  • Solenoid valve output current: 750 mA or more
  • GND short diagnosis of the solenoid valve circuit is not satisfied.
  • TCM power supply voltage: More than 11 V

Detection conditions

  • After the value of “Actual secondary pressure − Target secondary pressure” exceeds 0.675 MPa:

The rate of change in vehicle speed [km/h (MPH)]: Between −49 (−30) and +49 (+30) inclusive

The rate of change in accelerator pedal angle: Between −1.3/8 and +1.3/8 inclusive
  • Secondary pressure sensor
  • Control valve assembly

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

CAUTION:

Be careful of the driving speed.

1.PREPARATION BEFORE WORK

If another “DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE” occurs just before, turn ignition switch OFF and wait for at least 10 seconds, then perform the next test.

>> GO TO 2.

2.CHECK DTC DETECTION

  1. Start the engine.
  2. Shift the selector lever to “D” position.
  3. Drive the vehicle at a constant velocity of 40 km/h (25 MPH) at lease for 10 seconds.

CAUTION:

At the same time, the accelerator pedal angle must be maintained constant.

  1. Stop the vehicle.
  2. Check the first trip DTC.

Is “P0846”detected? YES >> Go to TM-192, "Diagnosis Procedure".

NO >> INSPECTION END

Diagnosis Procedure

1.CHECK TCM INPUT SIGNAL

  1. Start the engine.
  2. Check voltage between TCM connector terminal and ground.

result normal? Is the inspection
result normal? YES >> Check intermittent incident. Refer to GI-39, "Intermittent Incident".

NO >> There is a malfunction of secondary pressure sensor value. Replace transaxle assembly. Refer to TM-283, "Removal and Installation".
