Variable Force Solenoid (Linear Solenoid) : With the duty control which uses higher frequency(600Hz), instead of the existing PWM type which adapts low frequency(60Hz) to control, spool valve can be controlled precisely.
In PWM control, the amount of oil flow is determined by the duration of "ON"signal among continuously repeated ON/OFF signals.
In VFS, the amount is decided by how widely spool valve open the passage of going through.
The TCM checks the VFS Control Signal by monitoring the feedback signal from the solenoid valve drive circuit. If an unexpected signal is monitored (for example, high voltage is detected when low voltage is expected, or low voltage is detected when high voltage is expected), the TCM judges that the Low and Reverse control solenoid circuit is malfunctioning and sets this code.
Item | Detecting Condition | Possible cause |
DTC Strategy | ● Check voltage range | ● Open or short in circuit ● Faulty VF SOLENOID VALVE ● Faulty PCM/TCM |
Enable Conditions | ● 16V ＞ Voltage Battery ＞11V ● In gear state(no gear shifting) 500msec is passed from turn on the relay ● A/T Relay = ON ● Engine state = RUN | |
Threshold value | ● Out of available voltage range | |
Diagnostic Time | ● More than 5 seconds | |
Fail Safe | ● Locked in 3rd gear (Control relay off) |

Does "PRESS CONTROL SOL DUTY " follow the reference data?
▶ Fault is intermittent caused by poor contact in the sensor's and/or TCM(PCM)'s connector or was repaired and TCM(PCM) memory was not cleared. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and go to "Verification of vehicle repair" procedure.
▶ Go to "Terminal＆connector inspection" procedure.
Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness and terminals. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.
