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 ECM, the shift solenoid valve SLU controls the B1 brake when the shift lever is in R, and controls the lock-up clutch pressure and performs lock-up and flex lock-up control when the shift lever is in D, M*1 or B*2.

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

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

When the ECM commands lock-up ON, the difference between the engine speed (NE) and transmission revolution sensor (NT) signal is 250 rpm or more for 2 seconds 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 ECM 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 ECM 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 ECM 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 ECM detects the malfunction, illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.
