Continuously Variable Transmission/Transaxle, CVT

DTC P0746: Abnormality in Hydraulic Control System Function

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
TCM determines that the malfunction is present when pulley ratio becomes higher (pulley ratio range: 2.349 to 0.394).

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
^ The status with the pulley ratio of 3.5 or more continues for 0.1 second or with the pulley ratio of 2.7 or more continues for 0.2 second.

MONITOR EXECUTION
^ transmission range:D
^ Throttle valve opening : 1/8 or more
^ Engine speed : 450 r/min or more
^ CVT fluid temperature : from 20 to 180°C (68~356°F)

MONITOR EXECUTION CONDITIONS (OTHER MONITOR AND SENSOR)

Other Monitor (There is no temporary DTC stored in memory for the item monitored below)
^ P0741: Abnormality in lockup function
^ P0841: Abnormality in line pressure sensor function

Sensor (The sensor below is determined to be normal)
^ Not applicable

LOGIC FLOW CHARTS (Monitor Sequence)





DTC SET CONDITIONS

Check Conditions
^ Transmission range switch position: D.
^ Throttle position sensor voltage: 1.37 volts or more.
^ Engine speed: 450 r/min or more.
^ Transmission fluid temperature: 20°C (68°F) or more.
^ Transmission fluid temperature: 180°C (356°F) or less.
^ Voltage of battery: 9 volts or more.
^ Voltage of battery: 16 volts or less.

Judgment Criteria
^ Pulley ratio (primary pulley ratio/secondary pulley ratio): more than 3.5. (0.1 second)
^ Pulley ratio (primary pulley ratio/secondary pulley ratio): more than 2.7. (0.2 second)

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN
transmission range: D (Drive the vehicle for 10 seconds or more while the accelerator opening angle is 20% or more)

PROBABLE CAUSES
^ Abnormal line pressure
^ Malfunction of TCM

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Check other diagnosis codes.

Q:Are other diagnosis codes set?
YES : Carry out the appropriate troubleshooting.
NO : Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. M.U.T.-III data list
Item 33: Line pressure SOL. output current (Refer to Data List Reference Table.) Data List Reference Table

Q:Is the check result normal?
YES : Intermittent malfunction
NO : Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Line Pressure Check
Carry out "hydraulic test." Hydraulic Pressure Test

Q:Is the check result normal?
YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Repair according to the hydraulic pressure test diagnosis table.

STEP 4. Symptom recheck after erasing diagnosis code

Q:Is the check result normal?
YES : Intermittent malfunction
NO : Replace TCM.
