DTC DETECTING CONDITION AND TROUBLE AREA
DTC DETECTING CONDITIONTROUBLE AREA
While running in D range, gear change control from
PCM to A / T does not agree with actual A / T gear posi-
tion even though solenoid valve is electrically in good
condition.
(A / T gear position is calculated based on engine
speed signal and vehicle speed sensor signal.)
(2 driving cycles detection logic)DTC P0751:

Shift solenoid valve-A stuck or leakage.

2-3 shift valve stuck.

Valve body fluid passage clogged.

Mechanical malfunction in transmission.
(Direct clutch malfunction)
DTC P0756:

Shift solenoid valve-B stuck or leakage.

1-2 shift valve stuck.

3-4 shift valve stuck.

Valve body fluid passage clogged.

Mechanical malfunction in transmission.
(2nd brake malfunction)
DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
WARNING:

When performing a road test, select a place where there is no traffic or possibility of a traffic accident
and be very careful during testing to avoid occurrence of an accident.

Road test should be carried out with 2 persons, a driver and a tester, on a level road.
1) Connect scan tool to DLC with ignition switch OFF.
2) Clear DTC, pending DTC and freeze frame data in PCM memory by using scan tool and check fuel level meter
indication is 1 / 4 or more.
3) Start engine, warm it up to normal operating temperature and shift transfer lever to ª2Hº or ª4Hº range.
4) Increase vehicle speed with D range, and check that gear position changes from 1st to 2nd, 3rd and 4th in that
order as vehicle speed increases, referring to ªGear Shift Diagramº in this section.
5) Stop vehicle and check pending DTC and DTC by using scan tool.

STALL TEST
This test is to check overall performance of automatic transmission
and engine by measuring stall speed at ªDº and ªRº ranges. Be sure
to perform this test only when transmission fluid is at normal operat-
ing temperature and its level is between FULL and LOW marks.
CAUTION:

Do not run engine at stall more than 5 seconds continu-
ously, for fluid temperature may rise excessively high.

After performing stall test, be sure to leave engine running
at idle for longer than 30 seconds before another stall test.
1) Apply parking brake and block wheels.
2) Install tachometer.
3) Start engine with select lever shifted to ªPº.
4) Depress brake pedal fully.
5) Shift select lever to ªDº and depress accelerator pedal fully while
watching tachometer. Read engine rpm quickly when it has be-
come constant (stall speed).
6) Release accelerator pedal immediately after stall speed is
checked.
7) In the same way, check stall speed in ªRº range.

ROAD TEST
This test is to check if upshift and downshift take place at specified
speed while actually driving vehicle on a level road.
WARNING:

Carry out test in very little traffic area to prevent an acci-
dent.

Test requires 2 persons, a driver and a tester.
1) Warm up engine.
2) With engine running at idle, shift select lever ªDº.
3) Accelerate vehicle speed by depressing accelerator pedal grad-
ually.
4) While driving in ªDº range, check if gear shift occurs properly as
shown in Gear Shift Diagram in this section.
