SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses signals from the vehicle speed sensor to detect the actual gear position (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th
or 5th gear).
Then the ECM compares the actual gear with the shift schedule in the ECM memory to detect mechanical
problems of the shift solenoid valves, valve body or automatic transaxle (clutch, brake or gear etc.).
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves "ON/OFF". According to the input
shaft revolution, intermediate (counter) shaft revolution and output shaft revolution, the ECM detects the
actual gear position (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th gear position). When the gear position commanded by the
ECM and the actual gear position are not the same, the ECM illuminates the MIL.
HINT:
Example:
When either condition (a) or (b) is met, the ECM detects a malfunction.
(a) The ECM commands the 1st gear, but the actual gear is 2nd.
(b) The ECM commands the 2nd gear, but the actual gear is 1st.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Using the intelligent tester to perform ACTIVE TEST allows relays, VSVs, actuators and other items to be
operated without removing any parts. This non-intrusive functional inspection can be very useful because
intermittent operation may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Performing ACTIVE TEST
early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time. DATA LIST information can be displayed while
performing ACTIVE TEST.
1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST
(a) Warm up the engine.
(b) Turn the ignition switch off.
(c) Connect the intelligent tester together with the CAN VIM (controller area network vehicle
interface module) to the DLC3.
(d) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(e) Turn on the tester.
(f) Select the item "DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TEST / SHIFT".
(g) According to the display on the tester, perform the "ACTIVE TEST".
HINT:
While driving, the shift position can be forcibly changed with the intelligent tester.

Comparing the shift position commanded by the ACTIVE TEST with the actual shift position enables you
to confirm the problem (See page AX-30).
HINT:
• This test can be conducted when the vehicle speed is 50 km/h (31 mph) or less.
• The shift position commanded by the ECM is shown in the DATA LIST/SHIFT display on the intelligent
tester.
(a) Connect the intelligent tester together with the CAN VIM
(controller area network vehicle interface module) to the
DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and turn the
OBD II scan tool or the intelligent tester main switch ON.
(c) When you use intelligent tester:
Select the item "DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II /
DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES".
(d) Read the DTCs using the OBD II scan tool or the
intelligent tester.

If any other codes besides "P0746" are output, perform
the troubleshooting for those DTCs first.

DESCRIPTION
Shifting from 1st to 5th is performed in combination with "ON" and "OFF" operation of the shift solenoid
valves SL1, SL2, SL3, S4 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 (Fail safe function).
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves "ON/OFF". 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. And the ECM performs the fail-safe function and turns the other normal shift solenoid
valves "ON/OFF" (In case of an open or short circuit, the ECM stops sending current to the circuit.)
