DTC P0746 Pressure Control Solenoid "A" Performance (Shift Solenoid Valve SL1) |
DTC P0771 Shift Solenoid "E" Performance (Shift Solenoid Valve SR) |
DESCRIPTION
The TCM uses signals from the output shaft speed sensor and input speed sensor to detect the actual gear position (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th gear).Then the TCM compares the actual gear with the shift schedule in the TCM memory to detect mechanical problems with the shift solenoid valves, valve body or automatic transmission (clutch, brake, gear, etc.).
DTC Code | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
P0746 | The gear required by the TCM does not match the actual gear when driving (2-trip detection logic). |
|
P0771 | The gear required by the TCM does not match the actual gear when driving (2-trip detection logic*1, 1-trip detection logic*2). |
|
*2: w/o OBD
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
These DTCs indicate a stuck ON malfunction or stuck OFF malfunction of shift solenoid valves SR and SL1.The TCM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves ON/OFF. When the gear position commanded by the TCM and the actual gear position are not the same, the TCM illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
ACTIVE TEST |
- HINT:
- Using the intelligent tester to perform Active Tests allows relays, VSVs, actuators and other items to be operated without removing any parts. This non-intrusive functional inspection can be very useful because intermittent operation may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Performing Active Tests early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time. Data List information can be displayed while performing Active Tests.
Warm up the engine.
Turn the ignition switch off.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the intelligent tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Active Test.
According to the display on the tester, perform the Active Test.
- HINT:
- While driving, the shift position can be forcibly changed with the intelligent tester.
- Comparing the shift position commanded by the Active Test with the actual shift position enables you to confirm the problem (LandCruiser RM000000O8L0SMX.html).
ECT Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note Control the Shift Position Operate shift solenoid valve and set each shift position - Press "→" button: Shift up
- Press "←" button: Shift down
Possible to check operation of the shift solenoid valves.
[Vehicle Condition]
50 km/h (31 mph) or less- HINT:
- This test can be conducted when the vehicle speed is 50 km/h (31 mph) or less.
- The 4th to 5th up-shift must be performed with the accelerator pedal released.
- The 5th to 4th down-shift must be performed with the accelerator pedal released.
- Do not operate the accelerator pedal for at least 2 seconds after shifting and do not shift successively.
- The shift position commanded by the TCM is shown in the Data List display on the tester.
- Shift solenoid valves SL1 and SR are turned ON/OFF normally when the shift lever is in D.

1.CHECK DTC OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTCS P0746 AND P0771) |
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the intelligent tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / DTC.
Read the DTCs using the tester.
Result Result Proceed to - Only P0746 and P0771 are output
- Only P0771 is output
A P0746, P0771 and other DTCs are output B - HINT:
- If any other codes besides P0746 and P0771 are output, perform troubleshooting for those DTCs first.
- Only P0746 and P0771 are output

2.PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SLT) |
- NOTICE:
- Perform the test while the ATF temperature is between 50 and 80°C (122 and 176°F).
- Be careful to prevent the hose of SST from interfering with the exhaust pipe.
- Perform the test with the A/C off.
- HINT:
- Using the intelligent tester to perform Active Tests allows relays, VSVs, actuators and other items to be operated without removing any parts. This non-intrusive functional inspection can be very useful because intermittent operation may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Performing Active Tests early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time. Data List information can be displayed while performing Active Tests.
Remove the test plug from the transmission case and connect SST.

- 09992-00095(09992-00231,09992-00271)
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Start the engine and warm it up.
Measure the line pressure with SST.
Turn the intelligent tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Active Test.
According to the display on the tester, perform the Active Test.
Measure the line pressure.
ECT Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note Activate the Solenoid (SLT)* Operate shift solenoid valve SLT and raise line pressure ON or OFF - HINT:
- OFF: Line pressure up (when Active Test "Activate the Solenoid (SLT)" is performed, TCM commands shift solenoid valve SLT to turn OFF)
- ON: No action (normal operation)
[Vehicle Condition] - Vehicle stopped
- Engine idling
- HINT:
- *: Activate the Solenoid (SLT) in the Active Test is performed to check the line pressure changes by connecting SST to the automatic transmission, which is used in the Hydraulic Test (LandCruiser RM000000W7B0TAX.html) as well. Note that the pressure values in the Active Test and hydraulic test are different.
- OK:
- The line pressure changes as specified when performing the Active Test.
