Code No. P1777: Malfunction of Stepper Motor




DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION




JUDGEMENT CRITERIA




PROBABLE CAUSES



  • Malfunction of valve body assembly (Faulty stepper motor)
  • Damaged wiring harness and connectors
  • Malfunction of CVT-ECU

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE


STEP 1. Check for open circuit and short to earth in SPM1, SPM2, SPM3, SPM4 line between the CVT-ECU connector and the CVT assembly (stepper motor)


Between CVT-ECU connector and body earth
OK: Resistance value is approximately 15 Ω.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 3.
Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check for open circuit and short to earth in SPM1, SPM2, SPM3, SPM4 line between CVT-ECU connector and the CVT assembly (stepper motor)


Check that there is no continuity in both sides of the connectors and that no short circuit is present between the connectors and the body earth.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Replace the valve body assembly.
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 3. Symptom recheck after erasing diagnosis code


Q. Is the check result normal?

Intermittent malfunction
Replace CVT-ECU.
