INSPECTION PROCEDURE
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).

DTC P2714 Pressure Control Solenoid ºDº Performance
(Shift Solenoid Valve SLT)
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The linear solenoid valve (SLT) controls the transmission line
pressure for smooth transmission operation based on signals
from the throttle position sensor and the vehicle speed sensor.
The ECM adjusts the duty cycle of the SLT solenoid valve to
control hydraulic line pressure coming from the primary regula-
tor valve. Appropriate line pressure assures smooth shifting
with varying engine outputs.
(*): Duty Ratio
The duty ratio is the ratio of the period of continuity in one cycle.
For example, if A is the period of continuity in one cycle, and B
is the period of non±continuity, then
Duty Ratio = A/(A + B) x 100 (%)
DTC No.DTC Detection ConditionTrouble Area
P2714
ECM detects a malfunction on SLT (ON side) according to the
revolution difference of the turbine and the output shaft, and
also by the oil pressure. (2±trip detection logic)
Shift solenoid valve SLT remains open or closed

Valve body is blocked

Automatic transmission (clutch, brake or gear, etc.)
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM calculates the amount of heat absorbed by the friction material based on the difference in revolu-
tion (clutch slippage) between the turbine and output shaft. The ECM turns on the MIL and outputs this DTC
when the amount of heat absorption exceeds the specified value.
When the shift solenoid valve SLT remains on, oil pressure goes down and clutch engagement force de-
creases.
NOTE: If you continue driving under these conditions, the clutch will burn out and the vehicle will no longer
be drivable.
