NOTE: Record all freeze data and review General Troubleshooting Information before you troubleshoot.

1. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on).
2. Make sure that the transmission is filled to the proper level, and check for fluid leaks.
3. Drain the ATF through a strainer. Inspect the strainer for metal debris or excessive clutch material.
Does the strainer have metal debris or excessive clutch material?
YES - Replace the transmission.
NO - Replace the ATF, then go to step 4.

4. Measure the line pressure.
Is the line pressure within the service limit?
YES - Go to step 5.
NO - Repair the ATF pump and regulator valve, or replace the transmission.

5. Measure the 4th clutch pressure
Is the 4th clutch pressure within the service limit?
YES - Go to step 6.
NO - Shift valves A, B, C, and D are stuck. Repair the shift valves and hydraulic circuit, or replace the transmission.

6. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
7. Test-drive the vehicle for several minutes under the same conditions as those indicated by the freeze data, or drive in 4th gear in the D position at speeds over 10 mph (16 km/h) for 20 seconds. Slow down and stop the wheels.
8. Monitor the OBD status for P0734 in the DTCs/Freeze Data in A/T Mode Menu for a pass/fail.
Does the result indicate FAILED?
YES - Repair the 4th clutch, or replace the transmission.
NO - intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. If the tester indicates NOT COMPLETED, return to step 7 and recheck.
