Description
Shifting from 1st to o/d is performed in combination with the on and off operation of the shift solenoid valves sl1 and sl2, which are controlled by the ecm. If an open or short circuit occurs in any of the shift solenoid valves, the ecm controls the remaining normal shift solenoid valves to allow the vehicle to be operated safely (see page ax-31).
Monitor description
This dtc indicates an open or short in the shift solenoid valve s4 circuit. The ecm commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves on/off. When there is an open or short circuit in any shift solenoid valve circuit, the ecm detects the problem, illuminates the mil and stores the dtc. Also, the ecm performs the fail-safe function and turns the other normal shift solenoid valves on/off. In case of an open or short circuit, the ecm stops sending current to the circuit (see page ax-31).

Basic inspection
When a malfunction is not confirmed by the dtc check,
troubleshooting should be carried out in all circuits
considered to be possible causes of the problem. In many
cases, by carrying out the basic engine check shown in the
following flowchart, the location of the problem can be found

Hint:
Use the table below to help determine the cause of the
problem symptom. The potential causes of the symptoms are
listed in order of probability in the "suspected area" column
of the table. Check each symptom by checking the suspected

If your vehicle has to
be stopped in an
emergency
Only in an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible to stop
the vehicle in the normal way, stop the vehicle using the following
procedure:
Steadily step on the brake pedal with both feet and firmly depress it.
Do not pump the brake pedal repeatedly as this will increase the effort
