DTC Descriptor
DTC P07A7: Transmission Friction Element 3 Stuck OnTypical Scan Tool Data
Parameter | Commanded ON | Commanded OFF | Stuck/Welded When Commanded OFF |
|---|---|---|---|
Operating Conditions: Vehicle Speed 0-50 MPH Parameter Normal Range: 0-6,000 RPM | |||
Clutch 4 Slip Speed | 0 RPM | 0-6,000 RPM | 0 RPM |
Clutch 4 Status | Applied | Released | Released |
Circuit/System Description
The hybrid powertrain control module (HPCM) monitors the Clutch Slip for each Hybrid Trans. Mode Commanded state. This DTC detects no clutch slip when the 4th clutch is commanded OFF, indicating a stuck or welded clutch condition.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | 4th clutch is the primary off-going clutch. |
| • | Hybrid Trans. Mode Commanded is not 4th. |
| • | The Calc. Trans Input Speed is greater than 250 RPM. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The 4th clutch is commanded OFF for 3 seconds and the HPCM detects the clutch 4 slip speed is less than 80 RPM for 3 seconds, when commanded OFF.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
P07A7 is a Type B DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
P07A7 is a Type B DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
When attempting to set transmission performance DTCs, observe the Freeze Frame and Failure Records to assist in duplicating the failure conditions. Ensure the transmission fluid level is correct and there are no leaks. If there are any other transmission DTCs set, diagnose those first.

Circuit/System Verification
- Clear the DTC.
- Operate the vehicle from 3rd through 4th gear while observing the Clutch 4 Slip Speed parameter. Stop the vehicle and turn the ignition OFF for 30 seconds. Perform this action 2 times. The Clutch 4 Slip Speed parameter display should be greater than 0 RPM when the Clutch 4 Status parameter displays Released.
| ⇒ | If any other transmission DTCs are set, diagnose those first. |
| ⇒ | If the DTC P07A7 resets, go to Component Testing. |
Component Testing
- Perform the Line Pressure Check .
- Perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Solenoid Performance Test .
- Inspect the hybrid low, 1-2 clutch boost valve assembly and the hybrid low, 1-2 clutch regulator valve assembly for sticking or damage.
- Inspect the 4th clutch assembly for a stuck ON or damaged condition.
| ⇒ | If you found a concern, repair the concern. |
| ⇒ | If a concern is found, replace the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly. |
| ⇒ | If you found a concern with the hybrid low, 1-2 clutch boost valve assembly or the hybrid low, 1-2 clutch regulator valve assembly, repair or replace the valve or valve body. |
| ⇒ | If you found a 4th clutch assembly concern, repair or replace the low and reverse clutch assembly as necessary. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
| • | 4th Clutch Piston Removal and 4th Clutch Piston Installation for 4th clutch assembly repair replacement. |
| • | Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Replacement for lower valve body assembly replacement. |
| • | Perform the valve body inspection procedure, refer to Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection . If the inspection procedure indicates to replace the valve body, refer to Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Replacement and Control Valve Upper Body Replacement . |
| • | Control Module References for control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly replacement, setup, and programming. |
