AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0798

DTC Code DTC Name
P0798 Pressure Control Solenoid "C" Electrical (Shift Solenoid Valve SL3)

DESCRIPTION

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

Pressure Control Solenoid "C" Electrical (Shift Solenoid Valve SL3)

An open or short circuit (output signal duty is 0% or 100%) is detected by the TCM in the shift solenoid valve SL3 circuit while driving and shifting gears (SL3 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 SL3 circuit

  • Shift solenoid valve SL3

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The TCM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves on or off. When there is an open or short circuit in any shift solenoid valve circuit, the TCM detects the problem and illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC. And the TCM 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 TCM stops sending current to the circuit.)

PROCEDURE

  1. INSPECT TRANSMISSION WIRE (SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SL3)

    1. C207057C17

      *a

      Component without TCM connected

      (Transmission Wire)

      Remove the TCM.

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

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection

      Condition

      Specified Condition

      16 (SL3+) - 15 (SL3-)

      20°C (68°F)

      5.0 to 5.6 Ω

      16 (SL3+) - Body ground

      Always

      10 kΩ or higher

      15 (SL3-) - Body ground

      Always

      10 kΩ or higher

      16 (SL3+) - All other terminals except 15 (SL3-)

      Always

      10 kΩ or higher

      15 (SL3-) - All other terminals except 16 (SL3+)

      Always

      10 kΩ or higher

  2. INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SL3

    1. C197715C16

      *1

      Shift Solenoid Valve SL3

      Remove shift solenoid valve SL3.

    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

      Valve moves and makes an operating noise
