DTC P0976 Shift Solenoid "B" Control Circuit Low (Shift Solenoid Valve S2)

DTC P0977 Shift Solenoid "B" Control Circuit High (Shift Solenoid Valve S2)


DESCRIPTION

Shifting from 1st to 4th is performed in combination with the on and off operation of shift solenoid valves S1 and S2, which are controlled by the ECM. If an open or short circuit occurs in either of the shift solenoid valves, the ECM controls the remaining normal shift solenoid valve to allow the vehicle to be operated safely. Also, the ECM stops sending current to the open or short-circuited solenoid (HILUX_TGN26 RM000000O8L0KVX.html).

DTC Code
DTC Detection Condition
Trouble Area
P0976
ECM detects a short in the solenoid valve S2 circuit 4 times when solenoid valve S2 is operated (1-trip detection logic).
  1. Short in shift solenoid valve S2 circuit
  2. Shift solenoid valve S2
  3. ECM
P0977
ECM detects an open in the solenoid valve S2 circuit 4 times when solenoid valve S2 is not operated (1-trip detection logic).
  1. Open in shift solenoid valve S2 circuit
  2. Shift solenoid valve S2
  3. ECM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

These DTCs indicate an open or short in the shift solenoid valve S2 circuit. When there is an open or short circuit in either shift solenoid valve circuit, the ECM detects the problem, illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC. When shift solenoid valve S2 is on, if its resistance is 8 Ω or less, the ECM determines there is a short in the shift solenoid valve S2 circuit.
When shift solenoid valve S2 is off, if its resistance is 100 kΩ or higher, the ECM determines there is an open in the shift solenoid valve S2 circuit (HILUX_TGN26 RM000000O8L0KVX.html).
