P1829

DTC P1829: Shift Fork Position Sensor 2 System (Poor performance)

CAUTION
^ If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect diagnostic trouble code may be set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
^ Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus lines are normal.


DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
TC-SST-ECU checks that the shift fork position sensor 2 is normal.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
The shift fork position sensor 2 is determined to be abnormal.

MONITOR EXECUTION
^ Continuous

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Required Special Tools:
^ MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
^ MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)
^ MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable
^ MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A

STEP 1. Scan tool CAN bus diagnostics
Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 2.
NO: Repair the CAN bus lines. After repairing the CAN bus line, go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check whether the DTC is reset.
After driving in the 5th gear, check that the DTC is reset.
Q: Is DTC No. P1829 set?
YES: Go to Step 3.
NO: Intermittent malfunction.

STEP 3. Scan tool Teach-in
1) Carry out the Item No. 1: Plausibility check. Teach-In Reference Table
2) After Teach-In, check which result ("Yes" or "No") is displayed in the Data list No. 101: Normal End. Teach-In Reference Table
Q: Which is displayed, "Yes" or "No"?
"Yes": Replace the transaxle assembly.
"No": Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Replace the mechatronic assembly, and check if the DTC is reset.
1) Replace the mechatronic assembly.
2) Drive in the 5th gear.
3) Check the DTC.
Q: Is DTC No. P1829 set?
YES: Replace the transaxle assembly.
NO: This diagnosis is complete.
