Toyota Avalon (XX50): Pressure Control Solenoid "L" Circuit Short to Battery (P08BA12). Pressure Control Solenoid "L" Circuit Short to Ground or Open (P08BA14). Internal Control Module EEPROM Data Memory Failure (P062F44)

Toyota Avalon (XX50) 2019-2022 Service & Repair Manual / Drivetrain / Ua80e Automatic Transmission / Transaxle / Automatic Transaxle System / Pressure Control Solenoid "L" Circuit Short to Battery (P08BA12). Pressure Control Solenoid "L" Circuit Short to Ground or Open (P08BA14). Internal Control Module EEPROM Data Memory Failure (P062F44)

Pressure Control Solenoid "L" Circuit Short to Battery (P08BA12)

DESCRIPTION

Changing gears is performed by the ECM turning the solenoid (SL1, SL2, SL3, SL4, SL5 and SL6) valves on and off.

If an open or short occurs in any of the solenoid valve circuits, the ECM controls the remaining normal solenoid valves to allow the vehicle to be driven. If all of the solenoid valves are malfunctioning, only the mechanical fluid pressure circuit will function and some manual operation will be possible. If an open or short occurs in a solenoid valve circuit, the ECM cuts power to the malfunctioning solenoid valve.

HINT:

The following table shows normal operation of the solenoid (SL6) valve when the shift lever is in D.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

This DTC indicates a short to +B in the solenoid (SL6) valve circuit. The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the solenoid valves on or off. When there is an open or short in any solenoid valve circuit, the ECM detects the problem, illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.

The ECM performs the fail-safe function and turns the other normal solenoid valves on or off. In the case of an open or short circuit, the ECM stops sending current to the open or shorted solenoid.
