DTC P0758 (FLASHING CODE 32) SOLENOID 2 FAILURE (S2)
D07RY00047Circuit description:
The solenoid S2 changes the hydraulic route with the
signals from the TCM according to the vehicle speed and
the throttle opening to control shifting. When the solenoid
S1 or S2 fails, the hydraulic circuit is mechanically
operated as a backup.
Fail-safe control:
The TCM controls fail-safe by detecting S1, S2 shift
solenoid failure.
Failure detection:
GND SHORT detection
• When SHORT detection continues for 0.3 sec.
• When SHORT failure detection continues 8 times.
Open detection
• When OPEN detection continues for 0.5 sec.
• When OPEN failure detection continues 8 times.
Contents of control:
At failure detection
• Lock-up control inhibit
• Up hill and down hill control inhibit
• Squat control inhibit
• Changes solenoid output pattern as "The shift theory
at shift solenoid failure". (See DTC P0753)
At failure decision
Executes following items in addition to above control
items at failure detection.
• Turns Solenoid power supply OFF
• Blinks "CHECK TRANS" lamp
• Stores the failure information in failure-memory
*Prohibits failure detection of S1, S2, SL, STH,Selector position switch, and Oil temperature sensor.
Conditions of turning "CHECK TRANS" off:
Turns "CHECK TRANS" lamp off after ignition is turned
ON
OFF ON.
Reversion conditions from fail-safe:
At failure detection
When a normal judgment is obtained by rechecking
during shifting.
At failure decision
Recovers at the same time as the conditions of
turning “CHECK TRANS” lamp off are satisfied.
Test description:
The following numbers correspond to circled numbers on
the diagnostic char t.
1 With the key "ON", the voltage between the TCM
terminals (C78-3) or (C78-15 or 19) is 1V or less.
2 When the driving wheels revolve with the 2nd
speed gear, the voltage is 8 to 16V.
3 The resistance of the solenoid is in the range of
11 to 15
.
Diagnostic aids:
In case of faulty connection, open or shor ted circuit to the
TCM terminal (C78-3), DTC P0758 is displayed. A
intermittent failure may be caused by a poor connection,
rubbed through wire insulation or a wire broken inside
the insulation.

7A–50 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (AW30-40LE)
DTC P1121 (FLASHING CODE 23) ANALOG THROTTLE SIGNAL FAILURE (VREF, VGND)
D07RY00023Circuit description:
When the signal of the engine throttle position sensor
located on the accelerator pedal is supplied to the
transmission TCM, the TCM judges the opening
condition of the throttle.
The shift point of the transmission is determined by this
opening condition of the throttle.
Fail-safe control:
The TCM controls fail-safe by detecting analog throttle
signal (VREF, VGND) failure.
Failure detection:
• When the Vref input voltage is detected more than
5.55V or less than 4.45V.
• When the Vgnd input voltage is detected more than
0.40V or less than -0.40V.
• When the failure criteria is continuously for 1.0 sec.
Contents of control:
At failure detection
• Judges throttle opening of linear sensor (Vth) as
Vref:5V, Vgnd:0V
• Throttle learning control inhibit
• Up hill and down hill control inhibit
At failure decision
Executes following items in addition to above control
items at failure detection.
• Stores the failure information in failure-memory
Conditions of turning “CHECK TRANS” lamp off:
None
Reversion conditions from fail-safe:
At failure detection
When the Vref input voltage is detected less than 5.55 V
and more than 4.45 V.
When the Vgnd input voltage is detected less than 0.40 V
and more than -0.40 V.
At failure decision
• Recovers when judged 0km/h by output revolutionsensor after the Vref input voltage is detected less
than 5.55V and more than 4.45V.
(however, uses 0 km/h judgment by back-up vehicle
speed at output revolution failure)
• Recovers when judged 0km/h by output revolution
sensor after the Vgnd input voltage is detected less
than 0.40V and more than -0.40V.
(however, uses 0 km/h judgment by back-up vehicle
speed at output revolution failure)
Test description:
The following numbers correspond to circled numbers on
the diagnostic char t.
(1) Check the power supply voltage (4.75-5.25V) of
throttle position sensor.
Diagnostic aids:
An intermittent may be caused by a poor connection,
rubbed through wire insulation or a wire broken inside
the insulation. Inspect related harness connector for
backed out terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, poor terminal
to wire connection and damaged harness.

TCM VOLTAGE CHECK
TCM voltage check is done to check for transmission and
transmission control module (TCM) problems which cannot be
detected by self-diagnosis.
Additionally, it serves as a back-up check for self-diagnosis.
Measure the voltage drop and make a continuity test for each
of the sensors, solenoids, and switches.
If the voltage is within the specified range and continuity exists,
that particular area of the TCM and automatic transmission
assembly is normal.
If voltage deviation or lack of continuity is discovered,
disconnect the applicable parts and check each of them
individually.
This will allow you to determine the trouble location (TCM,
automatic transmission unit, or another area of the vehicle).
Inspection Tool
Use a circuit tester to measure voltage and circuit continuity.
Inser t the test probes from the connector wiring side. TCM
terminals are extremely small.
Wrap a piece of thin wire around the probe of tester.
This will make measurement easier.
TCM Voltage Check Procedure
1. Remove the TCM.
2. Turn the ignition switch on. Do not start the engine.
3. Measure the voltage at the terminal. Refer to
the following
table for the specified voltage ranges.

BRAKE SIGNAL INSPECTION
Check that the brake light comes on when the brake pedal is
depressed.
VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR INSPECTION
1. Connect the Vehicle speed sensor connector terminal (1) to
the battery ( +) terminal and terminal (2) to the battery (-)
terminal.
2. Connect a resistance of 1.3k ohm to 5k ohm (1.4W or
more) between terminals (1) and (3).
NOTE:
Be extremely careful not to connect the battery (+) terminal
to the terminal (3)
This may damage the vehicle speed sensor.
3. Rotate the shaft of the vehicle speed sensor slowly and
measure the voltage at both ends with a digital tester.
Replace the sensor when the result of inspection is found
abnormal.
INPUT AND OUTPUT REVOLUTION
SENSOR INSPECTION
Use an ohmmeter to measure the resistance between
terminals 1 and 2.The voltage, with one rotation of shaft, fluctuates four
times in the following range: 10 to 14V
2V or less.
Standard resistance 560 – 680
(20C)
610 – 740
(40C)
