Toyota 4Runner: Pressure Control Solenoid "A" Performance (Shift Solenoid Valve SL1) (P0746,P0771)

Toyota 4Runner Service Manual / Drivetrain / A750e Automatic Transmission / Transaxle / Automatic Transmission System / Pressure Control Solenoid "A" Performance (Shift Solenoid Valve SL1) (P0746,P0771)

DESCRIPTION

The ECM uses signals from the output shaft speed sensor and input speed sensor to detect the actual gear position (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th gear).

Then the ECM compares the actual gear with the shift schedule in the ECM memory to detect mechanical problems of the shift solenoid valves, valve body or automatic transmission (clutch, brake, gear, etc.).

DTC Code

DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

P0746

The gear required by the ECM does not match the actual gear when driving (2-trip detection logic).

  • Shift solenoid valve SL1 remains closed
  • Shift solenoid valve SR remains open or closed
  • Valve body is blocked
  • Automatic transmission (clutch, brake, gear, etc.)

P0771

The gear required by the ECM does not match the actual gear when driving (2-trip detection logic).

  • Shift solenoid valve SR remains open or closed
  • Shift solenoid valve SL1 remains closed
  • Valve body is blocked
  • Automatic transmission (clutch, brake, gear, etc.)

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

These DTCs indicate a stuck ON malfunction or stuck OFF malfunction of the shift solenoid valves SR and SL1.

The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves ON/OFF. When the gear position commanded by the ECM and the actual gear position are not the same, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

Perform the universal trip to clear permanent DTCs (See page ).


1. ACTIVE TEST

HINT:

Using the Techstream to perform Active Tests allows relays, VSVs, actuators and other items to be operated without removing any parts. This non-intrusive functional inspection can be very useful because intermittent operation may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Performing Active Tests early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time. Data List information can be displayed while performing Active Tests.

(a) Warm up the engine.

(b) Turn the ignition switch off.

(c) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(d) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(e) Turn the Techstream on.

(f) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test.

(g) According to the display on the Techstream, perform the Active Test.

HINT:

While driving, the shift position can be forcibly changed with the Techstream.

Comparing the shift position commanded by the Active Test with the actual shift position enables you to confirm the problem (See page ).

HINT:

  • This test can be conducted when the vehicle speed is 50 km/h (31 mph) or less.
  • The 4th to 5th up-shift must be performed with the accelerator pedal released.
  • The 5th to 4th down-shift must be performed with the accelerator pedal released.
  • Do not operate the accelerator pedal for at least 2 seconds after shifting and do not shift successively.
  • The shift position commanded by the ECM is shown in the Data List display on the Techstream.
  • The shift solenoid valves SL1 and SR turn ON/OFF normally when the shift lever is in D.

PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SLT)

NOTICE:

  • Perform the test while the ATF temperature is 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F).
  • Be careful to prevent SST's hose from interfering with the exhaust pipe.
  • Perform the test with the A/C off.

HINT:

Using the Techstream to perform Active Tests allows relays, VSVs, actuators and other items to be operated without removing any parts. This non-intrusive functional inspection can be very useful because intermittent operation may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Performing Active Tests early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time. Data List information can be displayed while performing Active Tests.

(a) Remove the test plug from the transmission case and connect SST.


SST: 09992-00095

09992-00231

09992-00271

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(c) Start the engine and warm it up.

(d) Measure the line pressure with SST.

(e) Turn the Techstream on.

(f) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test.

(g) According to the display on the Techstream, perform the Active Test.

(h) Measure the line pressure.

Diagnostic Note

Activate the Solenoid (SLT)*

Operate shift solenoid SLT and raise line pressure

ON or OFF

HINT:

  • OFF: Line pressure up (when Active Test "Activate the Solenoid (SLT)" is performed, ECM commands SLT solenoid to turn OFF)
  • ON: No action (normal operation)

[Vehicle Condition]

  • Vehicle stopped.
  • Engine idling.

HINT:

*: Activate the Solenoid (SLT) in the Active Test is performed to check the line pressure changes by connecting SST to the automatic transmission, which is used in the Hydraulic Test (See page ) as well. Note
that the pressure values in the Active Test and Hydraulic Test are different.

OK:

The line pressure changes as specified when performing the Active Test.
