DTC Descriptor
DTC P0756
- Shift Solenoid (SS) 2 Valve Performance - Stuck Off
Circuit/System Description
The shift solenoid (SS) valve 2 is part of the lower control valve body. The SS valve 2 is a normally closed (NC) solenoid valve and controls fluid to the clutch select valve 3 and related clutches. During this diagnostic test, intrusive actions are taken by the transmission control module (TCM) to test the SS valve 2 to see if the valve is stuck OFF. When in first gear engine braking, if first gear ratio is not achieved in a predetermined period of time, the TCM commands second gear and if second gear ratio is attained this indicates a stuck OFF SS valve 2 and the DTC will set.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* No ISS DTCs P0716 or P0717.
* No OSS DTCs P0722 or P0723.
* No IMS DTCs P1825 or P1915.
* The high side driver is enabled.
* The ignition voltage is between 8.6 volts and 19.0 volts.
* Throttle position is 10 percent or greater.
* Engine torque is greater than 120 N.m (89 lb ft).
* Transmission fluid temperature (TFT) is 0°C (32°F) or greater.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
Fail Case 1 and Fail Case 2 must occur in sequential order:
Fail Case 1
Commanded gear equals first lock or first freewheel and gearbox slip is 100 RPM or greater.
Fail Case 2
Commanded gear equals second and second gear box slip is 35 RPM or less or gear box slip is 100 RPM or less and shift time-out occurs and PC Sol 4 commanded pressure is at maximum.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* DTC P0756 is a Type A DTC.
* Inhibit high gear in Hot Mode.
* The TCM inhibits TCC.
* The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P0756 is a Type A DTC.

Circuit/System Verification
1. Perform the Transmission Fluid Check (Transmission Fluid Check) to verify correct fluid level and condition. The transmission fluid level should be within the crosshatch band and the transmission fluid should be red or dark brown .
• If the transmission fluid is low or discolored, refer to Transmission Fluid Replacement (Removal and Replacement) .
2. Engine idling at operating temperature. Attempt to clean or free up a potential sticking valve with the scan tool Service Cleaning Procedure. Refer to Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Cleaning (Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Cleaning) for further instructions.
3. From a stop, accelerate to 56 km/h (35 mph) with the calculated throttle position greater than 15 percent. Perform this test 2 times. The DTCs should not set.
4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, remove the line pressure test hole plug and install the J 21867 to the transmission.
2. Perform the Line Pressure Check (Line Pressure Check) . Verify the transmission line pressure gage is within the range specified in the Line PC Solenoid Valve Pressure table. Refer to Solenoid Valve Pressure (Solenoid Valve Pressure) .
• If not within the specified range, repair as necessary. Refer to Fluid Pressure High or Low (Fluid Pressure High or Low) for further diagnosis.
3. Ignition OFF, remove the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly.
4. Install the DT-47825 to the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly. Refer to Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Solenoid Performance Test (Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Solenoid Performance Test) for detailed instructions.
5. Perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Solenoid Performance Test (Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Solenoid Performance Test) . A pressure change should occur.
• If a pressure change does not occur, replace the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly.
Repair Instructions
Important:
* Perform the Service Fast Learn Adapts (Programming and Relearning) following all transmission related repairs.
* Before replacing the TCM, perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection (Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection) .
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
