DESCRIPTION
Based on signals from the transmission revolution sensors (NT, NC3 and NC), the actual gear is detected.
The ECM compares the actual gear with the shift schedule in the ECM memory to detect mechanical malfunctions of the shift solenoid valves, transmission valve body assembly and automatic transaxle assembly (clutch, brake, gear, etc.).
Actual gear when shift solenoid valve SL3 (without fail-safe control) malfunction occurs: ECM commanded gear | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th | 8th |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
*: Neutral | ||||||||
Actual gear during SL3 stuck ON malfunction | 3rd | 3rd | 3rd | 3rd | 7th | 7th | 7th | 7th |
Actual gear during SL3 stuck OFF malfunction | 1st | 2nd | N (1st)* | 4th | 5th | 6th | N* | 8th |

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves on and off. According to the input shaft revolution (speed), C3 clutch drum revolution (speed) and output shaft revolution (speed), the ECM detects the actual gear (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th or 8th gear). When the gear commanded by the ECM and the actual gear are not the same, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.
