H1: Judder Occurs at Lock Up
H2: Large Shock at Lock Up
H3: Lock Up Point is High or Low
I1: No Lock Up
Diagnosis Hints • Causes such as the solenoid operating sound or a faulty oil pump are
suspected.
• Distinguishing is possible by stopping the solenoid operation temporarily, checking the correlation for the former case and, changing
the line pressure and confirming the correlation with noise.
• As a matter of course, noise other than the transmission may be generated around the engine, and should be checked carefully.
Notice: When the noise is generated only at the time of a gear shift, it may
be the sound of transmission fluid flowing or gear noise. If the sound varies
depending on the gear speed to be shifted, it may be the gear noise
generated from the planetary gear and its components. If the sound varies
depending on the vehicle speed, it may be the gear noise of the output
system, or the gear noise of the input system or a faulty torque converter.
Checks
Action
Checks Action
Definition:
Judder occurs when lock up area.
Diagnosis Hints Slip due to burning of the torque converter clutch (TCC) facing or insufficient
engagement due to dropped working pressure are suspected. Refer to
category No. “l1: No Lock Up “.
Notice: When the TCC facing has burnt, foreign material mixed in the oil
cooler is suspected. In such a case, inspect the oil cooler circuit for clogging
of the oil cooler.
Checks Action
Definition: • A large shock is felt at lock up.
• Lock up point is excessively high or low.
Diagnosis Hints Incorrect input signals or faulty operation of torque converter clutch (TCC) is
suspected. Refer to category No. “I1: No Lock Up”.
Checks Action
Definition:
Lock up is not performed even though lock up control conditions being satisfied.
Diagnosis Hints • Monitor the signal to the torque converter clutch (TCC) solenoid valve
while carrying out a running test.
• When the transmission fluid temperature is lower than 20 °C (68 °F),
lock up control is inhibited.
• When the output signal to the TCC solenoid valve is sent correctly, causing no lock up, clogged hydraulic circuits or malfunction of the TCC
piston may be suspected.
• Even with the lock up area, the output signal to the TCC solenoid valve is not sent, a fault of the transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor
controlling the lock up may be suspected.
Notice: When the TCC facing has burnt, foreign material mixed in the oil
cooler is suspected. In such a case, inspect the oil cooler circuit for clogging
of the oil cooler.
