DTC P1774 LOW COAST BRAKE SOLENOID VALVE FUNCTION
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
DTC P1774 LOW COAST BRAKE SOLENOID VALVE FUNCTIONPFP:31940
DescriptionACS007F5

Low coast brake solenoid valve is turned “ON” or “OFF” by the TCM in response to signals sent from the
PNP switch, vehicle speed sensor and accelerator pedal position sensor (throttle position sensor). Gears
will then be shifted to the optimum position.

This is not only caused by electrical malfunction (circuits open or shorted) but also by mechanical mal-
function such as control valve sticking, improper solenoid valve operation.
CONSULT-II Reference ValueACS007F6
On Board Diagnosis LogicACS007F7

This is an OBD-II self-diagnostic item.

Diagnostic trouble code “LC/B SOLENOID FNCT” with CONSULT-II or P1774 without CONSULT-II is
detected under the following conditions.
–When TCM detects that actual gear ratio is irregular, and relation between gear position and condition of
ATF pressure switch 2 is irregular during depressing accelerator pedal. (Other than during shift change)
–When TCM detects that relation between gear position and condition of ATF pressure switch 2 is irregular
during releasing accelerator pedal. (Other than during shift change)
Possible CauseACS007F8

Harness or connectors
(Solenoid and switch circuits are open or shorted.)

Low coast brake solenoid valve

ATF pressure switch 2
DTC Confirmation ProcedureACS007F9
CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
NOTE:
If “DTC Confirmation Procedure” has been previously performed, always turn ignition switch “OFF”
and wait at least 10 seconds before performing the next test.
After the repair, perform the following procedure to confirm the malfunction is eliminated.
WITH CONSULT-II
1. Start engine.
2. Accelerate vehicle to maintain the following conditions.
Selector lever: “M” position
Gear position: “M1-1st” or “M2-2nd” gear (LC/B ON/OFF)
3. Perform step “2” again.
4. Turn ignition switch “OFF”, then perform step “1” to “3” again.
5. Check “SELF-DIAG RESULTS” mode for “A/T” with CONSULT-
II. If DTC (P1774) is detected, refer to AT- 1 7 1 , "
Diagnostic Pro-
cedure" .
If DTC (P1772) is detected, go to AT- 1 6 9 , "
Diagnostic Proce-
dure" .
WITH GST
Follow the procedure “With CONSULT-II”.

DESCRIPTION
General
The variable compressor is basically a swash plate type that changes piston stroke in response to the required
cooling capacity.
The tilt of the wobble (swash) plate allows the piston′s stroke to change so that refrigerant discharge can be
continuously changed from 14.5 to 184 cm
3 (0.885 to 11.228 cu. in).

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
AIR CONDITIONER CONTROLPFP:27500
Description of Air Conditioner LAN Control SystemAJS0014A
The LAN (Local Area Network) system consists of unified meter and A/C amp., mode door motor, air mix door
motor and intake door motor.
A configuration of these components is shown in the diagram below.
System ConstructionAJS0014B
A small network is constructed between the unified meter and A/C amp., air mix door motor, mode door motor
and intake door motor. The unified meter and A/C amp. and motors are connected by data transmission lines
and motor power supply lines. The LAN network is built through the ground circuits of the each door motor.
Addresses, motor opening angle signals, motor stop signals and error checking messages are all transmitted
through the data transmission lines connecting the unified meter and A/C amp. and each door motor.
The following functions are contained in LCUs built into the air mix door motor, mode door motor and intake
door motor.

Address

Motor opening angle signals

Data transmission

Motor stop and drive decision

Opening angle sensor (PBR function)

Comparison

Decision (Unified meter and A/C amp. indicated value and motor opening angle comparison)
OPERATION
The unified meter and A/C amp. receives data from each of the sensors. The unified meter and A/C amp.
sends mode door, air mix door and intake door opening angle data to the mode door motor LCU, air mix door
motor LCU and intake door motor LCU.
The mode door motor, air mix door motor and intake door motor read their respective signals according to the
address signal. Opening angle indication signals received from the unified meter and A/C amp. and each of
the motor position sensors are compared by the LCUs in each motor with the existing decision and opening
angles. Subsequently, HOT/COLD, DEFROST/VENT or FRESH/RECIRCULATION operation is selected. The
new selection data is returned to the unified meter and A/C amp.
