Advanced Diagnostics - DTC P0757: Shift Solenoid Valve B Stuck ON














General Description
Shift solenoid valve B is installed in the transmission housing. It is controlled by the ON/OFF signal from the powertrain control module (PCM) to apply modulated pressure to shift valve B. The signal from the PCM is output to apply clutch pressure control pressure to the proper gear clutch according to the gear change schedule. When the signal to shift solenoid valve B from the PCM is ON, and modulated pressure is discharged, shift valve B is inactive. When the signal to shift solenoid valve B from the PCM is OFF, and modulated pressure is applied to shift valve B, it operates against the shift valve B spring. 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 change mode, the PCM detects a shift solenoid valve B ON failure and stores a DTC.

Enable Conditions






Malfunction Threshold
One of these symptoms occurs:
- Symptom 1: Transmission fluid pressure switch A (2nd clutch) is ON against the 3rd --> 4th gear upshift command for at least 1.5 seconds.
- Symptom 2: The transmission is neutral against the 5th gear command for at least 2.0 seconds, without records that the engine speed flares when the 3rd --> 4th gear upshift command.

Driving Pattern
1. Start the engine.
2. Drive the vehicle in D until the transmission shifts into 5th gear.

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

Diagnosis Details

Conditions for setting the DTC
When a malfunction is detected during the first drive cycle, a Pending DTC is stored in the PCM memory. If the malfunction returns in the next (second) drive cycle, the MIL comes on and a Confirmed DTC and the freeze data are stored.

Conditions for clearing the DTC
The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the battery.
