DISCUSSION:
If the vehicle operator describes a MIL illumination and the technician finds DTC P1776 Solenoid Switch Valve Latched in LR Position is set, the DRBIII can be used to access the event data screen and look at the "TRS Code" reading.
NOTE:
The solenoid switch valve is located in the valve body and NOT in the solenoid pack.
TRS Code Reads TR2
If the "TRS Code" displays "TR2" it is an indication that the manual valve was not fully in the OD position at the time the DTC was set. Check the shifter cable adjustment and adjust if necessary. Also check the shift control system for excessive friction and/or routing issues.
TRS Code Reads OD
If the "TRS Code" displays "OD" then a sticky solenoid switch valve is the primary cause. Perform the proper diagnosis for the valve body. Inspect for foreign material in the solenoid switch valve and plugs.
