AB60E AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM: P0973,P0974: Shift Solenoid "A" Control Circuit Low (Shift Solenoid Valve S1)
P0974 - Shift Solenoid "A" Control Circuit High (Shift Solenoid Valve S1)

DESCRIPTION

Shifting from 1st to 6th is performed in combination with ON and OFF operation of the shift solenoid valves SL1, SL2, S1, S2, S3, S4 and SR, which are controlled by the ECM. If an open or short circuit occurs in any of the shift solenoid valves, the ECM controls the remaining normal shift solenoid valves to allow the vehicle to be operated safely. Also, the ECM stops sending the current to the open or short circuited solenoid .





MONITOR DESCRIPTION

These DTCs indicate an open or short in the shift solenoid valve S1 circuit. When there is an open or short circuit in any shift solenoid valve circuit, the ECM detects the problem, illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC. When the shift solenoid valve S1 is ON, if its resistance is 8 Ohms or less, the ECM determines there is a short in the shift solenoid valve S1 circuit.

When the shift solenoid valve S1 is OFF, if its resistance is 100 kOhms or more, the ECM determines there is an open in the shift solenoid valve S1 circuit .

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
Perform the universal trip to clear permanent DTCs .

HINT
The shift solenoid valve S1 is turned ON/OFF normally when the shift lever is on D:





PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT NO. 1 TRANSMISSION WIRE (SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE S1)

(a) Disconnect the D63 No. 1 transmission wire connector.





(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard resistance:





NG -- INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE S1
OK -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (NO. 1 TRANSMISSION WIRE - ECM)





(a) Disconnect the D74 ECM connector.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard resistance:





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

OK -- REPLACE ECM Removal

3. INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE S1

(a) Remove shift solenoid valve S1.





(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard resistance:





(c) Connect the battery's positive (+) lead to the terminal of the solenoid valve connector, and the negative (-) lead to the solenoid valve body. Then check that the valve moves and makes an operating noise.

OK:

Valve moves and makes an operating noise.

NG -- REPLACE SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE S1

OK -- REPAIR OR REPLACE NO. 1 TRANSMISSION WIRE
