DTC P0781 1±2 Shift (1±2 Shift Valve)
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The 1±2 shift valve performs shifting to 1st gear and other
gears.
DTC No.DTC Detection ConditionTrouble Area
P0781The gear required by the ECM does not match the actual gear
when driving (2±trip detection logic)
Valve body is blocked up or stuck (1±2 shift valve)

Automatic transmission (clutch, brake or gear, etc.)
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates that the 1±2 shift valve in the valve body is locked in the direction the spring compresses.
The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves ºON/OFFº and switching oil pressure
to the valves in the valve body.
The ECM calculates the ºactualº transmission gear by comparing the signals from the input speed sensor
(NCO) and the output speed sensor (SP2). The ECM can detect many mechanical problems in the shift sole-
noids, valve body, and the transmission clutches, brakes, and gears. If the ECM detects that the actual gear
position and the commanded gear position are different, it will illuminate the MIL and store the DTC .

2 Perform active test
HINT:
Performing the ACTIVE TEST using the hand±held tester allows the relay, VSV, actuator and so on to oper-
ate without parts removal. Performing the ACTIVE TEST as the first step of troubleshooting is one method
to shorten labor time.
It is possible to display the DATA LIST during the ACTIVE TEST.
(a) Warm up the engine.
(b) Turn the ignition switch off.
(c) Connect the hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(d) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(e) Turn on the tester.
(f) Select the item ºDIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TESTº.
(g) According to the display on the tester, perform the ºACTIVE TESTº.
HINT:
While driving, the shift position can be forcibly changed with the hand±held tester.
Comparing the shift position commanded by the ACTIVE TEST with the actual shift position enables you
to confirm the problem (See page DI±567).
Standard:
ItemTest DetailsDiagnostic Note
SHIFT
[Test Details]
Operate the shift solenoid valve and set each shift position by yourself.
[Vehicle Condition]
Less than 50 km/h (31 mph)
[Others]

Press º"º button: Shift up

Press ºuº button: Shift down
Possible to check the operation of
the shift solenoid valves.
HINT:

This test can be conducted when the vehicle speed is 50 km/h (31 mph) or less.

The 4th to 5th up±shiftings must be performed with the accelerator pedal released.

The 5th to 4th down±shiftings must be performed with the accelerator pedal released.

Do not operate the accelerator pedal for at least 2 seconds after shifting and do not shift successively.

The shift position commanded by the ECM is shown in the DATA LIST (SHIFT) display on the hand±
held tester.
OK:
Gear position changes in accordance with the tester command.
NG Repair or replace valve body

DTC P0973 Shift Solenoid ºAº Control Circuit Low
(Shift Solenoid Valve S1)
DTC P0974 Shift Solenoid ºAº Control Circuit High
(Shift Solenoid Valve S1)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Shifting from 1st to 5th is performed in combination with ºONº and ºOFFº operation of the shift solenoid valves
SL1, SL2, S1, S2 and SR which are controlled by the ECM. If an open or short circuit occurs in either of the
shift solenoid valves, the ECM controls the remaining normal shift solenoid valves to allow the vehicle to be
operated smoothly (See page DI±567).

ECM
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 and illuminates the MIL and stores
the DTC. When the shift solenoid valve S1 is on, if resistance is 8 W 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 resistance is 100 kW or more, the ECM determines there is an open
in the shift solenoid valve S1 circuit (See page DI±567).
