P1778 STEP MOTOR - FUNCTION

Description

INFOID:0000000003849044

• The step motor changes the step by turning 4 coils ON/OFF according to the signal from TCM. As a result,

the flow of line pressure to primary pulley is changed and pulley ratio is controlled.

• This diagnosis item is detected when the electrical system is OK, but the mechanical system is NG.
• This diagnosis item is detected when the state of the changing of the speed mechanism in the unit does not

operate normally.

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

CAUTION:

• Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
• Before starting “DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE”, confirm “Hi” or “Mid” or “Low” fixation by

“PRI SPEED” and “VEHICLE SPEED” on “Data Monitor”.

• If hi-geared fixation occurred, go to 

TM-100, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

NOTE:
Immediately after performing any “DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE”, always turn ignition switch OFF.
Then wait at least 10 seconds before performing the next test.

1.

CHECK DTC DETECTION

With CONSULT-III

1.

Turn ignition switch ON.

2.

Select “Data Monitor” mode for “TRANSMISSION”.

3.

Make sure that output voltage of CVT fluid temperature sensor is within the range below.

4.

Start engine and maintain the following conditions for at least 30 consecutive seconds.

With GST

Follow the procedure “With CONSULT-III”.

Is “P1778 STEP MOTR/FNC” detected?

Malfunction is detected when...

Possible cause

P1778

STEP MOTR/FNC

There is a big difference between the num-
ber of steps for the stepping motor and for 
the actual gear ratio.

Step motor

ATF TEMP SEN

: 1.0 – 2.0 V

If it is out of range, drive the vehicle to decrease the voltage (warm up the fluid) or stop engine to increase the voltage 
(cool down the fluid)

Start test from 0 km/h (0 MPH)

Constant acceleration

: Keep 30 sec or more

VEHICLE SPEED

: 10 km/h (6 MPH) or more

ACC PEDAL OPEN

: More than 1.0/8

RANGE

: “D” position

ENG SPEED

: 450 rpm or more

SHIFT POSITION INDICATOR CIRCUIT

SHIFT POSITION INDICATOR CIRCUIT

Description

INFOID:0000000003849047

• TCM sends position indicator signals to combination meter via CAN communication line.
• The selector lever position is indicated on the shift position indicator.

Component Function Check

INFOID:0000000003849048

1.

CHECK SHIFT POSITION INDICATOR

CAUTION:

Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
1.

Start engine.

2.

Check that correct selector lever position (“P”, “R”, “N”, “D”, “L”) is displayed as selector lever is moved
into each position.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> INSPECTION END

NO

>> Go to 

TM-102, "Diagnosis Procedure"

Diagnosis Procedure

INFOID:0000000003849049

1.

CHECK INPUT SIGNALS

With CONSULT-III

1.

Start engine.

2.

Select “RANGE” on “Data Monitor” and read out the value.

3.

Check that correct selector lever position (“P”, “R”, “N”, “D”, “L”) is displayed as selector lever is moved
into each position.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> INSPECTION END

NO-1 (CVT position indicator does not indicate “L” when selector lever is moved into “L”.)>>Check  the  fol-

lowing.

• Check sport mode switch. Refer to
