DTC Descriptors

DTC P2714

-
Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 4 Stuck Off

DTC P2715

-
Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 4 Stuck On

Circuit/System Description

The clutch pressure control (PC) solenoid 4 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly which has no serviceable components. The PC solenoid 4 regulates transmission fluid pressure (TFP) to the 2-6 regulator valve which controls pressure to the 2-6 clutch. The transmission control module (TCM) calculates gear ratio based on the RPM signals from the input speed sensor (ISS) and the output speed sensor (OSS). The TCM compares the expected transmission gear ratio to the calculated gear ratio for each commanded gear.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P2714

TCM detects an incorrect on-coming clutch gear ratio, or shift flare.

P2715

TCM detects an incorrect off-going clutch gear ratio, or shift tie-up.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

P2714

* DTC P2714 is a Type A DTC.

* TCM commands maximum line pressure.

* TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions.

* TCM inhibits the Tap Up/Tap Down function.

* TCM inhibits manual shifting of forward gears.

* TCM limits the transmission to reverse and 3rd gear.

P2715

* DTC P2715 is a Type A DTC.

* TCM commands maximum line pressure.

* TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions.

* TCM inhibits the Tap Up/Tap Down function.

* TCM inhibits manual shifting of forward gears.

* TCM limits the transmission to reverse and 2nd gear.

Conditions for Clearing the DIC/DTC

DTCs P2714 and P2715 are Type A DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids

Before performing a road test, configure and setup the scan tool for snapshot mode. This allows you to monitor, display, and verify multiple transmission data parameters at one time, after the road test.

Circuit/System Verification

Warning:
Refer to Parking Brake and Drive Wheels Warning Parking Brake and Drive Wheels Warning.


Note:
If other DTCs are set, diagnose those DTCs first.

1. Engine idling in Park, with parking brake applied and drive wheels chocked.

2. Verify correct transmission fluid level and condition. Refer to Transmission Fluid Level and Condition Check Transmission Fluid Level and Condition Check.

3. Verify with a scan tool the Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch 3 parameter values are correct for the Park, Reverse, and Neutral gear selector positions. Refer to Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch Logic Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch Logic.

If not the correct values for TFP Switch 3

Refer to Circuit/System Testing below.

If TFP Switch 3 values are correct

4. Gear select lever in Drive range. Verify the Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch 3 parameter states are correct for all forward ranges when commanded with a scan tool. Refer to Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch Logic Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch Logic.

If not the correct values for TFP Switch 3

Refer to Circuit/System Testing below.

If TFP Switch 3 values are correct

5. Ignition ON, clear the TCM DTCs.

6. Perform the Road Test Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview. Verify the transmission operation performs as indicated in the road test instructions and DTC P2714 or P2715 did not set.

If DTC P2714 or P2715 sets

Refer to Circuit/System Testing below.

If DTC P2714 or P2715 did not set

7. After performing the above steps, verify that the DTC does not reset by operating the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions you observe from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. If the vehicle passes the Circuit/System Verification procedure, then STOP. Do not perform the Circuit/System Testing or Component Testing as this may result in an unnecessary part replacement. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections.

Circuit/System Testing

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

1. Verify the transmission line pressures are within the range specified in the Line PC Solenoid Valve Pressure table. Refer to Line Pressure Check Line Pressure Check and Solenoid Valve Pressure (Gen 1) Solenoid Valve Pressure (Gen 1)Solenoid Valve Pressure (Gen 2) Solenoid Valve Pressure (Gen 2).

If the line pressures are not within the specified ranges

Refer to Fluid Pressure High or Low Fluid Pressure High or Low.

If the line pressures are within the specified ranges

2. Ignition OFF, remove the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly. Refer to Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Replacement Service and Repair.

3. Perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Solenoid Performance Test Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Solenoid Performance Test. Test all solenoids on the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly. A pressure change should occur for each solenoid tested.

If a pressure change does not occur for each solenoid

Replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.

If a pressure change occurs for each solenoid
