Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2024 Repair Manual: Pressure Control Solenoid "C" Actuator Stuck Off (P07957F)

Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2024 Repair Manual / Drivetrain / U881e (automatic Transmission / Transaxle) / Automatic Transaxle System / Pressure Control Solenoid "C" Actuator Stuck Off (P07957F)

DESCRIPTION

Based on signals from the transmission revolution sensors (NT, NC3 and NC), the actual gear is detected.

The ECM compares the actual gear with the shift schedule in the ECM memory to detect mechanical malfunctions of the shift solenoid valves, transmission valve body assembly and automatic transaxle assembly (clutch, brake, gear, etc.).

Pressure Control Solenoid "C" Actuator Stuck Off

1. Diagnosis Condition, 2. Malfunction Status, 3. Malfunction Time, 4. Other

SL3 stuck ON malfunction:
  • Engine coolant temperature is 40°C (104°F) or higher, ATF temperature is -10°C (14°F) or higher, and the vehicle is being driven with the shift lever in D (no malfunctions are detected in the shift solenoid valves SL1, SL2, SL3, SL4, SL5 and S1, transmission revolution sensors (NT, NC3, NC), coolant temperature sensor, oil temperature sensor, knock control sensor, electronic throttle or CAN2)
  • One of the following occurs:
    1. When the ECM commands the transaxle to shift to 1st, 2nd or 4th gear, the actual gear changes to 3rd gear.
    2. When the ECM commands the transaxle to shift to 5th, 6th or 8th gear, the actual gear changes to 7th gear.
  • Malfunction status continues for 0.6 seconds or more
  • 2-trip detection logic
SL3 stuck OFF malfunction:
  • Engine coolant temperature is 40°C (104°F) or higher, ATF temperature is -10°C (14°F) or higher, and the vehicle is being driven with the shift lever in D (no malfunctions are detected in the shift solenoid valves SL1, SL2, SL3, SL4, SL5 and S1, transmission revolution sensors (NT, NC3, NC), coolant temperature sensor, oil temperature sensor, knock control sensor, electronic throttle or CAN2)
  • When the ECM commands the transaxle to shift to 3rd or 7th gear, the engine overruns (neutral status).
  • Malfunction status continues for 0.5 seconds or more
  • 2-trip detection logic
  • Shift solenoid valve S1
  • Shift solenoid valve SLT
  • Shift solenoid valve SL1
  • Shift solenoid valve SL2

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves on and off. According to the input shaft revolution (speed), C3 clutch drum revolution (speed) and output shaft revolution (speed), the ECM detects the actual gear (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th or 8th gear). When the gear commanded by the ECM and the actual gear are not the same, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.
