AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM(for 2GR-FSE), Diagnostic DTC:P0796

DTC Code DTC Name
P0796 Pressure Control Solenoid "C" Performance (Shift Solenoid Valve SL3)

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Based on signals from the transmission revolution sensors (NT, SP2 and NC3), the actual gear is detected.

If the detected gear is different than the commanded gear, the TCM detects related mechanical problems in the shift solenoid valves, valve body and automatic transmission.

Tech Tips

Actual gear when a problem occurs in shift solenoid valve SL3:
TCM commanded gear 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th
Actual gear during SL3 stuck ON malfunction 3rd 3rd 3rd 3rd 7th 7th 7th 7th
Actual gear during SL3 stuck OFF malfunction 1st 2nd N (1st)* 4th 5th 6th N* 8th

DTC Detection Condition 1:


  1. ECT is 40°C (104°F) or more, ATF temperature is -10°C (14°F) or more, and the vehicle is driven with the shift lever in D (no malfunctions are detected in shift solenoid valve SL1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, SR, transmission revolution sensors (NT, NC3, SP2), water temperature sensor, oil temperature sensor, knock control sensor, electronic throttle, or CAN2)

  2. One of following occurs:

    (a) When gear shifts to 1st are requested by the TCM, the actual gear changes to 3rd gear

    (b) When gear shifts to 2nd are requested by the TCM, the actual gear changes to 3rd gear

    (c) When gear shifts to 4th are requested by the TCM, the actual gear changes to 3rd gear

    (d) When gear shifts to 5th are requested by the TCM, the actual gear changes to 7th gear

    (e) When gear shifts to 6th are requested by the TCM, the actual gear changes to 7th gear

  3. Malfunction status occurs 2 times per trip

  4. 2 trip detection logic

DTC Detection Condition 2:

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The TCM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves on and off. According to the input shaft revolution (speed), intermediate (counter) shaft revolution (speed) and output shaft revolution (speed), the TCM detects the actual gear (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th or 8th gear position). When the gear commanded by the TCM and the actual gear are not the same, the TCM illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note

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