DTC SET CONDITIONS

Check Conditions
Solenoid status: plunging into connecting condition.
Transmission range switch position: D.

Judgement Criteria
Time during 100% duty: 4 seconds or more.
OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN
Start the engine, and drive at 100 km/h (62 mph) for 10 seconds. Then stop the vehicle, and turn OFF the ignition switch. After that, restart the engine, and drive again at 100 km/h (62 mph) for 10 seconds.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely causes for this code to be set are:
Malfunction of the torque converter clutch solenoid valve
Malfunction of the input shaft speed sensor
Malfunction of the valve body
Damaged harness or connector
Malfunction of the PCM
Malfunction of the torque converter
