Diagnostic Fault Information
Typical Scan Tool Data
Circuit/System Description
The clutch pressure (PC) solenoid 2 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly which has no serviceable parts. The normally high clutch PC solenoid 2 regulates and directs the clutch PC solenoid 2 oil pressure to the 3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve and 3-5 reverse clutch boost valve. Increasing clutch PC solenoid 2 pressure increases pressure to the 3-5 reverse clutch. The TCM varies the current to the PC solenoid 2 through a low side driver. Decreasing the current to the clutch PC solenoid 2 increases clutch PC solenoid 2 oil pressure by closing OFF the solenoid exhaust port. Increasing the current to the clutch PC solenoid 2, decreases clutch PC solenoid 2 oil pressure by opening the solenoid exhaust port. Clutch PC solenoid 2 power is supplied by the TCM through a high side driver (HSD). The HSD protects the circuit and components from excessive current flow. If excessive current flow is detected, the HSD will turn OFF. When the fault is corrected, the HSD will reset.
Conditions for Running the DTC
P0965, P0966, or P0967
* DTCs P0965, P0966, or P0967 have not set this ignition.
* The ignition voltage is 8.6 volts or greater.
* The engine run time is greater than 5 seconds.
* The clutch PC solenoid 2 is commanded ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P0965
The TCM detects an internal electrical performance malfunction of the clutch PC solenoid 2 control circuit where the measured clutch PC solenoid 2 current does not equal the commanded clutch PC solenoid 2 current for 5 seconds.
P0966
The TCM detects a short to ground on the clutch PC solenoid 2 control circuit for 1 second.
P0967
The TCM detects an open or short to voltage on the clutch PC solenoid 2 control circuit, for 1 second.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
P0965
* DTC P0965 is a Type C DTC.
* The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions.
P0966
* DTC P0966 is a Type A DTC.
* The TCM forces HSD1 OFF.
* The TCM forces TCC OFF.
* The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions.
* The TCM commands maximum line pressure.
* The TCM enables Torque management.
* The TCM inhibits TAP Up/Down function.
* The TCM defaults the transmission to a limited shift pattern utilizing 2 forward gears and reverse gear based on the fault detected.
* The TCM inhibits manual shifting of forward gears.
P0967
* DTC P0967 is a Type A DTC.
* The TCM defaults the transmission to 3rd gear or reverse gear.
* The TCM forces TCC OFF.
* The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions.
* The TCM commands maximum line pressure.
* The TCM enables Torque management.
* The TCM inhibits TAP Up/Down function.
* The TCM inhibits manual shifting of forward gears.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* DTC P0965 is a Type C DTC.
* DTCs P0966 and P0967 are Type A DTCs.

Special Tools
DT-47825-10 - Jumper Harness
Circuit/System Verification
1. Operate the vehicle in second gear long enough to ensure at least a 3°C (5°F) rise in TCM temperature, then operate the vehicle in Park for 5 seconds.
2. Operate the vehicle in drive range. Allow the transmission to shift through all forward gear ranges. Verify with a scan tool the following test status parameters display OK:
* Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 2 Performance Test Status
* Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 2 Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status
* Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 2 Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status
3. 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
Note: You must perform the Circuit/System Verification first.
1. Ignition OFF, remove the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly. Refer to Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Replacement (Service and Repair).
2. Perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection (Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection).
3. Place the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly on a clean work surface near the transmission assembly.
4. Connect DT-47825-10 - jumper harness between the vehicle wire harness electrical connector, and the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly electrical connector.
5. Ignition ON, verify with a scan tool the following test status parameters display OK:
* Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 2 Performance Test Status
* Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 2 Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status
* Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 2 Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status
• If any test status parameter displays Fault or Malfunction, replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
* Perform the Service Fast Learn Adapts (Programming and Relearning) following all transmission related repairs.
* Replace the control solenoid valve assembly. Refer to Control Module References (Programming and Relearning) for replacement, setup, and programming.
