Diagnostic Fault Information
Typical Scan Tool Data
Circuit/System Description
The shift control solenoid (SLB1) is installed on the front valve body. The solenoid linearly controls hydraulic pressure in response to signals output from the transmission control module TCM. Through this, the SLB1 controls operating hydraulic pressure to the brake for smooth shifting. According to each shift control solenoid assembly, the transmission shifts from 1st gear into 6th gear and vice versa. As a fail-safe function, if any shift control solenoid assembly abnormality occurs, the TCM will disable the current to the solenoids.
Conditions for Running the DTC
P2727
* The ignition voltage is 10.2-15.5 V.
* The engine speed is greater than 400 RPM for 2 s.
* The transmission is not in emergency mode.
* Driving in D range.
* TCM communication is normal.
* DTCs P2729 and P2730 are not set.
P2729
* The ignition voltage is 10.2-15.5 V.
* The engine speed is greater than 400 RPM for 2 s.
* The transmission is not in emergency mode.
* Driving in D range.
* TCM communication is normal.
* DTC P2730 is not set.
P2730
* The ignition voltage is 10.2-15.5 V.
* The engine speed is greater than 400 RPM for 2 s.
* The transmission is not in emergency mode.
* Driving in D range.
* TCM communication is normal.
* DTC P2729 is not set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P2727
Deviation between commanded current and feedback current.
P2729
The TCM detects at least 5 times less than 20 mA current consumption of the SLB1 control circuit for 100 ms.
P2730
The TCM detects at least 5 times more than 1 358 mA current consumption of the SLB1 control circuit for 100 ms.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
P2727
* DTC P2727 is a Type B DTC.
* The TCM turns OFF all solenoids.
* The TCM allows the vehicle to operate only in the second gear and reverse (R) range after a stop.
P2729, P2730
* DTCs P2729 and P2730 are Type B DTCs.
* No self learning function.
* The TCM turns OFF all solenoids.
* The TCM allows the vehicle to operate only in the second gear and reverse (R) range after a stop.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
P2727
* DTC P2727 is a Type B DTC.
* The TCM detects the error current less than 50 mA for 2.75 ms.
P2729, P2730
* DTCs P2729 and P2730 are Type B DTCs.
* The current consumption of the SLB1 control circuit is 0.1-1.1 A for 500 ms.
Diagnostic Aids
When attempting to set solenoid electrical DTCs, ensure the TCM is warmed up and the transmission is operated in 2nd gear long enough to ensure a 3°C (37°F) increase in TCM substrate temperature. This will place the TCM in the optimal condition to test solenoid electrical DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification
1. Engine running, ensure the transmission fluid temperature is between 50-80°C (122-176°F).
2. Engine running in Park position, parking brake applied, place the gear select lever in each gear position for 2-3 s. Return the gear select lever to the Park position.
3. Verify the scan tool Brake Band Pressure Control Solenoid Valve Current parameter is between 0.1-1.1 A.
• If the parameter not between 0.1-1.1 A
Refer to Circuit/System Testing
• If the parameter between 0.1-1.1 A
4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. It may be helpful to operate the vehicle within the conditions identified from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
• If the DTC is set
Refer to Circuit/System Testing
• If the DTC is not set
5. All OK.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Engine running at idle, command the Shift Brake Pressure Control Solenoid Valve with a scan tool.
2. Verify the value should change from 0.0-1.1 A.
• If the value does not change from 0.0-1.1 A
1. Ignition OFF, and all vehicle systems OFF. Remove the K71 Transmission Control Module to disconnect the X2 harness connector. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
2. Test for infinite resistance between ground and the terminals listed below:
* Low reference circuit terminal 21 at the X2 harness connector
* Control circuit terminal 16 at the X2 harness connector
• If less than infinite resistance, replace the wiring harness
• If infinite resistance
3. Test for 5-5.6 ohms at 20°C (68°F) between the low reference circuit terminal 21 and the control circuit terminal 16.
• If not between 5-5.6 ohms, perform the Control Solenoid Valve Inspection AF40-6 (MDK) - Automatic Transmission if the inspection fails, replace the control valve body.
• If the value changed from 0.0-1.1 A
3. Verify the DTC does not set while operating the vehicle under the Conditions for Running the DTC.
• If the DTC is set
Replace the K71 Transmission Control Module.
• If the DTC is not set
4. All OK.
