CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

Shifting from 1st to 5th is performed in combination with ON and OFF operation of the shift solenoid valves
SL1, SL2, SL3, S4 and SR which is controlled by the ECM. If an open or short circuit occurs in either of the
shift solenoid valves, the ECM controls the remaining normal shift solenoid valve to allow the vehicle to be
operated smoothly (Fail safe function).

DTC No.

DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

P0753

P0758

P0763

ECM checks for an open or short circuit in shift solenoid valves
SL1, SL2 and SL3:

(a) When solenoid is energized, duty ratio exceed 75 %

(b) When solenoid is not energized, duty ratio is less than 3 %

P0768

P1818

ECM checks for an open or short circuit in shift solenoid valves
S4 and SR circuit when it changes
ECM records DTC P0768 and P1818 if condition (a) or (b) is
detected:

(a) When solenoid is energized, solenoid resistance is 8 

Ω

 or

less and it is counted

(b) When solenoid is not energized, solenoid resistance is 100

k

Ω

 or more and it is counted

Open or short in shift solenoid valve SL1, SL2, SL3, S4 or SR

Shift solenoid valve SL1, SL2, SL3, S4 or SR

ECM

HINT:
Check the shift solenoid valve SL1 when DTC P0753 is output, check the shift solenoid valve SL2 when DTC
P0758 is output, check the shift solenoid valve SL3 when DTC P0763 is output, check the shift solenoid valve
S4 when DTC P0768 is output and check the shift solenoid valve SR when DTC P1818 is output.

Fail safe function:
If either of the shift solenoid valve circuits develops an open or short, the ECM turns the other shift solenoid
ON and OFF in order to shift into the gear positions shown in the table below.
Manual shifting as shown in the following table must be done (In case of a short circuit, the ECM stops send-
ing the current to the short circuit solenoid).
