Pressure Control Solenoid "B" Performance


DTC P0776
(Shift Solenoid Valve SL2)
DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses signals from the output shaft speed sensor and input speed sensor to detect the actual
gear position (1st, 2nd, 3rd or O/D 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 transaxle (clutch, brake, gear, etc.).
DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
P0776 Gear required by the ECM does not match the • Shift solenoid valve SL2 remains open
actual gear when driving (2 trip detection • Valve body is blocked
logic) • Automatic transaxle (clutch, brake, gear,
etc.)
• ECM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates a stuck ON malfunction or stuck OFF malfunction of the shift solenoid valve SL2.
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.

MONITOR STRATEGY

Required sensors/Components Shift solenoid valve SL2, Speed sensor (NT), Speed sensor (NO),
Crankshaft position sensor (NE)
Frequency of operation Continuous
Duration 0.8 sec.
MIL operation 2 driving cycles
Sequence of operation None

OFF malfunction or ON malfunction
2 detections are necessary per driving cycle:
1st detection: temporary flag ON
2nd detection: pending fault code ON
OFF malfunction
Input (turbine) speed/Intermediate shaft speed 0.93 to 1.07

ON malfunction
Input (turbine) speed/Intermediate shaft speed 1.49 to 1.63

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Performing the intelligent tester's ACTIVE TEST allows relay, VSV, actuator and other items to be
operated without removing any parts. Performing the ACTIVE TEST early in troubleshooting is one way to
save time.
The DATA LIST can be displayed during the ACTIVE TEST.
1. Warm up the engine.
2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
3. Connect the intelligent tester to the CAN VIM. Then connect the CAN VIM to the DLC3.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
5. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TEST.
6. Follow the instructions on the tester and perform the ACTIVE TEST.
HINT:
While driving, the shift position can be forcibly changed with the tester.
Comparing the shift position commanded by the ACTIVE TEST with the actual shift position enables you
to confirm the problem (see page AX-31).
Item Test Details Diagnostic Note
SHIFT [Test Details] Possible to check the operation of the shift
Operate the shift solenoid valve and set each solenoid valves
shift lever position by yourself
[Vehicle Condition]
• IDL: ON
• 50 km/h (31 mph) or less
[Other information]
• Press "→" button: Shift up
• Press "←" button: Shift down

HINT:
• This test can be conducted when the vehicle speed is 50 km/h (31 mph) or less.
• The shift position commanded by the ECM is shown in the DATA LIST/SHIFT display on the tester.

1 CHECK OTHER DTC OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0776)


AX (a) Connect the intelligent tester to the CAN VIM. Then
connect the CAN VIM to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.

(c) Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED


OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES.
(d) Read the DTCs using the tester.
Result
Display (DTC output) Proceed to
Only P0776 is output A
P0776 and other DTCs are output B

HINT:
If any other codes besides P0776 are output, perform
troubleshooting for those DTCs first.

2 INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SL2

(a) Remove the shift solenoid valve SL2.


(b) Measure the resistance of the solenoid valve.
1 2 Standard resistance:
5.0 to 5.6 Ωat 20°C (68°F)
(c) Connect the battery's positive (+) lead with a 21 W bulb
to terminal 2 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 1 of the
solenoid valve connector. Then check that the valve
moves and makes an operating noise.
OK:
Valve moves and makes operating noise.
