LINE : Line pressure

CPCA: A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A pressure

CPCB: A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve B pressure

CPCC: A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C pressure

CPCD: A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve D pressure

Shift solenoid valve A is installed on the transmission housing. It is controlled by the ON/OFF signal from the powertrain control module (PCM) to apply line pressure to shift valve A. A signal from the PCM is output to apply A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve pressure to the correct gear clutch according to the shift schedule. When the signal to shift solenoid valve A from the PCM is on, and the line pressure is applied to shift valve A, it operates against the shift valve A spring. When the signal to shift solenoid valve A from the PCM is off, and the line pressure is discharged, shift valve A is inactive. The PCM monitors the input shaft (mainshaft) speed and the output shaft (countershaft) speed according to the shift status determined by the shift schedule, and monitors the transmission fluid pressure switch according to the shift status determined by the shift schedule. When an improper gear ratio is output for the shift schedule or when the wrong transmission fluid pressure switch is on for the shift schedule, the PCM detects a shift solenoid valve A stuck on failure and stores a DTC.

[ ]: HDS Parameter

Malfunction Threshold 

One of these conditions occurs:

Symptom 1 

Symptom Gear position commanded by the PCM Actual gear position
1 Driving in 4th gear Neutral

Symptom 2 

Symptom Gear position commanded by the PCM Actual gear position
2 4th -> 5th gear upshift Turn on transmission fluid pressure switch A (2nd clutch) when upshifting to 4th -> 5th gear

Symptom 3 

Symptom Gear position commanded by the PCM Actual gear position
3 6th -> 5th gear downshift Turn on transmission fluid pressure switch A (2nd clutch) when downshifting to 6th -> 5th gear

Possible Cause 

NOTE:  The causes shown may not be a complete list of all potential problems, and it is possible that there may be other causes.

Confirmation Procedure 

Operating Condition 

With the HDS 

None.

Diagnosis Details 

Conditions for setting the DTC 

When a malfunction is detected during the first drive cycle, a Pending DTC is stored in the PCM memory. If the malfunction returns in the next (second) drive cycle, the MIL comes on and a Confirmed DTC and the freeze data are stored.

Conditions for clearing the DTC 

The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the battery.
