DTC P1778: Malfunction of Stepper Motor

STEPPER MOTOR SYSTEM CIRCUIT

Refer to P1777.

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION

TCM conducts the fault detection of the stepper motor by comparing the target value of the primary pulley speed with the actual value. (Target value: Actual secondary pulley speed multiplied by pulley ratio corresponding to stepper motor position) (Actual measurement value:
Actual primary pulley speed)

JUDGEMENT CRITERIA

The difference between the target value of the primary pulley speed and the actual measurement value is greater than the standard value, the difference between the target pulley ratio and the actual pulley ratio is 0.3 or greater, and this status continues for 5 seconds.

PROBABLE CAUSES

- Malfunction of TCM
- Malfunction of valve body assembly (Faulty stepper motor)

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Check other diagnosis codes.

Q. Are other diagnosis codes set?

YES Carry out the appropriate troubleshooting.
NO Go to Step 2.
STEP 2. Symptom recheck after erasing diagnosis code

Q. Is the check result normal?

YES Intermittent malfunction
NO Replace the TCM, and then go to Step 3.
STEP 3. Retest the system.

Q. Is the check result normal?

YES The inspection is complete.
