DTC P1777 STEP MOTOR - CIRCUIT

DTC P1777 STEP MOTOR - CIRCUIT PFP:31020

Description UCS0063I

● The step motor changes the step with turning 4 coils ON/OFF according to the signal from TCM. As a
result, the flow of line pressure to primary pulley is changed and pulley ratio is controlled
CONSULT-III Reference Value UCS0063J

Remarks: Specification data are reference values.

Item name Condition Display value (Approx.)
STM STEP 0 step - 177 step
SMCOIL A
SMCOIL B During driving
Changes ON⇔OFF.

SMCOIL D

On Board Diagnosis Logic UCS0063K

● This is an OBD-II self-diagnostic item.

● Diagnostic trouble code “P1777 STEP MOTR CIRC” with CONSULT-III is detected under the following
conditions.
– When operating step motor ON and OFF, there is no proper change in the voltage of TCM terminal which
corresponds to it.
Possible Cause UCS0063L

● Step motor
● Harness or connectors
(Step motor circuit is open or shorted.)
DTC Confirmation Procedure UCS0063M

CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
NOTE:
If “DTC Confirmation Procedure” has been previously performed, always turn ignition switch OFF and
wait at least 10 seconds before performing the next test.
After the repair, touch “ERASE” on “SELF-DIAG RESULTS” and then perform the following procedure to con-
firm the malfunction is eliminated.
WITH CONSULT-III
1. Turn ignition switch ON and select “DATA MONITOR” mode for “TRANSMISSION” with CONSULT-III.
2. Drive vehicle for at least 5 consecutive seconds.
3. If DTC is detected, go to CVT-154, "Diagnostic Procedure" .
WITH GST
Follow the procedure “WITH CONSULT-III”.

Diagnostic Procedure UCS0063O

1. CHECK INPUT SIGNALS

With CONSULT-III
1. Start engine.
2. Select “SELECTION FROM MENU” in “DATA MONITOR” mode for “TRANSMISSION” with CONSULT-III.
3. Start vehicle and read out the value of “STM STEP”, “SMCOIL A”, “SMCOIL B”, “SMCOIL C”, and
“SMCOIL D”.
Item name Condition Display value (Approx.)
STM STEP −20 step - 190 step
SMCOIL A
SMCOIL B During driving
Changes ON⇔OFF.
SMCOIL C

OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 4.
NG >> GO TO 2.

2. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN TCM AND STEP MOTOR

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect CVT unit connector and TCM connector (A).
3. Check continuity between TCM connector (A) terminals and
CVT unit harness connector (B) terminals.

4. If OK, check harness for short to ground and short to power.
5. If OK, check continuity between body ground and CVT assembly.
6. Reinstall any part removed.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

3. CHECK STEP MOTOR

Check step motor. Refer to CVT-155, "Component Inspection" .
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 4.
NG >> Repair or replace damaged parts.
