The shift solenoid valve SLT controls the transmission line pressure for smooth transmission operation based on signals from the throttle position sensor and the vehicle speed sensor. The ECM adjusts the current to shift solenoid valve SLT to control hydraulic line pressure coming from the primary regulator valve. Appropriate line pressure assures smooth shifting with varying engine outputs.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P27137F | Pressure Control Solenoid "D" Actuator Stuck Off | The ECM detects a malfunction in the shift solenoid valve SLT (ON side) according to the difference in the speed between the turbine and the output shaft, and also by the ATF pressure. (2 trip detection logic) | ·
Shift solenoid valve SLT remains open ·
Shift solenoid valve SL1, SL2, SL3 or SL4 remains open or closed ·

The ECM calculates the amount of clutch slip based on the input turbine speed, output shaft speed, and gear ratio. If the amount of clutch slip exceeds a specified level, the ECM will set this DTC and illuminate the MIL.
When shift solenoid valve SLT remains on, the line pressure goes down and clutch engagement force decreases.
If the vehicle continues to be driven under these conditions, the clutch will burn up and the vehicle will no longer be drivable.
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
After repairs have been completed, clear the DTCs and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Start the engine.
Perform the D Position Shift Test in Road Test.
Stop the vehicle.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P27137F.
Check the DTC judgment result.

If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform the Confirmation Driving Pattern and check the DTC judgment result again.
Perform registration and/or initialization when parts related to the automatic transmission are replaced.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Trouble Codes.
Read the DTCs using the GTS.

Perform the test while the ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) temperature is between 50 and 80°C (122 and 176°F).
Be careful to prevent the hose of SST from interfering with the exhaust pipe.
This check must be conducted after checking and adjusting the engine.
Perform the test with the air conditioning off.
Using the GTS to perform Active Tests 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 Tests early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time. Data List information can be displayed while performing Active Tests.
Turn the ignition switch off.
Lift the vehicle.
Remove the test plug from the transmission case and connect SST.
Lower the vehicle.
Fully apply the parking brake and chock the 4 wheels.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Start the engine.
Warm up the ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid).
Measure the line pressure when the engine is idling.
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Active Test / Activate the Solenoid (SLT).
Perform the Active Test according to the display on the GTS.
Measure the line pressure with SST.

The "Activate the solenoid (SLT)" Active Test is performed to allow confirmation that the line pressure changes. The line pressure changes are confirmed using the same SST that is used for the Hydraulic Test
Note that the pressure readings for the Active Test and Hydraulic Test are different.
The line pressure changes as specified when performing the Active Test.

This test should always be performed with at least 2 people.
Warm up the engine.
Turn the ignition switch off.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Active Test / Control the Shift Position.
Perform the Active Test according to the display on the GTS.
Comparing the gear commanded by the Active Test with the actual gear enables confirmation of the problem.

This test can be conducted when the vehicle speed is 50 km/h (31 mph) or less.
The 4th to 5th and 5th to 6th up-shift must be performed with the accelerator pedal released.
The 6th to 5th and 5th to 4th down-shift must be performed with the accelerator pedal released.
Do not operate the accelerator pedal for at least 2 seconds after shifting and do not shift successively.
The gear commanded by the ECM is shown in the Data List / Shift Status display on the GTS.
Compare the ECM commanded gear and actual gear.
