SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses the signals from the throttle position sensor, air-flow meter, turbine (input) speed sensor, intermediate (counter) shaft speed sensor and crankshaft position sensor to monitor the engagement condition of the lock-up clutch.
Then the ECM compares the engagement condition of the lock-up clutch with the lock-up schedule in the ECM memory to detect a mechanical problems of the shift solenoid valve DSL, valve body and torque converter clutch.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
Torque converter lock-up is controlled by the ECM based on the speed sensor (NT), speed sensor (NC), engine rpm, engine load, engine temperature, vehicle speed, transmission temperature, and gear selection. The ECM determines the lock-up status of the torque converter by comparing the engine rpm (NE) to the input turbine rpm (NT). The ECM calculates the actual transmission gear by comparing input turbine rpm (NT) to counter gear rpm (NC). When conditions are appropriate, the ECM requests "lock-up" by applying control voltage to the shift solenoid DSL. When the DSL is turned on, it applies pressure to the lock-up relay valve and locks the torque converter clutch.
If the ECM detects no lock-up after lock-up has been requested or if it detects lock-up when it is not requested, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the shift solenoid valve DSL or lock-up system performance. The ECM will turn on the MIL and store the DTC.
HINT: Example: When any of the following is met, the system judges it as a malfunction.
(Engine speed is at least 100 rpm greater than input turbine speed.)
(The difference between engine speed and input turbine speed is less than 35 rpm.)

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT: Using the intelligent tester to perform ACTIVE TEST allows relays, VSVs, actuators and other items to be operated without removing any parts. This non-intrusive functional inspection can be very useful because intermittent operation may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Performing ACTIVE TEST early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time. DATA LIST information can be displayed while performing ACTIVE TEST.
1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST
(a) Warm up the engine.
(b) Turn the ignition switch off.
(c) Connect the intelligent tester together with the CAN VIM (controller area network vehicle interface module) to the DLC3.
(d) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(e) Turn on the tester.
(f) Select the item "DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TEST".
(g) According to the display on the tester, perform the "ACTIVE TEST".
HINT:
(h) Lightly depress the accelerator pedal and check that the engine speed does not change abruptly.
HINT:
1 CHECK OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0741)
(a) Connect the intelligent tester together with the CAN VIM (controller area network vehicle interface module) to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and turn the OBD II scan tool or the intelligent tester main switch ON.
(c) When you use intelligent tester: Select the item "DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES".
(d) Read the DTCs using the OBD II scan tool or the intelligent tester.
Result
HINT: If any other codes besides "P0741" are output, perform the troubleshooting for those DTCs first.
2 INSPECT TRANSMISSION WIRE (DSL)
(a) Disconnect the transmission wire connector from the transaxle.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
3 CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION WIRE - ECM)
(a) Connect the transmission wire connector.
(b) Disconnect the ECM connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
4 INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE DSL
(a) Remove the shift solenoid valve DSL.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
(c) Connect the positive (+) lead to the terminal of the solenoid connector, and the negative (-) lead to the solenoid body.
OK: The solenoid valve makes an operating sound.
5 CHECK TRANSMISSION WIRE
OK: The connectors and pins are securely installed.
There is no open or short on the wire harness.
6 INSPECT TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY ASSEMBLY
OK: There are no foreign objects on each valve and they operate smoothly.
7 INSPECT TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
OK: The torque converter clutch operates normally.

2. REMOVE FRONT PLANETARY GEAR NUT
(a) Using SST, loosen the staked part of the lock nut.
SST 09930-00010 (09931-00010, 09931-00020),

Check component status
(a) Compare the test value with the minimum test limit
(MIN LIMIT) and maximum test limit (MAX LIMIT).
(b) If the test value is between the minimum test limit
and maximum test limit, the component is
functioning normally. If not, the component is
malfunctioning. The test value is usually sign ...
Active Control Engine Mount System
DESCRIPTION
LOCATION
The Active Control Engine Mount (ACM) system decreases engine vibration at
engine idling using the
ACM VSV. The VSV is controlled by a pulse signal transmitted to the VSV from the
ECM. The frequency
of this pulse signal is matched to the engine speed to decrease engine ...
