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 contain metal debris or excessive clutch material?
YES - Replace the transmission.
NO - Replace the ATF then go to step 4.

4. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
5. Test-drive the vehicle in the D position through all five gears at speeds over 12 mph (20 km/h) for more than 20 seconds, then slow down to a stop.
6. Retest-drive the vehicle in the D position through all five gears at speeds over 12 mph (20 km/h) for more than 20 seconds, then slow down to a stop.
7. Monitor the OBD status for P1 731 in the DTCs/Freeze Data in A/T Mode Menu for a pass/fail.

NO - Follow the instructions indicated on the HDS by the tester result, but if the tester has not determined the cause of the failure, go to step 11. If any part was replaced, go to step 12.

11. Inspect A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A.
Does the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A work properly?
YES - Repair hydraulic system related with shift valve E, or replace the transmission, then go to step 12.
NO - Replace A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A, then go to step 12.

12. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
13. Test-drive the vehicle in the D position through all five gears at speeds over 12 mph (20 km/h) for more than 20 seconds, then slow down to a stop.
