DTC

P1520

Stop Light Switch Signal Malfunction

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this circuit is to prevent the engine from stalling, while driving in lock–up condition, when
brakes are suddenly applied.
When the brake pedal is operated, this switch sends a signals to ECM. Then the ECM cancels operation
of the lock–up clutch while braking is in progress.

DTC No.

DTC

P1705

NC2 Revolution Sensor Circuit Malfunction
(Direct Clutch Speed Sensor)

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

This sensor detects the rotation speed of the direct clutch drum.
By comparing the direct clutch speed signal and the vehicle
speed sensor signal, the ECM detects the shift timing of the
gears and appropriately controls the engine torque and hydrau-
lic pressure in response to various conditions, thus performing
smooth gear shifting.

DTC No.

DTC Detecting Condition

Trouble Area

P1705

The ECM detects conditions (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and f) continu-

ity for 4 secs or more.

(2 trip detection logic)

(a) Vehicle speed : 32 km/h (20 mph) or more

(b) 3rd or 4th gear

(c) NC2 < 300 rpm

(d) Park/neutral position switch: OFF

(e) Solenoid valves and vehicle speed sensor are normal

(f) L position: OFF
