DTC

P275600

Torque Converter Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Control Circuit Performance/Stuck Off

DTC

P27567E

Torque Converter Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Control Actuator Stuck On

DESCRIPTION

Using the current from the TCM, the shift solenoid valve SLU controls the lock-up clutch pressure, and performs lock-up and flex lock-up control.

The TCM compares the engagement condition of the lock-up clutch with the lock-up schedule in the TCM memory to detect mechanical malfunctions of the shift solenoid valve SLU, transmission valve body assembly and torque converter assembly.

DTC No.

Torque Converter Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Control Circuit Performance/Stuck Off

When the TCM commands lock-up ON, the difference between the engine speed (NE) and transmission revolution sensor (NT) signal is 250 rpm or more for 1 second or more (2-trip detection logic).

  • Transmission valve body assembly (Shift solenoid valve SLU)
  • Continuously variable transaxle assembly
  • Torque converter assembly

P27567E

Torque Converter Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Control Actuator Stuck On

When the TCM commands lock-up OFF, the difference between the engine speed (NE) and transmission revolution sensor (NT) signal is less than 25 rpm for 1 second or more (1-trip detection logic).

  • Transmission valve body assembly (Shift solenoid valve SLU)
  • Continuously variable transaxle assembly
  • Torque converter assembly

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

When performing lock-up control (ON/OFF) of the torque converter assembly, the TCM compares the transmission revolution sensor (NT) signal and engine speed (NE) signal to detect mechanical malfunctions in the shift solenoid valves SLU.

If the torque converter does not lock-up while a lock-up ON command is being sent, the TCM detects it as a mechanical malfunction of the shift solenoid valve SLU.

If the difference between the engine speed (NE) signal and transmission revolution sensor (NT) signal is outside of the threshold, the TCM detects the malfunction, illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.
