DTC P0970: Shift/Cooling Changeover Solenoid System (Short to ground)

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/cooling changeover solenoid circuit is normal.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
The shift/cooling changeover solenoid circuit is determined to be short to ground.

MONITOR EXECUTION
^ Continuous

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Check Conditions
^ Voltage of battery: 8 V or more.
^ Voltage of battery: 16.5 V or less.

JUDGMENT CRITERIA
^ FET (Field Effect Transistor) output: 100 mV or less. (220 millisecond)

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN
The FET channel output remains 100 mV or more for 220 milliseconds.

PROBABLE CAUSES
^ Malfunction of TC-SST-ECU

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

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.

Q: Is DTC No. P0970 set?
YES: Replace the TC-SST assembly.
NO: Intermittent malfunction.
