U151F AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE – AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEMAX–117
AX
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 ratio (*) of the SLT solenoid valve to control hydraulic line pressure coming from the primary regulator
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 P2714Pressure Control Solenoid "D" Performance
(Shift Solenoid Valve SLT)
DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
P2714ECM detects a malfunction on SLT (ON side) according
to the revolution difference of the turbine, intermediate
and the output shaft, and also by the oil pressure. (2-
trip detection logic)• Shift solenoid valve SLT remains closed
• Valve body is blocked
• Automatic transaxle (clutch, brake or gear, etc.)

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
In any forward position, when the difference between the revolutions of the turbine, Intermediate and
output shaft exceeds the specified value (varies with Intermediate, output speed) determined by the ECM,
the ECM illuminates the MIL and store the DTC.
When shift solenoid valve SLT remains on, the oil pressure goes down and the clutch engagement force
decreases.
NOTICE:
If you continue driving under these conditions, the clutch will burn out and the vehicle will no
longer be drivable.

duty cycle of the SLT solenoid valve to control hydraulic line pressure coming from the primary regulator
valve. Appropriate line pressure assures smooth shifting with varying engine outputs.

The duty ratio is the ratio of the period of continuity in one cycle.

Duty Ratio = A/(A + B) x 100(%)
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
When an open or short in the linear solenoid valve (SLT) circuit is detected, the ECM interprets this as a
fault. The ECM will turn on the MIL and store the DTC.

PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
HINT:
• If a normal code is displayed during the diagnostic trouble
code check although the trouble still occurs, check the
electrical circuits for each symptom in the order given in
the charts on the following pages and proceed to the page
given for troubleshooting.
• The Matrix Chart is divided into 2 chapters.
• When the circuit on which mark *1 is attached is a
malfunction, DTC could be output.
Refer to the table below when the trouble cause is considered
to be electrical. If the instruction PROCEED TO NEXT
CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS
TABLE is given in the flowchart of each circuit, inspect the
suspected areas in descending order for each symptom. If
the trouble still occurs even though there are no
abnormalities in the inspections listed for the symptoms,
check and replace the ECM.

FREEZE FRAME DATA
1. FREEZE FRAME DATA
(a) The vehicle (sensor) status, stored during ABS and/
or VSC operation or at the time of an error code
detection, can be displayed by the intelligent tester.
(b) Only one record of freeze frame data is stored and
the freeze frame data generated during ABS and/or
VSC operation are updated whenever the vehicle
status is changed. Also, the number of the ignition
switch is ON after the freeze frame data is stored
can be stored up to 31 and it can be displayed. After
storing the DTC, the freeze frame data is not up-
dated.
HINT:
If the ignition switch "ON" operation exceeds 31
times, "31"appears on the display.
(c) If a malfunction occurs, the freeze frame data is
stored but the ABS actuation data is deleted.
*
1: If no conditions are specifically stated for "Idling",
it means the shift lever is at N or P position, the A/C
switch is OFF and all accessory switches are OFF.
