P0778 |
Pressure Control Solenoid "B" Electrical (Shift Solenoid Valve SL2) |
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 are controlled by the ECM. If an open or short circuit occurs in one of the shift solenoid valves, the ECM controls the remaining normal shift solenoid valves to allow the vehicle to be operated smoothly

HINT: SL2 output signal duty is less than 100% under normal condition. |

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 and illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC. The ECM performs the fail-safe function and turns the other shift solenoid valves in good condition "ON/OFF". (In case of an open or short circuit, the ECM stops sending current to the circuit.)
While driving and shifting gears, if the ECM detects an open or short in the shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit, the ECM determines there is a malfunction

|
3. |
INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SL2 |
|
(a) Remove the shift solenoid valve SL2. |
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
|
Tester Connection |
Condition |
Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
|
1 - 2 |
20°C (68°F) |

(c) Connect the battery positive (+) lead with a 21 W bulb to terminal 1 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 2 of the solenoid valve connector. Then check that the valve moves and makes an operating noise.
OK:
Valve moves and makes an operating noise.
