AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM FAIL-SAFE CHART


  1. FAIL-SAFE CHART

    This function minimizes the loss of the ECT functions when any malfunction occurs in each sensor or solenoid.

    Malfunction Part Function

    DTC P0717:

    Transmission Revolution Sensor (NT)

    During a transmission revolution sensor (NT) malfunction, shift control is effected through the transmission revolution sensor (SP2) signal.

    During a transmission revolution sensor (NT) malfunction, up-shift to the 5th and 6th, AI-SHIFT*1 and flex lock-up clutch control are prohibited.

    DTC P0722:

    Transmission Revolution Sensor (SP2)

    During a transmission revolution sensor (SP2) malfunction, shift control is effected through the transmission revolution sensor (NT) signal.

    During a transmission revolution sensor (SP2) malfunction, up-shift to the 5th and 6th, AI-SHIFT*1 and flex lock-up clutch control are prohibited.

    DTC P0712, P0713:

    ATF Temperature Sensor

    During an ATF temperature sensor malfunction, up-shift to the 5th and 6th and flex lock-up clutch control are prohibited.
    Shift Solenoid Valve S1, S2, S3, S4 and SR

    The current to the failed solenoid valve is cut off and control is effected by operating the other solenoid valves.

    Shift control is effected depending on the failed solenoid as described in the table on the next page.

    DTC P0748, P0778:

    Shift Solenoid Valve SL1 and SL2

    During a solenoid valve SL1 or SL2 malfunction, up-shift to the 5th and 6th and flex lock-up clutch control are prohibited.

    DTC P2757, P2759:

    Shift Solenoid Valve SLU

    During a solenoid valve SLU malfunction, the current to the solenoid valve is stopped. This stops lock-up control and flex lock-up control, fuel economy decreases.

    DTC P02714, P2716:

    Shift Solenoid Valve SLT

    During a solenoid valve SLT malfunction, the current to the solenoid valve is stopped. This stops line pressure optimal control, the shift shock increases. However, shifting is effected through normal clutch pressure control.

    *1: AI (Artificial Intelligence) -SHIFT control

    In addition to the switching of the shift pattern through the combination switch, the AI-SHIFT control enables the ECM to estimate the road conditions and the driver's intention in order to automatically select the optimal shift pattern. As a result, a comfortable ride has been realized.


    1. Fail-safe operation for electronically malfunctioning shift solenoid valve (S1, S2, S3, S4 and SR):

      Tech Tips

      Fail-safe operation in the event of an electric system malfunction.

      Fail safe function:

      If either of the shift solenoid valve circuits has an open or short failure, the ECM turns the other shift solenoid "ON" and "OFF" in order to shift into the gear positions shown in the table below.

      In case of a short circuit, the ECM stops sending current to the short circuited solenoid.

      Even if staring the engine again in the fail-safe mode, the gear position remains in the same position.
