Toyota Venza: Pressure Control Solenoid "C" Performance (Shift Solenoid Valve SL3) (P0796)

Toyota Venza Service Manual / U660e Automatic Transmission / Transaxle / Automatic Transaxle System / Pressure Control Solenoid "C" Performance (Shift Solenoid Valve SL3) (P0796)

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The TCM uses the vehicle speed signal and signals from the transmission speed sensors (NC, NT) to detect the actual gear (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th gear).

Then the TCM compares the actual gear with the shift schedule in the TCM memory to detect mechanical problems of the shift solenoid valves and valve body.

DTC No.

DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

P0796

The engine revs freely when 2nd or 6th gear is commanded (2-trip detection logic).

When the following is detected twice (2-trip detection logic):

  • When 1st gear is commanded, 2nd gear is engaged.
  • Shift solenoid valve SL3 remains open or closed.
  • Valve body is blocked.
  • Automatic transaxle (clutch, brake or gear etc.)

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The TCM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves on and off. According to the input shaft revolution (speed), intermediate (counter) shaft revolution (speed) and output shaft revolution (speed), the TCM detects the actual gear (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th gear). When the gear commanded by the TCM and the actual gear are not the same, the TCM illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.

[Others]

  • Press "→" button: Upshift occurs
  • Press "←" button: Downshift occurs

Can be used to check the operation of the shift solenoid valves.

NOTICE:

  • This test can be conducted when the vehicle is stopped.

HINT:

  • *1: Neutral
  • *2: If shift solenoid SLT is stuck on, the line pressure will be low. Therefore, the amount of torque that can be transmitted by each gear is lower than the normal limit. When the engine power exceeds this lowered limit, the engine speed will increase freely.
  • *3: When shift solenoid SLT is stuck off, gear shifting is normal.
