Circuit Description

The 2-3 shift solenoid (SS) valve controls fluid flow acting on the 2-3 shift valves. The 2-3 SS valve is a normally open exhaust valve used with the 1-2 SS valve in order to allow for four different shift combinations.

If the powertrain control module (PCM) detects a non third gear ratio while third gear is commanded, then DTC P0757 sets. DTC P0757 is a type C DTC. For California emissions vehicles and vehicles under 8,600 GVW, DTC P0757 is a type A DTC.

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • No MAF sensor DTCs P0101, P0102 or P0103.
    • No MAP sensor DTCs P0106, P0107, or P0108.
    • No TP sensor DTCs P0121, P0122, or P0123.
    • No VSS DTCs P0502 or P0503.
    • No ISS DTCs P0716 or P0717.
    • No 4WD low DTC P1875.
    • No shift solenoid electrical DTCs P0753 or P0758.
    • No transmission component slipping DTC P0894.
    • No TFP manual valve position switch DTC P1810.
    • No TCC Stuck On DTC P0742.
    • No TCC PWM electrical DTC P1860.
    • Transmission ISS is greater than 7 RPM.
    • Not in 4WD low.
    • The engine vacuum is 0-105 kPa (0-15 psi).
    • Transmission OSS is greater than 7 RPM.
    • The system voltage is 10-18 volts.
    • The throttle angle is greater than 10 percent.
    • The transmission fluid temperature (TFT) is greater than 20°C (68°F) and less than 130°C (266°F).
    • The engine torque must be 108-576 N·m (80-425 lb ft).

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • The commanded gear equals 3rd and the ratio is 2nd for greater than 2.25 seconds.
    • All conditions are met for 7 occurrences.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) for California emissions vehicles.
    • The PCM commands a soft landing to 2nd gear.
    • The PCM commands maximum line pressure.
    • The PCM freezes shift adapts.
    • The PCM inhibits 4th gear.
    • The PCM records the operating conditions when the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. The PCM stores this information as Freeze Frame, California only, and Failure Records, California and Federal.
    • The PCM stores DTC P0757 in PCM history.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
    • For California emissions, the PCM turns OFF the MIL during the third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic test runs and passes.
    • A scan tool can clear the MIL/DTC.
    • For California emissions, the PCM clears the DTC from PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without an emission related diagnostic fault occurring.
    • For Federal emissions, the PCM clears the DTC from PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a non-emission related diagnostic fault occurring.
    • The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the ignition switch is OFF long enough in order to power down the PCM.

Diagnostic Aids
    • Verify that the transmission meets the specifications in the Shift Speed table. Refer to Shift Speed .
    • Other internal transmission failures may cause incorrect gear ratios to occur in 3rd gear.
    • The customer may have concern of an engine over-rev condition or neutral condition in 4th gear. Refer to Shift Solenoid Valve State and Gear Ratio .
    • DTC P0757 defaults to an elevated line pressure condition which may result in partial TCC apply. This may produce an idle surge that could stall the engine.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. This step tests the function of the TFP manual valve position switch.

    2.

  2. This step tests for a selected gear ratio versus a ratio not obtainable under normal operating conditions.

  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.

    3. Important: Before clearing the DTCs, use the scan tool in order to record the Freeze Frame and Failure Records. Using the Clear Info function erases the Freeze Frame and Failure Records from the PCM.

  3. Record the Freeze Frame and Failure Records.
  4. Clear the DTCs.
  5. Select TFP switch A/B/C on the scan tool.
  6. With the engine running, apply the brake pedal and select each transmission range: D1, D2, D3, D4, N, R, and P.

    7. Refer to Transmission Fluid Pressure Manual Valve Position Switch Logic .

Does each selected transmission range match the scan tool TFP switch A/B/C display?

  1. Raise and support the drive axle assembly.
  2. Start the engine.
  3. With the transmission in the D4 range, use the scan tool in order to command 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears while accelerating the vehicle. The vehicle may need to be road tested.

Was 3rd gear commanded and not achieved, or 4th gear commanded and another gear occurred?

  1. Inspect the transmission for the following conditions:
    2. • 2-3 shift solenoid mechanically stuck OFF
    • Refer to Shift Solenoid Leak Test .
    • 2-3 shift valve stuck in the released position
    • Damaged 2-3 shift solenoid seals
    • Refer to Control Valve Body Cleaning and Inspection in Transmission Unit Repair Manual.
  2. Repair the circuit as necessary.

Did you complete the repair?

Perform the following procedure in order to verify the repair:

  1. Select DTC.
  2. Select Clear Info.
  3. Operate the vehicle under the following conditions, only if traffic conditions permit:
    4. • The PCM must see the proper gear ratio for each gear for greater than one second in D1, D2, D3, and D4.
    • Accelerate the vehicle with the throttle angle greater than 7 percent up to 89 km/h (55 mph). The TCC must be locked in FOURTH gear.
  4. Select Specific DTC.
  5. Enter DTC P0757.

Has the test run and passed?
