AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P2769, P2770

DTC Code DTC Name
P2769 Short in Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Circuit (Shift Solenoid Valve SL)
P2770 Open in Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Circuit (Shift Solenoid Valve SL)

DESCRIPTION

The shift solenoid valve SL is turned on and off by signals from the TCM to control the hydraulic pressure acting on the lock-up relay valve, which then controls operation of the lock-up clutch.

Fail-safe function:

If the TCM detects a malfunction, it turns shift solenoid valve SL off.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

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