AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P074011

DTC Code DTC Name
P074011 Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Short to Ground

DESCRIPTION

Solenoid (SL) valve is turned on and off by signals from the ECM to control the hydraulic pressure acting on the lock-up relay valve, which then controls operation of the lock-up clutch.

  • Solenoid (SL) valve

  • Transmission wire

  • Harness and connector

  • ECM

 Comes on DTC stored

SAE Code:

P2769

Fail-safe function:

If the ECM detects a malfunction, it turns Solenoid (SL) valve off.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

Based on the signals from the throttle position sensor, the air flow meter and the crankshaft position sensor, the ECM sends a signal to solenoid (SL) valve to regulate the hydraulic pressure and provide smoother torque converter engagement. Solenoid (SL) valve responds to commands from the ECM. The valve controls the lock-up relay valve to perform the torque-converter lock-up function. If the ECM detects a short to ground in the solenoid (SL) valve circuit, it will illuminate the MIL and store the DTC.

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT TRANSMISSION WIRE (SOLENOID (SL) VALVE)


    1. B003ZSLC02
      *a

      Component without harness connected

      (Transmission Wire)

      Disconnect the C85 transmission wire connector.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      13 (SL) - Body ground 20°C (68°F) 11 to 15 Ω

    3. Connect the C85 transmission wire connector.

  4. INSPECT SOLENOID (SL) VALVE


    1. B003ZGVC01
      *1 Solenoid (SL) Valve

      Remove the solenoid (SL) valve.

      Click here

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      Solenoid (SL) valve connector terminal - Solenoid (SL) valve body 20°C (68°F) 11 to 15 Ω

    3. Connect a positive (+) lead from the battery to the terminal of the solenoid valve connector, and a negative (-) lead to the solenoid body. Check that the valve moves and makes an operating sound.

      OK
      Valve moves and makes an operating sound.
