AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

23A-239

STEP 13. Check the harness for an open or short circuit to
ground between A/T control solenoid valve assembly
connector C-03 (terminals 6, 7, 8 and 10) and solenoid
valve connectors C-03-4, C-03-5 and C-03-6.
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

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

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
If lock-up is not engaged, and solenoid terminal volt-
age is below specified value, PCM judges that torque
converter clutch solenoid valve has a failure.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

23A-241

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Check Conditions

• Solenoid status: either solid ON or OFF.

• Voltage of battery: 10 volts or more.

Judgement Criteria

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

• If DTC 36 (P0743) is set consecutively four times,

the transmission 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 torque converter clutch solenoid

valve

• Damaged harness, 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

• MB991911: MUT-III Main Harness B

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check actuator test
item 06: Torque Converter Clutch 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 06: Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Valve.

• An audible clicking or buzzing should be heard when

the torque converter clutch solenoid valve is ener-
gized.

(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.00-6

.

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-277

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 31 and DTC 35 set? (Multiple DTCs may be set).

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