DTC P0734 A/T 4TH GEAR FUNCTION
Revision: June 20062007 Versa
DTC P0734 A/T 4TH GEAR FUNCTIONPFP:31940
DescriptionUCS005ON

This malfunction will not be detected while the OD OFF indicator lamp is indicating another self-diagnosis
malfunction.

This malfunction is detected when the A/T does not shift into fourth gear position or the torque converter
clutch does not lock up as instructed by the TCM. This is not caused by electrical malfunction (circuits
open or shorted) but by mechanical malfunction such as control valve sticking, improper solenoid valve
operation, malfunctioning oil pump or torque converter clutch, etc.
CONSULT-II Reference ValueUCS005OO
Remarks: Specification data are reference values.
On Board Diagnosis LogicUCS005OP

This is an OBD-II self-diagnostic item.

Diagnostic trouble code “P0734 A/T 4TH GR FNCTN” with CONSULT-II is detected when A/T cannot be
shifted to the 4th gear position even if electrical circuit is good.

This diagnosis monitors actual gear position by checking the torque converter slip ratio calculated by TCM
as follows:
Torque converter slip ratio = A x C/B
A: Output shaft revolution signal from revolution sensor
B: Engine speed signal from ECM
C: Gear ratio determined as gear position which TCM supposes
If the actual gear position is much lower than the position (4th) supposed by TCM, the slip ratio will be
much less than normal. In case the ratio does not reach the specified value, TCM judges this diagnosis
malfunction.
This malfunction will be caused when shift solenoid valve A is stuck open or shift solenoid valve B is stuck
closed.

Gear positions supposed by TCM are as follows.
In case of gear position with no malfunctions: 1, 2, 3 and 4 positions
In case of gear position with shift solenoid valve A stuck open: 2, 2, 3 and 3* positions
In case of gear position with shift solenoid valve B stuck closed: 1, 2, 2 and 1* positions to each gear
position above
*: “P0734 A/T 4TH GR FNCTN” is detected.

DTC Confirmation ProcedureUCS005O R
CAUTION:

Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.

If performing this “DTC Confirmation Procedure” again, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait
at least 10 seconds before continuing.
After the repair, perform the following procedure to confirm the malfunction is eliminated.
WITH CONSULT-II
1. Start engine and select “DATA MONITOR” mode for “A/T” with
CONSULT-II.
2. Touch “START”.
3. Make sure that output voltage of A/T fluid temperature sensor is
within the range below.
FLUID TEMP SE: 0.4 - 1.5 V
If out of range, drive the vehicle to decrease the voltage (warm
up the fluid) or stop engine to increase the voltage (cool down
the fluid).
4. Select “4TH GR FNCTN P0734” of “DTC WORK SUPPORT”
mode for “A/T” with CONSULT-II and touch “START”.
5. Accelerate vehicle to 55 to 65 km/h (34 to 40 MPH) under the following conditions and release the accel-
erator pedal completely.
THROTTLE POSI: Less than 5.5/8 (at all times during step 4)
SLCT LVR POSI: “D” position
–Make sure that “GEAR” shows “3” after releasing pedal.
6. Depress accelerator pedal steadily with 1.0/8 - 2.0/8 of “THROTTLE POSI” from a speed of 55 to 65 km/h
(34 to 40 MPH) until “TESTING” has turned to “STOP VEHICLE” or “COMPLETED”. (It will take approxi-
mately 3 seconds.)
If the check result NG appears on CONSULT-II screen, go to AT-130, "
Diagnostic Procedure" .
If “STOP VEHICLE” appears on CONSULT-II screen, go to following step.
–Make sure that “GEAR” shows “4” when depressing accelerator pedal with 1.0/8 - 2.0/8 of
“THROTTLE POSI”.
–If “TESTING” does not appear on CONSULT-II for a long time, select “SELF-DIAG RESULTS” for
“A/T”. In case a DTC other than “P0734 A/T 4TH GR FNCTN” is shown, refer to AT- 8 2 , "
Display
Items List" .
7. Stop vehicle.
8. Follow the instruction displayed. (Check for normal shifting referring to the table below.)
9. Make sure that “OK” is displayed. (If “NG” is displayed, refer to “Diagnostic Procedure”.)
Refer to AT- 1 3 0 , "
Diagnostic Procedure" .
Refer to AT- 6 7 , "
Vehicle Speed at Which Gear Shifting Occurs" .
WITH GST
Follow the procedure “WITH CONSULT-II”.

DTC P0740 TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID VALVE
Revision: June 20062007 Versa
DTC P0740 TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID VALVEPFP:31940
DescriptionUCS005O T

The torque converter clutch solenoid valve is activated, with the gear in D4 and D3 , by the TCM in
response to signals sent from the vehicle speed sensor and the ECM (throttle opening). Lock-up piston
operation will then be controlled.

Lock-up operation, however, is prohibited when A/T fluid temperature is too low.

When the accelerator pedal is depressed (less than 2/8) on lock-up condition, the engine speed should
not change abruptly. If there is an abrupt change in engine speed, there is no lock-up.
CONSULT-II Reference ValueUCS005OU
Remarks: Specification data are reference values.
On Board Diagnosis LogicUCS005OV

This is an OBD-II self-diagnostic item.

Diagnostic trouble code “P0740 T/C CLUTCH SOL/V” with CONSULT-II or 7th judgement flicker without
CONSULT-II is detected when TCM detects an improper voltage drop while it tries to operate solenoid
valve.
Possible CauseUCS005OW

Torque converter clutch solenoid valve

Harness or connector
(The solenoid circuit is open or shorted.)
DTC Confirmation ProcedureUCS005OX
CAUTION:
