DTC Descriptor
DTC P0756
- Shift Solenoid Valve 2 Performance - Stuck Off
Circuit/System Description
The shift solenoid valve 2 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 3 to overcome the valve spring force moving it to the apply position, allowing the shift. The shift solenoid 2 is commanded OFF in Reverse, and commanded ON in Park, Neutral, Drive 1 Engine Braking, and Drive 1-6 gear ranges.

* Ignition voltage is between 8.6-32 V.
* The engine speed is between 400-7500 RPM.
* The engine run time is greater than 5 seconds.
* High Side Driver (HSD) 1 is enabled.
* Accelerator pedal position signal is valid.
* The TCM must receive a valid torque signal from the ECM.
* Throttle position is 0.5 percent or greater.
* Transmission fluid temperature (TFT) is -6.6°C (20°F) or greater.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
* Commanded gear is 1st locked.
* Transmission gearbox slip is 400 RPM for 10 seconds.
* Transmission forces 2nd gear.
* Transmission has obtained a valid 2nd for 3 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* DTC P0756 is a Type A DTC.
* The TCM inhibits TAP function.
* The TCM inhibits TCC.
* The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions.
* The TCM commands high line pressure.
* The transmission defaults to Reverse gear, 1st gear, or 3rd gear.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P0756 is a Type A DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
Before performing a road test, configure and setup the scan tool for snapshot mode. This will allow you to display, monitor, and verify multiple transmission data parameters at one time, after the road test.

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 DTC P0756 did not set. Refer to Road Test Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview.
• If DTC P0756 is set
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.
• If DTC P0756 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. Refer to Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Replacement Service and Repair.
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.
P0756 - Lower Control Valve Body (351)
Clutch select valve 3 stuck off - debris, sediment, binding or scored bore.
P0756 - Lower Control Valve Body (351)
Bore Plug - Clutch Select Valve 3 leaking, undersized bore plug, damaged.
P0756 - Lower Control Valve Body (351)
* Check Ball #3 missing, damaged, leaking.
* Check Ball #3 Spacer plate seat damaged, leaking.
