PROBABLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of TC-SST-ECU

• Malfunction of TC-SST shift fork

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Scan tool CAN bus diagnostics
Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Repair the CAN bus lines. (Refer to GROUP 54C

−

Troubleshooting

P.54C-14

.) After repairing the CAN

bus line, go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check whether the DTC is reset.
Q: Is DTC No. P1844 set?

YES : Replace the TC-SST assembly. (Refer to

P.22C-341

.)

NO : Intermittent malfunction. (Refer to GROUP 00

− How

to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction

P.00-15

.)

DTC P184B: Shift Fork 4 Malfunction

CAUTION

• If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines,

an incorrect diagnostic trouble code may be
set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN
bus lines.

• Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that

the CAN bus lines are normal.

.

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION

TC-SST-ECU checks that the movement of the shift
fork 4 is normal.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

The movement of the shift fork 4 is determined to be
abnormal.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

• Continuous

DTC SET CONDITIONS <FUNCTIONAL
CHECK - BLOCKED>

Check Conditions

• Voltage of battery: 8 V or more.

• Voltage of battery: 16.5 V or less.

• Engine speed: 500 r/min or more.

• Time since above engine condition: 400 millisec-

ond or more.

• Common high side 1 voltage: 2.5 V or more.

• Common high side 3 voltage: 2.5 V or more.

JUDGMENT CRITERIA

•

• Shift fork operation time: Shift fork operation time

(threshold value) or more. (immediately)

• Shift fork operation time (threshold value): Equal

the maximum allowed time x Coefficient. (imme-
diately)

.

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN
<FUNCTIONAL CHECK - BLOCKED>

The shift fork operation time is threshold value or
less.
