DTC    P0778    Pressure Control Solenoid "B" Electrical (Shift Solenoid Valve SL2)

for Preparation Click here


DESCRIPTION

Shifting from 1st to 5th is performed in combination with the ON and OFF operation of the shift solenoid valves SL1, SL2, S1, S2 and SR, which is controlled by the ECM. If an open or short circuit occurs in the shift solenoid valves, the ECM controls the remaining normal shift solenoid valve to allow the vehicle to be operated safely (Click here).

DTC No.
DTC Detection Condition
Trouble Area
P0778
ECM checks for an open or short in shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit while driving and shifting between 4th and 5th gear (1 trip detection logic)
Output signal duty equal to 100%

HINT:
SL2 output signal duty is less than 100% under normal conditions

  1. Open or short in shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit
  2. Shift solenoid valve SL2
  3. ECM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

This DTC indicates an open or short in the shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit. The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves ON/OFF. When there is an open or short circuit in any shift solenoid valve circuit, the ECM detects the problem, illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC. Also, the ECM performs the fail-safe function and turns the other normal shift solenoid valves ON/OFF. In case of an open or short circuit, the ECM stops sending current to the circuit.
While driving and shifting between 4th and 5th gears, if the ECM detects an open or short in the shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit, the ECM determines that there is a malfunction (Click here).

1.INSPECT TRANSMISSION WIRE (SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SL2)


    G020667E24

  1. Disconnect the E1 wire connector.

  1. Measure the resistance of the wire connector.

    Standard resistance:
    Tester Connection
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    11 (SL2+) - 3 (SL2-)
    		20°C (68°F)
    		5.0 to 5.6 Ω
    11 (SL2+) - Body ground
    		20°C (68°F)
    		10 kΩ or higher
    3 (SL2-) - Body ground
    		20°C (68°F)
    		10 kΩ or higher

OK


2.CHECK WIRE HARNESS (TRANSMISSION WIRE - ECM)


    G035616E04

  1. Disconnect the E16 ECM connector.

  1. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.

    Standard resistance:
    Tester Connection
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    E16-17 (SL2+) - E16-16 (SL2-)
    		20°C (68°F)
    		5.0 to 5.6 Ω
    E16-17 (SL2+) - Body ground
    		20°C (68°F)
    		10 kΩ or higher
    E16-16 (SL2-) - Body ground
    		20°C (68°F)
    		10 kΩ or higher

3.INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SL2
D025466E05

  1. Remove the shift solenoid valve SL2.

  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.


    HINT:
    A110977E02
    Reference: Inspect using an oscilloscope.
    Check the waveform of the ECM connector.

    Standard voltage:
    Refer to illustration.
