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










General Description
Hydraulic pressure to each clutch is controlled by the shift valve. The shift valve activates according to the ON/OFF status of shift solenoid valves A, B, C, D, and E. Hydraulic pressure supply in D is shown above. The line pressure or A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A, B, or C pressure is supplied to each clutch by the shift valve activated. The powertrain control module (PCM) computes the actual ratio of input shaft (mainshaft) and output shaft (countershaft) revolutions. If a difference between the actual ratio and the commanded gear occurs when shifting to each gear position, the PCM detects a malfunction in A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A or in the hydraulic system and stores a DTC.

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.
