General Description
Variable Forced Solenoid (Linear Solenoid) : With the duty control which uses higher frequency (600 Hz), instead of the existing PWM type which adapts low frequency (60 Hz) to control,spool valve can be controlled precisely. In PWM control,the amount of oil flow is determined by the duration of "ON"signal among continuously repeated ON/OFF signals. In VFS, the amount is decided by how widely spool valve open the passage of going through.

DTC Description
The TCM checks the VFS Control Signal by monitoring the feedback signal from the solenoid valve drive circuit. If an unexpected signal is monitored (for example, high voltage is detected when low voltage is expected, or low voltage is detected when high voltage is expected), the TCM judges that the Low and Reverse control solenoid circuit is malfunctioning and sets this code.

Monitor Scantool Data
1. Connect scantool to data link connector (DLC)
2. Engine "ON".
3. Monitor the "VF SOL. VALVE" parameter on the scantool
4. Shift gear at each position.









5. Does "VF SOL DUTY" follow the reference data?

YES
a. Fault is intermittent caused by poor contact in the sensor's and/or PCM/TCM's connector or was repaired and PCM/TCM memory was not cleared. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration or damage.Repair or replace as necessary and go to "Verification Vehicle Repair" procedure

NO
a. Go to "W/Harness Inspection" procedure

Terminal and Connector Inspection
1. Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness and terminals. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
2. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.
3. Has a problem been found?

YES
a. Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure

NO
a. Go to "Power Circuit Inspection" procedure

Power Supply Circuit Inspection
1. Connect "A/T SOLENOID VALVE" connector and install device for measuring wave form
2. Turn on the Engine and operate VF SOLENOID VALVE.
3. Measure wave form between terminal"P" of the sensor harness connector and chassis ground.
