P1833

DTC P1833: Shift Fork Position Sensor 4 System (Output range out)

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 output of the shift fork position sensor 4 is normal.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

The output of the shift fork position sensor 4 is determined to be abnormal.

MONITOR EXECUTION

- Continuous

LOGIC FLOW CHARTS (Monitor Sequence)





DTC SET CONDITIONS

Check Conditions

- Voltage of battery: 8 V or more.
- Voltage of battery: 16.5 V or less.
- Engine speed: 650 r/min or more.
- Time since above engine condition: 1.5 seconds or more.
- Shift system status: Gear change mode (during shift fork moving).
JUDGMENT CRITERIA

- Shift fork 4 position counter (digitized sensor value): -500 counts or less, or shift fork 4 position counter (digitized sensor value): 500 counts or more. (180 millisecond)

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN

The status with the shift fork 4 position counter (digitized sensor value) -500 counts or more, or with the shift fork 4 position counter (digitized sensor value) 500 counts or less continues for 180 millisecond.

PROBABLE CAUSES

- Malfunction of TC-SST-ECU
- Malfunction of shift fork position sensor 4

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. CAN Bus Diagnostics Chart.) After repairing the CAN bus line, go to Step 2.
STEP 2. Check whether the DTC is reset.

After driving in the 4th gear, check that the DTC is reset.

Q. Is DTC No. P1833 set?

YES Replace the transaxle assembly. (Refer to Removal and Replacement.)
NO Intermittent malfunction. How to Cope With Intermittent Malfunctions.)
