DTC DETECTION LOGIC
DTC Trouble diagnosis name DTC detection condition Possible causes
The detection conditions continuously for 5
seconds or more under the following diagno-
sis conditions:
• Diagnosis conditions
- Selector lever: “D” position
- The primary pulley speed experienced 306
rpm or more and the secondary pulley
speed experienced 230 rpm or more at
least once.
- Wheel spin is not being detected.
- The rate of change in pulley ratio: Between
−0.09 and +0.09 inclusive
Transmission Fluid Pressure
- Solenoid valve output current: 750 mA or • Secondary pressure sensor
P0846 Sensor/Switch B Circuit
more • Control valve assembly
Range/Performance
- GND short diagnosis of the solenoid valve
circuit is not satisfied.
- TCM power supply voltage: More than 11 V
• Detection conditions
- After the value of “Actual secondary pres-
sure − Target secondary pressure” exceeds
0.675 MPa:
• The rate of change in vehicle speed [km/h
(MPH)]: Between −49 (−30) and +49 (+30)
inclusive
• The rate of change in accelerator pedal an-
gle: Between −1.3/8 and +1.3/8 inclusive
DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
CAUTION:
Be careful of the driving speed.
1.PREPARATION BEFORE WORK
If another "DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE" occurs just before, turn ignition switch OFF and wait for at
least 10 seconds, then perform the next test.
>> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK DTC DETECTION
1. Start the engine.
2. Shift the selector lever to “D” position.
3. Drive the vehicle at a constant velocity of 40 km/h (25 MPH) at lease for 10 seconds.
CAUTION:
At the same time, the accelerator pedal angle must be maintained constant.
4. Stop the vehicle.
5. Check the first trip DTC.
Is “P0846”detected?
YES >> Go to TM-173, "Diagnosis Procedure".
NO >> INSPECTION END
Diagnosis Procedure INFOID:0000000007208309
1.CHECK TCM INPUT SIGNAL
1. Start the engine.
2. Check voltage between TCM connector terminal and ground.

Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> Check intermittent incident. Refer to GI-38, "Intermittent Incident".
NO >> There is a malfunction of secondary pressure sensor value. Replace transaxle assembly. Refer
to TM-249, "Removal and Installation".
