Circuit Description
The automatic transmission (AT) clutch pressure control (PC) solenoid valve 1 is mounted to the transmission case. Upon receiving a linear current signal from the powertrain control module (PCM), the PC solenoid valve 1 converts the modulated pressure to a regulated control pressure and supplies it for use in the pressure regulation using the spring P at the clutch PC valve. The linear current from the PCM is output to the clutch of an appropriate gear position, as determined by the shift schedule, so that a clutch PC appropriate for the driving condition is supplied. When the linear current from the PCM is on the high current side, the AT clutch PC solenoid valve 1 operates and the pressure regulation control pressure shifts to the high pressure side, ON. When the linear current is on the low voltage side, the AT clutch PC solenoid valve 1 stops operating and the pressure regulated control pressure shifts to the low pressure side, OFF. The PCM monitors mainshaft to output shaft speed ratio in the gear positions determined by the shift schedule. When the incorrect ratio for the commanded gear is detected, the PCM determines it as a fault and DTC P0747 sets. DTC P0747 is a type B DTC.

| • | The system voltage is 11 volts or greater. |
| • | The transmission fluid temperature (TFT) is -25°C (-13°F) or greater. |
| • | Start the engine and drive so that the transmission shifts from 1st to 5th gear. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
Case 1
The gear remains in the 2nd gear in response to a 2-3 upshift command.
Case 2
The gear remains in the 4th gear in response to a 4-5 upshift command.
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. |
| • | One of the following actions occur: |
| - | Case 1 |
| - | The PCM limits the transmission shift to 1st and 2nd gears. |
| - | Case 2 |
| - | The PCM limits the transmission shift to 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 and Failure Records. |
| • | The PCM stores DTC P0747 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 ignition switch is OFF long enough in order to power down the PCM. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | Inspect for an AT clutch PC solenoid valve 1 stuck ON. |
| • | Inspect for a stuck clutch PC solenoid valve 1. |
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
This step inspects the transmission fluid to ensure that it is at the proper level.
-
During the clutch PC solenoid valve 1 operation, listen for an audible click. Command the ON and the OFF states. Repeat the commands as necessary.
