WARNING

!

 

• When performing a road test, select a place where there is no traffic or possibility of a traffic 

accident and be very careful during testing to avoid occurrence of an accident.

• Road test should be carried out with 2 persons, a driver and tester, on a level road.

 

1) Connect scan tool to DLC with ignition switch OFF.
2) Clear DTCs in TCM and ECM memories by using scan tool.
3) Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
4) Shift select lever to “N” and “D” range for each 10 seconds.
5) Start vehicle and increase vehicle speed to 65 km/h (40 mile/h) with throttle position 10% or more.
6) Stop vehicle.
7) Start vehicle and increase vehicle speed to 65 km/h (40 mile/h) with throttle position 10% or more.
8) Stop vehicle and turn ignition switch OFF.
9) Repeat Step 3) to 7) one time.

10) Stop vehicle.

11) Check DTC, pending DTC and freeze-frame data.

Check pressure control solenoid valve-C for operation 
referring to “Solenoid Valves (Shift Solenoid-A, Shift 
Solenoid-B, Shift Solenoid-E, TCC Solenoid, Pressure 
Control Solenoid-A, Pressure Control Solenoid-B, and

1

Was “A/T System Check” performed?

Go to Step 2.

Go to “A/T System 
Check”.

2

Check pressure control solenoid valve circuit for 
ground short
1) Disconnect TCM connectors.
2) Check for proper connection to TCM at terminals “E92-

2” and “E92-4” (for pressure control solenoid valve-A), 
“E92-9” and “E92-22” (for pressure control solenoid 
valve-B) or “E92-19” and “E92-21” (for pressure control 
solenoid valve-C).

3) If connection is OK, check continuity between terminal 

“E92-2” (for pressure control solenoid valve-A), “E92-9” 
(for pressure control solenoid valve-B) or “E92-19” (for 
pressure control solenoid valve-C) of disconnected 
harness side TCM connector and ground.

Is continuity indicated?

Pressure control 
solenoid valve-A, -B or -
C control or ground 
circuit is shorted to 
ground circuit.
If circuit is OK, go to 
Step 4.

Go to Step 3.

3

Check pressure control solenoid valve circuit for open
1) Check resistance between terminals “E92-2” and “E92-

4” (for pressure control solenoid valve-A), “E92-9” and 
“E92-22” (for pressure control solenoid valve-B) or “E92-
19” and “E92-21” (for pressure control solenoid valve-C) 
of disconnected harness side TCM connector.

Is it infinity?

Pressure control 
solenoid valve-A, -B or -
C control or ground 
circuit is open circuit.
If circuit is OK, go to 
step 4.

Go to Step 4.

4

Inspection pressure control solenoid valve
Inspection pressure control solenoid valve referring to 
“Solenoid Valves (Shift Solenoid-A, Shift Solenoid-B, Shift 
Solenoid-E, TCC Solenoid, Pressure Control Solenoid-A, 
Pressure Control Solenoid-B, and Pressure Control 
Solenoid-C) Inspection”

Is check results satisfactory?

Intermittent trouble or 
faulty TCM. Check for 
intermittent trouble 
referring “Intermittent 
and Poor Connection 
Inspection in Section 
00”. If OK, substitute a 
known-good TCM and 
recheck.

Replace defective 
pressure control 
solenoid valve referring 
“Solenoid Valves (Shift 
Solenoid-A, Shift 
Solenoid-B, Shift 
Solenoid-E, TCC 
Solenoid, Pressure 
Control Solenoid-A, 
Pressure Control 
Solenoid-B, and 
Pressure Control 
Solenoid-C) Removal 
and Installation”.
