Circuit/System Description

The clutch pressure control (PC) solenoid 5 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly which has no serviceable components. The normally low PC solenoid 5 regulates and directs oil pressure to the 1-2-3-4 clutch regulator valve and 1-2-3-4 clutch boost valve. Increasing the pressure for the clutch pressure control solenoid valve 5 the pressure increases to the 1-2-3-4 clutch. The transmission's control module (TCM) varies the current to pressure control solenoid valve 5 via a drive circuit on the low side. Increasing the current to PC solenoid 5 increases oil pressure by closing OFF the solenoid exhaust port. Decreasing the current to PC solenoid 5 decreases oil pressure by opening the exhaust port. PC solenoid valve 5 is supplied with current from the TCM via a high side driver (HSD). The HSD protects the circuit and components from excessive current flow. If excessive current flow is detected, the HSD will turn OFF. When the fault is corrected the HSD will reset.

Conditions for Running the DTC

P2728

- DTC P2728 is not set.
- The engine speed is 400 RPM or greater for 5 seconds.
- The ignition voltage is 8.6 volts or greater.

P2729

- DTC P2729 is not set.
- The engine speed is 400 RPM or greater for 5 seconds.
- The ignition voltage is 8.6 volts or greater.

P2730

- DTC P2730 is not set.
- The engine speed is 400 RPM or greater for 5 seconds.
- The ignition voltage is 8.6 volts or greater.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P2728

The TCM detects an internal electrical performance malfunction of the clutch PC solenoid 5 control circuit where the measured clutch PC solenoid 5 current does not equal the commanded clutch PC solenoid 5 current for 5 seconds.

P2729

The TCM detects a short to ground on the clutch PC solenoid 5 control circuit for 1 second.

P2730

The TCM detects an open or short to voltage on the clutch PC solenoid 5 control circuit for 1 second.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

P2728

- DTC P2728 is a Type C DTC.
- The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions for the 1-2-3-4 clutch.

P2729

- DTC P2729 is a Type A DTC.
- The TCM commands maximum line pressure.
- The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions.
- The TCM inhibits Tap Up/Down function.
- The TCM inhibits manual shifting of forward gears.
- The TCM limits the transmission to Reverse and 3rd gear operation.

P2730

- DTC P2730 is a Type A DTC.
- The TCM inhibits the TCC.
- The TCM forces the HSD OFF.
- The TCM commands maximum line pressure.
- The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions.
- The TCM inhibits Tap Up/Down function.
- The TCM inhibits manual shifting of forward gears.
- The TCM limits the transmission to Reverse and 5th gear operation.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

- DTC P2728 is a Type C DTC.
- DTCs P2729 and P2730 are Type A DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Operate the vehicle in second gear long enough to ensure at least a 3° C (5° F) rise in TCM temperature, then operate the vehicle in Park for 5 seconds.
2. Operate the vehicle in Drive range. Allow the transmission to shift through all forward gear ranges. Verify with a scan tool the following test status parameters displays OK:
- Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 5 Performance Test Status
- Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 5 Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status
- Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 5 Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status
3. After performing the above steps, verify that the DTC does not reset by operating the vehicle within the conditions for running fault codes (DTC). You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions you observe from the freeze frame/failure records. If the vehicle passes the circuit/system verification procedure, then stop. Do not perform the circuit/system test or component test as this may result in unnecessary part replacement. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Note
You must perform the Circuit/System Verification first.

Remove control solenoid valve assembly Q8 with ignition OFF. See Replacing control solenoid valve assembly and transmission control module.

2. Perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection. Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection
3. Place the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly on a clean work surface near the transmission assembly.
4. Connect the DT-47825-20 harness between the vehicle wire harness X1 20-way transmission electrical connector, and the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly electrical connector.
5. Ignition ON, verify with a scan tool the following test status parameters display OK:
- Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 5 Performance Test Status
- Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 5 Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status
- Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 5 Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status
- If any test status parameter displays Fault or Malfunction, replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.

Repair Instructions

Note
- Perform the Transmission Adaptive Values Learn following all transmission related repairs. Programming and Relearning
- Before replacing the TCM, perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection. Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
