ELECTRICAL (SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE
SL1)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Shifting from 1st to 5th is performed in combination with ON and OFF operation of the shift solenoid valves
SL1, SL2, SL3, S4 and SR which is controlled by the ECM. If an open or short circuit occurs in either of the
shift solenoid valves, the ECM controls the remaining normal shift solenoid valve to allow the vehicle to be
operated smoothly (Fail safe function).
DTC No.
DTC Detection Condition
Trouble Area
P0748
ECM checks for an open or short circuit in shift solenoid valves
SL1 (1-trip detection logic)
Output signal duty equals to 100%
Open or short in shift solenoid valve SL1 circuit
Shift solenoid valve SL1
ECM
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves ON/OFF. When there is an open or
short circuit in any shift solenoid valve circuit, the ECM detects the problem and illuminates the MIL and
stores the DTC. And the ECM performs the fail-safe function and turns the other shift solenoid valves in good
condition ON/OFF (In case of an open or short circuit, the ECM stops sending current to the circuit.)
