DIAGNOSIS <TC-SST>

TSB Revision

TWIN CLUTCH- SPORTRONIC SHIFT TRANSMISSION (TC-SST)

22C-69

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN

The FET channel output remains 100 mV or more for 
220 milliseconds.

.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of TC-SST-ECU

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. P0970 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 P0971: Shift/Cooling Changeover Solenoid System (Short to power supply)

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 shift/cooling 
changeover solenoid circuit is normal.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

The shift/cooling changeover solenoid circuit is 
determined to be short to power supply.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

• Continuous
