Circuit Description
The 1-2 shift solenoid (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 SS valve, in order to allow 4 different shifting combinations
When the powertrain control module (PCM) detects a 2-2-3-3 shift pattern, then DTC P0751 sets. DTC P0751 is a type B DTC.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0751 1-2 Shift Solenoid Valve Performance - No First or Fourth Gear
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | No throttle position (TP) sensor DTCs P0122 or P0123. |
| • | No vehicle speed sensor (VSS) DTCs P0502 or P0503. |
| • | No torque converter clutch (TCC) solenoid 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 DTC P0785. |
| • | No transmission fluid pressure (TFP) manual valve position switch DTC P1810. |
| • | No torque converter clutch (TCC PWM) pulse width modulation solenoid valve DTC P2761. |
| • | The engine speed is greater than 450 RPM for 5 seconds. |
| • | The engine is not in fuel cutoff. |
| • | The gear range is D4. |
| • | The TP angle is greater than 10 percent. |
| • | The transmission fluid temperature is 20-130°C (68-266°F). |
| • | The system voltage is 10-18 volts. |
| • | The engine torque is 67-542 N·m (50-400 lb ft). |
| • | The transmission output speed is 150 RPM or greater. |
| • | The transfer case ratio in 4WD low is 0.9-1.2. |
| • | The transfer case ratio in 4WD high is 2.6-2.85. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC P0751 sets if both of the following conditions occur twice:
Condition 1
| • | The PCM commands first gear for 2 seconds. |
| • | The estimated gear ratio is 1.2-1.825. |
| • | All conditions are met for 0.5 seconds. |
Condition 2
| • | The PCM commands fourth gear for 1 second. |
| • | The estimated gear ratio is 0.95-1.15. |
| • | All conditions are met for 6 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in which the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. |
| • | The PCM inhibits the TCC. |
| • | The PCM inhibits 4th gear in Hot Mode. |
| • | The PCM commands D2 line pressure. |
| • | The PCM freezes Transmission Adaptive Functions from being updated. |
| • | The PCM records the operating conditions when the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. The PCM stores this information as Freeze Frame and Failure Records. |
| • | The PCM stores DTC P0751 in PCM history. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | 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. |
| • | The PCM clears the DTC from PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without an emission-related diagnostic fault occurring. |
| • | The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and/or 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. |
| • | Other internal transmission failures may cause more than one shift to occur. |
| • | Refer to the Shift Solenoid Valve State and Gear Ratio table. |
Test Description
The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table.
Step | Action | Values | Yes | No | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? | -- | Go to Step 2 | Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information | ||||
Important: Before clearing the DTC, 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. Accelerate the vehicle, ensuring that the PCM commands 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears. Did you detect a 2-2-3-3 shift pattern? | -- | Go to Step 3 | Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems | |||||
3 | Inspect the shift solenoid/hydraulic circuit for the following conditions:
Refer to Shift Solenoid Leak Test . Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 4 | -- | ||||
4 | Perform the following procedure in order to verify the repair:
Hold the throttle at 20 percent and accelerate to 88 km/h (55 mph). Has the test run and passed? | -- | Go to Step 5 | Go to Step 2 | ||||
5 | With the scan tool, observe the stored information, capture info, and DTC Info. Does the scan tool display any DTCs that you have not diagnosed? | -- | Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information | System OK |
