23A-222

STEP 13. Check the harness for an open or short circuit to
ground between A/T control solenoid valve assembly
connector B-108 (terminals 3, 4, 5, and 9) and solenoid
valve connectors B-108-1, B-108-2 and B-108-3.
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Replace the PCM.
NO : Replace the harness wire.

DTC 34 (P0768): Overdrive Solenoid Valve System

CIRCUIT OPERATION

Refer to

P.23A-187

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

• If solenoid terminal voltage is below specified

value when shift control is not in progress, PCM
judges that overdrive solenoid valve has a failure.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

• Continuous

LOGIC FLOW CHARTS (Monitor Sequence)

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Check Conditions

• Solenoid status: either solid ON or OFF.

• Shift status: in-gear.

• Voltage of battery: 10 volts or more.

Judgement Criteria

• Solenoid voltage: 3 volts or less. (0.3 second)

• If DTC 34 (P0768) is set consecutively four times,

the transaxle is locked into 3rd gear as a fail-safe
measure, and the "N" range light flashes once
per second.

.

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN

Start the engine, and keep the vehicle stopped in "P"
range for 5 seconds.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (THE MOST
LIKELY CAUSES FOR THIS CODE TO BE
SET ARE:)

• Malfunction of the overdrive solenoid valve

• Damaged harness or connector

• Malfunction of the PCM

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tool:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: MUT-III USB Cable

• MB991910: MUT-III Main Harness A

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check actuator test
item 04: Overdrive Solenoid Valve.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Set scan tool MB991958 to the actuator test mode.

• Item 04: Overdrive Solenoid Valve.

• An audible clicking or buzzing should be heard when

the overdrive solenoid valve is energized.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the solenoid valve operating properly?

YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.

Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

− How to

Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions

P.00-14

.

NO : Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, read the A/T
diagnostic trouble code.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Check for A/T diagnostic trouble code.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is DTC 54 set? (DTC 54 may be set along with multiple

DTCs).
YES : Refer to

P.23A-267

DTC 54: A/T Control Relay

System.

NO : Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Using scan tool MB991958, read the A/T
diagnostic trouble code.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Check for A/T diagnostic trouble code.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Are DTC 32 and DTC 33 set? (Multiple DTCs may be set).

YES : Go to Step 8.
NO : Go to Step 4.
