AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM(for 2TR-FE), Diagnostic DTC:P0778

DTC Code DTC Name
P0778 Pressure Control Solenoid "B" Electrical (Shift Solenoid Valve SL2)

DESCRIPTION

Changing from 1st to 6th is performed by the ECM turning shift solenoid valves SL1, SL2, SL3 and SL4 on and off. If an open or short circuit occurs in any of the shift solenoid valves, the ECM controls the remaining normal shift solenoid valves to allow the vehicle to be operated.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area MIL Memory
P0778 Pressure Control Solenoid "B" Electrical (Shift Solenoid Valve SL2) An open or short circuit (output signal duty is 0% or 100%) is detected by the ECM in the shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit while driving and shifting gears (SL2 output signal duty is more than 0% and less than 100% under normal conditions) (1 trip detection logic).

  • Open or short in shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit

  • Shift solenoid valve SL2

  • ECM

 Comes on DTC stored

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

This DTC indicates an open or short in the shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit. The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves on or off. When there is an open or short circuit in any of the shift solenoid valve circuits, the ECM detects the problem and illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC. The ECM also performs the fail-safe function and turns the other normal shift solenoid valves on or off. (In case of an open or short circuit, the ECM stops sending current to the circuit.)

While driving and shifting gears, if the ECM detects an open or short in the shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit, the ECM determines there is a malfunction.

Tech Tips


  • The following table shows normal operation of the shift solenoid valve SL2 when the shift lever is in D:

    ECM commanded gear 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th
    Shift solenoid valve SL2 OFF OFF OFF ON ON ON

  • After the repair, clear the DTCs and perform the following procedure to check that DTCs are not output.


    1. Perform the D Position Shift Test in Road Test.

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT TRANSMISSION WIRE (SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SL2)


    1. B0028EHC04
      *a

      Component without harness connected

      (Transmission Wire)

      Disconnect the transmission wire connector.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      15 (SL2+) - 16 (SL2-) 20°C (68°F) 5.0 to 5.6 Ω
      15 (SL2+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      16 (SL2-) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      Result
      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

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


    1. B0026A6C14
      *a

      Rear view of wire harness connector

      (to ECM)

      Disconnect the ECM connector.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      C54-7 (SL2+) - C54-6 (SL2-) 20°C (68°F) 5.0 to 5.6 Ω
      C54-7 (SL2+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      C54-6 (SL2-) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      Result
      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      1 - 2 20°C (68°F) 5.0 to 5.6 Ω

    3. Apply 12 V battery voltage to the shift solenoid valve and check that the valve moves and makes an operating noise.

      OK
      Measurement Condition Specified Condition

      • Battery positive (+) with a 21 W bulb → Terminal 1

      • Battery negative (-) → Terminal 2
