DTC P0733 [FN4A-EL]


DTC P0733	Gear 3 incorrect (Incorrect Gear Ratio Detected)
DETECTION CONDITION	• The PCM monitors the revolution ratio of forward clutch drum revolution to differential gear case revolution when the following monitoring conditions are met. If the revolution ratio is below 0.863 or 1.249 or more, the PCM determines that there is malfunction. Monitoring condition: - ATF temperature 20 °C {68 °F} or more - Driving in 3 GR in D range - Engine running - Turbine speed within 225-4,988 rpm - Differential gear case (output) revolution speed 35 rpm or more - None of the following present: DTC P0500, P0705, P0706, P0711, P0712, P0713, P0715, P0751, P0752, P0753, P0756, P0757, P0758, P0761, P0762, P0763, P0766, P0767, P0768, P0771, P0772, P0773 Diagnostic support note: • This is a continuous monitor (CCM). • The MIL does not illuminate. • The HOLD indicator light flashes if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle. • FREEZE FRAME DATA is not available. • A PENDING CODE is not available. • The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE	• Low ATF level • Deteriorated ATF • Shift solenoids A or C stuck • Stuck pressure control solenoid • Low line pressure 3-4 clutch slipping • Forward clutch slipping • Stuck control valve (Bypass, TCC or 3-4 shift valve) • Oil pump malfunction • PCM malfunction


STEP	INSPECTION		ACTION
1	VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY • Verify related Service Bulletins and or/on-line repair information availability. • Is any related repair information available?	Yes	Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information.
1		No	Go to the next step.
2	INSPECT ATF CONDITION • Inspect the ATF condition. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) INSPECTION [FN4A-EL].) • Is it normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
2		No	Replace the ATX, then go to Step 8.
3	INSPECT ATF LEVEL • Start the engine. • Warm up the ATX. • Is the ATF level within the specification? (See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) INSPECTION [FN4A-EL].)	Yes	Go to the next step.
3		No	Add the ATF to the specified level, then go to Step 8.
4	INSPECTION SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE A AND C FOR CLICK SOUND • Perform operation inspection. (See SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTION [FN4A-EL].) • Verify the click sound of shift solenoid A and C when applying B+ to each transaxle connector terminal. • Is a click heard from the solenoids?	Yes	Go to the next step.
4		No	Replace the solenoid that a click sound is not heard, then go to Step 8. (See SOLENOID VALVE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [FN4A-EL].)
5	INSPECT LINE PRESSURE • Start the engine. • Measure the line pressure. Specification Idle: 330-470 kPa {3.4-4.7 kgf/cm², 49-66 psi} Stall: 1,160-1,320 kPa {11.9-13.4 kgf/cm², 170-190 psi} • Are the line pressure within the specifications? (See Line Pressure Test.)	Yes	Go to the next step.
5		No	All ranges: Replace the oil pump, then go to Step 8. Any ranges: Replace the control valve body, then go to Step 8. (See CONTROL VALVE BODY REMOVAL [FN4A-EL].) (See CONTROL VALVE BODY INSTALLATION [FN4A-EL].)
6	INSPECT STALL SPEED • Measure the stall speed in the D range. (See Stall Test.) Specification 2,100-2,600 rpm • Is the stall speed within the specification?	Yes	Go to the next step.
6		No	Replace the ATX, then go to Step 8. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [FN4A-EL].)
7	INSPECT FREQUENCY OF INPUT/TURBINE SPEED SENSOR WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE • Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. • Connect the WDS or equivalent. • Start the engine. • Measure the frequency of input/turbine speed sensor while driving vehicle under the following conditions: - Vehicle speed (VSS PID): 60 km/h {37 mph} - Drive in the D range, 3GR - Throttle opening angle (TP PID): approx. 25% • Was the frequency of the input/turbine speed sensor at approx. 1,200 Hz?	Yes	Go to the next step.
7		No	Replace the control valve body, then go to the next step. (See CONTROL VALVE BODY REMOVAL [FN4A-EL].) (See CONTROL VALVE BODY INSTALLATION [FN4A-EL].)
8	VERIFY REPAIR OF DTC P0732 • Make sure to reconnect all the disconnected connectors. • Clear the DTC using the WDS or equivalent. • Start the engine. • Warm up the ATX. • Drive the vehicle under the following conditions for more than 2 s. - ATF temperature: 20 °C {68 °F} or more - Drive in the D range, 3GR - Vehicle speed (VSS PID): 4 km/h {3 mph} or more • Are any DTCs present?	Yes	Replace the PCM, then go to the next step. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L3].)
8		No	Go to the next step.
9	VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE • Perform the "After Repair Procedure". (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE [FN4A-EL].) • Are any DTCs present?	Yes	Go to the applicable DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE [FN4A-EL].)
9		No	DTC troubleshooting completed.
