|
DTC |
P0980 |
Shift Solenoid "C" Control Circuit High (Shift Solenoid Valve S3) |
DESCRIPTION
Shifting from 1st to 6th is performed in combination with ON and OFF operation of the shift solenoid valves SL1, SL2, S1, S2, S3, S4 and SR, which are controlled by the ECM. If an open or short circuit occurs in any of the shift solenoid valves, the ECM controls the remaining normal shift solenoid valves to allow the vehicle to be operated safely. Also, the ECM stops sending the current to the open or short circuited solenoid

DTC Detection Condition |
Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
|
P0979 |
ECM detects short in solenoid valve S3 circuit 2 times when solenoid valve S3 is operated (1 trip detection logic) |
|
|
P0980 |
ECM detects open in solenoid valve S3 circuit 2 times when solenoid valve S3 is not operated (1 trip detection logic) |
|
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
These DTCs indicate an open or short in the shift solenoid valve S3 circuit. 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. When the shift solenoid valve S3 is ON, if its resistance is 8 Ω or less, the ECM determines there is a short in the shift solenoid valve S3 circuit.
When the shift solenoid valve S3 is OFF, if its resistance is 100 kΩ or more, the ECM determines there is an open in the shift solenoid valve S3 circuit

3. |
INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE S3 |
|
(a) Remove the shift solenoid valve S3. |
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
|
Tester Connection |
Condition |
Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
|
