LOGIC FLOW CHARTS (Monitor Sequence)






Functional check - 6th gear

DTC SET CONDITIONS [FUNCTIONAL CHECK - 6TH GEAR]

Check Conditions
- Voltage of battery: 8 V or more.
- Voltage of battery: 16.5 V or less.
- Engine speed: 500 r/min or more.
- Time since above engine condition: 400 millisecond or more.
- Shift fork 3 current gear: 6th gear.

Judgment Criteria
- Shift fork position: -6 mm (-0.24 inch) or more, and input shaft 2 (even) speed: 500 r/min or more, or synchro (6th gear) slip speed: 80 r/min or more. (400 millisecond)

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN [FUNCTIONAL CHECK - 6TH GEAR]
The status with the shift fork position -6 mm (-0.24 inch) or less, or with the input shaft 2 (even) speed 500 r/min or less and with the synchro (6th gear) slip speed 80 r/min or less continues for 400 milliseconds.

PROBABLE CAUSES
- Malfunction of TC-SST-ECU
- Malfunction of TC-SST shift fork
- Malfunction of valve body

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. Scan Tool Testing and Procedures
After repairing the CAN bus line, go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check whether the DTC is reset.
1) Erase the DTC.
2) Drive with shifted in the 6th gear.
3) Check that the DTC is reset.

Q. Is DTC No.P1887 set?
YES: Go to Step 3.
NO: Intermittent malfunction. (Refer to - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction. How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

STEP 3. Replace the mechatronic assembly, and check if the DTC is reset.
1) Replace the mechatronic assembly.
2) Drive with shifted in the 6th gear.
3) Check the DTC.

Q. Is DTC No.P1887 set?
YES: Replace the transaxle assembly.
NO: This diagnosis is complete.
