AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P2714

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

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The linear solenoid valve (SLT) controls the transmission line pressure for smooth transmission operation based on signals from the throttle position sensor and the vehicle speed sensor. The TCM adjusts the current to SLT solenoid valve 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 TCM detects a malfunction in the shift solenoid valve SLT (ON side) according to the difference in the speed between the turbine and the output shaft, and also by the transmission fluid pressure. (2-trip detection logic)
  • Shift solenoid valve SLT remains open

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

  • Valve body is blocked

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

Comes on DTC stored

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The TCM 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 TCM will set this DTC and illuminate the MIL.

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 up and the vehicle will no longer be drivable.

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

    Note


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

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

    • This check must be conducted 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 ignition switch off.

    2. Lift the vehicle up.

    3. A002AH9E02

      Remove the test plug on the transmission case center right side and connect 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 Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF).

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

    10. Turn the GTS on.

    11. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Active Test.

    12. Follow the instructions on the GTS and perform the Active Test.

    13. Measure the line pressure with SST.

      Tech Tips

      ON: No action (normal operation)

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

      [Vehicle Condition]


      • Vehicle Stopped

      • IDL: ON


      Powertrain > ECT > Active Test

      Activate the Solenoid (SLT)

      • "Activate the Solenoid (SLT)" in the Active Test is performed to check that the line pressure changes by connecting the SST to the automatic transaxle. The same SST is used in the Hydraulic Test as well.

      Tech Tips

      The pressure values in Active Test and Hydraulic Test are different from each other.

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

  5. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (SHIFTING 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 / 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.

      Control the Shift Position Operates the shift solenoid valves to allow gears to 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 (30 mph) or less


      Powertrain > ECT > Active Test
      Tester Display
      Control the Shift Position

      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.

      Tech Tips

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

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

      Tech Tips

      Because the torque converter clutch 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 TCM commanded gear and the actual gear.

      Tech Tips


      • *1: Neutral

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

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