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 (2-3 SS Valve), in order to allow four different shifting combinations.

When the PCM detects a 1-1-4-4 or a 2-2-3-3 shift pattern, depending on the state of the mechanical failure, then DTC P0751 sets. DTC P0751 is a type A DTC.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

•	No TP Sensor DTCs P0122 or P0123.

•	No VSS Assy. DTCs P0502 or P0503.

•	No TCC Sol. Valve DTC P0740.

•	No TCC Stuck ON DTC P0742.

•	No 1-2 SS Valve DTC P0753.

•	No 2-3 SS Valve DTC P0758.

•	No 3-2 SS Valve Assy. DTC P0785.

•	No TFP Val. Position Sw. DTC P1810.

•	No TCC PWM Sol. Valve DTC P1860.

•	The engine speed is greater than 450 RPM for 5 seconds.

•	Not in fuel cutoff.

•	The gear range is D4.

•	The vehicle speed is greater than 8 km/h (5 mph).

•	The transmission fluid temperature is 20-130°C (68-266°F).

•	All of the above conditions are met three times and the combination of Conditions 1,2,3 and 4 or Conditions 1,2,3 and 5 occurs three times.

Condition 1

•	The PCM commands a 1-2 shift.

•	The TP angle is 10-40%.

•	The TP angle is constant within +/- 5%.

•	The vehicle speed is 8-56 km/h (5-35 mph).

•	Within 2 seconds, the engine speed in 2nd gear is 100 RPM greater than the last speed in 1st gear.

Condition 2

•	The PCM commands a 2-3 shift.

•	The TP angle is 10-45%.

•	The TP angle is constant within +/- 7%.

•	The vehicle speed is 16-80 km/h (10-50 mph).

•	Within 2 seconds, the engine speed in 3rd gear is 50 RPM less than the last speed in 2nd gear.

Condition 3

•	The PCM commands a 3-4 shift.

•	The TP angle is 8-35%.

•	The TP angle is constant within +/- 7%.

•	The vehicle speed is 32-105 km/h (20-65 mph).

•	Within 2 seconds, the engine speed in 4th gear is 10 RPM greater than the last speed in 3rd gear.

Condition 4

•	The PCM commands 4th gear.

•	The TCC is ON.

•	The TP angle is 7-35%.

•	The speed ratio is 0.95-1.20.

•	The TCC slip speed is 200-1000 RPM for 4 seconds.

Condition 5

•	The PCM commands 4th gear.

•	The TCC is ON.

•	The TP is 7-35%.

•	The speed ratio is 0.65-0.8.

•	The TCC slip speed is -20 to +40 RPM for 4 seconds.

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 shift adapts from being updated.

•	DTC P0751 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

•	Verify that the transmission meets the specifications in the 4L60-E Shift Speed table.

•	Other internal transmission failures may cause more than one shift to occur.

Shift Solenoid Valve State and Gear Ratio 4L60-E

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 that the scan tool commanded all shifts and all shift solenoid valves responded correctly, but all the shifts did not occur.

Step

Action

Value(s)

Yes

Was the Powertrain On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check performed?

Go to Step 2

Go to Powertrain On Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check in Engine Controls

Install the Scan Tool .
With the engine OFF, turn the ignition switch to the RUN position.

Important: Before clearing the DTC(s), use the scan tool in order to record the Freeze Frame and Failure Records for reference. Using the Clear Info function will erase the stored Freeze Frame and Failure Records from the PCM.

Record the DTC Freeze Frame and Failure Records, then clear the DTC(s).
Drive the vehicle in D4 range, under the following condition: Accelerate the vehicle, ensuring that the PCM commands 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears.

Did you detect a 1-1-4-4 or 2-2-3-3 shift pattern?

Go to Step 3

Go to Diagnostic Aids

Check the shift solenoid/hydraulic circuit for the following conditions:

•	An internal malfunction.

•	Damaged seals on the shift solenoid valves.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 4

In order to verify your repair, perform the following procedure:

Select DTC.
Select Clear Info.
Drive the vehicle in D4 range under the following conditions (only if traffic and road conditions permit):

•	Hold the throttle at 20% and accelerate to 88 km/h (55 mph).

•	If the throttle moves more than 5%, stop the vehicle and start over.

Select Specific DTC. Enter DTC P0751.

Has the test run and passed?

System OK

Begin the diagnosis again. Go to Step 1
