Diagnostic Fault Information






Typical Scan Tool Data






Circuit/System Description

The clutch pressure control solenoid 4 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly and is not serviced separately. The transmission control module supplies 12 volts to the clutch pressure control solenoid 4 through the high side driver 1 circuit. The transmission control module controls the clutch pressure control solenoid 4 through the clutch pressure control solenoid 4 control circuit. The normally low clutch pressure control solenoid 4 flows fluid to the 1-3 clutch when commanded ON and exhausts fluid when commanded OFF. The clutch pressure control solenoid 4 regulates the transmission fluid pressure to the 1-3 clutch.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The engine run time is greater than 5 seconds.
* The vehicle speed is less than 200 km/h (124 mph) for 5 seconds.
* The system voltage is 11-18 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P2719

The transmission control module detects an internal electrical performance malfunction of the clutch pressure control solenoid 4 control circuit when the actual 1-3 clutch pressure does not equal the commanded 1-3 clutch pressure for 5 seconds.

P2720

The transmission control module detects an internal low voltage electrical malfunction of the clutch pressure control solenoid 4 control circuit for 500 milliseconds.

P2721

The transmission control module detects an internal high voltage electrical malfunction of the clutch pressure control solenoid 4 control circuit for 500 milliseconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* P2719 is a Type B DTC.
* P2720 and P2721 are Type A DTCs.
* The transmission control module defaults the transmission to a limited shift pattern utilizing 2 forward gears and reverse based on the default detected.
* The transmission control module commands maximum line pressure.
* The transmission control module freezes transmission adaptive functions.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* P2719 is a Type B DTC.
* P2720 and P2721 are Type A DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids

When attempting to set solenoid electrical DTCs, ensure the transmission control module is warmed up and the transmission is operated long enough to ensure a 3°C (5°F) increase in TCM temperature. This will place the transmission control module under the optimal conditions to test solenoid electrical DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Engine ON, verify the transmission fluid temperature is between 50-80°C (122-176°F).
2. Operate the vehicle long enough to verify at least a 3°C (5°F) rise in the TCM temperature parameter, then operate the vehicle in Park for 5 seconds.
3. Engine ON, observe the scan tool Clutch PC 4 Sol. CKT Status parameter. The reading should display OK or Indeterminate.

If the reading is not within the specified range, replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.
