P0746 PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID A PERFORMANCE (LINE PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE)

Description
The pressure control solenoid valve A (line pressure solenoid valve) regulates the oil pump discharge pressure to suit the driving condition in response to a signal sent from the TCM.

DTC Logic

DTC DETECTION LOGIC

1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Select "DATA MONITOR".
3. Start engine and maintain the following conditions for at least 10 consecutive seconds. Test start from 0 km/h (0 MPH) .

ATF TEMP SEN : 1.0 2.0 V
ACC PEDAL OPEN : More than 1.0/8
RANGE : "D" position
VEHICLE SPEED : 10 km/h (6 MPH) or more
Driving location : Driving the vehicle uphill (increased engine load) will help maintain the driving conditions required for this test.

With GST
Follow the procedure "With CONSULT-III".
Is "P0746 PRS CNT SOL/A FCTN" 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 RE0F09B\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 RE0F09B\Line Pressure Test.
2.CHECK PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE A (LINE PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE)

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect CVT unit harness connector.
3. 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 3.
NO >> Replace transaxle assembly. Refer to See: Transmission and Drivetrain\Continuously Variable Transmission/Transaxle\Service and Repair\CVT RE0F09B\Transaxle Assembly\Exploded View.
3.CHECK OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR (SECONDARY SPEED SENSOR) SYSTEM
Check output speed sensor (secondary speed sensor) system. Refer to See: P0720\CVT RE0F09B.
Is the Inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> Repair or replace damaged parts.
4.CHECK INPUT SPEED SENSOR (PRIMARY SPEED SENSOR) SYSTEM
Check input speed sensor (primary speed sensor) system. Refer to See: P0715\CVT RE0F09B.
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 RE0F09B\Exploded View.
NO >> Repair or replace damaged parts.
