AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P08BA12

DTC Code DTC Name
P08BA12 Pressure Control Solenoid "L" Circuit Short to Battery

DESCRIPTION

Changing gears is performed by the ECM turning the solenoid (SL1, SL2, SL3, SL4, SL5 and SL6) valves on and off.

If an open or short occurs in any of the solenoid valve circuits, the ECM controls the remaining normal solenoid valves to allow the vehicle to be driven. If all of the solenoid valves are malfunctioning, only the mechanical fluid pressure circuit will function and some manual operation will be possible. If an open or short occurs in a solenoid valve circuit, the ECM cuts power to the malfunctioning solenoid valve.

Tech Tips

The following table shows normal operation of the solenoid (SL6) valve when the shift lever is in D.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

This DTC indicates a short to +B in the solenoid (SL6) valve circuit. The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the solenoid valves on or off. When there is an open or short in any solenoid valve circuit, the ECM detects the problem, illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.

The ECM performs the fail-safe function and turns the other normal solenoid valves on or off. In the case of an open or short circuit, the ECM stops sending current to the open or shorted solenoid.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK HARNESS AND TRANSMISSION WIRE (TRANSMISSION WIRE (SOLENOID (SL6) VALVE) - ECM)


    1. Disconnect the C1 ECM connector.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      C1-32 (SL6+) or C1-33 (SL6-) - Other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher
      Result

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION WIRE - ECM)


    1. Disconnect the C62 transmission wire connector.

    2. Disconnect the C1 ECM connector.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      C62-9 (SL6+) or C1-32 (SL6+) - Other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher
      C62-8 (SL6-) or C1-33 (SL6-) - Other terminals 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
      Solenoid (SL6) valve connector terminal 1 - terminal 2 20°C (68°F) 5.0 to 5.6 Ω

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

      OK
      Valve moves and makes an operating sound.
