DTC P0778 Pressure Control Solenoid "B" Electrical (Shift Solenoid Valve SL2)

DESCRIPTION
Shifting from 1st to 5th is performed in combination with the ON and OFF operation of the shift solenoid valves S1, S2, SR, SL1 and SL2 which are controlled by the ECM. If an open or short circuit occurs in any of the shift solenoid valves, the ECM controls the remaining normal shift solenoid valves to allow the vehicle to be driven smoothly.





MONITOR DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates an open or short in the shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit. The ECM controls the gearshift by turning the shift solenoid valves "ON/OFF". When there is an open or short circuit in any shift solenoid valve circuit, the ECM detects the problem, illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC. And the ECM performs the fail-safe function and turns the other functioning shift solenoid valves "ON/OFF". (If an open or short circuit is detected, the ECM cuts the current to the circuit.)
If the ECM detects an open or short in the shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit, the ECM determines that there is a malfunction.
