Circuit/System Description
The shift control solenoid assembly (SLC1, SLC2, SLC3,
SLB1) and the line pressure control solenoid (SLT) are
installed on the front valve body. The solenoids linearly control
hydraulic pressure in response to signals output from the
transmission control module (TCM). SLC1, SLC2, SLC3, SLB1
controls hydraulic pressure to the clutches (C1, C2, C3) and
brake (B1) for smooth shifting. According to each shift
control solenoid assembly, the transmission shifts from 1st gear
into 6th gear and vice versa. As a fail-safe function, if any shift
control solenoid assembly abnormality occurs, the TCM will disable
the current to the solenoids.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• |
The ignition voltage is 10.2-15.5 V. |
• |
The engine speed is greater than 500 RPM for
2 s. |
• |
The transmission is not in emergency mode. |
• |
TCM communication is normal. |
• |
Transmission fluid temperature is higher than
20°C (68°F). |
• |
DTCs P0716. P0717, P0721 and P0722 are not
set. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
• |
Driving in D range, 1st gear with engine
break. |
• |
Engine torque is less than 1 N·m
(0.75 lb ft). |
• |
Measured gear ratio deviates more than 20% from
expected ratio. |
• |
Determined after 12 times lasting 1 s or
more. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• |
DTC P1731 is a Type C DTC |
• |
Torque limitation in "D" range 150 N·m
(110 lb ft), in "R" range 170 N·m
(125 lb ft). |
• |
The TCM freezes transmission adaptive
functions. |
• |
The TCM turns OFF all solenoids. |
• |
The TCM allows the vehicle to operate only in
second gear and "R" range after a stop. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• |
DTC P1731 is a Type C DTC. |
• |
Measured gear ratio deviates less than 4% from
expected ratio. |
Diagnostic Aids
Ensure the transmission fluid level, color and odor is correct
and there are no leaks. If there are any other transmission DTCs
set, diagnose those first.

Circuit/System Verification
- Verify the transmission fluid level , color and odor
is correct.
- Operate the vehicle to induce a shift from fifth to
sixth gear while observing the following scan tool parameters. The
scan tool parameters has to change the proper value referring to
the current gear, compare the proper values with:
Transmission System Description and Operation . Perform this
action 2 times.

Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 1
Current |
• |
Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 2
Current |
• |
Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 3
Current |
• |
Brake Band Pressure Control Solenoid Valve

If the scan tool parameter does not change the proper value and
no other DTC than P0729, P0731, P0732, P0733, P0734, P0735, P0736,
P0780, P1731 is set, go to Circuit/System Testing.
If any other DTC is set, diagnose that DTC first.
Circuit/System Testing
Dynamic Test
- Perform the line pressure check
Line Pressure Check .
- Perform the transmission fluid check
Transmission Fluid Level and Condition Check .
- If all circuits test normal, replace the
K71 Transmission Control Module. Verify the DTC does not
reset.
If the DTC resets replace the control valve body.
Repair Instructions
Perform the
Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic
procedure.
