DTC P0753 1-2 Shift Solenoid Circuit Electrical 6.5L Diesel
Circuit Description
The 1-2 Shift Solenoid Valve (1-2 SS Valve) controls the fluid flow action on the 1-2 and the 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) to allow four different shifting combinations. The 1-2 SS Valve attaches to the control valve body within the transmission. The ignition voltage goes directly to the 1-2 SS Valve. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) controls the 1-2 SS valve by providing the ground path through circuit 1222.
If 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 ignition is ON. |
| • | The engine runs more than 475 RPM for greater than 7 seconds. |
| • | Invalid output state |
| • | A fault is detected for 4.3 out of 5 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The PCM commands maximum line pressure. |
| • | The PCM freezes shift adapts. |
| • | The PCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
- 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 for poor electrical connections at the PCM Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the transmission 20-way connector. Look for the following problems: |
| - | A bent terminal |
| - | A backed out terminal |
| - | A damaged terminal |
| - | Poor terminal tension |
| - | A chafed wire |
| - | A broken wire inside the insulation |
| • | When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. |
| • | An open ignition feed circuit can cause multiple DTCs to set. |
| • | First diagnose and clear any engine DTCs that are present. Then inspect for any transmission DTCs that may have reset. |
| • | Refer to Shift Solenoid Valve State and Gear Ratio table. |

DTC P0753 1-2 Shift Solenoid Circuit Electrical 5.7L and 7.4L Gas
Circuit Description
The 1-2 Shift Solenoid Valve (1-2 SS Valve) controls the fluid flow action on the 1-2 and the 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) to allow for four different shifting combinations. The 1-2 SS Valve attaches to the control valve body within the transmission. The ignition voltage goes directly to the 1-2 SS Valve. The VCM controls the 1-2 SS Valve by providing the ground path through circuit 1222.
When the Vehicle Control Module (VCM) detects a continuous open or short in the 1-2 SS Valve circuit or the 1-2 SS Valve, then DTC P0753 sets. DTC P0753 is a type D DTC. For California emission vehicles, DTC P0753 is a type A DTC.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The system voltage is 10-16 volts. |
| • | The ignition is ON. |
| • | The engine runs more than 475 RPM for greater than 5 seconds and not in fuel cutoff |
| • | Fails for 4.3 out of 5 seconds. |
| • | The VCM commands the solenoid on, and the voltage remains high (B+), or the VCM commands the solenoid off and the voltage remains low. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The VCM commands maximum line pressure. |
| • | The VCM freezes shift adapts. |
| • | The VCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) for California Emissions vehicles. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
- For California emissions, the VCM turns OFF the MIL after three consecutive ignition cycles without a failure reported.
- A scan tool can clear the DTC from the VCM history. The VCM clears the DTC from the VCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a failure reported.
- The VCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the ignition is OFF long enough in order to power down the VCM.
Diagnostic Aids
| • | Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the VCM. Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the transmission 20-way connector. Look for the following problems: |
| - | A bent terminal |
| - | A backed out terminal |
| - | A damaged terminal |
| - | Poor terminal tension |
| - | A chafed wire |
| - | A broken wire inside the insulation |
| • | When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. |
| • | An open ignition feed on circuit 1020 can cause multiple DTCs to set. |
| • | First diagnose and clear any engine DTCs or TP Sensor codes that are present. Then inspect for any transmission DTCs that may have reset. |
| • | Refer to Shift Solenoid Valve State and Gear Ratio table. |
