AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P2714

DTC Code DTC Name
P2714 Pressure Control Solenoid "D" Performance (Shift Solenoid Valve SLT)

DESCRIPTION

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 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.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area MIL Memory
P2714 Pressure Control Solenoid "D" Performance (Shift Solenoid Valve SLT) The ECM detects a malfunction in shift solenoid valve SLT (ON side) according to the difference in speed between the turbine and output shaft, and also by the ATF pressure (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 or gear, etc.)

 Comes on DTC stored

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM calculates the amount of heat absorbed by the friction material based on the difference in speed (clutch slippage) between the turbine and output shaft. The ECM turns on the MIL and stores this DTC when the amount of heat absorption exceeds the specified value.

When shift solenoid valve SLT remains on, the line pressure goes down and clutch engagement force decreases.

Note

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

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note

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

  2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SLT)

    Note


    • Perform the test while the ATF temperature is 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F).

    • Be careful to prevent the hose of SST from interfering with the exhaust pipe.

    • This check must be conducted after checking and confirming that the engine is normal.

    • Perform the test with the A/C 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.

      Remove the test plug from the transaxle case and connect SST.

    2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    3. Start the engine and warm it up.

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

    5. Turn the GTS on.

    6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test.

    7. According to the display on the GTS, perform the Active Test.

    8. Measure the line pressure with SST.

      ON or OFF

      Tech Tips

      ON: No action (normal operation)

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

      [Vehicle Condition]


      • Vehicle stopped

      • Engine idling

      Activate the Solenoid (SLT)

      Tech Tips

      Activate the Solenoid (SLT) in the Active Test is performed to confirm that the line pressure changes. The line pressure changes are confirmed using the same SST that is used for the Hydraulic Test.

      Note that the pressure readings for the Active Test and Hydraulic Test are different.

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

  3. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (DRIVING TEST)

    Note

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


    1. Warm up the engine.

    2. Turn the ignition switch off.

    3. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    5. Turn the GTS on.

    6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test.

    7. According to the display on the GTS, perform the Active Test.

      Tech Tips


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

        Click here

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


      Powertrain > Engine and ECT > Active Test
      Tester Display Measurement Item Control Range Diagnostic Note
      Control the Shift Position Operate the shift solenoid valves and set each shift position

      • Press "→" button: Shift up

      • Press "←" button: Shift down

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

      A 10-second interval is required between gear changes.

      Do not down-shift at high speeds. Doing so will damage the automatic transaxle.

      [Vehicle Condition]

      50 km/h (30 mph) or less

      Note


      • This test can be conducted when the vehicle is stopped.

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

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

      Tech Tips

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

      Standard
      1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th
      8 to 12 km/h (5 to 7.5 mph) 15 to 19 km/h (9.3 to 11.8 mph) 21 to 25 km/h (13.0 to 15.5 mph) 31 to 35 km/h (19.3 to 21.7 mph) 44 to 48 km/h (27.3 to 29.8 mph) 52 to 56 km/h (32.3 to 34.8 mph)

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

      Tech Tips


      • *1: Neutral

      • *2: If 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 is less than the normal limit. When the engine power exceeds this lowered limit, the engine speed will increase freely.

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