DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.

NOTE:
If "DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE" has been previously performed, 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".
  3. Make sure that output voltage of CVT fluid temperature sensor is within the range below.

ATF TEMP SEN : 1.0 - 2.0 V
If 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)

  1. Start engine and maintain the following conditions for at least 10 consecutive seconds.

VEHICLE SPEED (accelerate slowly) : 0 --> 50 km/h (31 MPH)
ACC PEDAL OPEN : 0.5/8 1.0/8
RANGE : "D" position

Is "P0868 SEC/PRESS DOWN" detected?
YES >> Go to Diagnosis Procedure.
NO >> Check intermittent incident. Refer to See: Testing and Inspection\Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview\Service Information For Electrical Incident\Intermittent Incident.

Diagnosis Procedure
1.CHECK LINE PRESSURE
Perform line pressure test. Refer to See: Transmission and Drivetrain\Continuously Variable Transmission/Transaxle\Description and Operation\CVT RE0F10A\Line Pressure Test.
Is the Inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Repair or replace damaged parts. Refer to See: Transmission and Drivetrain\Continuously Variable Transmission/Transaxle\Description and Operation\CVT RE0F10A\Line Pressure Test.
2.CHECK PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE B (SECONDARY PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE)

  1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
  2. Disconnect CVT unit connector.
  3. Check pressure control solenoid valve B (secondary pressure solenoid valve). Refer to Component Inspection [Pressure Control Solenoid Valve B (Secondary Pressure Solenoid Valve)]. Is the Inspection result normal?

YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Replace transaxle assembly. Refer to See: Transmission and Drivetrain\Continuously Variable Transmission/Transaxle\Service and Repair\CVT RE0F10A\Transaxle Assembly\Exploded View.
3.CHECK PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE A (LINE PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE)
Check pressure control solenoid valve A (line pressure solenoid valve). Refer to Component Inspection [Pressure Control Solenoid Valve A (Line Pressure Solenoid Valve)].
Is the Inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> Replace transaxle assembly. Refer to See: Transmission and Drivetrain\Continuously Variable Transmission/Transaxle\Service and Repair\CVT RE0F10A\Transaxle Assembly\Exploded View.
4.CHECK TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE SENSOR A (SECONDARY PRESSURE SENSOR) SYSTEM
Check transmission fluid pressure sensor A (secondary pressure sensor) system. Refer to See: P0840\CVT RE0F10A See: P0840\CVT RE0F10A See: P0840\CVT RE0F10A, "DTC Logic".
Is the Inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 5.
NO >> Repair or replace damaged parts.
5.DETECT MALFUNCTIONING ITEMS
Check TCM connector pin terminals for damage or loose connection with harness connector.
Is the Inspection result normal?
YES >> Replace TCM. Refer to See: Powertrain Management\Transmission Control Systems\Control Module, CVT\Service and Repair\CVT RE0F10A\Exploded View.
NO >> Repair or replace damaged parts.

Component Inspection [Pressure Control Solenoid Valve A (Line Pressure Solenoid Valve)]
1.CHECK PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE A (LINE PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE)

  

Check resistance between CVT unit terminal 2 and ground.

  

Is the Inspection result normal?
YES >> Inspection END
NO >> Replace transaxle assembly. Refer to See: Transmission and Drivetrain\Continuously Variable Transmission/Transaxle\Service and Repair\CVT RE0F10A\Transaxle Assembly\Exploded View.

Component Inspection [Pressure Control Solenoid Valve B (Secondary Pressure Solenoid Valve)]
1.CHECK PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE B (SECONDARY PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE)

  

Check resistance between CVT unit terminal 3 and ground.

  

Is the Inspection result normal?
YES >> Inspection END
NO >> Replace transaxle assembly. Refer to See: Transmission and Drivetrain\Continuously Variable Transmission/Transaxle\Service and Repair\CVT RE0F10A\Transaxle Assembly\Exploded View.
