The clutch pressure control (PC) solenoid 2 is part of the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly and is not serviced separately. The transmission control module (TCM) supplies 12 volts to the clutch PC solenoid 2 on the high side driver 2 circuit. The TCM controls the PC solenoid 2 through the clutch PC solenoid 2 control circuit. The normally high clutch PC solenoid 2 flows fluid to the 3-5-R clutch when commanded OFF and exhausts fluid when commanded ON. The clutch PC 2 regulates the transmission fluid pressure to the 3-5-R clutch.
• | The engine run time is greater than 5 seconds. |
• | The clutch PC solenoid 2 is commanded ON. |
The TCM detects an internal electrical performance malfunction of the clutch PC solenoid control circuit and the actual 3-5-R clutch pressure does not equal the commanded 3-5-R clutch pressure for 300 milliseconds.
The TCM detects an internal low voltage electrical malfunction of the clutch PC solenoid control circuit for 300 milliseconds.
The TCM detects an internal high voltage electrical malfunction of the clutch PC solenoid control circuit for 300 milliseconds.
• | DTCs P0965, P0966, and P0967 are Type A DTCs. |
• | The TCM defaults the transmission to a limited shift pattern utilizing 2 forward gears and reverse based on the fault detected. |
• | The TCM commands maximum line pressure. |
• | The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions. |
DTCs P0965, P0966, and P0967 are Type A DTCs.
When attempting to set solenoid electrical DTCs, it may be helpful to make sure the TCM is warmed up and the transmission is operated in second gear long enough to make sure a 3°C (5°F) increase in TCM temperature. This will place the TCM under the optimal conditions to test solenoid electrical DTCs.

Perform the following procedure to place the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly under the optimal conditions to test solenoid electrical DTCs.
The scan tool data parameter Clutch PC 2 Sol. CKT Status normally displays OK.
If the parameter displays Open/Short to Volts, Short to GND or if the DTC resets, perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection and if no concerns are found replace the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly.
Important: Always perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
Replace the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming.
