DESCRIPTION Changing gears is performed by the ECM turning the solenoid (SL1, SL2, SL3, SL4, SL5 and SL6) valves on and off.
If
an open or short occurs in any of the solenoid valve circuits, the ECM
controls the remaining normal solenoid valves to allow the vehicle to be
driven. If all of the solenoid valves are malfunctioning, only the
mechanical fluid pressure circuit will function and some manual
operation will be possible. If an open or short occurs in a solenoid
valve circuit, the ECM cuts power to the malfunctioning solenoid valve. HINT:
The following table shows normal operation of the solenoid (SL4) valve when the shift lever is in D. Solenoid Valve Operation: |

P2815 | MONITOR DESCRIPTION
This
DTC indicates a short to +B in the solenoid (SL4) valve circuit. The
ECM commands gear shifts by turning the solenoid valves on or off. When
there is an open or short in any solenoid valve circuit, the ECM detects
the problem, illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC. The
ECM performs the fail-safe function and turns the other normal solenoid
valves on or off. In the case of an open or short circuit, the ECM
stops sending current to the open or shorted solenoid. MONITOR STRATEGY |

CAUTION: When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
HINT:
- After repairs have been completed, clear the DTCs and then check that
the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All
Readiness check procedure.
- When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the Clear Permanent DTC procedure.
Click here 
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
- Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
- Turn the engine switch off and wait for 2 minutes or more.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
- Start the engine.
- Perform the D Position Shift Test inspection in Road Test. [*1]

HINT:
[*1] : Normal judgment procedure.
The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.
- Stop the vehicle.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Utility / All Readiness.
- Input the DTC: P280712.
- Check the DTC judgment result.

- Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
|
|
N/A |

HINT:
- If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
- If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
- If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform the normal judgment procedure again.
