CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the commanded gear and the speed ratio in order to identify a 1-2 Shift Solenoid Valve (1-2 SS Valve) problem.

When the PCM detects a 2-3 only or a 1-4 only shift pattern, then DTC P0751 sets. DTC P0751 is a type B DTC.


CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC

^ No Throttle Position (TP) DTCs P0122 or P0123.

^ No Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) DTC P0502.

^ No Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) stuck ON DTC P0742.

^ No 1-2 solenoid electrical DTC P0753.

^ No 2-3 solenoid electrical DTC P0758.

^ No TCC Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) solenoid electrical DTC P1860.

^ No TCC enable solenoid electrical DTC P1864.

^ The engine speed is greater than 500 RPM for 5 seconds.

^ Not in fuel shut off.

^ The vehicle speed is greater than 8 km/h (5 mph).

^ The transmission temperature is 30-150°C (86-302°F).

^ The transmission range switch indicates D4.

^ The traction control is not active.

^ All of the above must occur twice and either fail-cases 1,2,3 and 4 or 1,2,3 and 5 are true twice.

FAILURE CRITERIA

CASE 1:

^ 1-2 shift commanded

^ The throttle position is 14-45% and is constant within 5%.

^ The vehicle speed is 8-80 km/h (5-50 mph).

^ When 2nd gear is commanded and within 2.6 seconds, engine speed is 100 RPM greater than the engine speed of the commanded 1st gear.

CASE 2:

^ 2-3 shift commanded

^ The throttle position is 14-45% and is constant within 5%.

^ The vehicle speed is 32-104 km/h (20-65 mph).

^ When 3rd gear is commanded and within 2.5 seconds, the engine speed is 130 RPM less than the engine speed of the commanded 2nd gear.

CASE 3:

^ 3-4 shift commanded

^ The throttle position is 14-25% and is constant within 3%.

^ The vehicle speed is 56-128 km/h (35-80 mph).

^ When 4th gear is commanded and within 2.5 seconds, the engine speed is 5 RPM greater than the engine speed of the commanded 3rd gear.

CASE 4:

^ Fourth gear is commanded and the TCC is ON.

^ The throttle position is 7-32%.

^ The speed ratio is 37.5-39.5.

^ The TCC slip is 500-1000 RPM for more than 2.5 seconds.

CASE 5:

^ Fourth gear is commanded and the TCC is ON.

^ The throttle position is 7-32%.

^ The speed ratio is 26-28.

^ The TCC slip is -20 to +20 RPM for more than 2.5 seconds.


ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS

^ The PCM inhibits downshifts to 2nd gear if the vehicle speed is greater than 48 km/h (30 mph).

^ The PCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) after two consecutive trips with a failure reported.


CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC

^ The PCM turns OFF the MIL after three consecutive ignition cycles without a failure reported.

^ A scan tool can clear the DTC from the PCM history. The PCM clears the DTC from the PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a failure reported.

^ The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the ignition is OFF long enough in order to power down the PCM.


DIAGNOSTIC AIDS

^ Check for PRNDL DTC P0705. A PRNDL DTC affects transmission operation. A PRNDL DTC may set DTC P0751 falsely.

^ Inspect the transmission fluid for sediment.

^ Inspect the transmission filter for debris.

TEST DESCRIPTION

The number below refers to the step numbers on the diagnostic chart.

3. Once the DTC is verified, replace the 1-2 shift solenoid.
