Circuit Description
The shift solenoid #2 is energized and de-energized by the powertrain control module (PCM) in response to varying transaxle shift demands. With the shift solenoid #2 de-energized, line pressure is applied to the 1-2 shift valve. With the line pressure applied, the 1-2 shift operates, and the transaxle shifts from second to third gear. When the PCM energizes the shift solenoid #1, line pressure is relieved, and the 1-2 shift valve does not operate.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0758 Shift Solenoid (SS) 2 Control Circuit
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | PCM does not see any voltage drop across the shift solenoid #2 control circuit during the attempted energizing of the solenoid. |
| • | One driving cycle detection logic |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
A DTC P0758 is stored and the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is turned ON.
Diagnostic Aids
Inspect for the following conditions:
| • | An open or shorted shift solenoid #2 |
| • | Faulty electrical circuits/open or short to the ground between the shift solenoid #2 and the PCM |
| • | A faulty PCM |
An intermittent may be caused by the following conditions:
| • | A poor connection |
| • | Rubbed through wire insulation |
| • | A broken wire inside the insulation |
Inspect the powertrain control module PCM harness connectors for the following conditions:
| • | Backed out terminals |
| • | Improper mating |
| • | Broken locks |
| • | Improperly formed or damaged terminals |
| • | Inadequate terminal-to-wire connections |
Perform the following steps if DTC P0758 cannot be duplicated:
- Read the information in the freeze frame data.
- Use the data to determine the vehicle operating conditions when the DTC was set.
If any wiring repairs need to be made, refer to Wiring Repairs .
DTC Confirmation Procedure
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK.
- Connect the scan tool to data link connector (DLC).
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Use a scan tool to clear the following items from the PCM memory:
- Start the engine.
- Step firmly on the brake pedal.
- Shift the manual selector to Drive (D).
- Leave the selector in Drive (D) for 10 seconds.
- Accelerate the vehicle in Drive (D).
- Keep driving for 10 seconds at 30 km/h (19 mph).
- Stop the vehicle.
- Use a scan tool to inspect DTC P0758.

| • | The pending DTC |
| • | The freeze frame data |
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
The Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle, prompts the technician to complete some basic checks and store the freeze frame data on the scan tool if applicable. This creates an electronic copy of the data taken when the fault occurred. The information is then stored in the scan tool for later reference.
-
This step inspects the internal coil resistance of the shift solenoid.
-
This step inspects for a short to ground in BU wire.
-
This step inspects for an open in the BU wire.
-
This step inspects the condition of the transaxle internal electrical harness for damage.
-
This step inspects for a short to voltage in the BU wire.
-
This step inspects for a poor electrical connection that may have caused the DTC to set.
-
This step inspects for a faulty PCM.
