DTC Descriptor
DTC P1811: Maximum Adapt and Long Shift
Diagnostic Fault Information
Perform the
Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle
prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
Circuit/System Description
The transmission pressure is modified by an adaptive modifier which controls the shift execution time. This diagnostic tests the time required to accomplish the shift. If the shift takes longer than 0.65 second and the adaptive modifier cannot shorten
this time, then a counter increases by one.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• | The shift is adaptable. |
• | The 1-2, 2-3, or 3-4 shift adapt cell has reached the limit. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The 1-2, 2-3, or 3-4 shift is longer than 0.65 second, twice in one trip.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• | DTC P1811 is a Type C DTC. |
• | The transmission control module (TCM) commands maximum line pressure. |
• | The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P1811 is a Type C DTC.

Circuit/System Verification
Ensure that the transmission fluid level is at the proper level by performing the
Transmission Fluid Check
. Ensure that the line pressure is within specification by performing the
Line Pressure Check
.
Circuit/System Testing
- Perform the
Transmission Fluid Check
.
⇒ | If the level is not within specifications, repair as necessary. |
- Perform the
Line Pressure Check
.
⇒ | If the pressures are not within specifications, inspect and repair the following components: |
• | PC solenoid valve damaged or contaminated |
• | Pressure regulator valve line-up binding or damaged |
- Using the scan tool observe the shift times for the 1-2 upshift. The 1-2 shift time should be less than 0.65 second.
⇒ | If the shift time is above 0.65 second, inspect and repair the following components: |
• | 1-2 accumulator piston seals rolled or damaged |
• | Forward servo assembly damaged or misassembled. Refer to
Forward Servo Removal
in Transmission Unit Repair Manual. |
• | Second clutch piston and seal assembly binding or damaged |
• | Second clutch fiber and steel plates misassembled, burned, or damaged |
• | Second clutch spring assembly damaged or misassembled. Refer to
2nd Clutch Disassemble
in Transmission Unit Repair Manual. |
- Using the scan tool observe the shift times for the 2-3 upshift. The 2-3 shift time should be less than 0.65 second.
⇒ | If the 2-3 shift time is above 0.65 second, inspect and repair the following components: |
• | 2-3 accumulator piston seals rolled or damaged |
• | Third clutch piston seal rolled or damaged |
• | Third clutch piston damaged or misassembled |
• | Third clutch fiber and steel plates misassembled, burned, or damaged |
- Using the scan tool observe the shift times for the 3-4 upshift. The 3-4 shift time should be less than 0.65 second.
⇒ | If the 3-4 shift time is above 0.65 second, inspect and repair the following components: |
• | 3-4 accumulator piston seals rolled or damaged |
• | 3-4 accumulator piston and pin missing, binding, or damaged. Refer to
Case Assembly Inspection
in Transmission Unit Repair Manual. |
• | Fourth clutch piston seal rolled or damaged |
• | Fourth clutch fiber and steel plates misassembled, burned, or damaged. Refer to
4th Clutch Components Removal
in Transmission Unit Repair Manual. |
- Change the AT fluid and filter. Add new AT fluid, refer to
Transmission Fluid Check
.
⇒ | If the fluid is not at the proper level, add as necessary. |
Important: The Reset Transmission Adapts function will clear all adapt cells. This may affect transmission performance. The TCM will update the transmission adapt cell values as the vehicle is driven
- Perform the Transmission Adapts function.
