SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The TCM uses the vehicle speed signal and signals from the transmission speed sensors (NC, NT) to detect the actual gear (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th gear).

Then the TCM compares the actual gear with the shift schedule in the TCM memory to detect mechanical problems of the shift solenoid valves and valve body.

When the following is detected twice (2-trip detection logic): When 1st gear is commanded, 2nd gear is engaged.Shift solenoid valve SL3 remains open or closed. Valve body is blocked. Automatic transaxle (clutch, brake or gear etc.)

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The TCM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves on and off. According to the input shaft revolution (speed), intermediate (counter) shaft revolution (speed) and output shaft revolution (speed), the TCM detects the actual gear (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th gear). When the gear commanded by the TCM and the actual gear are not the same, the TCM illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.

The linear solenoid valve (SLT) controls the transmission line pressure for smooth transmission operation based on signals from the throttle position sensor and the vehicle speed sensor. The TCM adjusts the duty ratio* of the SLT solenoid valve to control hydraulic line pressure coming from the primary regulator valve. Appropriate line pressure assures smooth shifting with varying engine outputs.

*: Duty Ratio

The duty ratio is the ratio of the electrical current on time (A) to the total of the electrical current on and off time (A + B).

Duty Ratio (%) = (A / (A + B)) x 100

The TCM calculates the amount of clutch slip based on the turbine speed, output shaft speed, and gear ratio. If the amount of clutch slip exceeds a specified level, the TCM will set this DTC and illuminate the MIL.

When shift solenoid valve SLT remains on, the line pressure goes down and clutch engagement force decreases.

Note. If driving continues under these conditions, clutches will burn out and the vehicle will no longer be drivable.

Scheme 737

Scheme 737: SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

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

DTC No.DTC Detection ConditionTrouble Area
P2757When both of the following are detected (2-trip detection logic): Lock-up does not occur when requested. Transmission fluid pressure switch No. 3 is OFF. When both of the following are detected (2-trip detection logic): Transmission fluid pressure switch No. 3 is ON when lock-up does not occur. Lock-up occurs when shift solenoid valve SLU is requested to turn on in the lock-up range.Shift solenoid valve SLU remains open or closed Valve body is blocked Torque converter clutch Automatic transaxle (clutch, brake or gear, etc.) Line pressure is too low

Torque converter lock-up is controlled by the TCM based on the turbine (input) speed sensor NT, output speed sensor NC, engine rpm, engine load, engine temperature, vehicle speed, transmission fluid temperature, and gear selection. The TCM determines the lock-up status of the torque converter by comparing the engine rpm (NE) to the input turbine rpm (NT). The TCM calculates the actual transmission gear by comparing input turbine rpm (NT) to output shaft rpm (NC). When conditions are appropriate, the TCM requests "lock-up" by applying control voltage to shift solenoid SLU. When SLU is turned on, it applies pressure to the lock-up relay valve and locks the torque converter clutch.

If the TCM detects no lock-up after lock-up has been requested or if it detects lock-up when it is not requested, the TCM interprets this as a fault in shift solenoid valve SLU or lock-up system performance.

The TCM will turn on the MIL and store the DTC.

Example

When any of the following is met, the system judges it as a malfunction.

  1. There is a difference in rotation (speed) between the input side (engine speed) and output side (input turbine speed) of the torque converter when the TCM commands lock-up. (Engine speed is at least 70 rpm greater than input turbine speed.)
  2. There is no difference in rotation (speed) between the input side (engine speed) and output side (input turbine speed) of the torque converter when the TCM commands lock-up off. (The difference between engine speed and input turbine speed is less than 20 rpm.)

The TCM uses the signals from the throttle position sensor, air-flow meter, turbine (input) speed sensor, output speed sensor and crankshaft position sensor to monitor the engagement condition of the lock-up clutch.

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

Lock-up occurs when shift solenoid valve SLU is requested to turn on in the lock-up range.Shift solenoid valve SLU remains open or closed Valve body is blocked Torque converter clutch Automatic transaxle (clutch, brake or gear, etc.) Line pressure is too low

Torque converter lock-up is controlled by the TCM based on the turbine (input) speed sensor NT, output speed sensor NC, engine rpm, engine load, engine temperature, vehicle speed, transmission fluid temperature, and gear selection. The TCM determines the lock-up status of the torque converter by comparing the engine rpm (NE) to the input turbine rpm (NT). The TCM calculates the actual transmission gear by comparing input turbine rpm (NT) to output shaft rpm (NC). When conditions are appropriate, the TCM requests "lock-up" by applying control voltage to shift solenoid SLU. When SLU is turned on, it applies pressure to the lock-up relay valve and locks the torque converter clutch.

If the TCM detects no lock-up after lock-up has been requested or if it detects lock-up when it is not requested, the TCM interprets this as a fault in shift solenoid valve SLU or lock-up system performance.

The TCM will turn on the MIL and store the DTC.

  2. There is no difference in rotation (speed) between the input side (engine speed) and output side (input turbine speed) of the torque converter when the TCM commands lock-up off. (The difference between engine speed and input turbine speed is less than 20 rpm.)

The amount of current flow to the solenoid is controlled by the duty ratio* of the TCM output signal. The higher the duty ratio becomes, the higher the lock-up hydraulic pressure becomes during the lock-up operation.

Fail-safe function

If the TCM detects a malfunction, it turns shift solenoid valve SL off.

Standard Resistance Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition D2-8 (E1) - Body ground Always Below 1 ohms TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION *1 Front view of wire harness connector (to TCM) NG --> REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR OK: Go to next step
  2. INSPECT ECU TERMINAL VOLTAGE (+B TERMINAL) Disconnect the TCM connectors. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below. Standard Voltage Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition D2-18 (+B) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION *1 Front view of wire harness connector (to TCM) NG --> See step 3 OK --> See step 4
  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TCM - ENGINE ROOM JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY) Turn the engine switch off. Disconnect the TCM connector. Remove the EFI MAIN relay from the engine room relay block. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below. Standard Resistance (Check for Open) Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition D2-18 (+B) - 3 Always Below 1 ohms Standard Resistance (Check for Short) Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition D2-18 (+B) or 3 - Body ground Always 10 kohms or higher TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION *1 Front view of wire harness connector (to TCM) *2 Engine Room Relay Block *3 EFI MAIN Relay NG --> REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR OK --> See step 5
  4. PROCEED TO NEXT SUSPECTED AREA SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE. Refer to «PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE»(ref-400823-S27359834412011051800000)
  5. GO TO ECM POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT (ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM / SFI SYSTEM). Refer to «ECM Power Source Circuit»(ref-400785-S30420739032011051800000)

When the engine switch is turned to on (IG), voltage from the ECM's MREL terminal is applied to the EFI MAIN relay. This causes the contacts of the EFI MAIN relay to close, which supplies power to terminal +B of the TCM.
