DTC    P2757    Torque Converter Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Performance (Shift Solenoid Valve SLU)

for Preparation Click here


SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The ECM uses the signals from the throttle position sensor, air-flow meter, turbine (input) speed sensor, output speed sensor and crankshaft position sensor to monitor the engagement condition of the lock-up clutch.
C108926E02
Then the ECM compares the engagement condition of the lock-up clutch with the lock-up schedule in the ECM memory to detect mechanical problems of the shift solenoid valve SLU, valve body and torque converter clutch.

DTC No.
DTC Detection Condition
Trouble Area
P2757
Lock-up does not occur when driving in lock-up range (normal driving at 80 km/h (50 mph)), or lock-up remains ON in the lock-up OFF range
(2 trip detection logic)
  1. Shift solenoid valve SLU remains open or closed
  2. Valve body is blocked
  3. Torque converter clutch
  4. Automatic transmission (clutch, brake or gear, etc.)
  5. Line pressure is too low

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

Torque converter lock-up is controlled by the ECM based on the turbine (input) speed sensor NT, output speed sensor SP2, engine rpm, engine load, engine temperature, vehicle speed, transmission temperature, and gear selection. The ECM determines the lock-up status of the torque converter by comparing the engine rpm (NE) to the input turbine rpm (NT). The ECM calculates the actual transmission gear by comparing input turbine rpm (NT) to output shaft rpm (SP2). When conditions are appropriate, the ECM requests lock-up by applying control voltage to the shift solenoid SLU. When the SLU is turned ON, it applies pressure to the lock-up relay valve and locks the torque converter clutch.
If the ECM detects no lock-up after lock-up has been requested or if it detects lock-up when it is not requested, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the shift solenoid valve SLU or lock-up system performance.
The ECM will illuminate the MIL and store the DTC.
Example:
When one of the following conditions is met, the system determines that there is a malfunction.
  1. There is a difference in rotation between the input side (engine speed) and output side (input turbine speed) of the torque converter when the ECM commands lock-up.
    Engine speed is at least 70 rpm greater than input turbine speed.
  2. There is no difference in rotation between the input side (engine speed) and output side (input turbine speed) of the torque converter when the ECM commands lock-up OFF.
    The difference between engine speed and input turbine speed is less than 35 rpm.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
Performing the intelligent tester's Active Test allows relay, Vacuum Switching Valve (VSV), actuator and other item values to be operated without removing any parts. Performing the Active Test early in troubleshooting is one way to save time. The Data List can be displayed during the Active Test.

  1. Warm up the engine.
  2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  3. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
  4. Turn the ignition switch ON and push the tester main switch ON.
  5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test.
  6. Follow the instructions on the tester and read the Active Test.

    		Test Details
    		Diagnostic Note
    Control the Lock Up
    		[Test Details]
    Control the shift solenoid SLU to set automatic transmission to lock-up condition
    [Vehicle Condition]
    1. Throttle valve opening angle: Less than 35%
    2. Vehicle speed: 60 km/h (37 mph) or more
    		Possible to check the shift solenoid valve SLU operation

    HINT:
    This test can be conducted in the 5th gear.

  7. Lightly depress the accelerator pedal and check that the engine speed does not change abruptly.

    HINT:
    1. When changing the accelerator pedal opening angle while driving, if the engine speed does not change, lock-up is ON.

    2. Slowly release the accelerator pedal in order to decelerate. Suddenly releasing the pedal will close the throttle valve and lock-up may be turned off automatically.

1.CHECK OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P2757)

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the ignition switch ON and push the intelligent tester main switch ON.

  1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC / Current or Pending.

  1. Read the DTCs using the intelligent tester.

2.INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SLU
G020767E18

  1. Remove the shift solenoid valve SLU.

  1. Measure the resistance of the solenoid valve.

    Standard resistance:
    5.0 to 5.6 Ωat 20°C (68°F)

  1. Connect the battery's positive (+) lead to the terminal of the solenoid connector, and the negative (-) lead to the solenoid body.

    OK:
    Solenoid makes operating noise.
