NO.12 TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC) NON-OPERATION [FN4A-EL]

id050301801700

12

Torque converter clutch (TCC) non-operation

DESCRIPTION

•  TCC does not operate when vehicle reaches TCC operation range.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

•  Basically, the TCC does not operate when the fail-safe is operating. Verify the DTC first.

Caution

•  If the TCC is stuck, inspect it. In addition, inspect the oil cooler for foreign particles which may have mixed in with the ATF.

1.  TCC burned

(1) Input sensor system malfunction

•  TFT sensor

•  Vehicle speed sensor

•  Input/turbine speed sensor

•  Sensor GND

(2) Output solenoid valve system malfunction (Sticking)

•  Shift solenoid E malfunction

•  Shift solenoid A malfunction

(3) Control valve body malfunction system (Poor operation, stuck)

•  TCC hydraulic pressure system

2.  Accelerator pedal position sensor malfunction (Not operation liner)

3.  Input/turbine speed sensor or vehicle speed sensor malfunction

4.  Brake switch No.1 malfunction (Always ON)

5.  ECT sensor malfunction

6.  Excessive amount of ATF

Note

•  Before following troubleshooting steps, make sure that Automatic Transaxle On-Board Diagnostic and Automatic Transaxle Basic Inspection are conducted.

Diagnostic procedure

STEP	INSPECTION		ACTION
1	With ignition switch at ON, does HOLD indicator light indication correspond to HOLD switch operation?	Yes	Go to next step.
1		No	Go to No.26 “HOLD INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN HOLD SWITCH IS TURNED ON.”, No.27 “HOLD INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATES WHEN HOLD SWITCH IS NOT TURNED ON.”
2	Check the value at the following PIDs using the M-MDS. (See PCM INSPECTION [MZR 1.3, MZR 1.5].) • APP • VSS • TSS Are PID values okay?	Yes	Go to next step.
2		No	Repair or replace any defective parts.
3	Disconnect PCM connector. Is resistance between GND terminal at PCM connector and body GND less than 5.0 ohms?	Yes	Go to next step.
3		No	Repair open GND circuit.
4	Check resistance between shift solenoid A and E control circuit at PCM connector and control valve body connector. Are the resistances less than 5.0 ohms?	Yes	Go to next step.
4		No	Repair shift solenoid A or E control circuit. Reconnect PCM and control valve body connectors.
5	Inspect shift solenoid A and E. (See SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTION [FN4A-EL].) Are the shift solenoids operating properly?	Yes	Replace PCM.
5		No	Overhaul control valve body and repair or replace any defective parts. If problem remains, overhaul transaxle and repair or replace any defective parts.
6	• Verify test results. ― If okay, return to diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms. ― If malfunction remains, inspect related Service informations and perform repair or diagnosis. • If vehicle not repaired, trouble shooting completed. • If vehicle not repaired or additional diagnostic information not available, replace PCM.
