Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual: Pressure Control Solenoid "C" Electrical (Shift Solenoid Valve SL3) (P0798)

Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual / Ac60e Automatic Transmission / Transaxle / Automatic Transmission System(for 2tr-fe) / Pressure Control Solenoid "C" Electrical (Shift Solenoid Valve SL3) (P0798)

DESCRIPTION

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

DTC No.	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
P0798	An open or short circuit (output signal duty is 0% or 100%) is detected by the ECM in the shift solenoid valve SL3 circuit while driving and shifting gears (SL3 output signal duty is more than 3% and less than 100% under normal conditions) (1 trip detection logic).	Open or short in shift solenoid valve SL3 circuit Shift solenoid valve SL3 ECM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

This DTC indicates an open or short in the shift solenoid valve SL3 circuit. The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves on or off. When there is an open or short circuit in any of the shift solenoid valve circuits, the ECM detects the problem and illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC. The ECM also 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 ECM stops sending current to the circuit.)

While driving and shifting gears, if the ECM detects an open or short in the shift solenoid valve SL3 circuit, the ECM determines there is a malfunction (See page MONITOR STRATEGY ).

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

Perform the universal trip to clear permanent DTCs (See page ).
Perform registration and/or initialization when parts related to the automatic transmission are replaced (See page ).

HINT:

The following table shows normal operation of the shift solenoid valve SL3 when the shift lever is in D:

ECM commanded gear	1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th	6th
Shift solenoid valve SL3	OFF	ON	OFF	OFF	OFF	ON

After the repair, clear the DTCs and perform the following procedure to check that DTCs are not output.
1. Perform the D Position Shift Test in Road Test (See page ).
2. Check for DTCs again (See page ).

PROCEDURE

1.	INSPECT TRANSMISSION WIRE (SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SL3)

(a) Disconnect the E1 transmission wire connector.

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

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
11 (SL3+) - 12 (SL3-)	20°C (68°F)	5.0 to 5.6 Ω
11 (SL3+) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
12 (SL3-) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

GO TO STEP 3

2.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION WIRE - ECM)

(a) Disconnect the ECM connector.

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

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
E19-16 (SL3+) - E19-15 (SL3-)	20°C (68°F)	5.0 to 5.6 Ω
E19-16 (SL3+) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
E19-15 (SL3-) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
