P0744 TORQUE CONVERTER
DescriptionINFOID:0000000005928829
• The torque converter clutch solenoid valve is included in the control valve assembly.
• This malfunction is detected when the torque converter clutch does not lock-up as instructed by the TCM.
This is not only caused by electrical malfunction (cir cuits open or shorted), but also by mechanical malfunc-
tion such as control valve sticking, improper solenoid valve operation, etc.
CONSULT-III Reference Val ue in Data Monitor ModeINFOID:0000000005928830
Remarks: Specification data are reference values.
On Board Diagnosis LogicINFOID:0000000005928831
• This is an OBD-II self-diagnostic item.
• Diagnostic trouble code “P0744” with CONSULT-III is detected under the following conditions.
- When CVT cannot perform lock-up even if electrical circuit is good.
- When TCM compares difference value with slip revolution and detects an irregularity.
Possible CauseINFOID:0000000005928832
• Torque converter clutch solenoid valve
• Hydraulic control circuit
DTC Confirmation ProcedureINFOID:0000000005928833
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, touch “ERASE” on “SELF-DIAG RESULTS” and then perform the following procedure to con-
firm the malfunction is eliminated.
WITH CONSULT-III
1. Turn ignition switch ON. (Do not start engine.)
2. Select “DATA MONITOR” mode for “TRANSMISSION” with CONSULT-III.
3. Start engine and maintain the following condition for at least 30 seconds. ACC PEDAL OPEN: More than 1.0/8
RANGE: “D” position
[Vehicle speed: Constant speed of more than 40 km/h (25 MPH)]
4. If DTC is detected go to CVT-89, "
Diagnosis Procedure".
WITH GST
Follow the procedure “WITH CONSULT-III”.
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000005928834
1.CHECK INPUT SIGNALS
With CONSULT-III
1. Start engine.
2. Select “ECU INPUT SIGNALS” in “DATA MONITO R” mode for “TRANSMISSION” with CONSULT-III.
3. Start vehicle.
4. Check if there is a great difference between “E NG SPEED SIG” and “PRI SPEED SEN”. (Lock-up ON.)
Item name Condition Display value
ENG SPEED SIG Engine running Closely matches the tachometer reading.
PRI SPEED SEN During driving (lock-up ON) Approximately matche s the engine speed.

• Never reuse oil pan gasket and drain plug gasket.
• Completely remove all moisture, oil and old gasket, etc. from the oil pan gasket mounting surface of
transaxle case and oil pan.
InspectionINFOID:0000000006413340
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Check oil pan for foreign material.
• If a large amount of worn material is found, clutch plate may be worn.
• If iron powder is found, bearings, gears, or clutch plates may be worn.
• If aluminum powder is found, bushing may be worn, or ch ips or burrs of aluminum casting parts may enter.
Check points where wear is found in all cases.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Check for CVT fluid leakage and check CVT fluid level. Refer to CVT-14, "Checking CVT Fluid".
