DTC P0747: A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve A Stuck ON







General Description
A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A is installed in the transmission housing. A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A is operated by the powertrain control module (PCM) and converts the modulated pressure to A/T clutch pressure control solenoid A pressure, which operates CPC valve A. Line pressure is modulated to clutch pressure control A pressure (CPC A pressure) by CPC valve A and the CPC valve A spring. A signal from the PCM is output to the proper gear clutch, determined by the gear schedule, to supply the proper CPC pressure according to the driving conditions. When the current from the PCM is high ( ON), A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A operates and the CPC valve A pressure increases. When the current from the PCM is low ( OFF), A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A turns off and CPC valve A pressure decreases. The PCM monitors the input shaft (mainshaft) speed and the output shaft (countershaft) speed at the gear change determined by the shift schedule. When an improper gear ratio is output compared to the predetermined gear ratio, an A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A ON failure is detected and a DTC is stored.

Enable Conditions

Malfunction Threshold
One of these conditions occurs.

- The transmission is held in 2nd gear against the 2nd -> 3rd gear upshift command though there is no record of being neutral when the 1st gear shift is commanded for as long as 20 seconds.
- The transmission is held in 4th gear against the 4th -> 5th gear upshift command though there is no record of being neutral when the 1st gear shift is commanded for as long as 20 seconds.

Driving Pattern
Start the engine, and accelerate the vehicle until the transmission shifts into 5th gear in the D position.

- Drive the vehicle in this manner only if the traffic regulations and ambient conditions allow.

Diagnosis Details

Conditions for illuminating the MIL
When a malfunction is detected during the first drive cycle, a Temporary DTC is stored in the PCM memory. If the malfunction recurs during the next (second) drive cycle, the MIL comes on and the DTC and the freeze frame data are stored.

Conditions for clearing the MIL
The MIL will be cleared if the malfunction does not recur during three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs.

The MIL, the DTC, the Temporary DTC, and the freeze frame data can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the battery.
