Signal Missing. Permanent Fault
Signal missing. Permanent fault
Checking lock-up solenoid SL
- Ignition off
- Check the control module and automatic transmission connectors for contact resistance and oxidation according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault. Remedy if necessary
- Reinstall the components, reconnect the connectors etc.
- Ignition on
- Gear selector in position P
- Activate the lock-up solenoid SL.
The current must oscillate between approximately 0 and 1 A.
If the current oscillates, the problem was caused by contact resistance and oxidation.

Was the resistance OK?
Yes - Checking the wiring
No - Checking the wiring and component

Checking the control module
- Ignition off
- Connect the breakout box to the control module without connecting the breakout box connector to the transmission
- Transmission connector disconnected
- Ignition on
- Gear selector in position P
- Connect a voltmeter between terminals #51 (#A51) and #53 (#A53) on the breakout box
- Activate solenoid SL.
The voltage must oscillate between approximately 0 and 12 V. If the voltage does not oscillate, replace the control module.
Note! When disconnecting the transmission connector, the control module may store diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) for the gear-shift position sensor, the shift solenoids and temperature sensor etc.

- Ignition off
- Open the transmission control system.
Check the cable between transmission connector terminal #T (#A17) and solenoid SL terminal #A and E (#A5) and solenoid SL terminal #B. Check for an open-circuit. See Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.
Hint: Check solenoid SL by measuring the solenoid SL resistance between terminals #A and #B. The resistance must be between 10 and 15 ohms.

Resetting the adaptation and oil quality counter
Resetting the adaptation
Resetting adaptation and the counter for "Transmission oil change"
Hint: The transmission has torque controlled adaptive pressure control. Pressure control means that the transmission regulates the pressure itself during each gear shift. This avoids harsh gear shifting. Each gear shift is evaluated by the control module and stored in the memory. This allows for compensation for wear and tear in the transmission and clutch. It is important that the adaptation in the memory is reset after the transmission has been repaired. This is to ensure normal operation. The oil is replaced during repair; the "Transmission oil change" counter must be reset. If the counter is not reset when the fluid is drained and replaced, there is a risk that a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) will be stored in incorrect circumstances.
Note! This applies only if the transmission or one of the components in the transmission have been replaced.
- Ignition on.
