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 operations 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 driven smoothly.
(If an open or short circuit occurs, the ECM stops sending current to the affected circuit.)
Fail-safe function (YARIS_NCP93 RM000000O8L0IEX.html).

DTC No.
DTC Detection Condition
Trouble Area
P0976
ECM detects short in solenoid valve S2 circuit 4 times when solenoid valve S2 is operated (1-trip detection logic).
  1. Wire harness or connector
  2. Transmission wire
  3. Shift solenoid valve S2
  4. ECM
P0977
ECM detects open in solenoid valve S2 circuit 4 times when solenoid valve S2 is not operated (1-trip detection logic).
  1. Wire harness or connector
  2. Transmission wire
  3. Shift solenoid valve S2
  4. ECM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves ON/OFF. When there is an open or short circuit in the shift solenoid valve S2 circuit, the ECM detects the problem and the MIL comes on. Illuminating the MIL, the ECM performs the fail-safe and turns the other functioning shift solenoid valve ON/OFF.
(If an open or short circuit occurs, the ECM stops sending current to the affected circuit.)
