P0746 PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID A

Description

- When line pressure solenoid valve is under electrically normal condition, if unusual gear change ratio at
LOW side is detected due to low line pressure, it is judged as malfunction.
- This DTC is not caused by electrical malfunction (circuit is open or shorted), but caused by mechanical malfunction (control valve clogging, solenoid valve sticking, etc.).

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE


CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.

1. PRECONDITIONING

If "DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE" has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.
- GO TO 2.

2. CHECK DTC DETECTION

With CONSULT
1.Start the engine.
2.Warm up the engine. [Set the CVT fluid to 20�C (68�F) or more.]
NOTE:
When the ambient temperature is 20�C (68�F), the CVT fluid usually increases to 50 to 80�C (122 to
176�F) with driving in an urban area for approximately 10 minutes.
3.Drive the vehicle.
4.Maintain the following conditions for 1 second or more.





5.Stop the vehicle.
6.Check DTC.
With GST
Follow the procedure "With CONSULT".
