Code No. Solenoid Assy Malfunction Probable cause
[Comment]
Background
lThe transaxle control module monitors the torque co nverter clutch solenoid, shift control
solenoid and pressure control solenoid.
lWhen some one of these solenoids has failed, the tr ansaxle control module inputs these
failure signals to the engine control module.
Check Area, Judgement Criteria

[Comment]
Background
lThe transaxle control module uses the engine coolan t temperature which is input from
the engine control module to carry out shift contro l.
lIf no engine coolant temperature signal is input from the engine control module, the transaxlecontrol module sends a trouble code to the engine c ontrol module.

Judgement Criteria
l Transaxle control module (TCM) communication line t rouble signal (engine coolant

is not being input from engine control module) is input to the engine
control module (ECM).
Probable cause
lOpen or short circuit in communication linebetween engine control module and control module, or poor connector contactl Transaxle control module l Engine control module failed.

Symptom
The starter is usedto crank the engine, but there is no combustion wit hin the
cylinders, and the engine won’t start.
There is combustion within the cylinders, but then the engine
Engine starts after cranking a while.
Engine speed doesn’t remain constant; changes at id le.
Usually, a judgement can be based upon the movement of the tachometer
pointer, and the vibration transmitted to the steer ing wheel,
lever, body,
etc. This is called rough idle.
The engine doesn’t idle at the usual correct speed.
The engine stalls when the foot is taken from the
pedal, regardless
of whether the vehicle is moving or not.
The engine stalls when the accelerator pedal is dep ressed or being
used.
“Hesitation” is the delay in response of the vehicle speed (engine speed) that
occurs when the accelerator is depressed in order t o, accelerate from the
speed at which the vehicle is now traveling, or a drop in
speed (engine speed) during such acceleration.
Serious hesitation is called to
Poor acceleration is inability to obtain an acceleration corresponding to the
degree of throttle opening, even though acceleratio n is smooth, or the
to reach maximum speed.
Engine speed increase is delayed when the pedal is initially
depressed for
to
The feeling of a comparatively large impact or when the engine is
accelerated or decelerated.
This is slight acceleration and deceleration feel u sually at steady, light
throttle cruise. Most notable under light loads.
A sharp sound like a hammer striking the cylinder w alls during driving
which adversely affects driving.
The condition in which the engine continues to run after
ignition switch
turned to OFF. Also called “Dieseling”.
