Circuit Description
The 1-2 Shift Solenoid Valve (1-2 SS Valve) controls the fluid flow acting on the 1-2 and 3-4 shift valve. The solenoid is a normally-open exhaust valve. The combination of the 2-3 Shift Solenoid Valve (2-3 SS Valve) and the 1-2 SS Valve allows four different shifting combinations. The solenoid attaches to the control valve body within the transmission. Circuit 1039 supplies ignition voltage directly to the 1-2 SS Valve. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) controls the solenoid by providing a ground path through circuit 1222.
If the PCM detects a continuous open or a 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 A DTC.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The ignition is ON. |
| • | The system voltage is 10-16 volts. |
| • | The PCM commands the solenoid ON and voltage remains high (B+). |
| • | The PCM commands the solenoid OFF, and the voltage remains low (0 volts). |
| • | All conditions are met for 5 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The PCM commands maximum line pressure. |
| • | The PCM disables shift adapts. |
| • | The PCM inhibits downshifts to 2nd gear if the vehicle speed is greater than 48 km/h (30 mph). |
| • | The PCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | The PCM turns OFF the MIL after three consecutive ignition cycles without a failure reported. |
| • | A scan tool can clear the DTC from the PCM history. The PCM clears the DTC from the PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a failure reported. |
| • | The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the ignition is OFF long enough in order to power down the PCM. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the PCM. Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the transmission 20-way connector. Look for the following problems: |
| - | A bent terminal |
| - | A backed out terminal |
| - | A damaged terminal |
| - | Poor terminal tension |
| - | A chafed wire |
| - | A broken wire inside the insulation |
| • | When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. |
| • | Ensure that the scan tool commanded gear has correct solenoid states and ratio. Refer to Shift Solenoid Valve State and Gear Ratio table. |
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
This step isolates the fault between the engine harness and the transmission harness.
-
This step verifies that circuit 1222 is neither open nor shorted to power.
-
This step verifies that the 1-2 shift solenoid has neither shorted across its windings nor increased its resistance.
-
Because of the harsh conditions inside the transmission, repairing the A/T Wiring Harness is not acceptable. You must replace the A/T Wiring Harness.
