STEP 13. Check the harness for an open or short circuit to 
ground between A/T control solenoid valve assembly 
connector C-03 (terminals 6, 7, 8 and 10) and solenoid 
valve connectors C-03-4, C-03-5 and C-03-6.
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Replace the PCM.
NO :  Replace the harness wire.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The input shaft speed sensor generates a pulsed 

signal of 0 

⇔ 5 volts. The pulsed signal fre-

quency increases with an increase in the input 
shaft speed.

• The PCM (terminal 64) continuously monitors the 

input shaft speed signal.

• The output shaft speed sensor generates a 

pulsed signal of 0 

⇔ 5 volts. The pulsed signal 

frequency increases with an increase in the out-
put shaft speed.

• The PCM (terminal 73) continuously monitors the 

output shaft speed signal.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS <DTC 
41 (P0731)>
In 1st gear, if a difference between turbine revolution 
and that value calculated from output revolution 
equals or exceeds specified value, PCM judges that 
step-out in 1st gear has occurred.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

23A-254

• Transmission range switch rationality: only one 

signal.

• Time after shift changing finish: 2 seconds or 

more.

Judgement Criteria

• Output speed: [(input speed - 200 r/min) / 1st 

gear ratio] or less. (4 seconds)

• If DTC 41 (P0731) 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 <DTC 41 
(P0731)>
Start the engine, and drive at 20 km/h (12 mph) or 
more for 10 seconds, with 1st gear fixed (1st gear in 
sport mode).

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS <DTC 
42 (P0732)>
In 2nd gear, if a difference between turbine revolution 
and that value calculated from output revolution 
equals or exceeds specified value, PCM judges that 
step-out in 2nd gear has occurred.
