P0753

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The 1-2 Shift Solenoid Valve (1-2 SS Valve) controls the transmission fluid pressure on the 1-2 shift valve. The A/C CLUTCH COIL IN-LINE fuse provides ignition voltage to the solenoid. The Output Driver Module (ODM), within the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), provides ground. The PCM monitors voltage levels at the ODM. When you command the 1-2 SS Valve ON, the PCM receives low voltage. When you command the 1-2 SS Valve OFF, the PCM receives high voltage.

DTC P0753 sets if the received voltage is outside the calibration limits. DTC P0753 is a type A DTC.


CONDITION FOR SETTING THE DTC

^ No System Voltage Malfunction DTC P0560.

^ The engine speed is greater than 500 RPM for more than 5 seconds.

^ Not in fuel shut off.

^ No open or short to ground exists for 4.3 seconds.


ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS

^ The PCM inhibits downshifts to 2nd gear if the vehicle speed is greater than 48 km/h (30 mph).

^ The PCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC

^ The PCM turns OFF the MIL after three consecutive ignition cycles without a failure reported.

^ A scan tool can clear the DTC from the PCM history. The PCM clears the DTC from the PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a failure reported.

^ The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the ignition is OFF long enough in order to power down the PCM.


DIAGNOSTIC AIDS

^ Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the PCM. Inspect the wiring at the transmission 7-way connector. Inspect the wiring at the 1-2 SS Valve connector. Look for the following conditions:

- A bent terminal

- A backed out terminal

- A damaged terminal

- Poor terminal tension

- A chafed wire

- A broken wire inside the insulation


^ When diagnosing for an intermitant short or open condition, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change.

TEST DESCRIPTION

6. This Step isolates the fault between the engine harness and the transmission harness.

8. This Step verifies that circuit 1222 is neither open nor shorted to power.

12. This Step verifies that the 1-2 shift solenoid has neither shorted across its windings nor increased its resistance.
