(b) Clear the DTC.
The following actions will erase the DTCs and
freezed frame data.
Operating the OBDII scan tool (complying with SAE
J1978) or TOYOTA hand−held tester to erase the
codes (See the TOYOTA hand−held tester or OBD
II scan tool’s instruction book for operating instruc-
tions.).
NOTICE:
If the TOYOTA hand−held tester switches the ECM from the
normal mode to the check mode or vice−versa, or if the
ignition switch is turned from ON to ACC or OFF during the
check mode, the DTCs and freezed frame data will be
erased.
(c) Inspect the DLC3.
The vehicle’s ECM uses V.P.W. (Variable Pulse Width) for
communication to comply with SAE J1850. The terminal
arrangement of DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and
matches the V.P.W. format.

HINT:
If your display shows ”UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE”
when you have connected the cable of the OBD II scan tool or
TOYOTA hand−held tester to the DLC3, turned the ignition
switch ON and operated the scan tool, there is a problem on the
vehicle side or tool side.
If communication is normal when the tool is connected to
another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 on the original vehicle.
If communication is still not possible when the tool is con-
nected to another vehicle, the problem is probably in the
tool itself, so consult the Service Department listed in the
tool’s instruction manual.

DTC P0750, P0755 Shift Solenoid A/B Malfunction
(Shift Solenoid Valve No. 1 / No. 2)
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses signals from the vehicle speed sensor to detect the actual gear position (1st, 2nd, 3rd or O/D
gear). The ECM then compares the actual gear with the shift schedule in the ECM memory to detect mechan-
ical trouble of the shift solenoid valves and valve body.
DTC No.DTC Detecting ConditionTrouble Area
P0750
P0755During normal driving, the gear required by the ECM does not
match the actual gear (2 trip detection logic)Shift solenoid valve No. 1 / No. 2 is stuck open or closed
Valve body is blocked up or stuck
HINT:
Check the shift solenoid valve No. 1 when DTC P0750 is output and check shift solenoid valve No. 2 when
DTC P0755 is output.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check shift solenoid valve No. 1 or No. 2 operation.
PREPARATION:
(a) Remove the oil pan.
(b) Remove the shift solenoid valve No. 1 or No. 2.
CHECK:
(a) Applying 490 kPa (5 kgf/cm2, 71 psi) of compressed air,
check that the shift solenoid valves do not leak air.
(b) When battery positive voltage is supplied to the shift sole-
noid valves, check they open.
NG Replace shift solenoid valve No. 1 or No. 2.
OK
2 Check valve body (See page DI−141).
NG Repair or replace valve body.
OK
Repair transaxle (See page AX−15).

DTC P0770 Shift Solenoid E Malfunction
(Shift Solenoid Valve SL)
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses signals from the throttle position sensor, air−flow
meter and crankshaft position sensor to monitor the engage-
ment condition of the lock−up clutch.
Then the ECM compares the engagement condition of the
lock−up clutch with the lock−up schedule in the ECM memory
to detect mechanical trouble of the shift solenoid valve SL,
valve body and torque converter clutch.

