DTC P1831: Shift Fork Position Sensor 4 System (Voltage low 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 voltage of the shift fork position sensor 4 is normal.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
The voltage of the shift fork position sensor 4 is too low.

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
Position sensor voltage: 0.128 V or less. (160 millisecond)

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN
The position sensor voltage remains 0.128 V or more for 160 milliseconds.

PROBABLE CAUSES

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. P1831 set?
YES: Replace the TC-SST assembly.
NO: Intermittent malfunction.
