Circuit Description
The 2-3 shift solenoid valve (2-3 SS Valve) controls the fluid acting on the 2-3 shift valves. The solenoid is a normally-open exhaust valve. In combination with the 1-2 Shift Solenoid Valve (1-2 SS Valve), the 2-3 SS Valve allows four different shifting combinations. The solenoid is attached to the control valve body within the transmission. Circuits 239/839 supply ignition voltage to the 2-3 SS Valve. The PCM controls the solenoid by providing the ground path through circuit 1223.
If the PCM detects a continuous open or short to ground in the 2-3 SS Valve circuit or in the 2-3 SS Valve, then DTC P0758 sets. DTC P0758 is a type A DTC.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The ignition is ON. |
| • | The system voltage is 9-16 volts. |
| • | The engine speed is greater than 500 RPM for 5 seconds, and not in fuel shut off. |
| • | The PCM commands the solenoid ON and the voltage remains high (B+). |
| • | The PCM commands the solenoid OFF and the voltage remains low (0 volts). |
| • | Al conditions are met for 5 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The PCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). |
| • | The PCM commands 3rd gear. |
| • | The PCM commands maximum line pressure. |
| • | The PCM disables shift adapts. |
| • | The PCM inhibits Torque Converter Clutch. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | The PCM turns OFF the MIL after three consecutive trips 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. Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the 2-3 Shift Solenoid Valve Connector. Look for the following conditions: |
| - | A bent terminal |
| - | A backed out terminal |
| - | A damaged terminal |
| - | Poor terminal tension |
| - | A chafed wire |
| - | Moisture Intrusion |
| - | 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 . |
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 1223 is not open or shorted to power.
-
This step verifies that the 2-3 solenoid is not 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.
