P0753

DTC P0753 (3.8 L)















Circuit Description
The 1-2 Shift Solenoid (SS) valve controls the fluid flow acting on the 1-2 and 3-4 shift valves. The 1-2 SS valve is a normally-open exhaust valve that is used with the 2-3 SS valve in order to allow four different shifting combinations. The solenoid attaches to the control valve body within the transmission. The 1-2 SS valve receives ignition voltage through the Ignition 1 voltage circuit. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) controls the solenoid by providing the ground path on the 1-2 SS valve control circuit. When the PCM detects a continuous open, short to ground or short to power in the 1-2 SS valve circuit, then DTC P0753 sets. DTC P0753 is a type B DTC.

Conditions for Running the DTC
^ The system voltage is 8 - 18 volts.
^ The engine speed is greater than 450 RPM for 5 seconds.
^ The engine is not in fuel cutoff.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC P0753 sets if one of the following conditions occurs for 5 seconds:

Condition 1
The PCM commands the solenoid ON and the voltage feedback remains high (B+).

Condition 2
The PCM commands the solenoid OFF and the voltage feedback remains low (0 volts).

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The PCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in which the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met.
^ The PCM commands D2 line pressure.
^ The PCM inhibits 3-2 downshifts if the vehicle speed is greater than 48 km/h (30 mph).
^ The PCM freezes shifts adapts from being updated.
^ The PCM records the operating conditions when the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. The PCM stores this information as Freeze Frame and Failure Records.
^ The PCM stores DTC P0753 in the PCM history during the second consecutive trip in which the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
^ The PCM turns OFF the MIL during the third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic test runs and passes.
^ A scan tool can clear the MIL/DTC.
^ The PCM clears the DTC from PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without an emission-related diagnostic fault occurring.
^ The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and/or the ignition switch is OFF long enough in order to power don the PCM.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
4. This step tests the function of the 1-2 SS valve and the Automatic Transmission (AT) wiring harness assembly.
5. This step tests for power to the 1-2 SS valve from the ignition through the fuse.
6. This step tests the ability of the PCM and the wiring to control the ground circuit.
8. This step measures the resistance of the AT wiring harness assembly and the 1-2 SS valve.
