7/23/2023 0 Comments Transmission solenoid![]() With the valve body removed, the turbine shaft speed sensor (NT) can now be seen ( figures 13 and 14). This certainly didn’t help that converter any! Figure 12 is a picture of a good filter for comparison. With the pan and filter removed, a fluid-temperature sensor can be seen and a total of 5 solenoids mounted in the valve body are used to operate this transmission ( Figure 9).ĭue to the overheating condition this transmission experienced, I thought to toss in figures 10 and 11 to show you how badly the filter neck melted down. The pan contains the fluid level check and drain plug as seen in figures 7 and 8. The main fill plug on the rear cover is a better access point. In Figure 3, an additional fill plug can be seen to the left of the transmission case connector. The main fluid fill plug is also located in the rear cover ( Figure 6) where nearly 8 quarts (7.5L) of Toyota’s genuine CVT fluid FE can be put into this transmission to fill this box. The secondary pulley pressure sensor can be found on the back cover below the secondary pulley speed sensor as seen in Figure 5. This is a two-wire Hall Effect sensor supplied with approximately 5 volts on one circuit and a ground on the other. The secondary pulley speed sensor (NOT/NOUT) is located on the back cover ( Figure 4). This sensor is an AC voltage pulse generator type. So, if you find yourself in this predicament, find a safe place to pull off the road and shut the engine off, wait a minute or so and then restart it.Returning back to getting acquainted with this little CVT box, externally, the primary pulley speed sensor (NIN) is located in the case above the fluid warmer/heat exchanger ( Figure 3). So, avoid extended driving when the transmission is in fail safe mode.Ī transmission that goes into limp mode will sometimes reset itself when the engine is shut off and restarted. Excessive heat build up in an automatic transmission is the #1 cause of catastrophic failure. Maximum speed while in limp mode is around 30 mph.Ĭontinuing to drive the vehicle with the transmission in fail safe or driving faster than the recommended fail safe speed will cause the transmission to overheat. When the transmission is in fail safe mode, the vehicle should only be drive home or to the repair shop. In fail safe/limp mode, the transmission will have limited functionality and will lock in either 2nd. This can be described as shifting into the wrong gear, skipping the intended gear and shifting back and forth between two gears.Ī failed transmission solenoid or an open circuit anywhere in the electrical system may cause the transmission to go into Fail Safe (or “limp” mode as it is also called) in order to protect the transmission from internal damage that might be caused by the faulty solenoid or open circuit. ![]() A faulty shift solenoid can cause the transmission to downshift uncontrollably (in other words at random times) or not downshift at all, even when coming to a complete stop.Įrratic Shifts: A defective shift solenoid can also cause the transmission to shift erratically. When the vehicle comes to a complete stop the transmission downshifts into first gear. ![]() No Downshift(s): When the shift solenoids are function properly, the transmission automatically downshifts as the vehicle speed slows. These shift delays can occur when you first shift the transmission into a gear and when the transmission is shifting between gears. ![]() During a shift delay no power is delivered to the drive wheels – it’s as if the shifter is in neutral. A faulty shift solenoid can cause delayed shifts of a few seconds or up to one minute or longer. There primary problem symptoms of a faulty shift solenoid are delayed shifts, no downshifts and erratic shifts.ĭelayed Shifts: When the shift solenoids are working properly, shifts occur smoothly and without delay. ![]()
