Circuit Description
The 1-2/3-4 shift solenoid (SS) valve is located in the valve body of the transmission main case. The TCM selects the required gear by controlling the appropriate solenoid on or off, enabling the transmission to shift. The following table gives the solenoid combinations which result in the 4 forward drive gears:
1 | 2 | 3 | D | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1-2/3-4 Shift Solenoid | OFF | ON | ON | OFF |
2-3 Shift Solenoid | ON | ON | OFF | OFF |
The solenoid is supplied power via the Transmission Power Relay (internal to the TCM). The TCM controls the solenoids by grounding the appropriate control circuit via an internal solid state device called a driver. The driver has a fault line which the TCM monitors. When the TCM commands the 1-2/3-4 SS valve on, the voltage of the control circuit should be low (near 0 volts). When the TCM commands the 1-2/3-4 SS valve off, the voltage potential of the circuit will be high (near system voltage).
When the TCM detects a continuous open, short to power, or short to ground in the 1-2/3-4 SS valve circuit, then DTC P0753 sets. DTC P0753 is a type B DTC.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition switch is in the RUN position.
The TCM high side driver is closed.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC P0753 sets of any one of the following conditions occurs in 0.18 seconds:
| • | The 1-2/3-4 SS valve is commanded off and the feedback voltage is lower than 2.45 volts. |
| • | The 1-2/3-4 SS valve is commanded off and the feedback voltage is lower than 3.53 volts. |
| • | The 1-2/3-4 SS valve is commanded on and the feedback voltage is greater than 4.02 volts. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | Early production - The TCM illuminates the service transmission lamp (STL) and sends a MIL request to the ECM on the second consecutive drive trip that the diagnostic runs and fails. The ECM then illuminates the MIL. |
| • | Late production - The TCM flashes the Sport Mode Lamp and sends a MIL request on the second consecutive drive trip that the diagnostic runs and fails. The TCM then illuminates the MIL. |
| • | The ECM records the operating conditions in the Freeze Frame at the time of the MIL request from the TCM. |
| • | The transmission operates in the default mode (maximum line pressure, command 4th gear, inhibit TCC, freeze shift adapts). |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | Early production - The TCM turns off the STL as soon as the fault is no longer present. |
| • | Late production - The TCM stops flashing the sport mode lamp as soon as the fault is no longer present. |
| • | The ECM turns off the MIL after three consecutive drive trips during which the TCM sends no MIL request. |
| • | A History DTC clears after forty consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are present by this diagnostic or any other emission related diagnostic. |
| • | The scan tool clears the MIL/DTC. |
| • | The TCM cancels the DTC default mode actions when the fault no longer exists and the ignition switch is Off long enough in order to power down the TCM. |
Diagnostic Aids
Vehicles equipped with Fuel Cap Lamps utilize the Sport Mode lamp to indicate a transmission malfunction. In these vehicles, the Sport Mode Lamp flashes at 200 millisecond intervals when the TCM commands the lamp ON.
Vehicles not equipped with Fuel Cap Lamps are equipped with a dedicated Service Transmission Lamp (STL) on the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). The STL illuminates steadily when the TCM commands the lamp ON.
Use the J 35616-A connector test adapter kit for any test that requires probing the TCM harness connector or a component harness connector. Using this kit will prevent damage to the harness connector terminals.
Check for the following conditions:
| • | Poor connections at the TCM or at the component. Inspect the harness connectors for any backed out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and poor terminal to wire connection. |
| Refer to General Electrical Diagnosis in Wiring Systems for proper procedure. |
| • | Damaged harness. Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe the scan tool while moving any related connectors and any wiring harnesses. A change in the display may help to locate the fault. |
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
Listen for an audible click when the solenoid operates. Ground the circuit repeatedly if necessary.
-
If the 1-2/3-4 shift solenoid valve checks out OK and no condition is found with the connections at the TCM, check the wiring and connections closely. If no condition is found, the TCM may be the cause of the condition.
