DIAGNOSIS <TC-SST>

TSB Revision

TWIN CLUTCH- SPORTRONIC SHIFT TRANSMISSION (TC-SST)

22C-73

STEP 1. Scan tool CAN bus diagnostics
Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Repair the CAN bus lines. (Refer to GROUP 54C − 

Troubleshooting 

P.54C-15

.) After repairing the CAN 

bus line, go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check whether the DTC is reset.
5 seconds after turning ON the ignition switch, check that the 
DTC is reset.
Q: Is DTC No. P0965 set?

YES : Replace the mechatronic assembly. (Refer to 

P.22C-421

.)

NO :  Intermittent malfunction. (Refer to GROUP 00 − How 

to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction 

P.00-15

.)

DTC P0966: Clutch Cooling Flow Solenoid System (Short to ground)

CAUTION

• If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, 

an incorrect diagnostic trouble code may be 
set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN 
bus lines.

• Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that 

the CAN bus lines are normal.

.

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION

TC-SST-ECU checks that the clutch cooling flow 
solenoid circuit is normal.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

The clutch cooling flow solenoid circuit is determined 
to be short to ground.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

• Continuous

.
