Fig. 117: Gear Ratio Versus Shift Status Graph

General Description

To engage 4th gear, line pressure is supplied to the 4th clutch piston, engaging the 4th clutch, and the input
shaft (mainshaft) and the input shaft (mainshaft) 4th gear are connected and revolve together. Hydraulic
pressure is supplied to the 4th clutch through the ATF strainer --> the ATF pump --> the regulator valve --> the
manual valve --> the shift valves --> the feed pipe --> 4th clutch piston. (A shift valve failure in the supply
route above is detected by the malfunction detection of each shift solenoid valve.) The powertrain control
module (PCM) computes the ratio of the input shaft (mainshaft) speed to the output shaft (countershaft) speed.
When the ratio is not the 4th gear ratio, it is detected as a malfunction of the hydraulic circuit or the 4th clutch,
and a DTC is stored.

Malfunction Threshold

The actual gear ratio must match one of these conditions for at least 12 seconds with the 4th gear command:



Actual gear ratio > 4th gear ratio by a factor of 1.2



Actual gear ratio < 4th gear ratio by a factor of 0.75

Driving Pattern

Start the engine, shift to D position, and drive the vehicle at a speed of 8 mph (12 km/h) or more for at least 12
seconds in 4th gear.



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

Diagnosis Details

Conditions for illuminating the indicator

When a malfunction is detected, the D indicator blinks, and the DTC and the freeze frame data are stored in the
PCM memory. The MIL does not come on.

Conditions for clearing the DTC

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

To engage 5th gear, line pressure is supplied to the 5th clutch piston, engaging the 5th clutch, and the input
shaft (mainshaft) and the input shaft (mainshaft) 5th gear are connected and revolve together. Hydraulic
pressure is supplied to the 5th clutch through the ATF strainer --> the ATF pump --> the regulator valve --> the
manual valve --> the shift valves --> the feed pipe --> 5th clutch piston. (A shift valve failure in the supply
route above is detected by the malfunction detection of each shift solenoid valve.) The powertrain control
module (PCM) computes the ratio of the input shaft (mainshaft) speed to the output shaft (countershaft) speed.
When the ratio is not the 5th gear ratio, it is detected as a malfunction of the hydraulic circuit or the 5th clutch,
and a DTC is stored.
