Circuit Description
The 1-2 Shift Solenoid Valve (1-2 SS Valve) controls the fluid flow acting on the 1-2 and 3-4 shift valves. The 1-2 SS Valve is a normally-open exhaust valve that is used with the 2-3 Shift Solenoid Valve in order to allow four different shifting combinations. The solenoid attaches to the control valve body within the transmission. The 1-2 SS Valve receives ignition voltage through circuit 339. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) controls the solenoid by providing the ground path on circuit 1222.
When the PCM detects a continuous open or short to ground in the 1-2 SS Valve circuit or the 1-2 SS Valve, then DTC P0753 sets. DTC P0753 is a type A DTC.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The system voltage is 8-16 volts. |
| • | The engine speed is greater than 450 RPM for 5 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 D2 line pressure. |
| • | The PCM inhibits 3-2 downshifts if the vehicle speed is greater than 48 km/h (30 mph). |
| • | The PCM freezes shifts adapts from being updated. |
| • | DTC P0753 stores in the 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 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. |
| • | An open ignition feed circuit can cause multiple DTCs to set. |
Gear | 1-2 Shift Solenoid | 2-3 Shift Solenoid | Gear Ratio |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | ON | ON | 3.059:1 |
2 | OFF | ON | 1.625:1 |
3 | OFF | OFF | 1.000:1 |
4 | ON | OFF | 0.696:1 |
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
This step tests the ability of the PCM to control the solenoid.
-
This step tests for power to the 1-2 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 (A/T Wiring Harness Assembly) and the 1-2 SS Valve.
