DTC P0969 [SJ6A-EL]

id050208811500

DTC P0969

Shift solenoid F range/performance (stuck)

DETECTION CONDITION

•  Feedback current corresponding to solenoid current command value is irregular when engine is running.

Diagnostic support note:

•  The MIL illuminates if the TCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle.

•  The AT warning light illuminates if the TCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle.

•  PENDING CODE is not available.

•  FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.

•  The DTC is stored in the TCM memory.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

•  Deteriorated ATF

•  ATF level low

•  Line pressure low

―  Oil pump malfunction

―  Shift solenoid F stuck

―  Transmission malfunction

•  TCM malfunction

Diagnostic procedure

STEP	INSPECTION		ACTION
1	VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA HAS BEEN RECORDED • Has the FREEZE FRAME DATA been recorded on the repair order?	Yes	Go to the next step.
1		No	Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA on the repair order, then go to the next step.
2	VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY • Verify related service repair information availability. • Is any related repair information available?	Yes	Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information. • If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
2		No	Go to the next step.
3	INSPECT ATF CONDITION • Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. • Inspect the ATF condition. ― Clear red: Normal ― Light red (pink): Water mixed in fluid ― Reddish brown: Deteriorated ATF • Is it normal? (See AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (ATF) INSPECTION [SJ6A-EL].)	Yes	Go to the next step.
3		No	If the ATF color is light red or reddish brown, replace ATF, then go to Step 6. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (ATF) REPLACEMENT [SJ6A-EL].)
4	INSPECT ATF LEVEL • Start the engine. • Warm up the AT. • Is the ATF level within the specification? (See AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (ATF) LEVEL ADJUSTMENT [SJ6A-EL].)	Yes	Go to the next step.
4		No	Add ATF to the specified level, then go to Step 6. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (ATF) LEVEL ADJUSTMENT [SJ6A-EL].)
5	INSPECT LINE PRESSURE • Start the engine. • Measure the line pressure. (See MECHANICAL SYSTEM TEST [SJ6A-EL].) • Are the line pressures within the specifications?	Yes	Go to the next step.
5		No	• All ranges: Replace the oil pump or control valve body, then go to the next step. • Any ranges: Replace the AT, then go the next step. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SJ6A-EL].)
6	VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P0969 COMPLETED • Make sure to reconnect all the disconnected connectors. • Clear the DTC using the M-MDS. • Perform the following procedure to ensure that the DTC has been resolved: 1. Start the engine. 2. Warm-up the engine and transmission. 3. Drive the vehicle in D range and make sure that the gears shift smoothly from 1GR to 6GR. • Is the same DTC present?	Yes	Replace the TCM, then go to the next step. (See TCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SJ6A-EL].)
6		No	Go to the next step.
7	VERIFY NO DTC HAS BEEN PRESENTED • Perform the “Reading DTCs Procedure”. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION [SJ6A-EL].) • Are any DTCs present?	Yes	Go to the applicable DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE [SJ6A-EL].)
7		No	DTC troubleshooting completed.
