Circuit Description

The 1-2, 3-4 shift solenoid (1-2, 3-4 SS) valve controls transmission fluid pressure acting on the 1-2 and 3-4 shift valves to position the valves for the appropriate gear. The 1-2, 3-4 SS valve is a normally-open exhaust valve located on the control valve body. A fused circuit supplies ignition voltage to the 1-2, 3-4 SS valve. The output driver module, within the PCM, commands the solenoid ON or OFF by switching the ground path.When the 1-2, 3-4 SS valve is commanded ON, the PCM senses low voltage.When the 1-2, 3-4 SS valve is commanded OFF, the PCM senses high voltage.

If the PCM detects a continuous open, short to ground or short to power in the 1-2, 3-4 SS valve circuit, then DTC P0753 sets. DTC P0753 is a type B DTC.

Conditions for Running the DTC

•	The system voltage is 9-18 volts.

•	The engine speed is greater than 500 RPM for 5 seconds and not in fuel shut off.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

DTC P0753 sets when one of the following conditions occurs for 5 seconds:

Condition 1

The PCM commands the solenoid ON and voltage feedback remains high (B+).

Condition 2

The PCM commands the solenoid OFF, and the voltage feedback 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 maximum line pressure.

•	The PCM inhibits TCC.

•	The PCM freezes shift adapts.

•	The PCM inhibits 3-2 downshifts when the vehicle speed is greater than 48 km/h (30 mph).

•	The PCM records the operating conditions when the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. The PCM stores this information as Freeze Frame andFailure Records.

•	The PCM stores DTC P0753 in 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 can clear the MIL/DTC.

•	The PCM clears the DTC from the PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 consecutive 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 connectors at the controller, the component and all other circuit connecting points for an intermittent condition. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.

•	Inspect the circuit wiring for an intermittent condition. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents in Wiring Systems.

•	Using a Scan Tool , ensure that the solenoid state and gear ratio are correct for each gear. Refer to the Shift Solenoid Valve State and Gear Ratio table.

•

Ensure the wiring harness is not stretched too tightly or other components are pressing on the A/T inline 20-way connector body. Also inspect for proper clearance to any other components and wiring. Refer to Intermittent Conditions in Engine Controls - 3.1L or Intermittent Conditions in Engine Controls - 3.8L.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

A short to ground in the power feed circuit to the solenoid ahead of the splice would open the fuse and set DTCs for other solenoids on the same circuit. An open in the same circuit would not open the fuse but, would set the other DTCs.
