AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P27137F

DTC Code DTC Name
P27137F Pressure Control Solenoid "D" Actuator Stuck Off

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The shift solenoid valve SLT controls the transmission line pressure for smooth transmission operation based on signals from the throttle position sensor and vehicle speed sensor. The ECM adjusts the current to the shift solenoid valve SLT to control hydraulic line pressure coming from the primary regulator valve. Appropriate line pressure assures smooth shifting with varying engine outputs.

P27137F

1. Diagnosis Condition 2. Malfunction Status 3. Malfunction Time 4. Other


  1. ATF temperature is -10°C (14°F) or more, and the vehicle is being driven with the shift lever in D (no malfunctions are detected in the shift solenoid valves (SL1, SL2, SL3, SL4 and SLT), transmission revolution sensor (NT, NC), coolant temperature sensor, oil temperature sensor, knock control sensor, electronic throttle, or CAN2)

  2. The difference in speed between the input speed sensor NT and output speed sensor NC is higher than the normal condition in each shift position.

  3. 2 seconds

  4. 2-trip detection logic

  • Shift solenoid valve SLT remains open

  • Shift solenoid valve SL1, SL2, SL3 or SL4 remains open or closed

  • Transmission valve body assembly is blocked

  • Automatic transaxle assembly (clutch, brake, gear, etc.)

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM calculates the amount of clutch slip based on the turbine speed, output shaft speed, and gear ratio. If the amount of clutch slip exceeds a specified level, the ECM will illuminate the MIL and store this DTC.

If the shift solenoid valve SLT is stuck on, the line pressure and clutch engagement force will decrease.

Note

If driving continues under these conditions, clutches will burn out and the vehicle will no longer be drivable.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note

Perform registration and/or initialization when parts related to the automatic transaxle are replaced Click here.

Tech Tips

After performing repair, clear the DTCs and perform the following procedure to check that DTCs are not output.


  1. Perform the D Position Shift Test inspection in Road Test Click here.

  2. Turn the engine switch off.

  3. Perform step (1) again.

  4. Check for DTCs again Click here.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P27137F)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Trouble Codes.

    5. Read the DTCs using the GTS.

  2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (ACTIVATE THE SOLENOID (SLT))

    Note


    • Perform this test with the ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) at the normal operating temperature: 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F)

    • Be careful to prevent the SST hose from contacting the exhaust pipe.

    • This test must be performed after checking and adjusting the engine.

    • Perform the test with the air conditioning off.

    Tech Tips

    Using the GTS to perform Active Tests allows relays, VSVs, actuators and other items to be operated without removing any parts. This non-intrusive functional inspection can be very useful because intermittent operation may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Performing Active Tests early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time. Data List information can be displayed while performing Active Tests.


    1. Turn the engine switch off.

    2. Lift the vehicle.

    3. B000KD9E01

      Remove the test plug on the front left side of the transaxle case and install SST.

      SST
      09992-00095   ( 09992-00231, 09992-00271 )

    4. Lower the vehicle.

    5. Fully apply the parking brake and chock all 4 wheels.

    6. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    7. Start the engine.

    8. Warm up the ATF.

    9. Measure the line pressure when the engine is idling.

    10. Turn the GTS on.

    11. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Active Test / Activate the Solenoid (SLT).

    12. Perform the Active Test according to the display on the GTS.

    13. Measure the line pressure with SST.

      ON/OFF

      Tech Tips


      • ON: No action (normal operation)

      • OFF: Line pressure increases (When Active Test "Activate the Solenoid (SLT)" is performed, the ECM commands the shift solenoid valve SLT to turn off).

      [Vehicle Condition]


      • Vehicle Stopped

      • IDL: ON

      Tech Tips


      • Performing the Active Test "Activate the Solenoid (SLT)" allows the change in line pressure to be checked with SST installed to the automatic transaxle. The same SST is used for the Hydraulic Test Click here.

      • The pressure values measured performing this Active Test and the Hydraulic Test are different from each other.

      OK
      The line pressure changes as specified when performing the Active Test.

  3. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (CONTROL THE SHIFT POSITION))

    Note

    This test should always be performed with at least 2 people.


    1. Warm up the engine.

    2. Turn the engine switch off.

    3. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    4. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    5. Turn the GTS on.

    6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Active Test / Control the Shift Position.

    7. Perform the Active Test according to the display on the GTS.

      Tech Tips

      Comparing the gear commanded by the Active Test with the actual gear enables confirmation of the problem Click here.

      Control the Shift Position Operates the shift solenoid valves to allow gears to be selected manually

      • Press "→" button: Upshift occurs

      • Press "←" button: Downshift occurs

      Can be used to check the operation of the shift solenoid valves.

      Upshifts and downshifts should be performed consecutively. A 10-second interval is required between gear changes.

      Do not downshift at high speeds. Doing so will damage the automatic transaxle.

      [Vehicle Condition]

      50 km/h (31 mph) or less

      Note


      • This Active Test can be performed when the vehicle is stopped.

      • When shifting gears using the Active Test, do not operate the accelerator pedal for 2 seconds before and after shifting gears.

      Tech Tips

      The gear commanded by the ECM is shown in the Data List / Shift Status display on the GTS.

    8. Check the vehicle speed and gear when the engine speed is 1000 rpm.

      Tech Tips

      As the torque converter clutch has not engaged, it may be difficult to obtain the speeds specified for 4th, 5th, and 6th gear, however a difference of speed should still be evident following each gear change.

      Standard

      8 to 12 km/h

      (5 to 7 mph)

      (27 to 30 mph)

      52 to 56 km/h

      (32 to 35 mph)

    9. Compare the ECM commanded gear and the actual gear.

      Tech Tips


      • *1: Neutral

      • *2: If the shift solenoid valve SLT is stuck on, the line pressure will be low. Therefore, the amount of torque that can be transmitted by each gear will be lower than the normal limit. When the engine power exceeds this limit, the engine speed will increase freely.

      • *3: When the shift solenoid valve SLT is stuck off, gear shifting will be normal.
