AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P2769, P2770

DTC Code DTC Name
P2769 Short in Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Circuit (Shift Solenoid Valve SL)
P2770 Open in Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Circuit (Shift Solenoid Valve SL)

DESCRIPTION

Shift solenoid valve SL is turned on and off by signals from the ECM to control the hydraulic pressure acting on the lock-up relay valve, which then controls operation of the lock-up clutch.

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
P2769 ECM detects a short in the shift solenoid valve SL circuit when the shift solenoid valve SL is operated (2 trip detection logic).

  • Short in shift solenoid valve SL circuit

  • Shift solenoid valve SL

  • Wiring Harness Connector

  • ECM
P2770 ECM detects an open in the shift solenoid valve SL circuit when the shift solenoid valve SL is not operated (2 trip detection logic).

  • Open in shift solenoid valve SL circuit

  • Shift solenoid valve SL

  • Wiring Harness Connector

  • ECM

Fail-safe function:

If the ECM detects a malfunction, it turns shift solenoid valve SL off.

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 shift solenoid valve SL to regulate the hydraulic pressure and provide smoother torque converter engagement. Shift solenoid valve SL 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 circuit for shift solenoid valve SL, it will illuminate the MIL.
