AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DIAGNOSIS

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

23A-132

STEP 14. Using diagnostic tool MB991958, check data list 
item 34: Transmission Inhibitor Switch.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to diagnostic tool MB991958, always 
turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position 
before connecting or disconnecting diagnostic tool 
MB991958.
(1) Connect diagnostic tool MB991958 to the data link 

connector.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Set diagnostic tool MB991958 to data reading mode.

• Item 34: Transmission Inhibitor Switch.

• Move the selector lever to "P," "R," "N," "D" and sport 

mode positions and confirm that the selected trans-
mission ranges match the positions. (Sport mode is 
indicated as "D" on the diagnostic tool MB991958).

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the switch operating properly?

YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.

(P0753): Low-Reverse Solenoid Valve System

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The A/T control relay supplies battery positive 

voltage to the solenoid valve assembly (terminals 
9 and 10).

• The solenoid valve closes when energized (on), 

and opens when not energized (off). The 
A/T-ECU energizes the solenoid valve based on 
input data from sensors such as the Throttle 
Position Sensor, Transmission Inhibitor Switch, 
Stoplight Switch, Input Shaft Speed Sensor, Out-
put Shaft Speed Sensor, and Transmission Fluid 
Temperature Sensor.

• The A/T-ECU provides the ground to energize the 

solenoid. The amount of time that the circuit is 
grounded is displayed on diagnostic tool 
MB991958 in percent.

• When the solenoid is energized or de-energized, 

fluid passes through the valve body and 
transmission passages to apply and release com-
ponents.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Check Conditions

• Solenoid status: either solid ON or OFF.

• Shift status: in-gear.

• Voltage of battery: 10 volts or more.

Judgement Criteria

• Solenoid voltage: 3 volts or less. (0.3 second)

• If (P0753) is set consecutively four times, the 

transmission is locked into 3rd gear as a fail-safe 
measure, and the "N" range light flashes once 
per second.

.

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN

Start the engine, and keep the vehicle stopped in "P" 
range for 5 seconds.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tool:

• MB991958: Diagnostic Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: MUT-III USB Cable

• MB991910: MUT-III Main Harness A

STEP 1. Using diagnostic tool MB991958, check actuator 
test item 01: Low-Reverse Solenoid Valve.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to diagnostic tool MB991958, always 
turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position 
before connecting or disconnecting diagnostic tool 
MB991958.
(1) Connect diagnostic tool MB991958 to the data link 

connector.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Set diagnostic tool MB991958 to the actuator test mode.

• Item 01: Low-Reverse Solenoid Valve.

• An audible clicking or buzzing should be heard when 

the low-reverse solenoid valve is energized.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the solenoid valve operating properly?

YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.
