DTC P0758 2-3 (B) Shift Solenoid Electrical 5.7L and 7.4L Gas
| Table 1: | Shift Solenoid State and Gear Ratio Table |
Circuit Description
The 2-3 Shift Solenoid Valve (2-3 SS Valve) controls fluid acting on the 2-3 shift valve. The solenoid is a normally-open exhaust valve used with the 1-2 Shift Solenoid Valve in order to allow four different shifting combinations. The 2-3 SS Valve attaches to the control valve body within the transmission. The ignition voltage goes directly to the 2-3 SS Valve. The VCM controls the 2-3 SS Valve by providing the ground path through circuit 1223.
When the VCM detects a continuous open or short in the 2-3 SS valve circuit or the 2-3 SS Valve, then DTC P0758 sets. DTC P0758 is a type D DTC. For California emissions vehicles, DTC P0758 is a type A DTC.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | No system voltage DTC P0560. |
| • | The ignition is ON. |
| • | The VCM commands the 2-3 SS Valve On, and the voltage remains high ( B+ ). |
| • | The VCM commands the 2-3 SS Valve Off, and the voltage remains low ( 0 volts). |
| • | All conditions are met for 5 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The VCM commands an immediate landing to second gear. |
| • | The VCM commands maximum line pressure. |
| • | The VCM freezes shift adapts form being updated. |
| • | The VCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) for California emission vehicles. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | For California emissions vehicles, the VCM turns OFF the MIL after three consecutive ignition cycles without a failure reported. |
| • | A scan tool can clear the DTC from the VCM history. The VCM clears the DTC from the VCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a failure reported. |
| • | The VCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the ignition is OFF long enough in order to power down the VCM. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the VCM. Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the transmission 20-way connector. Look for the following conditions: |
| - | 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 condition, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. |
| • | First diagnose and clear any engine DTCs or TP Sensor codes that are present. Then inspect for any transmission DTCs that may have reset. |
Gear | 1-2 SS Valve | 2-3 SS Valve | Gear Ratio |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | ON | OFF | 2.48:1 |
2 | OFF | OFF | 1.48:1 |
3 | OFF | ON | 1.00:1 |
4 | ON | ON | 0.75:1 |
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
This step tests the function of the 2-3 SS Valve and the transmission internal wiring harness.
-
This step tests the power to the 2-3 SS Valve from the ignition through the fuse.
-
This step tests circuit 1223 from the transmission 20-way connector to the VCM for an open.
-
This step tests circuit 1223 from the transmission 20-way connector to the VCM for a short to ground.
