Condition




The lock-up solenoid SL controls the transmission lock-up function. Solenoid SL operates when it receives voltage from the control module and is activated under different driving conditions depending on road speed, throttle position and the driving mode selected. Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) AT- 331 is stored if the transmission control module (TCM) registers a short-circuit to supply voltage in the solenoid SL circuit when the solenoid should not be activated. Solenoid SL is probably activated permanently.

Substitute value
The transmission control module (TCM) "Emergency mode I"program has been initiated.

Possible source
- Short-circuit to supply voltage in the signal cable.

Fault symptom[s]
- Since the solenoid is permanently activated the lock-up function is permanently engaged on 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears. Harsh shifting and engine braking function in 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears.
