P0746




P0746 PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID A

Description

- When an abnormal gear ratio is detected on the LOW side due to a low line pressure with the line pressure solenoid valve electrically normal, this phenomenon is judged as a malfunction.
- This DTC is not caused by an electrical malfunction (circuit open or short) but is caused by a mechanical malfunction (control valve clogging, solenoid valve sticking, and others).

YES- GO TO 4.
NO- Repair or replace damaged parts.

4. CHECK SECONDARY SPEED SENSOR SYSTEM

Check secondary speed sensor system. P0720.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 5.
NO- Repair or replace damaged parts.

5. CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT

Intermittent Incident.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- Replace transaxle assembly. Exploded View.
NO- Repair or replace damaged parts.


Component Inspection (Line Pressure Solenoid Valve)


1. CHECK LINE PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE

Check resistance between CVT unit harness connector terminal and ground.





Is the inspection result normal?
YES- INSPECTION END
NO- Line pressure solenoid valve is malfunctioning. Replace transaxle assembly. Exploded View.
