DESCRIPTION
Changing from 1st to 6th is performed by the TCM turning shift solenoid valves
SL1, SL2, SL3, SL4 and SL on and off. If an open or short circuit occurs in any
of the shift solenoid valves, the TCM controls the remaining normal shift solenoid
valves to allow the vehicle to be operated (See page
).

The TCM checks for an open or short in the shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit while driving and shifting gears. (1-trip detection logic)

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates an open or short in the shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit. The TCM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves on or off. When there is an open or short circuit in any of the shift solenoid valve circuits, the TCM detects the problem and illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC. The TCM also performs the fail-safe function and turns the other normal shift solenoid valves on or off. (In case of an open or short circuit, the TCM stops sending current to the circuit.)
While driving and shifting gears, if the TCM detects an open or short in the
shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit, the TCM determines there is a malfunction (See
page ).
