Title: U660F (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION / TRANSAXLE): AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM: P0778; Pressure Control Solenoid "B" Electrical (Shift Solenoid Valve SL2); 2016 MY Sienna [12/2015 - 08/2016]

DTC

P0778

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

DESCRIPTION

Changing from 1st to 6th is performed by the TCM turning shift solenoid valves SL1, SL2, SL3, SL4 and SL on and off. If an open or short circuit occurs in any of the shift solenoid valves, the TCM controls the remaining normal shift solenoid valves to allow the vehicle to be operated (See page 2016 MY Sienna [12/2015 - 08/2016]; U660F (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION / TRANSAXLE): AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM: FAIL-SAFE CHART ).

DTC No.

DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

P0778

An open or short circuit (output signal duty is 0% or 100%) is detected by the TCM in the shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit while driving and shifting gears (SL2 output signal duty is more than 3% and less than 100% under normal conditions) (1-trip detection logic).

  • Open or short in shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit
  • Shift solenoid valve SL2
  • Transmission wire
  • TCM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

This DTC indicates an open or short in the shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit. The TCM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves on or off. When there is an open or short circuit in any of the shift solenoid valve circuits, the TCM detects the problem and illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC. The TCM also performs the fail-safe function and turns the other normal shift solenoid valves on or off. (In case of an open or short circuit, the TCM stops sending current to the circuit.)

While driving and shifting gears, if the TCM detects an open or short in the shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit, the TCM determines there is a malfunction (See page 2016 MY Sienna [12/2015 - 08/2016]; U660F (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION / TRANSAXLE): AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM: FAIL-SAFE CHART ).
