Circuit Description
The 1-2, 2-3, reverse shift solenoid valve (S3) is a normally-closed exhaust valve. The transmission control module (TCM) controls the 1-2, 2-3, reverse shift solenoid valve (S3) with an internal driver that pulls the solenoid control circuit to voltage. During a 3-4 gear shift, the TCM will turn the 1-2, 2-3, reverse shift solenoid valve (S3) OFF. If the 1-2, 2-3, reverse shift solenoid valve (S3) does not close, the U2 shift valve (392) will not move, and a 1.89:1 gear ratio will result in 4th gear, and a 1.45:1 gear ratio will result in 5th gear.
If the TCM detects a 1.89:1 gear ratio in 4th gear, or a 1.45:1 gear ratio in 5th gear, then DTC P0762 sets. DTC P0762 is a type A DTC.

| • | No engine torque signal DTC P1781. |
| • | No TP signal DTC P1791. |
| • | No CAN DTCs U2104 or U2105. |
| • | The brake switch is released. |
| • | The ignition voltage is 10.5-18 volts. |
| • | The transmission fluid temperature is 20°C (68°F) or greater. |
| • | The throttle position (TP) is 10 percent or greater. |
| • | The engine speed is 400 RPM or greater. |
| • | The OSS is 500 RPM or greater. |
| • | The commanded gear is 4 or 5. |
| • | The elapsed time since the most recent gear change is 0.5 seconds or greater. |
| • | The TR switch has been DRIVE for 8 seconds or greater. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The 4th gear ratio is 1.89:1 for 12 seconds or, |
| • | The 5th gear ratio is 1.45:1 for 12 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The TCM requests the powertrain control module (PCM) to illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). |
| • | The TCM turns Trans. Protection Mode ON. The transmission will operate in third gear. |
| • | The TCM requests the PCM to limit engine torque to 150 N·m (111 lb ft). |
| • | The TCM inhibits the torque converter clutch (TCC) from applying. |
| • | The TCM freezes the transmission adaptive functions. |
| • | The TCM increases line pressure by 2.0 kg/cm 2 (14.2 psi) |
| • | The TCM records the operating conditions when the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. The TCM stores this information as a Failure Record. |
| • | The TCM stores DTC P0762 in TCM history. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | The PCM turns OFF the MIL after the third consecutive drive trip in which the TCM does not send a MIL illumination request. |
| • | A scan tool can clear the MIL/DTC. |
| • | The TCM clears the DTC from TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without an emission-related diagnostic fault occurring. |
| • | The TCM cancels the DTC default actions when the ignition is OFF long enough in order to power down the TCM. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | Inspect the transmission fluid lines to the radiator. The lines may be pinched, plugged, or twisted. |
| • | Ask the customer about overloading the vehicle, or exceeding the trailer-towing limit. |
