DTC P0734 [FN4A-EL]


DTC P0734	Gear 4 incorrect (Incorrect Gear Ratio Detected)
DETECTION CONDITION	• PCM monitors revolution ratio of forward clutch drum revolution to differential gear case revolution when the following monitoring conditions are met. If revolution ratio is below 0.6 or above 1.249, PCM determines that there is malfunction. Monitoring condition: - ATF temperature 20 °C {68 °F} or above. - Driving in 4 GR in D range. - Engine running. - Turbine speed within 225-4,988 rpm. - Vehicle speed 50 km/h {31 mph} or above. - Closed throttle position. - Differential gear case (output) revolution speed 35 rpm or above. - Any of the following not generated: DTC P0500, P0706, P0707, P0708, P0712, P0713, P0715, P0751, P0752, P0753, P0756, P0757, P0758, P0761, P0762, P0763, P0766, P0767, P0768, P0771, P0772, P0773. Diagnostic support note: • This is a continuous monitor (CCM). • MIL does not illuminate. • HOLD indicator light flashes if PCM detects the above malfunction condition during first drive cycle. • FREEZE FRAME DATA is not available. • Pending code is not available. • DTC stored in the PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE	• ATF level low • Deteriorated ATF • Shift solenoids A, B or C stuck • Pressure control solenoid stuck • Line pressure low 2-4 brake band slipping 3-4 clutch slipping • Forward clutch slipping • Control valve stuck (Bypass or 3-4 shift valve) • Oil pump • PCM malfunction


STEP	INSPECTION		ACTION
1	VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY • Check for related Service Bulletins availability. • Is any related repair information available?	Yes	Perform repair or diagnosis according to available repair information.
1		No	Go to next step.
2	CHECK ATF CONDITION • Check ATF condition. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) INSPECTION [FN4A-EL].) • Is it normal?	Yes	Go to next step.
2		No	Replace transaxle, then go to Step 8.
3	CHECK ATF LEVEL • Start engine. • Warm up ATX. • Is ATF level within specification? (See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) INSPECTION [FN4A-EL].)	Yes	Go to next step.
3		No	Adjust ATF level, then go to Step 8.
4	INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE A AND D FOR CLICK SOUND • Perform inspection of operation. (See SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTION [FN4A-EL].) • Verify the click sound of shift solenoids A and D when applying B+ to each transaxle connector terminal. Note • Click from solenoid D is barely audible. Remove solenoids to correctly inspect if necessary. • Was click heard from solenoids?	Yes	Go to next step.
4		No	Replace solenoid that you could not hear click sound from, then go to Step 8. (See SOLENOID VALVE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [FN4A-EL].)
5	INSPECT LINE PRESSURE • Start engine. • Measure line pressures. Specification D, S, L range Idle: 330-470 kPa {3.4-4.7 kgf/cm², 48-68 psi} Stall: 1,030-1,190 kPa {10.5-12.1 kgf/cm², 150-172 psi} R position Idle: 490-710 kPa {5.0-7.2 kgf/cm², 71-102 psi} Stall: 1,700-2,050 kPa {17.4-20.9 kgf/cm², 247-297 psi} • Is line pressure within specification? (See Line Pressure Test.)	Yes	Go to next step.
5		No	All ranges: Replace oil pump, then go to Step 8. Any ranges: Replace control valve body, then go to Step 8. (See CONTROL VALVE BODY REMOVAL [FN4A-EL], CONTROL VALVE BODY INSTALLATION [FN4A-EL].)
6	INSPECT STALL SPEED • Measure stall speed in D range. (See Stall Test.) Specification 2,000-2,600 rpm • Is stall speed within specification?	Yes	Go to next step.
6		No	Replace automatic transaxle, then go to Step 8. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [FN4A-EL].)
7	INSPECT FREQUENCY OF INPUT/TURBINE SPEED SENSOR WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE • Turn the ignition switch off. • Connect WDS or equivalent. • Start engine. • Measure frequency of input/turbine speed sensor while driving vehicle under the following conditions: - Vehicle speed (VSS PID): 80 km/h {49 mph} - Drive in D range, 4th gear - Throttle opening angle (TP PID): about 25% • Was frequency of input/turbine speed sensor at approx. 1,200 Hz?	Yes	Go to next step.
7		No	Replace control valve body, then go to next step. (See CONTROL VALVE BODY REMOVAL [FN4A-EL], CONTROL VALVE BODY INSTALLATION [FN4A-EL].)
8	VERIFY REPAIR OF DTC P0732 • Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors. • Clear DTC using WDS or equivalent. • Start engine. • Warm up transaxle. • Drive vehicle under the following conditions for more than 5 s. - ATF temperature: 20 °C {68 °F} or above - Drive in D range, 4th gear - Throttle opening angle (TP PID): 0% - Vehicle speed (VSS PID): 50 km/h {31 mph} or above • Are any DTCs present?	Yes	Replace PCM, then go to next step. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
8		No	Go to next step.
9	VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE • Are any DTCs present? • Perform "After Repair Procedure". (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE [FN4A-EL].)	Yes	Go to applicable DTC inspection.
9		No	Troubleshooting completed.
