P0979

DTC P0979 Shift Solenoid "C" Control Circuit Low (Shift Solenoid Valve S3)

DTC P0980 Shift Solenoid "C" Control Circuit High (Shift Solenoid Valve S3)

DESCRIPTION
Shifting from 1st to 6th is performed in combination with ON and OFF operation of the shift solenoid valves SL1, SL2, S1, S2, S3, S4 and SR, which are controlled by the ECM. If an open or short circuit occurs in any of the shift solenoid valves, the ECM controls the remaining normal shift solenoid valve to allow the vehicle to be operated safely. In case of an open or short circuit, the ECM stops sending the current to the open or short circuited solenoid.

P0979-P0980:

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
These DTCs indicate an open or short in the shift solenoid valve S3 circuit. When there is an open or short circuit in any shift solenoid valve circuit, the ECM detects the problem, illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC. When the shift solenoid valve S3 is ON, if resistance is 8 Ohms or less, the ECM determines there is a short in the shift solenoid valve S3 circuit.

When the shift solenoid valve S3 is OFF, if resistance is 100 kOhms or more, the ECM determines there is an open in the shift solenoid valve S3 circuit.
