AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0761, P0762, P0781

DTC Code DTC Name
P0761 Shift Solenoid "C" Performance (Shift Solenoid Valve S3)
P0762 Shift Solenoid "C" Stuck ON (S3 Solenoid)
P0781 1-2 Shift (1-2 Shift Valve)

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The TCM carries out detection of the gear position based upon signals from the input speed sensor NT and the output speed sensor SP2. Subsequently, if the gear position as detected by the TCM is different to the commanded gear position, then a related solenoid valve, valve body, or automatic transmission mechanical problem is detected.

DTC No.

Tech Tips


  • Gear positions in the event of a solenoid valve mechanical problem:

    TCM command gearshift 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th
    *1: Actual gear position under S3 stuck ON malfunction ↑ ↑ ↑ 3rd N* N*
    *2: Actual gear position under S3 stuck OFF malfunction 3rd 6th 4th 4th 5th 6th

    N*: Neutral

  • Gear position during fail-safe operation:

    If any malfunction is detected, the TCM changes into the fail-safe mode to shift into the gear positions as shown in the table below.

    Gear position under normal conditions 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th
    *1: Actual gear position under fail safe mode when S3 stuck ON malfunction ↑ ↑ ↑ 3rd 3rd 3rd
    *2: Actual gear position under fail safe mode when S3 stuck OFF malfunction 3rd 6th 4th 4th 5th 6th

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

This DTC indicates "stuck ON malfunction" or "stuck OFF malfunction" of the shift solenoid valve S3.

The TCM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves "ON/OFF". When the gear position commanded by the TCM and the actual gear position are not same, the TCM illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.

  1. CHECK THE SHIFT POSITION


    1. Drive the vehicle with shift lever in the M.

    2. Check the shift position.

      Tech Tips


      • The shift solenoid valve S3 is turned on/off normally when the shift lever is in the D position:

        TCM command gearshift 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th
        Shift solenoid valve S3 ON ON ON OFF OFF OFF

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK OTHER DTCS OUTPUT


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and push the GTS main switch ON.

    3. Read the DTCs using the GTS Click here.

  2. HYDRAULIC TEST

    *1 SST *2 Test Plug

    Note


    • Perform the test at the normal operating ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) temperature: 60 to 90°C (140 to 194°F)

    • The line pressure test should always be carried out in pairs. One technician should observe the conditions of wheels or wheel stoppers outside the vehicle while the other is performing the test.

    • Be careful to prevent SST hose from interfering with the exhaust pipe.

    • This Check must be conducted after checking and adjusting engine.

    • Perform under condition that A/C is OFF.

    • When conducting stall test, do not continue more than 5 seconds.


    1. Warm up the ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid).

    2. Lift the vehicle up.

    3. Remove the test plug on the transmission case center right side and connect SST.

      SST
      09992-00095   ( 09992-00231, 09992-00271 )

    4. Lower the vehicle.

    5. Fully apply the parking brake and check the 4 wheels.

    6. Start the engine and check idling speed.

    7. Keep your left foot pressing firmly on the brake pedal and shift into D position.

    8. Measure the line pressure when the engine is idling.

    9. Depress the accelerator pedal all the way down. Quickly read the highest line pressure when engine speed reaches stall speed.

    10. In the same manner, do the test in R position.

      Specified line pressure:
      Condition

      D position kPa (kgf / cm2, psi)

      R position kPa (kgf / cm2, psi)
      Idling

      350 to 430 kPa

      (3.6 to 4.4 kgf/cm2, 51 to 62 psi)

      760 to 950 kPa

      (7.7 to 9.7 kgf/cm2, 110 to 138 psi)
      Stall test

      1200 to 1380 kPa

      (12.5 to 14.0 kgf/cm2, 174 to 200 psi)

      1410 to 1630 kPa

      (14.4 to 16.6 kgf/cm2, 204 to 236 psi)
