which are controlled by the TCM. If an open or short circuit occurs in one of the shift solenoid valves, the TCM controls the remaining normal shift solenoid valves to allow the vehicle to be operated smoothly. In the case of an open or short circuit, the TCM stops sending current to the circuit. For details, refer to the fail-safe chart Click here.

DTC Code DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
P0973 TCM detects a short in the solenoid valve S1 circuit 2 times when solenoid valve S1 is operated (1-trip detection logic).

  • Short in shift solenoid valve S1 circuit

  • Shift solenoid valve S1

  • TCM
P0974 TCM detects an open in the solenoid valve S1 circuit 2 times when solenoid valve S1 is not operated (1-trip detection logic).

  • Open in shift solenoid valve S1 circuit

  • Shift solenoid valve S1

  • TCM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

These DTCs indicate an open or short in the shift solenoid valve S1 circuit. When there is an open or short circuit in any shift solenoid valve circuit, the TCM detects the problem, illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC. When shift solenoid valve S1 is on, if its resistance is 8 Ω or less, the TCM determines there is a short in the shift solenoid valve S1 circuit.

When shift solenoid valve S1 is off, if its resistance is 100 kΩ or higher, the TCM determines there is an open in the shift solenoid valve S1 circuit Click here.

      *a

      Component without harness connected

      (Shift Solenoid Valve S1)

      Remove shift solenoid valve S1.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      Shift solenoid valve S1 connector terminal - Shift solenoid valve S1 body 20°C (68°F) 11 to 15 Ω

    3. Apply 12 V battery voltage to the shift solenoid valve and check that the valve moves and makes an operating noise.

      OK
      Measurement Condition Specified Condition
