AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P2808

DTC Code DTC Name
P2808 Pressure Control Solenoid "G" Performance (Shift Solenoid Valve SL4)

DESCRIPTION

The ECM uses the vehicle speed signal and signals from the transmission speed sensors (NC, NT) to detect the actual gear (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th gear).

Then the ECM compares the actual gear with the shift schedule in the ECM memory to detect mechanical problems of the shift solenoid valves and valve body.

DTC No.

Pressure Control Solenoid "G" Performance (Shift Solenoid Valve SL4)

Either condition is met (2-trip detection logic):

  • The engine revs freely when a shift to 3rd or 5th gear is commanded.

  • The condition that 4th gear is engaged when a shift to 4th gear is commanded occurs twice, and one of the following conditions is met:

    • When a shift to 1st gear is commanded, 3rd gear is engaged.

    • When a shift to 2nd gear is commanded, 3rd gear is engaged.

    • When a shift to 6th gear is commanded, 5th gear is engaged.

  • Shift solenoid valve SL4 remains open or closed

  • Transmission valve body assembly is blocked

  • Automatic transaxle assembly (clutch, brake or gear etc.)

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves on and off. According to the input shaft speed, intermediate (counter) shaft speed and output shaft speed, the ECM detects the actual gear (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th gear). When the gear commanded by the ECM and the actual gear are not the same, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note:

Perform registration and/or initialization when parts related to the automatic transaxle are replaced.

PROCEDURE

  1. CHECK OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P2808)

    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.

      Powertrain > Engine and ECT > Trouble Codes

    5. Read the DTCs using the GTS.

  2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (DRIVING TEST)

    Note:

    This test should always be performed with at least 2 people.

    1. Warm up the engine.

    2. Turn the ignition switch off.

    3. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    5. Turn the GTS on.

    6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test.

    7. According to the display on the GTS, perform the Active Test.

      Tip:

      • Comparing the gear commanded by the Active Test with the actual gear enables confirmation of the problem.

      • The gear commanded by the ECM is shown in the Data List / Shift Status display on the GTS.

      Diagnostic Note

      Control the Shift Position

      Operate the shift solenoid valves and set each shift position

      • Press "→" button: Shift up

      • Press "←" button: Shift down

      Can be used to check the operation of the shift solenoid valves.

      A 10-second interval is required between gear changes.

      Do not down-shift at high speeds. Doing so will damage the automatic transaxle.

      Note:

      • This test can be conducted when the vehicle is stopped.

      • When shifting gears using the Active Test function, do not operate the accelerator pedal for 2 seconds before and after shifting gears.

    8. Check the vehicle speed and the gear when the engine speed is 1000 rpm.

      Tip:

      Because the torque converter has not engaged, it may be difficult to obtain the speeds specified in 4th, 5th, and 6th gear, however a difference of speed should still be evident following each gear change.

      Tip:

      • *1: Neutral

      • *2: If shift solenoid valve SLT is stuck on, the line pressure will be low. Therefore, the amount of torque that can be transmitted by each gear is less than the normal limit. When the engine power exceeds this lowered limit, the engine speed will increase freely.

      • *3: When shift solenoid valve SLT is stuck off, gear shifting is normal.
