General Description

Shift solenoid valve C is installed in the transmission housing. It is controlled by the ON/OFF signal from
the powertrain control module (PCM) to apply line pressure to shift valve C. The signal from the PCM is
output to apply clutch pressure control pressure to the proper gear change clutch according to the gear
change schedule. When the signal to shift solenoid valve C from the PCM is ON, and line pressure is
discharged, shift valve C is inactive. When the signal to shift solenoid valve C from the PCM is OFF, and
line pressure is applied to shift valve C, it operates against the shift valve C spring. The PCM monitors the
input shaft (mainshaft) speed and the output shaft (countershaft) speed at the gear change determined by the
shift schedule. When an improper gear ratio is output compared to the predetermined gear change mode, a
shift solenoid valve C ON failure is detected and a DTC is stored.

Malfunction Threshold

The transmission is held in 3rd gear against the 3rd --> 4th gear upshift command for as long as 20 seconds,
without records that the gear change time was short when the 2nd --> 3rd gear upshift was commanded.

Driving Pattern

Start the engine, and accelerate the vehicle until the transmission shifts into 5th gear in the D position.



Drive the vehicle in this manner only if the traffic regulations and ambient conditions allow.

Diagnosis Details

Conditions for illuminating the MIL

When a malfunction is detected during the first drive cycle, a Temporary DTC is stored in the PCM
memory. If the malfunction recurs during the next (second) drive cycle, the MIL comes on and the DTC and
the freeze frame data are stored.

Conditions for clearing the MIL

The MIL will be cleared if the malfunction does not recur during three consecutive trips in which the
diagnostic runs.

The MIL, the DTC, the Temporary DTC, and the freeze frame data can be cleared by using the scan tool
Clear command or by disconnecting the battery.
