K41B CVT: CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSAXLE SYSTEM: P0746, P0776: Pressure Control Solenoid "A" Performance (Shift Solenoid Valve DS1)


DESCRIPTION

The ECM uses the shift control solenoids (DS1 and DS2) to control the in/out CVT fluid flow volumes at the primary pulley, to perform gear ratio change control.





MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM compares the actual gear ratio with the target gear ratio. When the actual gear ratio and target gear ratio are different, the ECM detects the problem, illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.
