DTC P0753 1-2 Shift Solenoid Circuit Electrical L57/L65 EFI

Automatic Transmission Components Diesel
Automatic Transmission Controls Schematics PCM Control
OBD II Symbol Description Notice
Handling ESD Sensitive Parts Notice

Circuit Description

The 1-2 shift solenoid (1-2 SS) valve controls the fluid flow acting 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 (2-3 SS) valve in order 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 Running the DTC

•	The engine runs more than 475 RPM for greater than 7 seconds.

•	System voltage is 8.0-18.0 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The above conditions are met and either of the following conditions occur for 4.3 out of 5 seconds:

•	The PCM commands the Solenoid ON and the voltage input remains high (B+).

•	The PCM commands the Solenoid OFF and the voltage input remains low (0 volts).

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

•	The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).

•	The PCM commands maximum line pressure.

•	The PCM freezes shift adapts.

•	The PCM stores DTC P0753 in PCM history.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

•	For Federal and California emissions, 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 PCM history.

•	For Federal and California emissions, the PCM clears the DTC from PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 consecutive warm-up cycles without an emission related diagnostic fault occurring.

•	For vehicles equal to or greater than 15,000 lbs GVW, the PCM clears the DTC from PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 consecutive warm-up cycles without a non-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 at the PCM, the transmission connector and all other 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.

•	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.
