DTC

P0770

SHIFT SOLENOID E MALFUNCTION

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The ECM uses the signals from the throttle position sensor, Air-flow meter and crankshaft position sensor
to monitor the engagement condition of the lock-up clutch.
Then the ECM compares the engagement condition of the lock-up clutch with the lock-up schedule in the
ECM memory to detect a mechanical trouble of the shift solenoid valve DSL, valve body and torque converter
clutch.

DTC No.

DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1

PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY OBD II SCAN TOOL OR HAND-HELD TESTER

(a)

Warm up the engine.

(b)

Turn the ignition switch OFF.

(c)

Connect the OBD II scan tool or Hand-held tester to the DLC3.

(d)

Turn the ignition switch ON and push the OBD II scan tool or Hand-held tester main SW ON.

(e)

Select the item ”LOCK UP” in the ACTIVE TEST and operate the Lock-up solenoid valves on the OBD
II scan tool or Hand-held tester.

NOTICE:
The values given below for ”Normal Condition” are representative values, so a vehicle may still be
normal even if its value differs from those listed here. Do not depend solely on the ”Normal Condi-
tion” here when deciding whether or not the part is faulty.
