DTC P1833: Shift Fork Position Sensor 4 System (Output 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 output of the shift fork position sensor 4 is normal.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

The output of the shift fork position sensor 4 is determined to be abnormal.

MONITOR EXECUTION

Continuous

PROBABLE CAUSES

Malfunction of TC-SST-ECU
Malfunction of shift fork position sensor 4

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?

	Go to Step 2.

	Repair the CAN bus lines. (Refer to GROUP 54C - Troubleshooting .) After repairing the CAN bus line, go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check whether the DTC is reset.

After driving in the 4th gear, check that the DTC is reset.

Q. Is DTC No. P1833 set?

	Replace the transaxle assembly. (Refer to .)

	Intermittent malfunction. (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction .)
