Circuit Description
The 1-2 shift solenoid (SS) valve controls the fluid flow acting on the 1-2 and 3-4 shift valves. The 1-2 SS valve is a normally-open exhaust valve that is used with the 2-3 SS valve in order to allow four different shifting combinations. The solenoid attaches to the control valve body within the transmission. The 1-2 SS valve receives ignition voltage through circuit 339. The powertrain control module (PCM) controls the solenoid by providing the ground path on circuit 1222.
When the PCM detects a continuous open or short to ground in the 1-2 SS valve circuit or the 1-2 SS valve, then DTC P0753 sets. DTC P0753 is a type B DTC.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The system voltage is 8-18 volts. |
| • | The engine speed is greater than 300 RPM for 5 seconds. |
| • | The engine is not in fuel cutoff. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC P0753 sets if either of the following conditions occurs for 5 seconds:
| • | The PCM commands the solenoid ON and the voltage input remains high (B+). |
| • | The PCM commands the solenoid OFF and the voltage input remains low (0 volts). |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in which the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. |
| • | The PCM commands D2 line pressure. |
| • | The PCM inhibits 3-2 downshifts if the vehicle speed is greater than 48 km/h (30 mph). |
| • | The PCM freezes shifts adapts from being updated. |
| • | The PCM stores DTC P0753 in the PCM history during the second consecutive trip in which the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | The PCM turns OFF the MIL during the third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic test runs and passes. |
| • | A scan tool clears the DTC from PCM history. |
| • | The PCM clears the DTC from PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without an emission-related diagnostic fault occurring. |
| • | The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the ignition switch is OFF long enough in order to power down the PCM. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | Inspect the wiring at the PCM, the transmission connector and all other circuit connecting points for the following conditions: |
| - | A backed out terminal |
| - | A damaged terminal |
| - | Reduced terminal tension |
| - | A chafed wire |
| - | A broken wire inside the insulation |
| - | Moisture intrusion |
| - | Corrosion |
| • | When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open condition, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. |
| • | An open ignition feed circuit can cause multiple DTCs to set. Refer to Shift Solenoid Valve State and Gear Ratio . |
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
This step tests the function of the 1-2 SS valve and the automatic transmission (A/T) wiring harness assembly.
-
This step tests for power to the 1-2 SS valve from the ignition through the fuse.
-
This step tests the ability of the PCM and the wiring to control the ground circuit.
-
This step measures the resistance of the A/T wiring harness assembly and the 1-2 SS valve.
