P2797

DTC P2797 (2.4L Hybrid)

Diagnostic Instructions

* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.



DTC Descriptor
DTC P2797
- Auxiliary Transmission Fluid Pump Performance




Circuit/System Description

The auxiliary transmission fluid pump is an electrical device that is used with the auxiliary transmission fluid pump relay to maintain transmission fluid line pressure to the transmission during Engine Idle Off mode. The auxiliary transmission fluid pump attaches to the transmission side cover assembly. The auxiliary transmission fluid pump relay receives voltage through the battery positive voltage circuit. The starter generator control module (SGCM) controls the auxiliary pump by providing the ground path on the auxiliary pump relay control circuit. The SGCM monitors the auxiliary transmission fluid pump relay control circuit voltage.


Conditions for Running the DTC

* The engine is not running and is in Hybrid engine OFF mode.
* The auxiliary transmission fluid pump is commanded ON.



Conditions for Setting the DTC

The auxiliary transmission fluid pump is commanded ON and the transmission fluid pressure (TFP) switches remain open for 30 seconds or more.


Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* DTC P2797 is a Type B DTC.
* The SGCM inhibits auxiliary transmission fluid pump operation.
* The SGCM inhibits Engine Idle Off mode.



Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P2797 is a Type B DTC.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Verify that DTC P0B09, P1808, P1809 or P2796 is not set.

• If any of the DTCs are set, refer to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview).

2. Perform the Transmission Fluid Check (4T45-E Automatic Transaxle) to verify correct fluid level and condition. The transmission fluid level should be within the crosshatch band and the transmission fluid should be red or dark brown.

• If the transmission fluid is low or discolored, refer to Transmission Fluid Check (4T45-E Automatic Transaxle).

3. Ignition ON, engine OFF, command the ECM Aux Trans Pump ON and OFF with a scan tool. Listen for the auxiliary transmission pump operation. A stethoscope may be necessary to hear pump operation.



Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, Install J 21867 at the line pressure tap.
2. Ignition ON, engine OFF. Command the ECM Aux Trans Pump ON with the scan tool. The Pressure should be greater than 20 PSI.

• If less than the specified value, inspect for:


* Restricted auxiliary transmission fluid pump pickup filter
* Restricted auxiliary transmission fluid pump pickup filter
* Kinked or pinched auxiliary fluid pump inlet/outlet pipes


• If no problems are found, replace the auxiliary transmission fluid pump.

3. Test or replace the TFP manual valve position switch.



Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.

* Transmission Fluid Check (4T45-E Automatic Transaxle)
* Auxiliary Fluid Pump Replacement (Auxiliary Fluid Pump Replacement)
* Transmission Fluid Pressure Manual Valve Position Switch Replacement (Service and Repair)
* Auxiliary Fluid Pump Outlet Pipe Replacement (Auxiliary Fluid Pump Outlet Pipe Replacement)
* Auxiliary Fluid Pump Inlet Pipe Replacement (Auxiliary Fluid Pump Inlet Pipe Replacement)
