DTC Descriptor
DTC P0751
- Shift Solenoid Valve 1 Performance - Stuck OFF
DTC P0752
- Shift Solenoid Valve 1 Performance - Stuck ON
Circuit/System Description
The shift solenoid 1 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly which has no serviceable parts. The control solenoid valve assembly is attached to the lower control valve body. The solenoid operates by the Transmission Control Module opening or closing the ground circuit. With the solenoid circuit grounded (solenoid on), the internal plunger and metering ball block the exhaust fluid creating signal fluid pressure. The signal fluid acts against the clutch select valve 2 to overcome the valve spring force moving it to the apply position, allowing the shift. The shift solenoid 1 is commanded ON in Park, Reverse, Neutral and Drive 1 Engine Braking, and commanded OFF in Drive 1-6 gear ranges.

Circuit/System Verification
Note: If other DTCs are set, diagnose those DTCs first.
1. Engine idling in Park position, with parking brake applied and drive wheels chocked.
2. Verify the transmission fluid level and condition is correct. Refer to Transmission Fluid Level and Condition Check Transmission Fluid Level and Condition Check.
3. Ignition ON, clear the Transmission Control Module DTCs with a scan tool.
4. Verify the transmission operation performs as indicated in the road test instructions and DTCs P0751 or P0752 did not set. Refer to Road Test Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview.
• If DTC P0751 or P0752 set
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.
• If DTC P0751 or P0752 did not set
5. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observe from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
6. Verify the DTC does not set.
• If the DTC sets
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.
• If the DTC does not set
7. All OK.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Verify the transmission line pressures are within the specified ranges. Refer to Line Pressure Check Line Pressure Check.
• If the line pressures are not within the specified ranges
Refer to Fluid Pressure High or Low Fluid Pressure High or Low.
• If the line pressures are within the specified ranges
2. Ignition OFF. Remove the Q8 Control Solenoid Valve Assembly.
3. Verify a pressure change occurs for each solenoid when performing the solenoid test. Refer to Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Solenoid Performance Test Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Solenoid Performance Test.
• If a pressure change does not occur for each solenoid
Replace the Q8 Control Solenoid Valve Assembly.
• If a pressure change does occur for each solenoid
4. Verify the conditions listed below do not exist. Carefully inspect each component for that condition. Repair or replace as necessary.
P0751 or P0752 - Lower Control Valve Body
Clutch select valve 2 stuck - debris, sediment, binding or scored bore.
P0751 - Upper Control Valve Body
Bore Plug - Clutch Select Valve 2, Leaking, undersized bore plug, or damaged.
P0751 - Upper Control Valve Body
* Check Ball #2 missing, damaged, or leaking.
* Check Ball #2 Seat damaged or leaking.
P0751 or P0752 - Q8 Control Solenoid Valve Assembly

* O-ring seals leaking.
* Control signal fluid supply leak - valve body filter plate assembly cracked or damaged gasket seal.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification Verification Tests after completing the repair.
* Perform the Reset Transmission Adapts Reset Procedure following all transmission related repairs.
* Refer to Control Module References Control Module References for control solenoid valve assembly replacement, programming, and setup.
