A340E Automatic Transmission System





A340E AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM: P2716: Pressure Control Solenoid "D" Electrical (Shift Solenoid Valve SLT)
P2716 - Pressure Control Solenoid "D" Electrical (Shift Solenoid Valve SLT)

DESCRIPTION

The linear solenoid valve (SLT) controls the transmission line pressure for smooth transmission operation based on signals from the throttle position sensor and vehicle speed sensor. The ECM adjusts the duty ratio of the solenoid valve SLT to control the hydraulic line pressure coming from the primary regulator valve. Appropriate line pressure assures smooth shifting with varying engine outputs.





1. Reference (Using an oscilloscope):





Check the waveform between terminals SLT+ and SLT- of the ECM connector.

Standard:

Refer to the illustration.





MONITOR DESCRIPTION

When an open or short is detected in the linear solenoid valve (SLT) circuit, the ECM interprets this as a fault. The ECM turns on the MIL and stores the DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
Perform the universal trip to clear permanent DTCs DTC Check / Clear.

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT TRANSMISSION WIRE (SLT)





(a) Disconnect the transmission wire connector from the transmission.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard resistance:





NG -- INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SLT
OK -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION WIRE - ECM)





(a) Connect the transmission wire connector to the transmission.

(b) Disconnect the ECM connector.

(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard resistance:





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

OK -- REPLACE ECM Removal

3. INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SLT





(a) Remove the shift solenoid valve SLT.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard resistance:





(c) Connect the battery's positive (+) lead with a 21 W bulb to terminal 2 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 1 of the solenoid valve connector. Then check that the valve moves and makes an operating noise.

OK:

Valve moves and makes an operating noise.

NG -- REPLACE SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SLT

OK -- REPAIR OR REPLACE TRANSMISSION WIRE Removal
