DIAGNOSIS <TC-SST>

TSB Revision

TWIN CLUTCH- SPORTRONIC SHIFT TRANSMISSION (TC-SST)

22C-41

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

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-14

.) After repairing the CAN 

bus line, go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check whether the DTC is reset.
Q: Is DTC No. P0777 set?

YES : Replace the TC-SST assembly. (Refer to 

P.22C-341

.)

NO :  Intermittent malfunction. (Refer to GROUP 00 

− How 

to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction 

P.00-15

.)

DTC P0841: Clutch 1 Pressure Sensor System (Poor performance)

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 1 pressure sen-
sor is normal.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

The difference between the allowable torque of 
clutch 1 and the engine torque is large.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

• Continuous

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Check Conditions

• Voltage of battery: 8 V or more.

• Voltage of battery: 16.5 V or less.

• Engine speed: 500 r/min or more.

• Time since above engine condition: 400 millisec-

ond or more.

• Engine speed: 6,800 r/min or less.

• Clutch 1 (odd) slip state: Slip or engaged.

• Clutch 1 (odd) slip speed: 20 r/min or more.

• Clutch 2 (even) state: Disengaged.

JUDGMENT CRITERIA

• Calculated torque (Clutch 1 (odd) permit torque − 

engine torque): 200 N

⋅ m (148 ft-lb) or more. (2 

seconds)

.

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN

The value of the calculated torque (clutch 1 (odd) 
permit torque 

− engine torque) remains 200 N⋅ m 

(148 ft-lb) or less for 2 seconds.

.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of TC-SST-ECU
