Circuit Description
The 2-3 shift solenoid (2-3 SS) valve controls transmission fluid pressure acting on the 1-2 and 2-3 shift valves to position the valves for the appropriate gear. The 2-3 SS valve is a normally-open exhaust valve located on the control valve body. Circuit 1039/839 supplies ignition voltage to the 2-3 SS valve. The output driver module, within the PCM, commands the solenoid ON or OFF by providing a ground path through circuit 1223. When the 2-3 SS valve is commanded ON, the PCM senses low voltage. When the 2-3 SS valve is commanded OFF, the PCM senses high voltage.
If the PCM detects a continuous open or short to ground in circuit 1223 or in the 2-3 SS valve, then DTC P0758 sets. DTC P0758 is a Type A DTC.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The system voltage is 9-18 volts. |
| • | The engine speed is greater than 500 RPM for 5 seconds and not in fuel shut off. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC P0758 sets when either of the following conditions occurs for 5 seconds:
| • | The PCM commands the solenoid ON and the voltage remains high (B+). |
| • | The PCM commands the solenoid OFF and the voltage remains low (0 volts). |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). |
| • | The PCM commands 3rd gear. |
| • | The PCM commands maximum line pressure. |
| • | The PCM freezes shift adapts. |
| • | The PCM inhibits TCC. |
| • | The PCM stores DTC P0758 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 clears the DTC from the PCM history. |
| • | The PCM clears the DTC from the PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 consecutive warm-up cycles without an 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
| • | Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the PCM, the transmission 20-way connector, the 2-3 SS valve connector and all other circuit connecting points for the following conditions: |
| - | A backed out terminal |
| - | A damaged terminal |
| - | Reduced terminal tension |
| - | A chafed wire |
| - | A broken wire inside the insulation |
| - | Moisture intrusion |
| - | Corrosion |
| • | When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. |
| • | Ensure that the scan tool commanded gear has correct solenoid states and ratio. |
| Refer to the Shift Solenoid Valve State and Gear Ratio table. |
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
This step isolates the fault between the engine harness and the transmission harness.
-
This step verifies that circuit 1223 is not open or shorted to power.
-
This step verifies that the 2-3 solenoid is not shorted across its windings nor increased its resistance.
-
Because of the harsh conditions inside the transmission, repairing the automatic transmission (A/T) wiring harness is not acceptable. You must replace the A/T wiring harness assembly.
