DTC 332

EBJ. Code 3-3-2

3-3-2 Break in solenoid SL circuit

DTC information


Conditions for DTC







Solenoid SL controls the transmission lock-up function. Solenoid SL operates when battery voltage is applied from the transmission control module (TCM). The solenoid is activated during different driving conditions depending on road speed, throttle position TP and the driving mode selected. If the TCM registers a break on the solenoid SL circuit when the solenoid should not be activated, DTC 3-3-2 is set. Solenoid SL cannot then be activated.


Substitution value

Control Module GROUP I:
No substitution value

Control Module GROUP II:
The transmission control module (TCM) "Emergency mode I" program has been initiated.



Defect cause

- Break in signal wiring
- Malfunction in solenoid
- Contact resistance in connections.


Fault symptom

- No Lock-Up operational.
- Fault-tracing starts with EBJ1.



EBJ1

Checking solenoid SL






- Ignition ON.
- Set gearshift selector to position P

Check solenoid SL using Diagnostic Test Mode 4. Diagnostic Test Mode 4 Use a stethoscope to hear the clicking noise made by the solenoid more clearly.

If solenoid is operating:
- Intermittent fault. Fault-tracing as per EBJ6.

If the solenoid is not operating
- Checking resistance in solenoid SL circuit EBJ2.



EBJ2

Checking resistance in solenoid SL circuit






- Ignition OFF
- Connect test box and check ground points as per GB1-GB2. GB. Connecting the Test Box

- TCM disconnected.

Use an ohmmeter to measure between #9 (#A9) and #20 (#A20) on the test box.
The ohmmeter should read 10-15 Ohms.






If reading is OK:
- The DTC was set because of poor contact in the TCM connector. Check and correct any loose connections in the connector as per FA5, and contact resistance and oxidation as per FA6. FA. Checking Wiring and Connections

If reading is incorrect:
- Checking signal wiring EBJ3.



EBJ3

Checking signal wiring






- Ignition OFF
- Remove the air cleaner (ACL) housing to access the transmission connector
- Disconnect the transmission connector.

Connect an ohmmeter between the transmission connector terminal 23 (TCM side) and #9 (#A9) on the test box.
The ohmmeter should read approx. 0 Ohms.






If reading is OK:
- Checking solenoid SL circuit in the transmission EBJ4.

If reading is incorrect:
- Check the cable between the transmission connector terminal 23 and TCM #A9 for breaks in the circuit as per FA2. FA. Checking Wiring and Connections



EBJ4

Checking solenoid SL circuit in the transmission







- Ignition OFF
- Disconnect transmission connector

Connect an ohmmeter between the transmission connector terminal 23 (transmission side) and the transmission housing.

The ohmmeter should read 10-15 Ohms.

If reading is OK:
- The DTC was set because of poor contact in the transmission connector. Check and correct the transmission connector and the TCM connector for loose connections as per FA5, and contact resistance and oxidation as per FA6. FA. Checking Wiring and Connections

If reading is incorrect:
- Checking resistance in solenoid SL EBJ5.


EBJ5

Checking resistance in solenoid SL






- Ignition OFF
- Open the control system, as per R1-R13.
Disconnect solenoid SL.

Use an ohmmeter to measure between the pin on solenoid SL and the transmission housing (ground point).
The ohmmeter should read 10-15 Ohms.

If reading is OK:
- Check the cable between the solenoid SL and transmission connector terminal 23 for breaks in the circuit as per FA2. FA. Checking Wiring and Connections

If replacing cable harness, refer to R4-R57.

If reading is incorrect:
- Try a new solenoid SL as per R20.



EBJ6

Intermittent fault

Checking wiring and connections






- Check the connectors for the transmission and the transmission control module (TCM) for loose connections as per FA5, and contact resistance and oxidation as per FA6. FA. Checking Wiring and Connections

- Check the wiring between solenoid SL in the transmission and TCM #A9 for intermittent short circuit as per FA2. FA. Checking Wiring and Connections
