Toyota Sienna Service Manual: Pressure Control Solenoid "D" Electrical (Shift Solenoid Valve SLT)
DESCRIPTION
The linear 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 duty cycle of the SLT solenoid valve to control hydraulic line pressure coming from the primary regulator valve. Appropriate line pressure assures smooth shifting with varying engine outputs.
(*): Duty Ratio The duty ratio is the ratio of the period of continuity in one cycle.
For example, if A is the period of continuity in one cycle, and B is the period
of non-continuity, then
Duty Ratio = A/(A + B) x 100(%)
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
When an open or short in the linear solenoid valve (SLT) circuit is detected, the ECM interprets this as a fault. The ECM will turn on the MIL and store the DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 INSPECT TRANSMISSION WIRE (SLT)
(a) Disconnect the transmission wire connector from the transaxle.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance (Check for short)
2 CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION WIRE - ECM)
(a) Connect the transmission wire connector to the transaxle.
(b) Disconnect the ECM connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
(d) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

REPLACE ECM
3 INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SLT
(a) Remove the shift solenoid valve (SLT).
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
(c) Connect the positive (+) lead with a 21 W bulb to terminal 2 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 1 of the solenoid valve connector, then check the movement of the valve.
OK: The solenoid makes an operating sound.

Speed sensor check (when using intelligent tester)
(a) Check the backward signal.
(1) Drive the vehicle in reverse for more than 1
second at 3 km/h (2 mph) or higher.
HINT:
Drive the vehicle in reverse and check the speed
sensor signal. Note that the signal check cannot
be completed if the vehicle speed is 45 km/h (28
mph) or more.
(b) Che ...
Diagnosis system
1. CHECK DLC3
The ECU uses ISO 15765-4 for communication.
The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies
with SAE J1962 and meets the ISO 15765-4 format.
NOTICE:
*: Before measuring the resistance, leave the
vehicle as is for at least 1 minute and do not
operate the ignition s ...
Road test
1. PROBLEM SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION
(a) Based on the result of the customer problem
analysis, try to reproduce the symptoms. If the
problem is that the transaxle does not shift up, shift
down, or the shift point is too high or too low,
conduct the following road test referring to the
automatic shi ...
