DTC P0733 | Gear 3 incorrect (incorrect gear ratio detected)
--- | ---
DETECTION CONDITION | • The TCM monitors revolution ratio of the forward clutch drum revolution to the secondary gear case revolution when the following monitoring conditions are met. If the revolution ratio is 0.863 or less, the TCM determines that there is a malfunction. Monitoring conditions: - Engine running - ATF temperature 20 °C {68 °F} or more - Driving in 3 GR in D or M range - Torque converter clutch (TCC) not operating - Turbine speed within 225-4,987 rpm - Secondary gear revolution speed 50 rpm or more - Differential gear case (output) revolution speed 35 rpm or more - None of the following DTCs are present: P0706, P0707, P0708, P0712, P0713, P0715, P0720, P0751, P0752, P0753, P0756, P0757, P0758, P0761, P0762, P0763, P0766, P0767, P0768, P0771, P0772, P0773, P0791 • The TCM monitors revolution ratio of the forward clutch drum revolution to the secondary gear case revolution when the following monitoring conditions are met. If the revolution ratio is 2.175 or more, the TCM determines that there is a malfunction. Monitoring conditions: - Engine running - ATF temperature 20 °C {68 °F} or more - Driving in 3 GR in D or M range - Turbine speed within 225-4,987 rpm - Secondary gear revolution speed 50 rpm or more - Differential gear case (output) revolution speed 35 rpm or more - None of the following DTCs are present: P0706, P0707, P0708, P0712, P0713, P0715, P0720, P0751, P0752, P0753, P0756, P0757, P0758, P0761, P0762, P0763, P0766, P0767, P0768, P0771, P0772, P0773, P0791 • The TCM monitors revolution ratio of the forward clutch drum revolution to the secondary gear case revolution when the following monitoring conditions are met. If the revolution ratio is within 1.345-1.644, the TCM determines that there is a malfunction. Monitoring conditions: - Engine running - ATF temperature 20 °C {68 °F} or more - Driving in 3 GR in D or M range - Torque converter clutch (TCC) not operating - Vehicle speed 26 km/h {16 mph} or more - Turbine speed within 225-4,987 rpm - Secondary gear revolution speed 50 rpm or more - Differential gear case (output) revolution speed 35 rpm or more - None of the following DTCs are present: P0706, P0707, P0708, P0712, P0713, P0715, P0720, P0751, P0752, P0753, P0756, P0757, P0758, P0761, P0762, P0763, P0766, P0767, P0768, P0771, P0772, P0773, P0791 Diagnostic support note: • This is a continuous monitor (CCM). • The MIL does not illuminate. • The AT warning light illuminates if the TCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle. • FREEZE FRAME DATA is not available. • A PENDING CODE is not available. • The DTC is stored in the TCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE | • ATF level low • Deteriorated ATF • Shift solenoids A or C stuck • Pressure control solenoid A stuck • Line pressure low 3-4 clutch slipping • Forward clutch slipping • Control valve stuck (Bypass, TCC or 3-4 shift valve) • Oil pump malfunction • TCM malfunction

Diagnostic procedure

STEP | INSPECTION | ACTION
--- | --- | ---
1 | VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY • Verify related Service Bulletins and/or on-line repair information availability. • Is any related repair information available? | Yes | Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information.
No | Go to the next step.
2 | INSPECT ATF CONDITION • Inspect the ATF condition. (See Automatic Transaxle Fluid (ATF) Condition Inspection.) • Is it normal? | Yes | Go to the next step.
No | Replace the ATF, then go to Step 8.
3 | INSPECT ATF LEVEL • Start the engine. • Warm up the ATX. • Is the ATF level within the specification? (See Automatic Transaxle Fluid (ATF) Level Inspection.) | Yes | Go to the next step.
No | Add ATF to the specified level, then go to Step 8. (See Automatic Transaxle Fluid (ATF) Level Inspection.)
4 | INSPECTION SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE A AND C FOR CLICK SOUND • Perform operation inspection. (See SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTION (PRIMARY CONTROL VALVE BODY) [FS5A-EL].) • Verify the click sound of shift solenoid A and C when applying B+ to each transaxle terminal. • Was a click heard from solenoids? | Yes | Go to the next step.
No | Replace the solenoid where you could not hear a click sound, then go to Step 8. (See SOLENOID VALVE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION (PRIMARY CONTROL VALVE BODY) [FS5A-EL].)
5 | INSPECT LINE PRESSURE • Start the engine. • Measure the line pressures. (See Line Pressure Test.) • Are the line pressures within the specifications? | Yes | Go to the next step.
No | All ranges: Replace the oil pump, then go to Step 8. Any ranges: Replace the primary control valve body, then go to Step 8. (See PRIMARY CONTROL VALVE BODY REMOVAL [FS5A-EL].) (See PRIMARY CONTROL VALVE BODY INSTALLATION [FS5A-EL].)
6 | INSPECT STALL SPEED • Measure the stall speed in D range. (See Stall Test.) • Is the stall speed within the specification? | Yes | Go to the next step.
No | Replace the automatic transaxle, then go to Step 8. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [FS5A-EL].)
7 | INSPECT FREQUENCY OF INPUT/TURBINE SPEED SENSOR WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE • Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. • Connect the WDS or equivalent. • Start the engine. • Measure the frequency of input/turbine speed sensor while driving vehicle under the following conditions: - Vehicle speed (VSS PID): 60 km/h {37 mph} - Drive in the D range, 3GR - Throttle opening angle (THOP PID): approx. 25% • Was the frequency of the input/turbine speed sensor at approx. 1,300 Hz? | Yes | Go to the next step.
No | Replace the primary control valve body, then go to the next step. (See PRIMARY CONTROL VALVE BODY REMOVAL [FS5A-EL].) (See PRIMARY CONTROL VALVE BODY INSTALLATION [FS5A-EL].)
8 | VERIFY REPAIR OF DTC P0733 • Make sure to reconnect all the disconnected connectors. • Clear the DTC using the WDS or equivalent. • Start the engine. • Warm up the transaxle. • Drive the vehicle under the following conditions for more than 2 s: - ATF temperature (TFT PID): 20 °C {68 °F} or more - Drive in the D range, 3GR - Vehicle speed (VSS PID): 4 km/h {3 mph} or more • Are any DTCs present? | Yes | Replace the TCM, then go to the next step. (See TCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [FS5A-EL].)
No | Go to the next step.
9 | VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE • Perform the "After Repair Procedure". (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE [FS5A-EL].) • Are any DTCs present? | Yes | Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
No | DTC troubleshooting completed.
