AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0798

DTC Code DTC Name
P0798 Pressure Control Solenoid "C" Electrical (Shift Solenoid Valve SL3)

DESCRIPTION

Changing from 1st to 6th is performed by the ECM turning shift solenoid valves SL1, SL2, SL3, SL4 and SL on and off. If an open or short circuit occurs in any of the shift solenoid valves, the ECM controls the remaining normal shift solenoid valves to allow the vehicle to be operated.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area MIL Memory
P0798 Pressure Control Solenoid "C" Electrical (Shift Solenoid Valve SL3) An open or short circuit (output signal duty is 0% or 100%) is detected by the ECM in the shift solenoid valve SL3 circuit while driving and shifting gears (SL3 output signal duty is more than 0% and less than 100% under normal conditions) (1-trip detection logic).

  • Open or short in shift solenoid valve SL3 circuit

  • Shift solenoid valve SL3

  • Wiring harness connector

  • ECM

 Comes on DTC stored

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves on or off. When there is an open or short circuit in any shift solenoid valve circuit, the ECM detects the problem, illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC. The ECM also performs the fail-safe function and turns the other normal shift solenoid valves on or off (in case of an open or short circuit, the ECM stops sending current to the circuit).

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SL3 CIRCUIT)


    1. A0027TIC08
      *a

      Front view of wire harness connector

      (to ECM)

      Disconnect the ECM connector.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      C1-11 (SL3+) - C1-10 (SL3-) 20°C (68°F) 5.0 to 5.6 Ω
      C1-11 (SL3+) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher
      C1-10 (SL3-) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher
      Result
      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    OK

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM - WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR)


    1. Disconnect the connector from the wiring harness connector.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      C1-11 (SL3+) - C2-19 (SL3+) Always Below 1 Ω
      C1-10 (SL3-) - C2-18 (SL3-) Always Below 1 Ω
      C1-11 (SL3+) or C2-19 (SL3+) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher
      C1-10 (SL3-) or C2-18 (SL3-) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher
      Result
      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

  3. INSPECT TRANSMISSION WIRE (SL3)


    1. A002C2RC05
      *a

      Component without harness connected

      (Transmission Wire)

      Remove the wiring harness connector from the transaxle.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A-16 (SL3+) - A-15 (SL3-) 20°C (68°F) 5.0 to 5.6 Ω
      A-16 (SL3+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A-15 (SL3-) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      Result
      Proceed to
      OK

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      1 - 2 20°C (68°F) 5.0 to 5.6 Ω

    3. Connect a battery positive (+) lead with a 21 W bulb to terminal 2 and a negative (-) lead to terminal 1 of the solenoid valve connector. Then check that the valve moves and makes an operating sound.

      OK
      Valve moves and makes an operating sound.
