STEP	CHECK	YES	NO
1.CHECK HARNESS. CAUTION: Start work after ATF cools down. 1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF. 2) Disconnect the TCM connector. 3) Remove the transmission valve cover. 4) Disconnect the control valve body connector. 5) Measure the resistance between TCM connector and control valve body connector. Connector & terminal (T10) No. 47 — (T11) No. 2:	Is the resistance less than 1 --	Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC P0974 SHIFT SOLENOID "A" CONTROL CIRCUIT HIGH	Repair the open circuit of harness.
2.CHECK HARNESS. 1) Turn the ignition switch to ON. 2) Measure the voltage between TCM connector and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (T10) No. 47 (+) — Chassis ground (−):	Is the voltage approx. 0 V-	Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC P0974 SHIFT SOLENOID "A" CONTROL CIRCUIT HIGH	Repair the short circuit of harness.
3.CHECK PRIMARY UP SOLENOID. 1) Connect the connector for control valve body. 2) Measure the resistance between TCM connector and transmission body. Connector & terminal (T10) No. 47 — Transmission body:	Is the resistance approx. 10 — 13.5 -- (when cold)	Check for poor contact of connector, and if no fault is found, replace the TCM.

3. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS

• Detect short circuit to power supply or open circuit of the shift-up fluid pressure control solenoid drive circuit.

• Judge as NG if an open circuit or a power-supply short circuit is detected more than 10 times in the shift-up fluid pressure control solenoid drive circuit.

4. EXECUTION CONDITION

Secondary Parameters	Execution condition
12 V battery system voltage	≥ 9 V
Commanded duty of shift up pressure control solenoid	0%

5. DIAGNOSTIC METHOD

If the duration of time while the following conditions are met is longer than the time indicated, judge as NG.

Judgment Value

Malfunction Criteria	Threshold Value
Signal of malfunction from solenoid driver IC	ON
As defined by:
Measured shift up pressure control solenoid voltage ≥ 2.5 V

Time Needed for Diagnosis: 0.2 seconds

Malfunction Indicator Light Illumination: Illuminates as soon as a malfunction occurs.
