Troubleshooting Flowchart — A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve
• OBD II Scan Tool indicates Code
P0748.
• Self-diagnosis indicator light
indicates Code 16.
Measure A/T clutch pressure con-
trol solenoid valve Resistance at
Solenoid Connector:
1. Disconnect the shift solenoid
valve/A/T clutch pressure con-
trol solenoid valve harness 4P
connector.
2. Measure the resistance of the
A/T clutch pressure control
solenoid valve.
Is the resistance approx. 5 ?
YES
Check A/T Clutch Pressure
Control Solenoid Valve for a
Short Circuit:
1. Disconnect the E (26P) con-
nector from the PCM.
2. Check for continuity between
body ground and the E16 termi-
nal and E3 terminal individually.
Is there continuity?
NO
Measure A/T Clutch Pressure
Control Solenoid Valve Resistance:
1. Connect the shift solenoid
valve/A/T clutch pressure con-
trol solenoid valve harness 4P
connector.
2. Measure the resistance
between the E16 and E3 ter-
minals.
Is the resistance approx. 5 ?
YES
Check the VB SOL Voltage:
1. Disconnect the A (26P) and E
(26P) connectors from the
PCM.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
3. Measure the voltage between
the E1 and A26 terminals.
Is there voltage?
YES
Check for loose PCM connectors.
If necessary, substitute a known-
good PCM and recheck.
Possible Cause
• Disconnected A/T clutch pres-
sure control solenoid valve con-
nector
• Short or open in A/T clutch
pressure control solenoid valve
wire
• Faulty A/T clutch pressure con-
trol solenoid valve
• Open VB SOL line
Replace the A/T clutch pressure
control solenoid valve.
Repair short in the wires
between the E16 and E3 termi-
nals and the A/T clutch pressure
control solenoid valve.
Repair loose terminal or open in
the wires between the E16 and E3
terminals and the A/T clutch pres-
sure control solenoid valve.
Check for open in the wire
between the E1 terminal and the
under-hood fuse/relay box.ProCarManuals.com
Troubleshooting Precautions
ABS Indicator Light:
The ABS indicator light comes on for 3 seconds and then goes off when the control unit detects no problem during the ini-
tial diagnosis right after the engine starts. However, the ABS indicator light can stay on for up to 40 seconds when the
control unit starts to check for pump overrun, etc. during the initial diagnosis. The ABS indicator light comes on, and the
ABS control unit memorizes the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) under certain conditions.
The parking brake is applied for more than 30 seconds while the vehicle is being driven. (DTC 2-1)
The transmission downshifted excessively. (DTC 4-1, 4-2)
The vehicle loses traction, and the front wheels spin for more than 1 minute when starting from a stuck condition on a
muddy, snowy, or sandy road. (DTC 4-8)
Tire adhesion is lost due to excessive cornering speed. (DTC 5, 5-4, 5-8)
The vehicle is driven on an extremely rough road. (DTC 8-1)
The vehicle is interfered by strong radio waves (noise), for example, illegal radio, etc. (DTC 8-2)
NOTE: If there is any trouble in the system, the ABS indicator light comes on during driving.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC):
When the control unit detects a problem and the ABS indicator light comes on, the control unit memorizes the DTC.
The control unit has three memory registers. When a problem occurs, the control unit stores the DTC in the first memory
register. If another problem occurs, or the same problem occurs again, the control unit moves the first DTC to the next
memory register, and stores the second DTC in the first register. If there's a third problem occurrence, the two existing
DTCs are moved up one register, and the third DTC is stored in the first register. If problems continue to occur, the oldest
problem is moved out of the last register and lost, and the most recent problem is stored in the first register. When the
same problem occurs three times, the same DTC is stored in all memory registers. (Refer to the Symptom-to-System
Chart for diagnostic period.)
The most recent DTC is indicated first, and the oldest DTC is indicated last.
The DTCs are erased from the control unit when the ABS control unit +B2 power supply or connector is disconnected.
The control unit's memory can be erased by disconnecting the ABS B2 fuse for more than 3 seconds.
Self-diagnosis:
There are three self-diagnoses described below.
Initial diagnosis: Performed right after the engine starts until the ABS indicator light goes off.
Regular diagnosis: Continuously performed (under some conditions) after the ABS indicator light goes off until the
engine stops.
Individual part/system diagnosis: Diagnosis about a specific part/system under its operating conditions.
The CPU (central processing unit) controls the following when it detects a problem during self-diagnosis:
Turns the ABS indicator light ON.
Turns the front and rear fail-safe relays off.
Stops the ABS control.
Stops the ABS pump. (The pump may work under some conditions.)
After the DTC is stored in the control unit, the CPU stops self-diagnosis.ProCarManuals.com
