Toyota Venza: Pressure Control Solenoid "C" Electrical (Shift Solenoid Valve SL3) (P0798)

Toyota Venza Service Manual / U660e Automatic Transmission / Transaxle / Automatic Transaxle System / Pressure Control Solenoid "C" Electrical (Shift Solenoid Valve SL3) (P0798)

DESCRIPTION

Changing from 1st to 6th is performed by the TCM turning shift solenoid valves SL1, SL2, SL3, SL4 and SL on and off. If an open or short circuit occurs in any of the shift solenoid valves, the TCM controls the remaining normal shift solenoid valves to allow the vehicle to be operated (See page ).

DTC No.	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
P0798	The TCM checks for an open or short in the shift solenoid valve SL3 circuit while driving and shifting gears. (1-trip detection logic) Output signal duty equals to 100%. (NOTE: SL3 output signal duty is less than 100% under normal condition.)	Open or short in shift solenoid valve SL3 circuit Shift solenoid valve SL3 TCM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The TCM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves on or off. When there is an open or short circuit in any shift solenoid valve circuit, the TCM detects the problem and illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC. And the TCM performs the fail-safe function and turns the other normal shift solenoid valves on or off (In case of an open or short circuit, the TCM stops sending current to the circuit.)

(See page ).

PROCEDURE

1.	INSPECT TRANSMISSION WIRE (SL3)

(a) Remove the TCM from the transaxle.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
16 (SL3+) - 15 (SL3-)	20°C (68°F)	5.0 to 5.6 Ω
16 (SL3+) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
15 (SL3-) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
16 (SL3+) - All other terminals except 15 (SL3-)	Always	10 kΩ or higher
15 (SL3-) - All other terminals except 16 (SL3+)	Always	10 kΩ or higher

REPLACE TCM

2.	INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SL3

(a) Remove shift solenoid valve SL3.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
1 - 2	20°C (68°F)	5.0 to 5.6 Ω

(c) Connect a battery positive (+) lead with a 21 W bulb to terminal 2 and a negative (-) lead to terminal 1 of the solenoid valve connector. Then check that the valve moves and makes an operating sound.

OK:

Valve moves and makes an operating sound.
