Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Lexus IS 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. ACTIVE TEST 

    HINT:

    Using the Techstream to perform Active Test 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 Test early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time. Data List information can be displayed while performing Active Test.

    1. Warm up the engine.
    2. Turn the engine switch off.
    3. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    4. Turn the engine switch on (IG) position.
    5. Turn the Techstream on.
    6. Select the item "Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test".
    7. According to the display on tester, perform the "Active Test".

      HINT:

      While driving, the shift position can be forcibly changed with the Techstream.

      Comparing the shift position commanded by the Active Test with the actual shift position enables you to confirm the problem (See FAIL-SAFE CHART  ).

      ACTIVE CHART

      Item Test Details Diagnostic Note
      Control the Shift Position [Test Details]
      Operate the shift solenoid valve and set the each shift position by yourself.
      [Vehicle Condition]
      • IDL: ON (4th, 5th and 6th)
      • Less than 50 km/h (31 mph)

      [Others]
      • Press "→" button: Shift up
      • Press "←" button: Shift down
      Possible to check the operation of the shift solenoid valves.

      HINT:

      • This test can be conducted when the vehicle speed is 50 km/h (31 mph) or less.
      • The 4th to 5th and 5th to 6th up-shiftings must be performed with the accelerator pedal released.
      • The 6th to 5th and 5th to 4th down-shiftings 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 ECM is shown in the Data List (Shift Status) display on the Techstream.
      • The shift solenoid valve S2 is turned on/off normally when the shift lever is in the D position:

    1. CHECK OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0756) 
      1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
      2. Turn the engine switch on (IG) position and push the Techstream main switch ON.
      3. When you use Techstream:

        Select the item "Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes".

      4. Read the DTCs using the Techstream.

        Result 

        RESULT REFERENCE

        Display (DTC output) Proceed to
        Only "P0756" is output A
        "P0756" and other DTCs B

        HINT:

        If any other codes besides "P0756" are output, perform troubleshooting for those DTCs first.

      B: GO TO DTC CHART 

      A: Go to next step 

    2. INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE S2 
      1. Remove the shift solenoid valve S2.
      2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard resistance 

        TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

        Tester Connection Specified Condition 20°C (68°F)
        Solenoid Connector (S2) - Solenoid Body (S2) 11 to 15 Ω
      3. Connect the positive (+) lead to the terminal of the solenoid connector, and the negative (-) lead to the solenoid body.

        OK: 

        The solenoid makes an operating sound.

      NG: REPLACE SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE S2 

      OK: Go to next step 

    3. INSPECT TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY ASSEMBLY 

      OK: 

      There are no foreign objects on each valve. 

    NG: REPLACE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY ASSEMBLY 

    OK: REPAIR OR REPLACE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY
