P0734 4GR INCORRECT RATIO
P0734 4GR INCORRECT RATIO
DescriptionINFOID:0000000003771880
This malfunction is detected when the A/T does not shift into 4GR position as instructed by TCM. This is not
only caused by electrical malfunction (circuits open or shorted) but also by mechanical malfunction such as
control valve sticking, improper solenoid valve operation.
On Board Diagn osis LogicINFOID:0000000003771881
 This is an OBD-II self-diagnostic item.
 Diagnostic trouble code “P0734” is detected when TCM detec ts any inconsistency in the actual gear ratio.
Possible CauseINFOID:0000000003771882
 Harness or connectors
(Solenoid circuits are open or shorted.)
 Input clutch solenoid valve
 Front brake solenoid valve
 Direct clutch solenoid valve
 High and low reverse clutch solenoid valve
 Each clutch
 Hydraulic control circuit
DTC Confirmation ProcedureINFOID:0000000003771883
CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
NOTE:
If “DTC Confirmation Procedure” has been previously performed, alw ays turn ignition switch OFF and
wait at least 10 seconds before performing the next test.
After the repair, perform the following proc edure to confirm the malfunction is eliminated.
WITH CONSULT-III
1. Start the engine and select “DATA MONITOR” mode for “TRANSMISSION” with CONSULT-III.
2. Make sure that “ATF TEMP 1” is within the following range. ATF TEMP 1: 20 °C – 140 °C
If out of range, drive vehicle to warm ATF or stop engine to cool ATF.
3. Select “4TH GR FNCTN P0734” of “DTC WORK SUPPORT” mode for “TRANSMISSION” with CON-
SULT-III.
4. Drive vehicle and maintain the following conditions.
VEHICLE SPEED: 10 km/h (6 MPH) or more
ACCELE POSI: 0.6/8 or more
ENGINE SPEED: INPUT SPEED − 50 rpm or more
INPUT SPEED: 300 rpm or more
GEAR: “4” position
MANU MODE SW: ON
5. Keep the current driving status for at least 5 consecutive seconds if CONSULT-III screen changes from
“OUT OF CONDITION” to “TESTING”.
CAUTION:
If “TESTING” does not ap pear on CONSULT-III for a long ti me, select “SELF-DIAG RESULTS”. In
case a 1st trip DTC other than P0734 is shown, refer to “ TM-117, "DTC No. Index"
”.
If “COMPLETED RESULT NG” is detected, go to TM-61, "Diagnosis Procedure"
.
If “STOP VEHICLE” is detect ed, go to the following step.
6. Stop vehicle.
7. Drive vehicle in “D” position allowing it to shift from 1GR to 5GR and check shift timing and shift shock.
- Touch “OK” to complete the inspection when normally shifted from the 1GR to 5GR.
- Touch “NG” when an unusual shift shock, etc. occurs in spite of shifting from the 1GR to 5GR. Go to TM-
190, "Description".
- Perform TM-32, "CONSULT-III Function (TRANSMISSION)"
when not shifted from the 1GR to 5GR. (Nei-
ther “OK” nor “NG” are indicated.)

P0740 TORQUE CONVERTER
P0740 TORQUE CONVERTER
DescriptionINFOID:0000000003771890
 The torque converter clutch solenoid valve is activated, with the gear in D4, D5 by the TCM in response to
signals sent from the vehicle speed sensor and accelera tor pedal position sensor (throttle position sensor).
Torque converter clutch piston operation will then be controlled.
 Lock-up operation, however, is prohibited when A/T fluid temperature is too low.
 When the accelerator pedal is depressed (less than 1/8) in lock-up condition, the engine speed should not
change abruptly. If there is a big jump in engine speed, there is no lock-up.
CONSULT-III Reference Value in Data Monitor ModeINFOID:0000000003771891
On Board Diagnosis LogicINFOID:0000000003771892
 This is an OBD-II self-diagnostic item.
 Diagnostic trouble code “P0740” with CONSULT-III is detected under the following conditions.
- When TCM detects an improper voltage drop when it tries to operate the solenoid valve.
- When TCM detects as irregular by comparing target value with monitor value.
Possible CauseINFOID:0000000003771893
 Torque converter clutch solenoid valve
 Harness or connectors (The solenoid circuit is open or shorted.)
DTC Confirmation ProcedureINFOID:0000000003771894
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 proc edure to confirm the malfunction is eliminated.
WITH CONSULT-III
1. Turn ignition switch “ON”. (Do not start engine.)
2. Select “DATA MONITOR” mode for “ENGINE” with CONSULT-III.
3. Start engine and maintain the following conditions for at least 5 consecutive seconds.
VHCL/S SE-A/T: 80 km/h (50 MPH) or more
ACCELE POSI: 0.5/8 - 1.0/8
SLCT LVR POSI: “D” position
Driving location: Driving the vehicle uphill (increased engine load) will help maintain the driving
conditions required for this test.
4. If DTC is detected go to TM-64, "Diagnosis Procedure"
.
WITH GST
Follow the procedure “With CONSULT-III”.