(5) See page DI−189 to confirm the details of the
DTCs.
NOTICE:
When simulating symptoms with an OBD II scan tool (ex-
cluding TOYOTA hand−held tester) to check the DTCs, use
the normal mode. For codes on the DTC chart subject to ”2
trip detection logic”, turn the ignition switch off after the
symptoms have been simulated for the first time. Then re-
peat the simulation process again. When the program has
been simulated twice, the MIL lights up and the DTCs are
recorded in the ECM.
3. Check Mode:
INSPECT DIAGNOSIS
HINT:
TOYOTA hand−held tester only:
Compared to the normal mode, the check mode has high sens-
ing ability to detect malfunctions.
Furthermore, the same diagnostic items which are detected in
the normal mode can also be detected in the check mode.
(a) Check the DTC.
(1) Initial conditions.
Battery positive voltage 11 V or more.
Throttle valve fully closed
Transaxle in the PARK position
Air conditioning switched off
(2) Prepare the TOYOTA hand−held tester.
(3) Connect the TOYOTA hand−held tester to the
DLC3.
(4) Turn the ignition switch ON and switch the TOYOTA
hand−held tester ON.
(5) Switch the TOYOTA hand−held tester from the nor-
mal mode to the check mode (Check that the MIL
flashes.).
(6) Start the engine (The MIL goes off after the engine
start.).
(7) Simulate the conditions of the malfunction de-
scribed by the customer.
NOTICE:
Leave the ignition switch ON until you have checked the
DTCs, etc.
(8) After simulating the malfunction conditions, use the
TOYOTA hand−held tester diagnosis selector to
check the DTCs and freezed frame data, etc.
HINT:
Take care not to turn the ignition switch OFF. Turning the ignition
switch off switches the diagnosis system from check mode to
normal mode, so all DTCs, etc. are erased.
(9) After checking the DTC, inspect the applicable cir-
cuit.

CAUTION:
Perform the test at normal operating ATF temperature 50 − 80°C (122 − 176°F).
The line pressure test should always be carried out in parts. One should observe the conditions
of wheels or wheel stopper outside the vehicle while the other is performing the test.
(b) Measure the line pressure.
(1) Fully apply the parking brake and chock the 4 wheels.
(2) Start the engine and check idling speed.
(3) Step down strongly on the brake pedal with your left foot and shift into the D position.
(4) Measure the line pressure when the engine is idling speed.
(5) Press the accelerator pedal all the way down. Quickly read the highest line pressure when engine
speed reaches stall speed.
(6) Only when the shift solenoid valve ST is opened:
Apply battery positive voltage between terminal of the solenoid connector and body ground.
(7) In the same way, perform the test in the R position.

10. Center Differential Control Clutch:
HYDRAULIC TEST
(a) Preparation.
(1) Warm up the ATF.
(2) Remove the test plug and connect SST (See page AX−18 for the location to connect SST).
SST SST 09992−00094 (09992−00111)
CAUTION:
Perform the test at normal operating ATF temperature 50 − 80°C (122 − 176°F)
The line pressure test should always be carried out in pairs. One should observe the conditions
of wheels or wheel stoppers outside the vehicle while the other is performing the test.
(b) Measure the center differential clutch control pressure.
(1) Start the vehicle and open the accelerator open 50 % or more and check that the center differen-
tial clutch control pressure is in the range from more than 294 kPa (3.0 kgf/cm
2, 42 psi).
(2) Fully close the accelerator and check that the SST registers 9.8 kPa (0.1 kgf/cm
2, 1.4 psi) or less.
CAUTION:
Confirm safety of the road before checking.
Take care to avoid slip when you start the vehicle on a paved road.
Check the pressure at normal driving ATF temperature 50 − 80°C (122 − 176°F).
Reference:
To measure center differential control pressure to be measured with the solenoid opened by applying voltage
to it, refer to the following:
Prepare a sub−assembly for checking as follows:
Prepare a supply connector (Part No. 90980−10629, or 90980−11143)
Connect a harness of 2 − 3 m (6.6 − 9.8 ft) to terminal 1 of the connector.
Place a bulb of 24W in between the harness.
Connect a harness of 2 − 3 m (6.6 − 9.8 ft) to terminal 3 of the connector.
Connect the inspection’s sub−harness assembly to the solenoid connector of the transfer.
Connect terminal 1 of the sub−harness to the battery’s positive (+) terminal, and terminal 3 of the sub−
harness to the battery’s negative (−) terminal.
Measure the center differential control pressure at idling and when performing the stall test (When 1st
gear).

11. MANUAL SHIFTING TEST
HINT:
With this test, it can be determined whether the trouble is within
the electrical circuit or is a mechanical problem in the transaxle.
(a) Disconnect the solenoid wire.
(b) Inspect the manual driving operation.
Check that the shift and gear positions correspond with
the table below.
