DTC TROUBLESHOOTING CHART

Step Action YES NO
Was "A/T System Check" performed?  Go to Step 2. Go to A/T SYSTEM CHECK .
Check shift solenoid valve circuit for power supply short 
  1. Disconnect TCM connectors.
  2. Check for proper connection to TCM at terminal "E92-16" (for shift solenoid valve-A), "E92-15" (for shift solenoid valve-B).
  3. If connection is OK, turn ignition switch ON and measure voltage between terminal "E92-16" (for shift solenoid valve-A), "E92-15" (for shift solenoid valve-B) of disconnected harness side TCM connector and ground.

Is it 0 - 2 V? 
Go to Step 3. DTC P0974: Shift solenoid valve-A circuit is shorted to power supply circuit. DTC P0977: Shift solenoid valve-B circuit is shorted to power supply circuit.
Check solenoid valve circuit for open 
  1. Check continuity between terminal "E92- 16" (for shift solenoid valve-A) or "E92- 15" (for shift solenoid valve-B) of disconnected harness side TCM connector and ground.

Is it infinity? 
  • DTC P0974: Shift solenoid valve-A circuit is open circuit.
  • DTC P0977: Shift solenoid valve-B circuit is open circuit.
  • If circuit is OK, go to Step 4.
Go to Step 4.
Check solenoid valve 
  1. Check solenoid valve referring to SOLENOID VALVES (SHIFT SOLENOID-A, SHIFT SOLENOID-B, TCC PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID AND PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID) INSPECTION .

Is check results satisfactory? 
Intermittent trouble or faulty TCM. Check for intermittent trouble referring to INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTION INSPECTION . If OK, substitute a known-good TCM and recheck. Replace defective solenoid valve referring to SOLENOID VALVES (SHIFT SOLENOID-A, SHIFT SOLENOID-B, TCC PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID AND PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID) REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
