DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tool:

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

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: MUT-III USB Cable

• MB991910: MUT-III Main Harness A

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check actuator test 
item 06: Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Valve.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the 
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Set scan tool MB991958 to the actuator test mode.

• Item 06: Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Valve.

• An audible clicking or buzzing should be heard when 

the torque converter clutch solenoid valve is ener-
gized.

(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. 

Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points 

− How to 

Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions 

P.00-6

.

NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, read the A/T 
diagnostic trouble code.

(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Check for A/T diagnostic trouble code.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is DTC 54 set? (DTC 54 may be set along with multiple 

DTCs).
YES : Refer to 

P.23A-267

 DTC 54: A/T Control Relay 

System.

NO :  Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Using scan tool MB991958, read the A/T 
diagnostic trouble code.

(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Check for A/T diagnostic trouble code.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is DTC 31 set?

YES : Go to Step 8.
NO :  Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Measure the torque converter clutch solenoid 
valve resistance at A/T control solenoid valve assembly 
connector B-108.

(1) Disconnect connector B-108 and measure at the solenoid 

valve side.

(2) Measure the resistance between solenoid valve assembly 

connector B-108 terminals 7 and 10.

Resistance value: 2.7

−3.4 Ω [at 20°C (68°F)]

Q: Is the measured resistance 2.7

−3.4 Ω [at 20°C (68°F)]?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Measure the solenoid valve resistance at the 
torque converter clutch solenoid valve assembly inside 
the transaxle.

(1) Disconnect connector B-108-4 and measure at the solenoid 

valve side.

(2) Measure the resistance between torque converter clutch 

solenoid valve terminals 1 and 2.

Resistance value: 2.7

−3.4 Ω [at 20°C (68°F)]

Q: Is the measured resistance 2.7

−3.4 Ω [at 20°C (68°F)?

YES : Replace the harness wire between A/T control 

solenoid valve assembly connector B-108 and the 
solenoid valves.

NO :  Replace the torque converter clutch solenoid valve.

STEP 6. Check PCM connector B-21 and A/T control 
solenoid valve assembly connector B-108 for loose, 
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back 
in the connector.

Q: Are the connectors and terminals in good condition?
