STEP 2. Check the DTC.
Check that the DTC other than P1731 (1st engine brake detec-
tion) is set.
Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Check and repair the relevant DTC system.
NO :  Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check the transmission fluid properties.
Check the status of the transmission fluid properties (smell, 
color, fouling).

• Black: A/T inside damage, seizure

• Milky: Water intrusion

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Remove the A/T from the vehicle, then check and 

repair the inside.

STEP 4. Check the transmission fluid level.
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Adjust the transmission fluid level, and then go to 

Step 5.

STEP 5. Check the wiring harness, connector, and sensor 
signal.

•  Check the wiring harness and connectors of the low-clutch 

pressure switch and low-reverse brake pressure switch.

• Check the signals of C-37 TCM connector terminal No. 37 

(output shaft speed sensor) and the terminal No. 38 (input 
shaft speed sensor).
Refer to 

P.23C-158

.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Repair or replace the failure section.

STEP 6. Hydraulic pressure test
Refer to 

P.23C-26

.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 7.
NO :  Remove the A/T from the vehicle, then check and 

repair the inside.

STEP 7. Erase the DTC code, and drive the vehicle for a 
while.
Check that the normal code is displayed.
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : The procedure is complete.
NO :  Return to START.

Refer to 

P.23C-72

.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

• During 1st to 4th driving, and with the lock-up 

function deactivated, an open circuit is detected 
for 200 milliseconds.

• During the 5th to 6th driving, and with the lock-up 

function deactivated, a short circuit is detected for 
200 milliseconds.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

• During with the lock-up deactivated

.

MONITOR EXECUTION CONDITIONS

• Gear position: 1st to 4th.

• Low clutch shift solenoid valve activation com-

mand: more than 937 mA

Judgment Criteria <Circuit continuity open>

• Low clutch shift solenoid valve actual current: 

less than 500 mA. (0.2 seconds)

.

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN

Drive at 55 km/h (34.2 mph) or less with the shift 
ranges of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear. Driving at 48 

± 

2 km/h (29.8 

± 1.2 mph) with the 5th gear. Maintain 

each shift range for 1 second or more.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (THE MOST 
LIKELY CAUSES FOR THIS CODE TO BE 
SET ARE:)

• Malfunction of the low clutch shift solenoid valve 

system circuit

• Damaged harness or connector

• Malfunction of the TCM

• Malfunction of the low clutch shift solenoid valve 

(valve body Assembly)

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. Check the TCM terminal voltage.
[C-38 TCM connector (vehicle side, connected)]
Measure the voltage between terminal No. 14 and body 
ground.

• 5th and 6th: Battery positive voltage

• Other than above: 0 V

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check between the TCM connector and A/T 
control solenoid valve assembly connector.
Check for continuity between C-38 TCM connector and B-111 
A/T control solenoid valve assembly connector.
NOTE: Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check the inter-
mediate connectors A-12 and repair that if necessary.

• Between C-38 terminal No. 14 and B-111 terminal No. 22: 

Continuity exists.

When the continuity check result is OK, check that the wiring 
harness is not shorted to the body and other wiring harness.
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Repair or replace the failure section.

STEP 3. Check the low clutch shift solenoid.
Refer to 

P.23C-275

.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Go to Step 4.
