AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM FAIL-SAFE CHART


  1. Description

    The fail-safe function minimizes the loss of operation when a malfunction occurs in a sensor or solenoid.

  2. Fail-safe


    1. Fail-safe control list:

      Malfunctioning Part Function
      Transmission Revolution Sensor (NT)

      • Lock up clutch control is prohibited.

      • Lock up clutch control is prohibited.

      • High response gear shifts are prohibited.
      CAN communication

      • When driving in 4th to 8th gear when a malfunction is detected, up-shift to a higher gear will be prohibited.

      • Lock up clutch control is prohibited.

      • High response gear shifts are prohibited.
      Solenoid (SLU) valve

      • Lock up clutch control is prohibited.

      • Shifting to or from 3rd or 4th gear is prohibited.

      • Shifting to or from 6th, 7th or 8th gear is prohibited.
      Solenoid (SLT) valve

      • Engine output is limited.

      • Lock up clutch control is prohibited.

      • The transaxle will be fixed in 5th gear.

    3. Fail-safe Control Chart:

      A00273YE02

      *1: Operation of fail-safe is canceled the first time the vehicle is stopped.

      *2: Operation of fail-safe is not canceled for subsequent times the vehicle is stopped.

      Fail-safe operation is performed when the ECM detects a malfunction.

      Tech Tips

      In the case of an open or short, the ECM stops sending current to the open or shorted solenoid.
