Toyota Venza: Short in Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Circuit (Shift Solenoid Valve SL) (P2769,P2770)

Toyota Venza Service Manual / U660e Automatic Transmission / Transaxle / Automatic Transaxle System / Short in Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Circuit (Shift Solenoid Valve SL) (P2769,P2770)

DESCRIPTION

Shift solenoid valve SL is turned on and off by signals from the TCM to control the hydraulic pressure acting on the lock-up relay valve, which then controls operation of the lock-up clutch.

DTC No.	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
P2769	TCM detects a short in the shift solenoid valve SL circuit when the shift solenoid valve SL is operated (2 trip detection logic).	Short in shift solenoid valve SL circuit Shift solenoid valve SL TCM
P2770	TCM detects an open in the shift solenoid valve SL circuit when the shift solenoid valve SL is not operated (2 trip detection logic).	Open in shift solenoid valve SL circuit Shift solenoid valve SL TCM

Fail-safe function:

If the TCM detects a malfunction, it turns shift solenoid valve SL off.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

Based on the signals from the throttle position sensor, the air flow meter and the crankshaft position sensor, the TCM sends a signal to shift solenoid valve SL to regulate the hydraulic pressure and provide smoother torque converter engagement. Shift solenoid valve SL responds to commands from the TCM. The valve controls the lock-up relay valve to perform the torque-converter lock-up function. If the TCM detects an open or short circuit for shift solenoid valve SL, it will illuminate the MIL.
