U140F AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE – AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM AX–99

Pressure Control Solenoid "D" Performance

DTC P2714
(Shift Solenoid Valve SLT)
DESCRIPTION

Line Pressure
Control Pressure

Current Flow to Solenoid

ON

OFF

1 Cycle

C131863E01

The throttle pressure that is applied to the primary regulator valve (which modulates the line pressure)
causes the solenoid valve SLT, under electronic control, to precisely modulate and generate the line
pressure according to the extent that the accelerator pedal is depressed or the output of engine power.
This controls the line pressure and provides smooth shifting characteristics.
Upon receiving a signal of the throttle valve opening angle, the ECM controls the line pressure by sending
a predetermined duty ratio* to the solenoid valve, modulating the line pressure and generating throttle
pressure.
HINT:
*: The duty ratio is the ratio of the current ON time (A) to the total of the current ON and OFF time (A + B).
Duty Ratio (%) = A / (A + B) x 100

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area

P2714 ECM detects malfunction on SLT (ON side) • Shift solenoid valve SLT remains open or
according to difference in revolutions of closed
turbine (input) and output shaft (2 trip • Valve body is blocked
detection logic) • Torque converter clutch
• Automatic transaxle (clutch, brake or gear
etc.)
• ECM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
In any forward position, when the difference between the revolutions of the turbine and output shaft
exceeds the specified value (varies with output speed) determined by the ECM, the ECM illuminates the
MIL and outputs the DTC. When shift solenoid valve SLT remains on, the oil pressure goes down and the
clutch engagement force decreases.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Performing the intelligent tester's ACTIVE TEST allows relay, VSV, actuator and other items to be
operated without removing any parts. Performing the ACTIVE TEST early in troubleshooting is one way to
save time.
The DATA LIST can be displayed during the ACTIVE TEST.
1. Warm up the engine.
2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
3. Connect the intelligent tester to the CAN VIM. Then connect the CAN VIM to the DLC3.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
5. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TEST.
6. Perform the ACTIVE TEST.
Item Test Details Diagnostic Note
SOLENOID (SLT)* [Test Details] -
Operate shift solenoid SLT and raise line
pressure
[Vehicle Condition]
• Vehicle stopped
• IDL: ON
HINT:
OFF: Line pressure up (when Active Test
"SOLENOID (SLT)" is performed, ECM
commands SLT solenoid to turn OFF)
ON: No action (normal operation)

HINT:
*: "SOLENOID (SLT)" in the ACTIVE TEST is performed to check the line pressure changes by
connecting SST to the automatic transaxle, which is used in the HYDRAULIC TEST (see page AX-16)
as well. Please note that the pressure values in the ACTIVE TEST and HYDRAULIC TEST are
different.

1 CHECK OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P2714)

(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the CAN VIM. Then

connect the CAN VIM to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
(c) Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED
OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES.
(d) Read the DTCs using the tester.
Result
Display (DTC output) Proceed to
Only P2714 is output A
P2714 and other DTCs are output B

HINT:
If any other codes besides P2714 are output, perform
troubleshooting for those DTCs first.
