Circuit Description
The 2-3 Shift Solenoid Valve (2-3 SS Valve) controls the fluid flow acting on the 2-3 shift valves. The 2-3 SS Valve is a normally-open exhaust valve that is used with the 1-2 Shift Solenoid Valve in order to allow four different shifting combinations. The solenoid attaches to the control valve body within the transmission. The 2-3 SS Valve receives ignition voltage through circuit 339. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) controls the solenoid by providing the ground path on circuit 1223.
When the PCM detects a continuous open or short to ground in the 2-3 SS Valve circuit or the 2-3 SS Valve, then DTC P0758 sets. DTC P0758 is a type A DTC.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The system voltage is 10-18 volts. |
| • | The engine speed is 450 RPM for 8 seconds. |
| • | Not in fuel cutoff. |
| • | All of the above conditions are met for 5 seconds and either of the following fail conditions occurs for 5 seconds. |
| - | The PCM commands the solenoid ON and the voltage input remains high (B+). |
| - | The PCM commands the solenoid OFF and the voltage input remains low (0 volts). |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The PCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). |
| • | The PCM commands third gear only. |
| • | The PCM commands maximum line pressure. |
| • | The PCM freezes shift adapts from being updated. |
| • | The PCM inhibits TCC engagement. |
| • | DTC P0758 stores in PCM history. |
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 at the PCM, the transmission 20-way connector and all other circuit connecting points 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 |
| - | Moisture intrusion |
| - | Corrosion |
| • | When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open condition, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. 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 tests for power to the 2-3 SS Valve from the ignition through the fuse.
-
This step tests the ability of the PCM and the wiring to control the ground circuit.
-
This step measures the resistance of the Automatic Transmission Wiring Harness Assembly and the 2-3 SS Valve.
