Circuit Description

The 2-3 shift solenoid (SS) valve is a normally-open exhaust valve that, in conjunction with the 1-2 shift solenoid (SS) valve, allows 4 different shifting combinations. Refer to Shift Solenoid Valve State and Gear Ratio . The 2-3 SS valve is attached to the control valve body, within the transmission.

The solenoid receives ignition voltage through the fused power feed circuit. The PCM commands the solenoid ON or OFF by providing a ground path.

When the PCM detects a continuous open, short to ground, or short to voltage in the 2-3 SS valve circuit, then DTC P0758 sets. DTC P0758 is a type A DTC.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The ignition switch is in the ON position.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

One of the following conditions occurs for 4.3 seconds:

•	The PCM commands the solenoid ON, and the voltage feedback remains high, B+.

•	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).

•	The PCM commands an immediate landing to 2nd gear.

•	The PCM commands maximum line pressure.

•	The PCM inhibits TCC engagement.

•	The PCM freezes transmission adaptive functions.

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

•	The PCM stores DTC P0758 in PCM history.

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 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 ignition switch is OFF long enough in order to power down the PCM.

Diagnostic Aids

Ensure the wiring harness is not stretched too tightly or other components are pressing on the connector body. Also, inspect for proper clearance to any other components and wiring. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.

Test Description

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

This step tests the electrical operation of the solenoid.

This step verifies the ability of the PCM to command the solenoid.

This step verifies that the circuit has the correct resistance.

Step

Action

Value(s)

Yes

Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls?

Go to Step 2

Go to Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls in Engine Controls - 2.2L (L61)

Install a scan tool.
Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.

Important: Before clearing the DTC, use the scan tool in order to record the Freeze Frame and Failure Records. Using the Clear Info function erases the Freeze Frame and Failure Records from the PCM.

Record the DTC Freeze Frame and Failure Records.
Clear the DTC.

Is DTC P0753 or P1860 also set?

Go to Step 3
