DTC P0778: Pressure Control Solenoid "B" Electrical (Shift Solenoid Valve SL2): Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Toyota Matrix. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- INSPECT TRANSMISSION WIRE (SL2)
- Disconnect the transmission wire connector from the transaxle.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 5 (SL2+) - 12 (SL2-) 20°C (68°F) 5.0 to 5.6 Ω - Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance (Check for short)
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 5 (SL2+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher 12 (SL2-) - Body ground Always
NG → See step 3
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION WIRE - ECM)
- Connect the transmission wire connector to the transaxle.
- Disconnect the connector from the ECM.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition B29-58 (SL2+) - B29-59 (SL2-) 20°C (68°F) 5.0 to 5.6 Ω - Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance (Check for short)
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition B29-58 (SL2+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher B29-59 (SL2-) - Body ground Always
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK → See step 5
- INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SL2
- Remove the shift solenoid valve SL2.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 1 - 2 20°C (68°F) 5.0 to 5.6 Ω - Connect the positive (+) lead with a 21 W bulb to terminal 2 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 1 of the solenoid valve connector, then check the movement of the valve.
OK
The solenoid makes an operating sound.
NG → See step 6
OK → See step 4
- REPAIR OR REPLACE TRANSMISSION WIRE. Refer to REMOVAL
- REPLACE ECM. Refer to REMOVAL
- REPLACE SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SL2. Refer to DISASSEMBLY
