Monitor Description

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 14 other vehicles, including the 2024 Lexus IS 350, 2024 Lexus IS 300, 2023 Lexus IS 350, 2023 Lexus IS 300, and 2022 Lexus IS 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The ECM calculates the amount of heat absorbed by the friction material based on the difference in speed (clutch slippage) between the turbine and output shaft. The ECM illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC when the amount of heat absorption exceeds the specified value.

There are two causes of speed difference.

When shift solenoid valve SLT remains ON, oil pressure decreases, which causes the clutch engagement force to decrease.
When a shift solenoid valve remains ON or OFF, the gear position commanded by the ECM and the actual gear position are not the same.

NOTE:

If you continue driving under these conditions, the clutch will burn out and the vehicle will no longer be drivable.
